The visit of “The Genocide Awareness Project” has spurred opinions in The State News lately, and as the president of MSU Students For Life, I would like to respond.

There were three, in addition to signs posted for crisis pregnancies and post-abortive counseling.

But in addition to that, some MSU graduates have found experience to give them the upper hand when looking for a job - experience gained through an internship.Pat Lovelace, a 1998 MSU building construction management graduate, said his work experience with a construction company helped him to not only land a job, but forge an idea of what he wanted to do with his career.“Students should get an idea of the business world before they commit to a contract or a job,” he said.

Over the years, we’ve grown accustomed to seeing the ticker slide across the bottom of the television screen, showing us the recent actions in the stock market. And since this summer, the ticker has been showing a lot of downward pointing arrows.

Looking for jobs on the Internet has become quite common during the past few years. These sites have grown tremendously, hosting new user features and services. Hours can literally be spent finding salary information, learning about specific career fields and even getting moving assistance for that trek to a new city. But are these sites the Internet’s replacement of career counselors?
It’s that time of the semester again. The time when ASMSU’s loan service closes up shop, leaving penniless students, well - penniless. But that may be the smallest problem for our undergraduate student government’s bank service.
