Feelings about the situation with Iraq are getting stronger and becoming increasingly more public. The recent protest at the Shell gas station in Frandor is just one example. In my hometown of Augusta, Mich., different people are reacting differently just as they are here in East Lansing. The voice for "no war" is a loud one wherever you go.
In this time of reduced appropriations and fear from wild rumors of tuition increasing 30 percent, some feel it's necessary to recommend tuition caps as a necessary tool to restrain tuition.
Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe isn't that much different from other dictators. He uses violence against members of his political opposition and those who try to run an independent media.
We fully agree that it is a terrible idea to go to war with Iraq for oil. Fortunately, this is not the case.
With regard to the "War fears fuel protest" (SN 3/13) article in Thursday's paper, I have a few things to say to these "protesters" with whom I've had plenty of run-ins since the beginning of the semester.
Taxes are inevitable on a student's tuition bill, but prior to voting March 19, the MSU community should take into account all aspects of the way money is handled by a group before casting a vote.
Lawmakers might find it easy to brush aside art programs to balance a gloomy state budget. But a lack of creativity could prove more costly to the state's future than any $1.7-billion deficit if it becomes the price-slashing norm in Lansing. On March 6, Gov.
Hold on to your Bibles (or whatever you hold sacred), folks. You didn't think I'd leave you in this hysterical despair forever, did you? I've returned to preach a Brian Wilson gospel of good vibrations.
Two-thousand dollars is petty cash thrown around by all the student millionaires that go to MSU. "Students in general who have scored well enough on the MEAP exam to achieve these scholarships are students that are college bound and will find the resources to funding," said Pamela Horne, assistant to the provost for enrollment management and director of admissions, in response to Gov.
Congressional leaders couldn't have acted sooner and more appropriately Tuesday when they decided to begin getting the French out of America by replacing french fries with "freedom fries" and French toast with "freedom toast." All U.S.
This is in response to "Band belongs in the corner of Breslin" (SN 3/10). First, just to make things clear, no, I am not a band member.
This letter is in response to the controversy over the series of ads about Palestinians. As a pro-Israel MSU student, I support publication that displays facts about Arab communities celebrating on Sept.
After reading the article, "In reality, making a band far from easy" (SN 3/13), I must first say that I agree, it is hard to find and maintain a band with like goals.
Nonminorities might face racism now and then, but it is nowhere near the severity of the treatment minorities face every day from teachers, bosses, co-workers and classmates.
The protests of campustruth.org are acceptable but do not refute the truth behind these pictures. Regardless of the light in which it paints Palestinians, these pictures are accurate. I charge the protesters to disprove the pictures of Israelis mourning on Sept.
This is in response to the editorial "One-man show" (SN 3/11). Why should the president "choose his statements with more caution" when our nation's security is at risk?
I'm glad to see The State News decided to run Michael Perez's column, "Running ads could incite violence, perpetuate discrimination" (SN 3/10) on the same day as said inflammatory ad.
According to the Constitution and its chief interpreters, all opinions - even those that are ignorant or unpopular - have a place to be heard in the United States. In late February, The State News entered into an advertising contract with campustruth.org and the One Truth organization.
After a few years of diligently reading newspaper editorial pages, I have discovered one universal truth: In every newspaper, no matter how liberal or conservative the editorial board, someone will regularly write a letter to the editor decrying a "liberal bias" in the media.
I would like to reply to the letter by Joe Stein, "Band belongs in the corner of Breslin" (SN 3/10). If you had half the commitment the MSU band students have you would not be posting such an idiotic remark.
