This letter is in response to one from Bryan Dahl, whose letter "SN cartoon shocking, ignorant of the truth" (SN 9/19) struck a chord with me. In his letter, Mr. Dahl implied that a cartoon published in The State News was in poor taste.
I had a chance to read your article about the shooting that occurred at MSU over the weekend. While the article was objective in its reporting, the use of the city of Detroit is what I question.
To MSU students, fans and especially athletes: Let's show some class. There is nothing better than traveling hours in the car to watch your team win.
This is in response to Diane Cavicchioli's "Football fans should stay classy for kids" (SN 9/16). She seems to forget that at sporting events there are always curses and partly drunk, rowdy fan sections. I remember going to a State game when I was 12 and seeing an inflatable penis being batted around the student section and laughing hysterically.
This is in regards to the article "Local bars scrutinize out-of-state IDs" (SN 9/16). As an undergraduate, I came to MSU from Iowa and I kept my residency and driver's license in Iowa.
The East Lansing City Council shouldn't burn local business when it comes to changing the smoking ordinances that govern the city. A proposed amendment to the council seeks to make local business owners have to keep a nonsmoking section open at all times within their establishment.
There have been numerous studies done on the magnetic fuel conditioners that you describe in your article "MSU student sets up gas-saving business" (SN 9/15) the results are all the same - hogwash. The most recent article I read was in Popular Mechanics about two months ago.
Like The State News Sports Editor Chris Barsotti, I came to MSU as a life-long Notre Dame fan. My first year here was in 1966, and like Chris, I grew into a Spartan fan, watching the Spartans win their home football games as I followed Notre Dame's victories through the media. By the end of the season I had become a Spartan fan, but I still loved Notre Dame.
Trust is a key component in a functioning society. It's the glue that holds a civilization together.
It's summer and I'm enjoying the heat as any person would. After looking in my closet, I decide to wear some jeans and one of my tank tops.
I'm writing in response to police Chief Tom Wibert's column, "Police chief: Is wild partying worth it?" (SN 9/13) I'm pleased to see him writing to The State News as a way to get his point across to students.
After reading the different police briefs over the past couple weeks and seeing that multiple students have had money stolen due to some scams - not to be rude - but it serves you right.
I feel compelled to respond to Bryan Dahl's letter to the editor ("SN cartoon shocking, ignorant of the truth" SN 9/12). It is a shining beacon of pure ignorance.
Instead of a campus full of party animals Saturday, MSU had a few more stuffed animals. Saturday afternoon the University Activities Board held it's first annual Lil' Sibs Saturday.
I've never been one to surround myself with drugs or alcohol, and I doubt I ever will be. As a freshman, I had preconceived notions of "college life" in terms of drinking and drugs, but I found myself a little ignorant when I saw the reality. All of the stereotypes portrayed in movies and the media about college partying appear to be true, or at least not far from it. About two days after I arrived here, the pressure was on.
I was at a loss after reading Bryan Dahl's letter, "SN cartoon shocking, ignorant of the truth" (SN 9/19). His letter expressed outrage at the "astounding demonstration of ignorance" exhibited by Mike Ramsey's cartoon on Sept.
Legislation to control gas prices in Michigan is a nice idea, but it won't help anything after the hurricane damage to refineries is fixed. The Michigan-based group People Against Uncontrolled Motor Vehicle Fuel Pricing - or PUMP - is rallying for a price restriction measure on the 2006 ballot, which would limit price increases to Mondays.
As a board member of the Hillel Jewish Student Center, I have watched with great pride as our students have participated in trips to Israel in our birthright Israel program.
I would like to first take a minute to congratulate the MSU football team for their great game last Saturday here in South Bend, Ind.
East Lansing city officials and ASMSU members met on Wednesday for dinner to converse about local issues and to improve relations.
