It was a breath of fresh air to see interesting campus history being reported in The State News in "Along for the ride," (SN 6/8). We've all had quite enough of Paris Hilton - although the judge sending her back to jail is nothing short of hilarious and fitting. Let's make this a trend.
I hurt for John Bice after reading his column "Not so good God," (SN 6/6). He is a man who thinks he has proved millions of Christians wrong.
I'm not sure how I'm going to do it. As excited as I am to graduate from MSU, the changes required - namely real world careers and responsibilities - make me want to hunker down and earn another degree.
I am very impressed with Eli Broad's generous gift to the university, and I look forward to visiting the new art museum when it is finished.
There was discrimination against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community since before Michigan voters passed Proposal 2 in 2004.
I always like reading John Bice's criticisms of Christianity, such as "Not so good God," (SN 6/6). On one hand, he is calling those faith-believers to come out of their child-like understanding of what is good to a more complete understanding.
The day I have children I will be ready to surrender any selfishness, impatience and pettiness I have in order to provide for and love them to the best of my ability.
Once again, the American public is made aware of what seems to be ongoing corruption taking place in Washington. This time, the attention is focused on Rep.
I realize construction on campus is a necessary evil, and realize the summer incurs the least amount of traffic and, therefore, is the best time to revamp the area.
In his column titled "Perceived rights," (SN 6/1), Craig Gunn makes a statement so far from the core issue of requiring identification for voting.
It may begin by seeping into the soil. Then, surrounding areas will become contaminated. Soon, there may be nothing people can do to avoid it. The issue here is leakage from gas stations. Recently, eight gas stations in Michigan were fined a total of $869,150 for failing to submit reports of their contamination from underground gas leaks.
In a letter last month, "Columnist's views on limbo repeal incorrect," (SN 5/18), a reader offered an intriguing claim about the Christian deity, asserting "in modern times we Christians have come to understand God as all-loving." This fashionable article of faith, embraced by many Bible-centric Christians, is one of the more astonishing beliefs in modern religion.
Have you ever been in one of those destructive long-term relationships that, at some point, you really just needed to end? I'm not referring to my marriage to my lovely wife of 23 years, but to my 25-year relationship with the Republican Party.
Caitlin Kelly's attack on the Food and Drug Administration's ban on gay male blood donations as "ridiculous and unjust" in "FDA's ban on gay male blood donations unjust" (SN 6/4), is nothing more than a default response based on her disapproval of the Bush administration, rather than a true appreciation of the underlying policy considerations of the ban. Does any reasonable person think for a moment the FDA's decision to not accept blood based on sexual orientation is a pretext for some antigay agenda?
The 2008 presidential election is the first "open seat" contest for the presidency since 1952, meaning it will feature neither an incumbent president nor an incumbent vice president as a candidate.
Every time I read articles about the greek system, I find them to be strangely absurd. People outside the greek system - often people who champion anti-discrimination - tend to broadly criticize small aspects of the community.
When thinking of East Lansing, the immediate perception might be one of drinking and partying, and not art and culture. Perhaps these preconceived notions soon will take a different turn. Announced Friday, alumnus Eli Broad and his wife, Edythe, donated $26 million to MSU for a new art museum.
For a long time, Michigan residents have complained about the economic catastrophe our state has been in. Residents have seen numerous cuts to school and arts funding, rising taxes and several other proposals to ease the state's financial burden. Now, these economic burdens are finally over.
In the article "Mich. colleges, universities face more state budget cuts" (SN 5/30), 26 sentences were all that the reporter felt were necessary to explain the intricate details of why and how Gov.
Recently, I sat around a bonfire with my closest friends from high school. A late night dimly lit by a fire is a tradition we have participated in throughout childhood. My warm nostalgia ended when our conversation turned political.
