COMMENTARY

Cursing in every football game chant reflects poorly on MSU

The conduct at the football games this year is abysmal. I don’t see how threading a curse word into every chant gives our team leverage, or anything, for that matter, besides a bad reputation. Tom Izzo and Mark Dantonio, two of the most esteemed figures at this university, have asked us to show respect and class, yet our chants grow more vulgar and disrepectful every year. Even the band, who prelude our first down chant, is changing up the music just to keep our mouths shut.

Columnist needs to approach immigration issue respectfully

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said that illegal immigrants killed 12 Americans daily, not 25. This of course doesn’t make either statistic any better. We should definitely address the issue of illegal immigration in America, but I don’t think building a wall to keep immigrants out or denying some amnesty will do it. If someone wants to get over that wall, they’ll find a way.

An apple a day ...

It’s been a symbol of technology, religion and even fairy tales — well before it poisoned Snow White or supposedly assisted Isaac Newton in determining the law of gravity. But the so-called forbidden fruit — an apple — definitely isn’t off limits. The traditional teacher’s-pet gift is filling orchards around Michigan and is packed with nutrients — which just might help keep that doctor away.

As the leaves change to colors of brown, red and amber and fall from the trees, so do fresh apples. This also signifies trips to the nearest cider mill or apple orchard to partake in fresh-squeezed apple cider and homemade doughnuts.

Education of sexual assault needs changes

My roommate was sexually assaulted last week, and I am upset. I tell you this because it makes me angry, and I do not understand why men do this and why the university does not do something about it.
