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.

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.

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

COMMENTARY

COMMENTARY

COMMENTARY

SN needs columns not afraid to offend

I was actually just thinking about writing in a few days ago in support of publishing John Bice's opinion columns, but I guess someone beat me to the punch. I don't think that The State News calls upon Bice often enough.

COMMENTARY

Moore again?

Filmmaker Michael Moore has announced plans to create a sequel to "Fahrenheit 9/11." While Moore's films can entertain, the probability runs high that he'll editorialize and bend the truth to his whim.

#&@! the FCC

If American history is too grisly for you, please turn the page and continue reading. For those hardy souls who stayed put, congratulate yourselves for not living in fear of the Federal Communications Commission, better known as the FCC, better known to us as a public enemy. ABC affiliates in at least eight states have decided not to run an unedited version of "Saving Private Ryan," Steven Spielberg's triumphant 1998 World War II picture, because it contains violent, grisly and graphic images.
