COMMENTARY
Sadly, women need self-defense skills
I am writing in response to Jim Hines ("Cure for sexual assault lies within prevention, not self defense" SN 1/24). I agree that rape is a problem that society as a whole needs to address and deal with.
COMMENTARY
Sparty (w)on
Some congratulations are in order for Sparty. For the second year in a row, the mascot reigns high and supreme above all other mascots in the nation after defending his title as number one mascot in the country at the College Mascot National Championship held in Orlando, Fla., on Jan.

Possible health problems not enough to curb excessive cellular use
So I lost my cell phone a couple weekends back. I had been out and about for most of that Saturday, and I returned home at some point early Sunday morning to discover that it wasn't in my jeans pockets.
COMMENTARY
Students' response to proposal mature
As an MSU alumna and a current staff person, I doubt I have been prouder of you, the MSU student population, than I have been this week.
COMMENTARY
Global warning
It seems as though some of the world's brightest minds are pleading before the United States one more time to change its policies on environmentally harmful gas emissions. An international climate change task force warned Monday that the planet's global warming is rapidly approaching a critical point.
COMMENTARY
Rock message had accurate content
In response to the article "Reader takes issue with rock message," (SN 1/20) abortion does kill.
COMMENTARY
Bush's speech had 'hopeful' message
First of all, I would like to point out that I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat when it comes to weighing in on political issues, but I do feel it necessary for me to write this concerning Bush's inaugural speech.
COMMENTARY
Editorial presented misleading facts
This letter is in response to the SN editorial "Right to Know," (SN 1/12). The article insinuated that emergency contraception is an abortion pill.
COMMENTARY
Reader shares bad Izzone experience
Like Matt McNulty, I too was barred from entering the Breslin Center for MSU against Purdue. My grave offense was that I was wearing last year's Izzone shirt instead of this year's shirt.
COMMENTARY
Message on rock made good point
I am writing in response to Serena Bearman ("Reader takes issue with rock message" SN 1/20). Ms. Bearman seems to be uncomfortable with a simple statement of fact.
COMMENTARY
Vote rocked
Stereotyped to be uninformed and uninterested in political issues, college students are not usually considered important to an election.
COMMENTARY
Cure for sexual assaults lies within prevention, not self defense
It's always nice to hear reactions and feedback to something you've written. I've received a number of e-mails about my columns on sexual violence.
COMMENTARY
Alcohol ban could have bad results
Everyone at this university knows that MSU President Lou Anna Simon and the MSU Board of Trustees have made up their minds, yet they still want public opinion and student response on whether to ban alcohol?
COMMENTARY
Izzone rules ruin fun spirit of game
I'm writing this in support of Matt McNulty ("New Izzone rules should be stopped" SN 1/20). The Izzone and its incompetent leaders need to make a change.
COMMENTARY
Terror talk
Osama bin Laden might be coming to a bookstore near you. At least his beliefs might. That's because "The Al Qaeda Reader," a book that contains translated interviews with bin Laden and some of his al-Qaida counterparts, is scheduled to be made available in English next year.
COMMENTARY
Faux fur should be consumers' choice
Kudos to Aaron Foley for knowing that faux is the way to go ("The real deal on faux fur" SN 1/19). Every consumer study released during the past few years has consistently shown that the average American abhors fur.
COMMENTARY
We want you
With intense competition in the college admission process, some universities are doing more than just sending out mass mailings of pamphlets inviting prospective students to enroll. Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., offered potential students a free weekend getaway to go skiing or snowboarding.
COMMENTARY
Rock should be a vehicle for opinion
What has become of people today? It absolutely amazes me that people can be so offended by the slightest things these days.
