Since becoming head coach in 1995, Tom Izzo has recruited and coached 11 McDonald’s High School All-Americans.
When assigned this column, I was troubled on what would be the best thing to focus on when addressing Tom Izzo. The subject could range anywhere from his great achievements on the court to what he’s done for this university to even what he’s done for this whole state of Michigan in general. The possibilities were endless and I was somewhat overwhelmed. I mean, we are talking about a man who has achieved so much here at MSU and across the state during the past 20 years.
Friday marks the 20th year that head basketball coach Tom Izzo has been at MSU, and since then his impact on the team — and the university’s students — has only continued to grow in strength. The students of MSU see Izzo as a role model during basketball games and even long after the last shot has been made from the court.
When it comes to human rights, you're either all in, or you're out. And when it comes to sweatshop labor, it's a reminder MSU desperately needs. Last year, a national campaign for the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh was written to hold brands with factories in Bangladesh legally responsible for the safety and well-being of their employees.
I am a male, and I was sexually assaulted. It took me a long time to say those words. It happened this summer, and I can hardly remember it, but it is something I cannot forget.
I’m not sure how to convey the emotion I felt when I was told that I had had sex the previous night. No words could describe the confusion I felt, the disbelief, the deep feeling of shock that set in right after I heard the news, or the countless feelings that barraged and overwhelmed me. "Helpless" is the best word I can think of that sums up the feeling of being taken advantage of by a boy while I was knocked out and completely unaware of what was going on; while I was beyond the point of giving consent and beyond the point of saying no. I spent nights wide awake, trying to decide if this was my fault, because at first I believed that it was.
By Jesus Arzola-Vega vegajesu@msu.edu Now that November has arrived, I feel like being called a "senior," and all of the realities that come with that word, have finally sank in. These past four years have been wonderfully tumultuous, to say the least.
Feminism. It’s a word a lot of people are afraid of. A word people don’t understand the true meaning of. In fact, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the true definition of feminism is "the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities." I consider myself a feminist, and because of this, I have been told to “burn my bras” and “stop shaving my legs.” The reason I identify as a feminist is because I believe women should have the same rights and opportunities as men and vice-versa.
The MSU Sexual Assault Program is in need of more funding to hire more licensed counselors. While much of the program’s work can be done by volunteers, we are trained only in crisis intervention.
By Kayman Whaley kwhaley@statenews.com I can’t describe how infuriating it is to see a leftover, messy and used tray left on a table in the cafeteria.
By Geoff Preston gpreston@statenews.com Walking home alone at night after a few drinks is never a good idea, man or woman.
In my hometown, it wasn’t uncommon to see a man with his eyebrows trimmed.
ASMSU started taking steps to form a partnership with the nationwide “It’s On Us” campaign earlier this month.
B efore American mainstream media outlets move on to whatever the next piece of news they can create more hysteria with, I have something to say about their fear-mongering coverage of the Ebola epidemic.
As most students complain about how much homework they’ve been assigned for a week, others are carrying the weight of the memories that many people could not fathom.
I really wasn’t that nervous for my first day of high school. In my eyes, that whole idea of being “the new kid” was thrown out the window, because at that point every single person in the freshman class was considered new. I thought coming into college was going to be different.
Comparable to how alcohol gives people liquid courage, anonymity can allow people to express what’s really on their mind. Yik Yak is an anonymous social media app that is available for iPhone and Android users.
Several days ago In New Delhi, India, 36-year-old Vinod Kumar tortured and killed a 45-year-old man whom Kumar believed had raped his 14-year-old daughter two months previously.
Let's talk about sex. It's the underlying theme of today's paper — trends in sexual behavior of college students.
