Lawmakers are mulling over a bill they say will protect athletes from unscrupulous agents, but it seems the measure pays more lip service to Michigan voters than it does good for professional-bound athletes.
A trend, which began before Sept. 11, 2001, continues to threaten you - yes, you. I’d been aware those who occupy our most respected elected offices were leading the trend, but I hadn’t realized so many of my fellow citizens were following.
I have been a loyal Spartan since 1970. In all those years I have never written a disparaging word about MSU. But the last two weeks of MSU football have caused me so much distress I am compelled to protest the systemic incompetence of the athletics department. MSU is the laughing stock of NCAA Division I football programs.
Eric McKinney’s column endorsing booing in Spartan Stadium (“Players will whine, but booing understandable” SN 9/19) is completely out of line.
To quote a famous poet, Ja Rule, “I’m livin’ it up.” As a freshman, I thought I would be overwhelmed by the whole college scene.

I am writing in response the letter to the editor “Christian society should change name” (SN 9/12) about Campus Crusade for Christ.

But please look at the definition of the word in a dictionary.
I learned an important lesson when I read the editorial page in Wednesday’s edition of The State News.
MSU e-mail users are receiving more junk in their boxes than ever before, leaving us to wonder if university computer experts can do anything to stop it.
When I reminisce about my senior year of high school, the first images that come to mind are not of senioritis and partying.
The State News editorial “Drug Talk” (SN 9/18) is based on the incorrect assumption that marijuana use is inherently harmful.
As a proud member of the MSU community I would like to attempt to overturn one of the deepest running traditions on this campus - the verbal bashing of and lack of respect for the Red Cedar River.
The Bush administration has done a poor job of keeping Americans and foreigners informed about international policy, and we are not the only ones taking notice. The U.S.
When I reminisce about my senior year of high school, the first images that come to mind are not of senioritis and partying.
