Who would have guessed that a Spartan, a Wolverine, a Bronco and a Chippewa would be four of the several representatives sitting down to talk about overpriced college degrees.
It was an honor for me, an East Lansing native and MSU graduate, to have worked with Illinois Gov. George Ryan and his Commission on Capital Punishment over the past three years.
I debated on whether to send in a letter expressing my disappointment at the way the MSU police department handled the entering of students at the Nov.
The Opinion Page is ridiculous. As a student and regular reader of The State News, I am always disappointed when I read the Opinion Page.
As a Department of Police and Public Safety employee working security at the MSU-University of Michigan game, I find Valerie Fournier's letter "'U', police should communicate more" personally offensive and full of false statements. First, to "someone who has been to every home football game for the past three years," Fournier — and other Spartan football veterans — should know better than to bring prohibited items into the stadium (which includes larger purses). Not only is it posted on homefootball.msu.edu, outside the stadium and broadcast on local TV, there also were security personnel warning patrons before they got to the gates.
In "Right to abort between woman, doctor not her legislators", Preeti Prasad claimed that through a partial-birth abortion ban, women are losing their right to "dignity." I wonder, however, where the dignity of the unborn child is in this matter? Merely because the child, or fetus, if you must, is growing in his or her mother's womb, does that mean that the child becomes a choice?
While the words "Superconducting Cyclotron" and "Rare Isotope Accelerator" might sound like characters from a blockbuster science-fiction flick, they actually apply to a real possibility here at MSU. The U.S.
Left campus is further illuminated every day when people pick up a copy of The State News. A staff of more than 150 hard workers turns out leftist stories daily, serving their contingency well.
I've lived in this area all my life. I'm from Haslett, I went to MSU and graduated this year on the super-extended program.
On Veterans Day a year ago, the thought of beginning a war with Iraq was on the mind of many Americans.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas — already? This weekend, I had the good fortune of receiving a long-awaited paycheck.
For someone who made bringing dignity back to the White House a central issue to his campaign, President Bush has failed miserably on a number of fronts.Dignity is the state of being worthy.
A great rivalry makes for intense feelings. When MSU meets the University of Michigan in a competitive game, we expect emotions to run high.
Grand River Avenue is the epitome of "cool." This street is known to East Lansing residents for its unique shopping, diverse restaurants and cultural opportunities.
With current economic conditions leaving just about every expenditure on the chopping block, it is not difficult to fathom our leaders going so far as to raise the ax over a basic American right such as voting.
Shame on The State News. While, for the most part, The State News presents MSU students with quality, even-handed stories, I cannot fathom what on earth could have possessed it to run the story about the Russian bride Web site ("Foreign relations" SN 11/6). In what is becoming an all- too-common practice, men from first-world countries are using their financial power to buy impoverished women from the former Soviet states.
I am writing in response to the photo story "Super fans" (SN 11/7). Fortunately, this photo spread highlights an issue that I had been pondering how to bring to the attention of the institution, student body and alumni. The pride that so many students and alumni attach to MSU being a party school only further denigrates the academic credibility of our school.
This being my second year in the dorms, I have had a lot of experience with the way things are run and how different situations are handled by the so-called authority figures. The purpose of my letter is to bring attention to the lack of authority in our resident advisers because of inadequate training and preparation.
Like many Spartan fans, I was disappointed by the outcome of the game on Nov. 1. But it's not the fault of anyone on this campus.
