Although it always is the sexual assault survivor’s decision whether to report the incident, we encourage anyone who has been assaulted to dial 911.
This past summer, six of my friends from high school and I loaded into a minivan and headed to a county park to watch a fireworks show. Talking and singing at the top of our lungs, we were goofing around the whole way there. We had just entered a roundabout when the car in front of us slammed on its brakes. By the time my friend hit her brakes, it was too late.
Whether or not marriage equality has popular support does not make it any less of a right. It was not the constituents’ place to make a blanket judgment in part implying same-sex couples are inherently worse parents, and it is irresponsible for the state to defend that decision.
Poverty affects people of all races and gender. Therefore, by using poverty as a factor, no one will be discriminated against or given special treatment.
I bought my first can of Mace last Monday. It was nonchalant enough, going to the nearest hardware store and finding the little pink bottle beneath the chewing gum that lined the shelves before the register.
Can calories tell time? You might wonder this while reaching for that nightly bag of chips. Does the fact that the clock reads past midnight make any difference in how our bodies react to calories in comparison to ones consumed earlier in the day?
The justices should uphold the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling to overturn the statewide ban on affirmative action.
We are only starting to make advancements — it would be disheartening to see more roadblocks impede whatever progress we are making.
Change happens when we all speak up and have a conversation. So thank you to everyone who has, or will, share the tragic story of Coleman.
If you listen to me, someday you too can be a struggling 20-something who just moved out of his parent’s house and is preparing to take on more crushing student loans. Dream big.
We still have work to do to make campus a more welcoming place for everyone, but the new center is a testament to how positive change can happen if students advocate for themselves and fight to make MSU a better place.
Although keeping some bars open two hours later potentially could benefit students and East Lansing businesses, a bill proposed to do just that presents more problems than it’s worth.
Being judged from one quick interview doesn’t show who you truly are, and it certainly doesn’t make you any less of a person.
While we don’t advocate delaying housing plans until the last minute, there is no need to feel rushed or pressured.
Listen up, all you mass transit miscreants. I’m sick and tired of dealing with your offenses.
Spartan Village is old. We understand that, and so does Residence Education and Housing Services, or REHS, which has devised a strategic plan that puts the demolition of Spartan Village Apartments between 2017 and 2020. It’s time to tear it down, but not without first considering the massive displacement that mainly will affect international and graduate students.
When you can learn to stop focusing on the things other people have and focus on yourself, you’ll discover that it’s easier to get the things you want. You might even find out that you already have them.
Apparently, some schools such as the San Fernando Valley in California send home “healthy or unhealthy” letters to alert parents if the school deems their child overweight or obese.
Acknowledging that LGBTQ issues are worth learning about is a stride toward spreading awareness and acceptance on campus. Later, it could inspire students to take that tolerance out into the workplace.
Truly, giving back to the community around us is in the spirit of being a Spartan. As it is Homecoming week, I hope to end with the thought that this spirit is “super.”
