The time is overdue for Spartans to receive a simple lesson in the English language. Contrary to what seems to be the popular belief, the words "library" and "telephone booth" are not synonymous. MSU's undergraduate student government is right to advise MSU libraries to ban cell phone use from the university's main study areas.
While working an event at the Union last month, parking attendant Grant Humerickhouse leapt from the path of a swerving driver - as the car accelerated to evade a parking ticket. Humerickhouse didn't expect to complete daring maneuvers when he began working for the MSU Department of Police and Public Safety's special event parking more than a year ago. But it wasn't the first time the criminal justice sophomore - or fellow special event workers - have stood in the path of an angry driver.
The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance is up in arms over an animal law Web site created by an MSU-Detroit College of Law professor. Beth Ruth, a spokeswoman for the organization, said the DCL site is "anti-hunter." "I think it is OK to have your own ideas on things, but I don't think a public university should be supporting this sort of material," Ruth said. The site, created by Professor David Favre, has been available for public viewing since October.
Reading "America's unalienable rights include selfishness, greed, power" (SN 1/15), I was relieved to see in print how increasingly racist America is becoming (as if it wasn't before). I think if people actually thought about it, they would realize such things as the Immigration and Naturalization Service's registration policy for men of "certain" countries that happen to be predominately populated by Muslims is not merely the national security measure it appears to be.

OK. This column will likely generate a bit of hate mail. But I don't mind being a martyr this time.
Despite recognition of Martin Luther King Jr.'s work as a civil rights leader, some states have been reluctant to embrace the relevance of the holiday. Celebration of the holiday began in 1986.

I was disgusted when reading Matt Treadwell's "America's unalienable rights include selfishness, greed, power" (SN 1/15). It seems as though he has no understanding of this great country.
I wish I could pick up The State News and read, just once, about something wonderful Trustee Joel Ferguson has done for MSU.
What kind of a world do we live in when our most prominent leaders are forgotten?What kind of a society holds on to its prejudices without moving forward?What kind of a country will the United States become if any of this continues?I am sure I am not the only person who ponders these questions every January when Martin Luther King Jr.'s life is celebrated.Most of the time, I wonder if anyone cares about his message at all.Everyone in the United States can be inspired to attend the various rallies, marches, campaigns and speeches coinciding with this event, but has it become evident to anyone how significant King's life actually was?
MSU Trustee David Porteous was appointed to the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank this week.

Porteous said a portion of the bank's earnings go toward grants for communities that want to increase housing through programs such as Habitat for Humanity.

Porteous is an attorney and president of Porteous Law Office PC, in Reed City. Melissa Sanchez

Tenants beware - many area landlords are going the extra step to ensure occupancy codes are followed. With East Lansing officials pressing the over-crowding issue for the past couple years, landlords say students can sometimes be elusive. Fred Bauries, an East Lansing landlord, says he keeps a close look on the houses around him - mostly because he rents out the three houses right next door. "My most creative way would be that I live next door," he said.
