Although there are many different candidates to consider on this year’s ballot, Michigan voters also have to consider six ballot proposals. Here’s how The State News Editorial Board feels about each one.
I am a resident of the Bailey neighborhood, along with my husband and two young daughters. I love my neighborhood, the students (even when they wake me up at 2 a.m. walking home from the bar!) and living in a college town. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Every Oct. 31, kids, teenagers and adults get to dress up and celebrate the spookiest holiday: Halloween. Today, many MSU students will do the same.
With Halloween celebrations in full swing between two “Halloweekends,” reporters of The State News campus desk discuss girls’ costumes — or lack thereof.
One week from today, millions of Americans will head to their local voting booths to cast their ballot for the presidential and local elections.
Eight years ago, I rescued my beagle, Roscoe, from Last Chance Rescue in Howell, Mich. My family had always traveled far and wide to find breeders for dogs, so this time was really different. But I knew we were saving his life, so at that point, it didn’t really matter.
Did you know you can get a library card from the East Lansing Public Library with your MSU student ID? You don’t even have to be a resident of East Lansing.
The world is more interconnected now than ever before. With the invention of the Internet, ideas and communication can travel from one side of the world to the other in seconds.
One of my roommates, Pat, isn’t someone who is very vocal about being disappointed too often. However, I vividly remember the beginning of our freshman year, when Pat was livid about losing a bumper sticker he had gotten for free. The bumper sticker, which Pat claims was stolen by one of our friends, was from the Green Party, and it read: “Make love, not war.”
For the couple hundred students living in transitional housing this fall, living situations proved frustrating.
Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012, will be a historic day in American history. Sure, it happens to be the day the presidential election falls on, which could unseat an incumbent president or give America four more years of the first African American president. But there’s one more very important thing happening on Nov. 6 that should be brought to everyone’s attention: it is my 20th birthday.
Young voter turnout in 2008 rose to 51.1 million, making it the highest rate ever. Two million more young people voted than in 2004.
In more ways than one, the New York City subway serves as a metaphor for life. I spent my summer on the subway traversing the city underground, and the words that come over every loudspeaker in every single train as the doors close have become ingrained in my brain.
Yesterday, The State News Editorial Board had the opportunity to sit down with U.S. Sen. Carl Levin to discuss important, topical issues before the Nov.
I wanted to write to you and let you know how thrilled I am that you printed an article in Tuesday’s paper about Detroit.
Monday night concluded the last of the presidential and vice presidential debates, and with two weeks left until election day, campaigning for political causes will hit its peak for this election season.
People have been asking me what’s been wrong lately. Apparently, I’ve been off. I tell them all I’m just fine, but the truth is, maybe I’m not. But there’s just nothing for someone to say to “I think I’m losing myself” or “I don’t know where home is anymore.”
Maybe it’s because I’m an angry, man-hating, feminist, liberal b****, but I can’t help but notice the not-so-subtle misogyny that runs rampant on Michigan State’s campus on a daily basis.
From 1805 until 1847, Detroit was the capital of the young state of Michigan. The city was a port of trade and industry that soon became the motor capital of the world. In the early 20th century, the city was booming and stronger than ever.
Rivalries can be a lot of fun for both schools involved. It’s common, of course, for two schools who have developed such a strong rivalry to trash-talk in person or on social networking websites. And although most of the ill will between the two schools results in casual insults of sporting or academic records, in some extreme cases it can result in physical fights.
