Responsibility for incidents that occur at a party is a sobering and necessary hazard of hosting parties. Make no mistake, when it comes to any alcohol-related issue stemming from a party, authorities will hold whoever provided the alcohol responsible.
Last spring, after looking at a number of apartments, I decided to make an unusual housing decision. I decided to become a commuter student.
My roommates and I sometimes affectionately call our house The Real World: East Lansing. It is a true story of six strangers choosing to live in a house and finding out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real crazy.
Gov. Rick Snyder’s state budget proposal contained some ideas worth considering and several that should sound alarm bells for those concerned about Michigan’s future: a $222 million cut to colleges and universities; a $100 million cut to revenue sharing, which funds essential services provided by communities; and a $470 per-pupil cut to K-12 educati
I recently had the opportunity to attend the teach-in panel on the uprisings throughout North Africa and the Middle East hosted by the Arab Cultural Society. The panel featured several professors from various colleges at MSU.
A proposed change to Michigan’s item-pricing laws boils down to choosing between jobs and consumers or businesses and money. Michigan’s Legislature should think hard about who it’s working for when considering a bill to loosen an item-pricing law that currently requires most groceries to be labeled with individual price tags.
As a current MSU senior, I am very connected with the campus community. I relate to the university in many ways, but one aspect of the experience I feel is quite significant is the history and tradition surrounding all of us here.
When the U.S. House of Representatives voted to cut all federal funding to Planned Parenthood last Friday, women across the country began to organize to create a coalition so tenacious God herself would sidestep.
As one wanders MSU’s sprawling campus, the MSC smokestack easily is recognizable as a prominent part of the Spartan skyline. But the $1.4 million it would cost to do vital repairs and ongoing upkeep costs just can’t be justified in light of the university’s budget woes.
Weeks ago, ASMSU’s Student Assembly voted unanimously to pass a resolution to switch from burning 250,000 tons of dirty coal annually on campus to 100 percent renewable energy.
The e-communities, such as Facebook and Twitter, have played an integral role in the Egyptian revolution. During the last seven years these websites and others like them, along with the huge Egyptian blogosphere, have strengthened the opposition movement.
In his 2012 budget proposals, Gov. Rick Snyder wants to implement a minimum 15 percent budget cut for university funding. With a cut of more than $240 million to higher education, there only is one thing left to say: This is the last straw.
I take issue with the editorial “Bridge Card changes necessary, a touch too broad (SN 2/14).” Although I understand it is an editorial piece, it appears the author wrote this piece in a slapdash and careless manner.
Summer 2010 was an ugly one for Europe. International markets halted in the wake of a sovereign debt crisis. European countries, once thought to be the example of generous welfare state, seemed to be as fiscally unfounded as those in the third world.
Labels are an unavoidable part of life. Tall or short, blonde or brunette, big or small, and so on. But, what happens when numbers become our labels?
After finals this year, many of my friends will graduate into the real world. My prospective reality a couple of years from now brings about a shaking quality I never have experienced — the irresolute possibility of having no job opportunities available.
The military junta that’s replaced ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced that it intends to maintain Egypt’s peaceful relationship with Israel. Egypt is one of two Arab states that officially recognize Israel.
Although MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon’s State of the University YouTube videos won’t go viral, they’re worth a look for all types of Spartans.
In the wake of the Egyptian revolution, the role of social media is the topic on everyone’s tongues. Protesters used Facebook and Twitter to broadcast their message and garner support for their cause.
The rehashing of a statewide ban of K2 and other cannabislike substances is more ridiculous this time around with an added ban on products marketed as bath salts. This ban, which is expected to pass with flying colors, is a “redo” of the ban accidently undone at the end of last year.
