MSU Board of Trustees members Dorothy Gonzales and David Porteous said Wednesday they had perused — but not read — through the report from the independent commission reviewing the April 2-3 disturbances. "You have to spend a lot of time going through the As and Bs and Cs of that to make sure you understand," Gonzales said. Porteous, who is also the board's chairman, gave a moderate summary of the contents of the report when Residence Halls Association members asked his opinion on the report itself at their weekly meeting.

"It was a pretty dramatic day, to say the very least," said East Lansing City Councilmember and former Mayor Mark Meadows, who was present at the board meeting to testify in opposition to the plan. McPherson's proposal — which originally called for a transplant of the College of Human Medicine to Grand Rapids — was met with strong opposition in both the MSU and Lansing communities. "It was an impossible plan.
According to a protester in "Wal-Mart faces public protest" (SN 11/17), Wal-Mart is a "monster" that needs to "be kept in check." And based on a recent editorial, "Fight the smile" (SN 11/18), The State News agrees. The inconsistencies and ignorance of people promoting "economic justice," a euphemism for socialism, is glaring. On one hand, consumer "advocates" crucify the oil industry for "price gouging." On the other, these same groups criticize Wal-Mart for prices that are too low.
