American history is not objective
It is funny how America only lives by what it thinks is right regardless of the facts disputing its theories.
COMMENTARY
Binsfeld is not person for position
Michigan’s former Lt. Gov. Connie Binsfeld is now a candidate for the MSU Board of Trustees. Before you cast your ballot please consider not just name recognition, but Binsfeld’s past record. The Lansing State Journal and Detroit Free Press described, in detail, how Binsfeld used her position of power to pressure the Department of Natural Resources and the Environmental Protection Agency to grant permits. Binsfeld’s longtime friend Michael Hendrickson of Munising was twice denied a permit by the DNR for a landfill that was near a wetland connected to Lake Superior.

MEXA needs to give fraternity an apology for incident
I would like to address the issue of racism, which has circulated throughout this campus during the last few weeks, due to the “rock incident” that happened more than two weeks ago.
COMMENTARY
Voter registration is pretty simple
The article The State News ran regarding the voter registration deadline was misleading (“Voter registration deadline close,” SN 10/6). Students do not, in fact, have to vote in the city currently listed on their driver’s license.

COMMENTARY
East Lansing bar scene gives U much to talk about
Bar behavior is a beautiful thing. For some people, the main goal of the evening is to find a willing member of the opposite sex to talk with, dance with and form a lifelong friendship with - right.
COMMENTARY
Casting call
Despite past voter turnouts, young adults must establish themselves as a powerful voting bloc.The 26th Amendment of the Constitution guarantees all citizens 18 and older the right to vote and still, young adults constitute the worst showing in general elections.In the 1996 presidential election, roughly 32 percent of those 18 to 24 voted, while only 54 percent of all the voting-age population punched a ticket.
