On Oct.12, there appeared in the Lansing State Journal a huge advertisement that the United States Marine Band (the President's Band) would be appearing at Wharton Center for a concert on Nov.
As Lansing residents take to the polls Tuesday to choose a leader for Lansing, we hope they will consider voting for incumbent Mayor Tony Benavides.
The students who camped out with the Izzone two weekends ago were a well-mannered and good group. There were no incidents whatsoever.
Go green, go white or go home. Saturday's game is unlike any other Spartan-Wolverine matchup from the recent past.
I am part of the MSU community. I graduated from MSU, and I've chosen to make my home, raise my children and have my career here in East Lansing.
My downloaded Halloween screensaver politely informed me that today is Oct. 31. I quickly flashed back to the tacky costumes I adored making for Halloween during my childhood.
If students want to voice higher education concerns to politicians, it's now as simple as writing a letter.
It's not sexy or scandalous. Nor does it incite the political pundits to rant and cant and blow the political house asunder.
It's great that the Spartans have East Lansing excited about football again. John L. Smith's squad is leading the Big Ten with a mark of 4-0 (7-1 overall) - look out Michigan.
This is in response to the current influx of responses regarding the University of Michigan T-shirts.
In response to the rash of letters telling us to not to take jokes on T-shirts so seriously: It saddens me to realize how truly far our society is from ever achieving any modicum of equality.
On Saturday, MSU students need to remember that celebration does not involve destruction. Campus and city officials are encouraging fans not to rush the field when the game is over.
In "Spartans, U-M past sets 'U' as underdog" (SN 10/27), The State News laments that MSU has lost "16 of the 28 matchups on their home turf." But they fail to mention the far more puzzling (and optimistic) statistic that MSU has won every home game (except 1997) against U-M in the past ten years, despite being consistently ranked lower than U-M (sometimes significantly) at the time of each engagement.
What is wrong with people today? That is all that I can say in regard to some of the recent letters published by The State News.
If students are going to talk the talk, they also need to walk the walk. Although polls show great student interest in the 2004 election, it is only the actual votes that count in the end.
On Oct. 22, I had the privilege to attend the Tenth Annual Joseph (Jen-Hwa) Lee Memorial Lecture given at the Kellogg Center.
I've always been taught that the best way to solve a problem is to tackle it head on, not ignore it.
The "Politics 101" editorial (SN 10/27) just proves how liberal The State News really is.
For the past few months, there have been many discussions regarding the party-noise ordinance that was enacted in the city of East Lansing and the implications of its passage.
After claiming to be "sidestepped" by the city council, ASMSU officials are working to rectify the mistakes of the summer by proposing an amendment to the party-noise ordinance.
