With seven months left until the presidential election, the likability of Massachusetts senator John Kerry has finally expanded past whether a voter enjoys snowboarding or not. We kid.
It's funny that Democrats get angry when they're called tax-and-spend liberals. They have worked so hard to avoid being labeled that way, but their record shows otherwise.
Run. Run for your life. I'm not joking. Get outside and do it. Now. It doesn't matter where you go or how far you go, just as long as you're running. A simple run can be the solution to all of your problems: work, school, stress, whatever ails you.
For years, the debate on whether to have a student on the East Lansing City Council and student participation with the city of East Lansing has raged on in the same, tedious fashion.
One year after the riots, I want to explain what happened to my friend after being charged with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure.
How can we say this nicely? Stop it, Ben Burgis, stop while you're already ahead. Burgis is a Western Michigan University graduate student making a bid for a seat on the MSU Board of Trustees.
As a student at MSU, I would like to express my concern for the lack of healthy choices in the cafeterias around campus.
You're 10 years old and, judging by the orange juice, graham crackers and the cadet-blue test booklet placed on your school desk, you can tell it's MEAP day.
With the host of bills that our state legislature is considering I am distraught ("New state legislation looks to minimize distraction to drivers" SN 3/23). If we need a law preventing a woman from breast-feeding while driving 75 mph down the expressway, how could common sense still exist?
The fact that MSU is considering switching to block tuition has me nervous and angry. As a student who can barely afford college already, I now have more debt to look forward to when I graduate. Unfortunately, my parents could not afford to give all of their children a free ride through college, and I must work many hours a week to be able to afford my education. I doubt I could handle 18 credits and also work the hours that I need to work to stay in school.
I am writing this letter with the intention of clearing up broad misconceptions about registering to vote in East Lansing.
As one of the founding chairmen of the MSU College of Human Medicine, I am appalled by the intentions of President M.
This letter is in response to Patrick Walters' column ("Worthless crap great for 'U', even better for P.
I am writing in response to a letter to the editor by Kevin Greaney ("Bedroom behavior should remain there" SN 3/23). While I do agree that public displays of affection are oftentimes out of place and uncalled for, I do not think that the group(s) posting the bulletin boards across campus are doing so to disgust people.
The women's basketball team gave MSU hoops fans something to be proud of this season. Even though the Spartans returned home today with a second-round loss to Texas in the NCAA Tournament, they accomplished feats that have been matched by only a few prior teams. Members of the MSU women's basketball team should keep their chins held high.
When Richard Clarke speaks, it seems there is plenty to be wary of. Since a "60 Minutes" interview aired last Sunday and his tell-all book "Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror" hit shelves this week and attempted to discredit President Bush's war on terror, Clarke is either Public Enemy No.
This letter is in response to Evan Rondeau's concerns about people not working ("Work ethic replaced with longer lunch breaks, leaving early" SN 3/19). As far as his observations go, he is not in error.
The State News inaccurately reported the attendance of 200 participants in Saturday's peace rally at the Capitol ("200 protest on war anniversary" SN 3/22). In fact, there were 200 participants from the Detroit group Michigan Emergency Committee Against War in Iraq alone. I took part in the march and the rally and workshops that followed. There were more than 100 from the Greater Lansing Network Against War & Injustice participants (others traveled to a demonstration in Chicago), 200 demonstrators came from Detroit and about 150 Direct Action members organized an independent march that merged with the main march before arriving at the Capitol.
Be on the lookout for a new bestseller in local bookstores this month: "Virg Bernero and the Veil of Secrecy" by J.K.
Owen Weber ("LBGT bulletin boards offensive to some" SN 3/18) clearly has no understanding of what it means not to "have a problem with gay people," a claim he makes for himself.
