A few days after the Spartans trumped Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship, I received a call from my mother. To my surprise, she asked if I would be interested in going to Pasadena, Calif., to watch MSU’s first Rose Bowl appearance in 26 years.
It took me a few seconds to process everything again before reality sunk in. In arguably MSU’s biggest game since the late 1980s, the Spartans would have to take the field one man short — a loss that’s substantively larger than just one player.
Let’s be blunt: Adderall is dangerous, illegal and routinely being passed out like candy on campus.
The conversation started with a question I’m sure many students ask on a daily basis. “Do you think I can take this wrap out of the cafeteria?”
ASMSU, MSU’s undergraduate student government, is set to elect a new president on Thursday. This is an excellent opportunity for constituents to connect with their representatives and voice their opinions about how ASMSU should move forward. Representatives are eager to hear from students about the qualities and agendas that they should look for in a candidate to fill this position for the coming semester.

Insurance coverage for some abortions, including in cases of rape or incest, is a simple majority vote away from being nixed in Michigan.
Most of us think of McDonald’s workers as high schoolers flipping burgers to pay for gas. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case anymore.
Immigration might seem like a far-away debate about border security in Arizona, but flawed policies hit close to home for thousands of international students at MSU. Unfortunately, after spending thousands of dollars and four or more years of their life at MSU, too many international students are forced to pack up their bags and leave the country.
Too often, poor college students see nutrition as out of their price range. A bag of dried acai berries or a fresh-pressed organic juice beverage could break the budget for students scraping by, but cheaper apples can be just as good for you.
To drink or not to drink? Let’s be real, this shouldn’t even be a question.
With Thanksgiving weekend, a harsh student ticket policy and 43-degree weather on schedule, it’s a safe bet to expect a pitiful showing of students for Saturday’s game against Minnesota.
Most of us don’t go to school just for the pure joy of learning; we get a degree so we can get a job. Unfortunately, some professors’ strict attendance policies are getting in the way of students finding work.
We are all students and attend college so that we can search for opportunities. However, classes should not be the only place to search. There are amazing things to learn outside of the classroom through the many activities that are provided through student groups and other organizations.
It’s ironic that students do not believe their own student government is in touch with them. ASMSU considers itself an entity whose goal is to “establish a collective student voice.”
Politicians, parents and even friends will tell you to stay in Michigan after graduation. I’ve heard about the brain drain more times than I can count, and I understand keeping grads in the state will help its recovery from the Great Recession.
When it comes down to it, there are no excuses. Whatever reason someone dreams up to somehow justify drunken driving is total garbage, and here’s why.
MSU recently opened a new center to provide support for MSU students who are veterans. In 2007, ASMSU anticipated the need for an organization dedicated to addressing and advocating concerns of veterans who were students at MSU.
Handing out student IDs needed to end — however, friends and family of students shouldn’t have to pay the price. One way to prevent this would be taking the ID out of the equation.
Whether it happens in our neighborhoods, or other cities or states, we must come together as one community, because this killing and others like it affect us all. As MSU students, faculty and staff, many of us come from Detroit and have loved ones across Michigan; and though we currently live in Lansing, this tragedy has a direct impact on our quality of life.
