As the Republican revelry came to a close at the 2004 Republican National Convention last week, the GOP's message was crystal clear: Pay no attention to the man behind the star-spangled curtain.
To those local residents upset over student sentiment such as "Unwelcome" (SN 9/1), I must ask: What did you expect?
I'm writing in regards to the column "Rappers go too far with energy drinks" (SN 9/1). I became appalled as I read this article.
I urge my colleagues across campus to attend the open faculty meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday in 117 Berkey Hall.
The important thing to remember about this year's state budget is that the most relevant part for MSU students hasn't yet been decided. It's hard to tell what the governor and state Legislature are thinking at times when they champion the importance of education and then tinker with funding to state universities such as MSU. In February, state officials promised to maintain funding to public universities as long as schools kept their tuition rates at or below the inflation rate.
Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention, Vice President Dick Cheney aggressively ridiculed Sen.
With the first football game of the season ending in an antagonizing manner, remember that there is plenty more to look forward to. If you saw the game against Rutgers on Saturday afternoon, you already know there were mistakes all over the field by the Spartans.
"More than any other single person, Ralph Nader is responsible for the existence of automobiles that have seat belts, padded dashboards, air bags, non-impaling steering columns, and gas tanks that don't readily explode when the car gets rear-ended," writes Hendrik Hertzberg in "Reckless Driver," a comment piece from The New Yorker.
According to Wednesday night's "inspiring" speech at the Republican National Convention, Vice President Dick Cheney officially has replaced his campaign oration from truth-twisting rhetoric to full-on, lying liar.
This year, I return to MSU a little older, a little wiser. That's right, I'm a sophomore. I went through the trials and tribulations of freshman year to get to this glorified position today.
Academic dishonesty in any shape or form is in all ways - morally, ethically or socially - wrong. Any justification notwithstanding, it's an act comparable to stealing grades away from every student around you in a class. And standing by while cheating happens around you is just as insulting to your intelligence as it is for the rest of your peers. Recently, MSU forum Web site allmsu.com has been shoved into the limelight because a few individuals among us chose to utilize it in the name of academic dishonesty.
The sexual assault charges brought against Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant were dismissed Wednesday afternoon, but left in their wake a larger issue - how rape and rape victims should be treated. Bryant is one of the most famous defendants in a rape trial in years.
In the opinion titled "Out of Bounds" (SN 8/31), you took the Michigan Board of State Canvassers to task for rejecting language used on the petition to ratify the Michigan Marriage Amendment.
Your editorial, "Unwelcome" (SN 9/1), makes a number of rather astonishing comments - astonishing at least to one who is a permanent resident who has gone out of his way to help make students welcome and been rewarded with trash in his yard.
First off, I am not a Democrat. I am not a Republican, nor a hippie, nor white. I've never voted before, and for that reason I take this first time very seriously. I know I'm only one of the millions in America.
What a lot of the student population doesn't realize is that the city is composed of more than just them.
The decision to limit a presidential search to six weeks and to one campus did nothing short of enrage some faculty and students.
The Michigan Board of State Canvassers had no right to block the Michigan Marriage Amendment from appearing on the ballot.
With the race for the next president well on its way, there's a local void within the Republican Party. Three days into the Republican National Convention, there has not been a local representative from Michigan on the front line of the GOP to answer to the media or to enhance the awareness that Michigan is a key state in President Bush's bid for re-election. With Michigan a swing state, it is in the best interest of the Republican Party to feature a spokesperson from Michigan to address the RNC this week in New York City. Republicans have control of both of Michigan's legislative chambers, the attorney general's office, the secretary of state's office and a majority of Michigan's 15 U.S.
Walking up at least three flights of stairs, I found myself blanketed by men and women, their complexions different shades of brown, almond, cocoa and tan.
