While reading "Green expectations" (SN 9/27), I was saddened and annoyed to see that the 2020 Vision Plan included the possible removal of Shaw Lane.
As if we needed yet another reason that Bill O'Reilly needs to keep his mouth shut. When Jon Stewart, host of the "The Daily Show," appeared on the Sept.
I have been tailgating for years. I actually look forward to tailgate season and waking up at 3 a.m.
One of the most powerful images from the Persian Gulf War was a candid shot of Sgt. Ken Kozakiewicz sitting in a helicopter.
The State News should have gotten their facts straight prior to printing bogus information in the article "Candidates spar over Great Lakes, environment" (SN 9/29). Key words - requested, proposed, opposes - in Bush's environmental action plan as stated in The State News all sound like he's actually doing something positive for the environment.
President Bush and Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry do not like to look stupid. The candidates' campaigns wanted to secure their insecurity at the debates by not allowing certain camera shots and angles, and asked the networks to abide.
America has disintegrated into a nation of pimps, emotional invalids and pedophiles all because of one marvelous invention - instant messaging.
Editor's note: Beginning today, The State News editorial board will address key issues of the presidential campaign every Wednesday edition.
After successfully struggling to stay awake throughout history class, I was waiting at the bus stop with four female students from the same course.
Combining the currently scattered integrative studies centers is an excellent idea, but it must be done correctly.
The Association of Michigan Universities sent the right message to lawmakers when they unanimously passed a bill that opposes a draft, or selective service act, for students.
In the future, MSU could be a very different place. According to the university's 2020 Vision plan for MSU's near future, there might be a near absence of student cars on campus, green space that would abound and parking police thankfully out of work ticketing student cars. These goals - to be initiated by 2020 - will most likely not be seen, even by MSU's youngest students.
I am heartened to learn of significant new voter registration of young people in Michigan. As you realize, and by all predictions, youth will have an unusually important role in the upcoming election. As an MSU alumnus (Landscape Architecture, 1962), I wish to do my part to encourage you, the MSU student body and the staff, to expand the registration momentum with at least three personal actions. Become activists now for concerted peer voter registration not only on the MSU campus but for all students. Actually vote in November and thereafter. Exercise your democracy.
After reading the article "Rap culture influences women, society" (SN 9/22), I became a little upset to see that this problem is still being attributed to rap music.
I believe there is a God, and I bet he's disappointed. Do you know what the "culture war" is?
I am responding to a few articles and letters about changes being made to tailgating on game days. I seem to be one of the ever-declining few that make it a point here at MSU to not partake in under-age drinking.
As I read "Wrong address" (SN 9/22), I found myself wondering: Was this the same address that I watched?
From the editorial "Moore, please" (SN 9/24), "There were a great number of Democrats and undecided voters who would have liked to hear what the Bush daughters had to say when they were on campus, but it was a Republicans-only event.
It's easy to vote. But for college students, it could be easier. Unless the numbers outside your front door are identical to the address on your driver's license, you're the victim of a voting obstacle. A raw perspective on civic duty would tell us to vote where we live and live where we vote.
True conservatism is an eclectic philosophy, spanning years of thoughts and works of infinite geniuses and handed down through countless generations in an effort to preserve established truths. But what are these truths?
