Tibergien and Thieleman serve as a shining example to the lack of knowledge between those on both sides of the aisle. Shape up, America. Get informed or stay home.
Someone once told me to never tell yourself something you would not say to another person. Basically, “treat yourself the way you would want to be treated.” I do not believe many people would tell another person they are fat, so why would one say that to themselves?
The television does not determine our value as a society. There are plenty of trends and shifts in entertainment, and these do not represent societal changes.
The editorial “Moving beyond coal good idea, too costly” (SN 2/3) raises a very important point. We must consider the true cost of burning coal to Spartans and the state of Michigan. Moving away from coal is not only something that is good for the environment and public health, it’s something that we have to start doing right now for our pocketbooks as well.
A famous quote from author Nancy R. Smith has made its way around the world, allowing people to explore the gender roles that society has embedded into our everyday lifestyles and thoughts:
Promises aren’t made to be broken, and Gov. Jennifer Granholm apparently would like to make sure the Michigan Promise Scholarship doesn’t go down in history as one of her broken guarantees.
We would like to clarify some of the facts about the rules and guidelines regarding the 2010 U.S. Census that were inaccurately conveyed in your editorial Students should complete census thoughtfully (SN 2/4).
Like many other Michigan residents, I know or am related to a lot of people who are a part of the struggling automotive industry. So, like many other Michigan residents, I was excited when I heard that the two leading American automakers — Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. — had increased their sales in the month of January, compared to the same month a year earlier.
Like many MSU students, we forgot to do our homework yesterday. In yesterday’s editorial concerning the 2010 U.S. Census, Students should complete census thoughtfully (SN 2/4), we put forth an uninformed opinion based on faulty assumptions and information.
I guess it’s a good thing that Eric Thieleman is indifferent to torture, because getting through his most recent column was just that. It was so bloated with generic political invective I could have sworn that it was pieced together from crumpled up pieces of paper from Glenn Beck’s wastebasket.
As we near what easily could be considered the most polarizing of holidays, that which takes center stage in most of our minds does so with increasingly less clout. If romance is not lost, it is losing its way. If romance is not dead, it is slowly dying.
East Lansing is home to tens of thousands of MSU students, but is it really home? Although East Lansing Mayor Vic Loomis made an appearance at the rock on Farm Lane to encourage students to complete the 2010 U.S. Census as residents of East Lansing, it is in students’ best interest to thoroughly think through their answers.
George Clooney took a fall off the dock and into the saltwater and one thought ran through my mind as he dried off. What happened to his cell phone? His iPod? His Personal Digital Assistant?
MSU Beyond Coal, a student group that wants MSU to move away from using coal energy, has some very lofty goals for the university. Unfortunately, those goals also appear to be a bit too idealistic.
An open letter to the MSU Bakers responsible for the new granola being tested in numerous MSU cafeterias lately, most notably in Wilson and Case halls: I’ll begin by thanking you for your efforts in putting forth something new to our cafeterias.
My initial reaction when I was invited to the Facebook group JUST DON’T — No New Nike-influenced Spartan helmet and saw this new logo was disgust.
The political season has seemed continuous since the last election cycle as both parties have appeared to continue campaigning and have left the governing to nobody.
In an extremely uncharacteristic move, Gov. Jennifer Granholm actually is proposing real and radical steps to address Michigan’s staggering budget deficit.
As the Environmental Protection Agency works to strengthen the safe disposal of coal ash, Consumers Energy is working to build another coal plant here in Michigan.
America’s dependence on foreign oil hurts our economy, subsidizes hostile regimes overseas and puts our national security at risk. Rather than continuing to send billions overseas for Middle Eastern oil, new clean energy policies mean spending that money here at home on clean energy sources that will create new jobs, build new industries and make us more secure.
