I am referring to your opinion "Buyer beware" (SN 10/10). I disagree with the logic that says applying the same criteria for everyone would find fault in many people and businesses. My Buddhist mind would ask you to evaluate those people's and businesses' motives before you judge that they're of the same kind.
As an alumnus of State, I try to catch as many football games as I can. It tends to be a bit hard in Brooklyn, since they only end up on the tube when they're playing a team ABC deems worthy of airing. Sadly, the two times this year I've been able to see my Spartans play ball have been heart wrenching losses that easily could have been victories.
In response to "Few people showed for police-student forum" (SN 10/13), this is hardly surprising.
With all the pressures college students have, the government reading their e-mail shouldn't be one of them. A new proposal by the federal government is attempting to make hundreds of institutions across the nation — universities, cities and online communication companies — modify their networks to make them more accessible for surveillance purposes by spring of 2007. Institutions are being forced to make these modifications and will have to pay for it.
I was appalled at the juvenile way in which the two reporters presented a local Armenian restaurant in "Reporters tackle Armenian eatery" (SN 9/23). The headline alone makes one think that the reporters started out with a confrontational attitude even before they reached the House of Kabobs restaurant.
Why is our team notorious for snatching defeats out of victories? How many more losses are we going to endure when we actually outplay the opponent?
Sometimes the best thing to do with a little extra cash is spend it rather than give it back. MSU received $1.6 million in additional appropriations from the state Legislature beyond what they expected.
Students don't operate on the same schedule as everyone else. With everything students do in a day, they don't always have time to schedule everything around meals. And now, the university is trying to help out. Bruce Haskell, coordinator of Food Services, proposed a plan on Wednesday that will extend all cafeteria hours from 7 a.m.
I am so glad to see that the East Lansing City Council and Police Department want to review and amend the noise violation policy to involve drinking games.
Fear. I sense the fear and feel it as well. I fear that blind partisan politics will cripple our great nation.
Approaching winter and cold weather is likely to reduce the heat on the noise complaints in Lansing.
This letter is just a thought I had about junior kicker John Goss' comments in "Missed chances" (SN 10/17). Goss said, "When they say 'field goal' I just run out there and do my job — I don't even think about what's going on.
I am writing in regard to Daniel Piedra's letter, "Left, right have a lot invested with Miers" (SN 10/19), supporting the nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S.
Unsubstantiated belief, also known as "religious faith," can produce unwelcome consequences.
In response to the Drew Robert Winter's column "Branding of creationism as a science shouldn't let it in schools" (SN 10/04) the first thing that comes to mind is "wow." Those are some bold and uneducated remarks about creationism saying it's a theory, not science. What is science then?
Thanks for running the article "Stemming cures" (SN 10/18) about a new, less-objectionable form of embryonic stem cell research.
Last weekend's "Midnight Madness" was a disappointment. Not because I feel the basketball team is going to be a bust or that Tom Izzo is incompetent, but rather the whole thing seemed to have been highjacked by the United Service Organizations. Instead of being an event to kick off MSU basketball, it seemed to be more about celebrating and supporting a military action. As a student at MSU and a citizen of the United States, I do not believe a publicly funded university should so openly and publicly support military action. A university's function is to educate students so that they can think critically and come to their own conclusions, not be a cheerleader one way or the other. In the future, I hope MSU plans events that celebrate MSU and stay away from political commentary. Bruce Nanasy plant biology senior
If I have learned anything from being in a fraternity, it is that image is the most important thing when recruiting season comes along.
I am amazed at the number of students who have written into the State News in anger about police Capt.
I'm writing in response to Mike Ramsey's editorial cartoon with the text, "You've got a great career in politics ahead of ya, kid!" (SN 10/14) directed at ASMSU. For those of us who have had to take a math class in our time here at MSU, I just wanted to let you know that $500 more dollars that ASMSU spent on their retreat this year, divided by approximately 45,000 students who pay ASMSU taxes equals about 1 cent per person.
