Finally, the semester is almost over. You’ve toiled for months, and now all that hard work has led to a nice long vacation. Of course, for many students, that vacation means heading back to mom and dad’s.
We we’re disappointed with your editorial (“Cool negotiations,” SN 12/5), regarding negotiations between the Graduate Employees Union and MSU administration. As adults with families and children who devoted significant time and energy to deliberately crafting a reasonable and just contract proposal, we reject your assumptions.

Lansing - Mayor David Hollister came down from his 10th floor office Wednesday to buy a paper from an Old Newsboy. Since 1924, the Old Newsboys Newspaper has been raising money to buy footwear for needy schoolchildren by selling newspapers with spoof news stories about people in the public eye. The paper is printed and written by the Lansing State Journal. On Friday, more than 400 Old Newsboys sales people will be stationed throughout the city selling the papers. Tom Shiels has been with the organization since 1968 and was a past president. He said the tradition began in 1910, when truancy officer George Palmer, noticed many children were not attending school in winter because they had no shoes to wear.

In response to your editorial (“Marched Out?,” SN 12/5) I would be the first to donate money toward the cause of sending the band.
I think it is a shame the band may not travel to California with the team. The school needs to get off the money, the band is a big part of that team and supports the players no matter what. The team needs to stand up for the band.
