On Sept. 20 of this year I was in a little bicycle mishap. It happened at or around 10:15 a.m. while I was biking up Farm Lane, near Service Road on my way to the commuter lot.
I could not have been happier to see Amanda Clapp’s column (“Girlie magazines destroy teenage girls’ self-esteem,” SN 9/25). Too many girls these days fall victim to the traps set by the media.
I am a senior at East Lansing High school. I got up Friday morning and stumbled upon Sarah Emery’s column (“Don’t cry over spilled mocha latte with whipped cream,” SN 9/22) and my first thought was, “Why hasn’t anyone said anything before now?” Every year I watch the crowds of college students invade the town, take over the coffee shops, bars, bookstores and restaurants of our streets only to cause havoc in the world I know.
I’m writing in response to the decision made by President Clinton to use 5 percent of the national oil reserves in order to alleviate the high energy prices, specifically at the gas pump. I find his decision to be irresponsible and simply stupid.
Painters must use common courtesy when covering the rock on Farm Lane with colors. Late Thursday night, members of Culturas de las Razas Unidas painted a message to promote Hispanic Heritage Month on the rock.
My name is David Kost, and I’m running for Ingham County sheriff. I recently received a registered letter from Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth stating that I was given a 60-day involuntary unpaid leave of absence.

I am writing in response to Sheena Harrison’s article (“Fraternity paints over heritage message on rock,” SN 9/25). The outrage felt by Culturas de las Razas Unidas has little foundation.
Why is it that every weekday I see Charles Schulz’s signature on a comic with the current date?
I found Dave Wirth’s letter an embarrassment to himself (“ Runners shouldn’t sweat cat-calling,” SN 9/18). I am surprised that anyone would sit down and carefully type out the display of ignorance that was Wirth’s letter.

Prior to the Republican National Convention this year, party officials removed from the GOP platform a statement promoting English as the official language of the United States.
I was considering writing a letter about driving on campus. When I saw the front page of Thursday’s edition of The State News (“Student concerned with ‘U’ traffic, SN 9/21), it made what I had to say much more important. I drive on campus, as well as drive with my friends on campus.
We have all done it. Scanned through popular “girlie” mags to search for the perfect ’do, the top 10 ways to catch his eye or the fab five diets of the year to lose 10 pounds in a week.
The stories on Harvard Professor Stephen Jay Gould and discussions with MSU President M. Peter McPherson, Ronald Fisher, director of the Honors College, and others is among the most exciting articles I’ve read in my nearly 40 years at MSU.
I am writing in response to Tom DeKorne's letter (“‘U’ women are not always nice,” SN 9/22). In it he basically said that only shallow, one-night-stand-seeking guys go to bars or parties.
MSU President M. Peter McPherson’s $25,000 bonus is an insult to MSU’s underpaid faculty.
I am writing in response to the two political letters that were printed in The State News (“Michigan proposal goes against ban,” SN 9/21 and “Vouchers combine church and state,” SN 9/21). I would like to know why people write these letters, and why The State News feels they absolutely must print them? I write several letters to the editor a year.
