Razzing road team fans part of sports

I would like to respond to University of Wisconsin-Madison student Shayna Hetzel's letter "Spartan fans gave poor 'U' portrayal," (SN 11/16). I have been to other stadiums wearing the opposite team's colors.

COMMENTARY

In the booth

How to best hire the board of administrators at a public university like MSU? Some say allowing the state's governor to appoint board members would infuse too many partisan politics with higher education, and that it would result in a partisan-stacked board room.

COMMENTARY

In cold blood?

What we do know is that an embedded NBC correspondent filmed a U.S. Marine shooting an Iraqi man in a Fallujah mosque.

COMMENTARY

Taking 'U' on

By deciding to spend nearly $7,000 to gauge student opinion of its representative government, ASMSU has made a smart move. To get the student feedback they need, the group will survey undergraduate students on how ASMSU could do a better job representing student interests.

COMMENTARY

Bice is right: Bush voters misinformed

In response to John Bice's column "Bush supporters share common thread with fundamentalists" (SN 11/10), thank you, thank you, thank you to The State News and Bice for printing such an intelligent and informed column. I appreciate the insight to answering the exact same question I have asked myself every day since Nov.

COMMENTARY

Coverage of greek system still biased

It took four years to get The State News to cover our philanthropy event, and after the way it was portrayed ("'Miss Greek' pageant held for charity," SN 11/11), I wish it would have been longer. The greek community at MSU must constantly face, and attempt to overcome, the negative images and stereotypes which we are given.

COMMENTARY

RIA is not MIA

As President Bush's cabinet members played another round of musical chairs Monday, a former Spartan found himself out of work.

COMMENTARY

'Known to all'

For two weeks, we received a good amount of letters suggesting that head football coach John L. Smith was running the program into the ground.

COMMENTARY

Early and often

Early voting and lowered restrictions on absentee ballots could be a good thing for Michigan, with the proper checks and balances in place. Michigan Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land recently announced plans to enact these exact measures in our state.
