Start spreading the news. They’re leaving today. They don’t wanna be a part of it. New York, New York. The Bronx Bombers appeared to be duds, as they no longer are kings of the hill, cream of the crop, top of the heap. And I don’t want to wake up, as my baseball blues are melting away.
The University of Michigan’s student-run newspaper is the focus of a boycott by minority groups on the Ann Arbor campus. Several groups accused the The Michigan Daily last week of intentionally misspelling names of minority students, composing unbalanced articles on the conflict in the Middle East, and not employing a diverse staff. “What the paper represents is total mainstream white frats and all that,” said Sherry Guirguis, a member of the Orthodox Christian Fellowship and the U-M American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
MSU officials briefed The State News last week on its investments and said the school’s long-range investment portfolio is expanding, even among a weak U.S.

National Coming Out Days are being celebrated at MSU and throughout the country this week. The special time serves as a prominent reminder that we have a lot of work to do if we want to overcome hate. Thankfully, the tide of change has begun to turn to the right direction. The Alliance of Lesbian-Bi-Gay-Transgendered and Straight Ally Students is planning events today through Friday. The LGBT and ally community began its week long celebration Sunday with and anti-hate crimes vigil at the rock on Farm Lane and an overnight vigil at the state Capitol in memory of Matthew Shepard, a University of Wyoming student who was beaten to death four years ago because he was gay. The 18-hour Capitol vigil symbolizes the time Shepard was left wounded and dying on a field post. Today, alliance supporters will “Stand Out” at busy traffic areas sporting T-shirts with derogatory labels to promote hate awareness. Weeks like these are needed and useful to promoting awareness that can further erode the walls of hate that have stood for so long. Somehow, even after years of marches, rallies and growing support for these groups, there still is a segment of our society that believes it is fine to hate and discriminate against other people. Through demonstrations and education, it can be shown that hatred, as well as discrimination, is unacceptable.
