Did you hear? Iraq didn't actually possess any weapons of mass destruction. Given the amount of attention the media has given the subject, we sincerely hope that you have. In the same month that the first bombs fell on Iraq, a report surveying the country found there were no WMDs. After the discovery in March 2003, the first preliminary report from Charles A.
To the young men of Phi Beta Sigma: You guys really make me sick. You should be hanging your heads right now.
After reading your praise of the recently passed Pregnant and Parenting Students bill ("Right to know" SN 1/12), I am somewhat pleased (for once) with your opinion - mark the calendars!
I would like to respond to Chris Rinard's ridiculous take on the admissions process to the Business College ("Admissions process overly selective," SN 1/11). The arguments in this article are laughable, and I am appalled that a student at MSU could be so naive as to make statements of this nature.
Do you believe in things that haven't been proven? I hope the answer to this question is a resounding yes.
It's that time of year when we honor Martin Luther King Jr. It makes me sick, so this year for a change I decided to voice my disgust of the man.
The Whole World is One Family. That was the theme on Wednesday evening when MSU students, international student leaders and nine local religious leaders gathered outside the Wharton Center, holding candles to remember the lives lost in Tsunami in Southeast Asia.
In response to the State News' request that the United States help the conflict in Sudan, "Peace at last?" (SN 1/11), it appears evident that the State News editorial board is made up of journalism majors, not history majors. How exactly will the United States help Sudan?
Normally I don't do this, but it has to be said. The only thing asinine about Matt Bishop's Mehmet Okur article was the article.
Different flavors of cigarettes hitting the shelves have a lot of people talking. Recently, Michigan Department of Community Health Director Janet Olszewski and Surgeon General Kimberlydawn Wisdom sent a letter to R.
I read in Tuesday's edition of The State News that a student lost her passport in Peru during a Study Abroad trip and could not return home with every other person in the MSU group as scheduled ("Study abroad student left behind" SN 1/11). The story included details about her accommodation being taken care of and an alumni family taking her under their wing to help out. That story must have been false because in Wednesday's paper the same reporter, Margaret Harding, reported that the student was left alone, without money or a place to stay, and could rely only on herself ("Stranded student returns" SN 1/12). Or perhaps that story, too, is inaccurate. "The student's passport was lost or stolen the day they planned to leave, and she had to stay behind," Harding wrote in the earlier edition.
Cost of traveling to Peru on study abroad: $2,262 Cost of the passport application fee: $85 Leaving a student behind, terrified, without money and a place to stay: heartless. MSU's Study Abroad program to Peru did just that to Julie Crane.
For some of us, last semester was a far cry from the academic milestone it could have been. But hey, we studied hard (sort of) and came to class (sometimes). What more can we do?
I am writing in response to Chris Rinard's letter "Admissions Process Overly Selective," (SN 1/11). The business school only has room for a certain number of students.
The SN editorial "Peace at last?" (SN 1/11), is a valuable, rare addition to discussion of the situation in Sudan in the American press.
Respect. Where is it? Apparently it wasn't at the rock on Farm Lane on Sunday around 4 p.m. While a group of MSU students held a vigil for Julie Koivisto - an MSU graduate accounting student killed in a car accident over winter break - their gathering was disrupted by members of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity. The fraternity paints the rock each year on Jan.
In response to Matt Bishop's column "Pistons hurting due to loss of Mehmet Okur" (SN 1/11), the only thing more asinine than Okur only playing "3.3 more minutes per game than he did during his rookie campaign" is the assertion that the Pistons are struggling because of the loss of a man relegated to mop-up duty during the championship season. With Okur playing a minuscule role in the Pistons' playoff march to the title, a point that Bishop asserts several times, how can the blame for this year's lackluster showing be blamed on Okur's absence?
It wasn't meant to happen, but it did. You are not quite sure what to do next. It's hard enough just to get over the shock and confusion.
The beat-up van bumbled over the cultivated soil as we drove away from the dairy farm toward the forest. My friend, John, parked near a thicket skirting the denser wood.
This letter is in response to the student writing "Retribution will not right past wrongs" (SN 1/11). Whether or not a rapist should be punished is by far one of the stupidest comments I have ever read.
