I want to comment on the things I have been hearing about going on with the Izzone. I was an Izzone member in the lower bowl from 1998-2002, and I remember it as being one of the parts of my life on the MSU campus. I am greatly disappointed to read about the way the Izzone is being run now with the new rules.
Hold your breath. If the events of the last few days are a prelude to what is coming, Sunday's election in Iraq could be violent and disastrous. Just days before Iraqis are set to cast their ballots and voice their opinions, the U.S.
I am writing in response to Ms. Laura McIntosh ("Reader responds to arguments on rock" SN 1/26) and to attempt to put this logically.
Last week in one of my 400-level journalism courses, the professor brought up the topic of the Asian race.
I'm a graduate student here at MSU. I have plenty going on in my life. However your editorial on global warming caught my attention ("Global warning" SN 1/25). This is the second article I've read about the Kyoto Protocol in The State News. I'm outraged that the United States refuses to be a part of this policy.
Living off campus is expected to bring about more responsibilities - from cooking and cleaning to dealing with landlords and paying monthly rent.
Joe Quillin's letter titled "Bush's speech had 'hopeful' message," (SN 1/25) implied that the invasion of Iraq sends a message of hope for the world.
In reply to the letter "Izzone members should accept rules" (SN 1/26), I would like to make an obvious truth known.
On Wednesday, I was woken up earlier than I wanted because someone was screaming in the courtyard of Case, Wilson and Wonders halls.
Buying dietary supplements over the counter might get more complicated in the future. Earlier this month, the Institute of Medicine called for tougher regulations in regards to dietary supplements. Because supplements can be sold unless they are proven to be harmful, there is a possibility of an adverse effect unknown to the willing pill-taker. Advertisements for some of these supplements make it appear that taking them is safe and can, in some cases, work miracles.
Dear State News Opinion Page writers, It appears like you are still a little bitter about your guy (John Kerry) losing the election.
At the near zenith of "Beatlemania," John Lennon is famously remembered for giving an interview that implied his Beatles to be more popular than Jesus Christ.
Chances are you've had to hash it out working at a fast food restaurant, as a server, or delivering pizzas at some point in your life (if you aren't doing so currently, that is). At the time, the minimum, or near-minimum, wage you were probably earning might have seemed adequate to your needs - a weekend at the movies, buying a new CD, whatever.
I have been a season ticket holder for MSU basketball for 27 years and have watched the evolution of the Izzone from a fanatic group of supporters to what it is now. When the Izzone first appeared, it was spontaneous, boisterous, exuberant, frenetic, LOUD and timely.
In response to the studies presented this week on the positive effects of the tailgating restrictions ("Tailgate trash" SN 1/25), I fear there may be negative effects that are not being studied.
I am so tired of half-hearted MSU fans whining about the Izzone. The issue of the moment is the official T-shirts the Izzone has always required its members to wear.
It's just not the same. Walking around campus on the morning of a game day, there is now an air of relative calm.
I am writing in response to both Benjamin Greathouse ("Message on rock made good point" SN 1/24) and Serena Bearman ("Reader takes issue with rock message" SN 1/20). Firstly, Mr. Greathouse made an excellent point on the issue of abortion.
In reply to the letter "Reader takes issue with rock message," (SN 1/20) I am appalled that an individual could be so closed minded.
The Graduate Employees Union has been known for protesting in creative ways. From marching around campus beating buckets like drums and carrying picket signs, to marching to past former President M.
