U should not forget about campus little pleasures
For the first time in my more than three and a half years at MSU, I went down to the Red Cedar River to feed the ducks. This isn’t something I would normally do, but my friend’s 4-year-old daughter was here for the weekend, and with the choice of watching MSU get slaughtered in a football game or feeding the ducks, I chose the latter.

All people should attend U events
I am writing in response to a State News article (“Groups seek to limit attendance,” SN 11/1). I think it is a very bad idea to limit parties and activities to MSU students only.

Protecting life is governments job
Smoking is a threat to more than the smoker. It is my belief that everyone has a right to be an individual, but this right is not absolute.

U shouldnt cut mens athletics
MSU is a member of the prestigious Big Ten Conference. It is an embarrassment that our institution must resort to cutting men’s programs. Title IX was established to “promote gender equity in athletics,” to ensure female athletes the same opportunities as males.

I am writing in response to James Jahnke’s column about his Ohio State Buckeye loyalties (“It’s OK to be a huge Buckeyes fan in East Lansing,” SN 11/2). I have just four words for you, sir: Give me a break.
