Founding fathers had God in mind

The key issue in regard to Roy Moore's Ten Commandments statue and the "Establishment Clause" is the authorial intent of the Constitution.

Money, not always qualifications, key to occupying Oval Office

Do you remember being in grade school and having the teacher ask the class what they wanted to be when they grew up?

COMMENTARY

Campus controversies taken too seriously

I feel that the students might not have made the correct choice in choosing the slogan for their T-shirts.

'U' shouldn't take things so seriously

I would like to say something to all those people who can't take a joke, or take things too far.

I would like to address the "solution" that Jan Pylar has so graciously proposed to the student body of MSU ("E.L.

COMMENTARY

Prejudice still alive in higher education

When, in the history of the entire world, did it become humorous to degrade other cultures?

COMMENTARY

Access for 'U'

Shel Silverstein once wrote, "Have you heard the story of tiny Melinda Mae, who ate a monstrous whale?" This line might come from a children's poem about a girl who took 89 years to eat a whale, but it easily could be correlated to the monstrous problem of disabled accessibility at MSU.

COMMENTARY

SN has no right to criticize T-shirts

I'm responding to the editorial "Terrible T-shirts." (SN 10/13), I'm curious as to when The State News decided it could dictate how the First Amendment should be interpreted?

COMMENTARY

Smokers choice does affect others

This is in response to the letter "Smokers don't need health lecture" (SN 10/10). While I agree that Craig Gunn might have been a bit extreme in calling smokers suicidal and murderers, I understand the point he was trying to make.

COMMENTARY

There's a drink to subdue every bad decision Bush makes

For some time now, I've been searching for an effective stress reliever to combat my disgust with the ineptitude, dishonesty, arrogance and radical agenda of the Bush administration.
