The recent State News editorial concerning the Supreme Court decision on the Pledge of Allegiance ("Flags Up," SN 6/15) is illogical at best and downright ignorant at worst.
On Friday, the MSU Board of Trustees limited an eight-month, nationwide search for MSU's next president to a five-week walk up one flight of stairs in the Administration Building.
I was disappointed to read "Study: College Students Lack Political Motivation (SN 6/15)." State Senator Valde Garcia of Howell said it best: Those who don't vote won't be heard.

I am writing this letter to send my sincerest condolences to the staff and family at Crunchy's.

We've all grown up hearing the same thing, stealing is bad. So why all the hullabaloo over nine MSU students who were caught in the act of pilfering something?
I'm tired. Tired of pretending that I do not overhear the ignorant comments of others around me.
The draft is always a very touchy subject, especially in an election year. Perhaps this is why the Bush administration has been very quiet about the Universal National Service Act of 2003.
Ah, here we are, page nine of The State News. Another beloved crossword puzzle. Oh dear, there appears to be too much newsprint to fit on my menial desk space.
It is a general expectation that when two parties make a deal, both groups will hold up their end of the bargain.
The State News must be hurting for letters if they're printing filler from Mary Haan and her conservative, reactionary group.
Driving down the narrow pathway to the spiritual retreat center, I knew this wouldn't be an ordinary day.
This letter is in response to Mary Haan's letter ("Sanctity of marriage must be protected" SN 6/10) regarding the sanctity of marriage.
