Troubled testing

It's been said a million times: One test cannot accurately determine a person's true ability to succeed at the collegiate level.

COMMENTARY

Fire department cuts jeopardize city

I love living in East Lansing. I love working and raising my children in East Lansing. I love being a graduate of MSU, but I hate what is being done to the fire department in East Lansing, of which I am a proud member.

COMMENTARY

Common sense

Those green and white stickers in the dorm room which read "lock your doors" are there for a reason, but it looks like some people are not heeding the advice. MSU police reported 220 thefts during the first eight months of the year, a jump from 170 during the same time in 2002.

COMMENTARY

Stripper story shouldn't be in SN

We are students at MSU who enjoy reading The State News on a daily basis. However, on Monday our joy quickly turned into anger upon looking at the article "Stripped Down" (SN 9/8). Some students may enjoy reading an article about a stripper, but to display a full page devoted to explicit pictures is a disgrace to the university.

COMMENTARY

Abbas suggestion warrants two jokes

John O'Connor's recent column on the Palestinian conflict, "Road map politics further violence," (SN 9/5) ended with a cute comment suggesting that if Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas can't control extremists on his side, perhaps Israeli military action can do a better job. It reminds me of two jokes.

COMMENTARY

School options not open to everyone

I could not believe my eyes when I read journalism freshman Jennifer Passage's comment in response to the NAACP's racism complaint, "Students' reactions vary on NAACP racism complaint" (SN 9/8). I, for one, believe that the complaint is valid.

COMMENTARY

Hazardous hazing

The recent women's soccer player hazing incident is just another example of a pointless tradition that needs to be stopped.

Stop sharing

Your e-mail is down. You can't check your test score on ANGEL. There's a constant threat of a new virus infecting your hard drive.
