Native Americans - and everyone else - have the right to protest Columbus Day. On Monday night, roughly 200 people gathered at the rock on Farm Lane to celebrate Indigenous People’s Day, which protests the federal observance of Columbus Day.
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.
According to Olin Health Center, “Most MSU students have five or fewer drinks per week.”Who cares?As a college student, I am tired of being persecuted for my drinking choices.
I am writing in response to the article that appeared in The State News (“Fraternity paints over heritage message on rock,” SN 9/25). After finishing the article I just had to laugh out loud.
The East Lansing community should thank Jacobson’s for many years of memories and wish it luck as it moves on.
When confronting the crisis of low oil supplies, the two presidential candidates reveal startling differences in their leadership abilities.
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.
With regards to The State News column (“‘U’ should not have to put up with hate crimes,” SN 10/2), I would like to say that I am appalled.
I’m writing in defense of Dave Wirth’s letter to the editor (“Runners shouldn’t sweat cat-calling,” SN 9/18) that appeared last month in The State News.

Through this letter I hereby proclaim my distaste toward said article by Dottie Boyce (“‘U’ should not have to put up with hate crimes,” SN 10/2). For those of you reading this, the commentary is basically aimed toward Boyce.

I am writing in response to Dottie Boyce’s column (“‘U’ should not have to put up with hate crimes,” SN 10/2) regarding so-called “hate crimes.” I am not going to debate whether the activities in Bailey and Bryan residence halls could be construed as hate crimes or not. What I am here to do is criticize the very nature of hate crime legislation.
I am writing in response to the opinion column by Sarah Emery (“Don’t cry over spilled mocha latte with whipped cream,” SN 9/22). I always frown upon articles that bash and trash the very pinnacle of superficiality: trendiness.
