When MSU police Officer Ann Stahl joins the Department of Police and Public Safety’s Detective Bureau on March 1 as an alcohol education officer, we hope she is up to a tough challenge before her. Stahl will be charged with working alongside Olin Health Center, the Residence Halls Association and mentors to educate MSU students.
If you’ve been keeping tabs on my weekly rhetoric, you’ve probably noticed a theme of faith has been a central thread through each of my columns. This Ash Wednesday proves to be no exception.
This is in response to the article “Diagnosing the Doctor” (SN 2/7) and the Web poll regarding the reduction in the hours during medical residencies.
I have been a hockey fan all my life and I must say I am highly disappointed with the crowd at home hockey games at Munn Ice Arena.
I am writing in response to a prejudicial comment made by Ellen Conser (“Stereotype contains factual information,” SN 2/11). Conser not only suggested that no negative stereotyping was presented on a racially biased flier, she went further to state that Asian American students are “just aching to seek personal advantage or the spotlight,” referring to an incident which took place at Meridian Mall.
It’s important for MSU’s undergraduate student governing groups like the Residence Halls Association and ASMSU to foster relationships with similar organizations from other institutions to address student issues and concerns in the best ways possible. Unfortunately, maintaining those relationship is not easy. On one side, there is ASMSU, which has been involved with the Associated Students of the Big Ten since the conglomerate was formed in 1993.
It’s about time former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic goes on trial Tuesday before a U.N.
In response to U.S. Rep. Nick Smith’s mandatory military service bill, Shaun Reed wrote, “To force young Americans to serve their country in the form of military service is not a democratic policy” (“Duty to country is served every day,” SN 2/6). Why not?
Sept. 11 was the best thing ever to happen to U.S. Rep. Gary Condit. Media attention wandered for much of the summer, focusing mostly on shark attacks and an energy shortage in California.
I wanted to commend Timothy Liss on his letter, “SN report didn’t consider all voices” (SN 2/8). I feel Liss has a much better understanding of what the Residence Halls Association as an organization is there for (“to help improve the campus and the lives of the students living on it”) than people like Case Hall RHA Rep.
People are so concerned about the treatment of the detainees in Guantanamo Bay they forget about how U.S.
When Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., campaigned to become our nation’s chief executive in 2000, he communicated a message of patriotism, hope and an unabashedly fervent belief in the American dream. Hard-core Republican reactionaries feared McCain because he was not conservative enough for their liking.
When officials from around the United States meet with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators to discuss the possibility of government-issued national ID cards, it is imperative that they consider citizens’ privacy. Debates about ID cards and their distribution have been steadily brewing since the Sept.
Regarding your article “Group protests depiction on flier” (SN 2/7), the complaints about the advertisement for “Kung Pow: Enter the Fist” seem to be the ad is discriminatory against Asian Americans because it 1) refers to consumption of dog meat, and 2) contains exaggerated physical features.
Last week, I read an editorial that said Gov. John Engler is sabotaging the Board of Trustees by removing a Democratic member through an appointment to the bench (“Engler games,” SN 2/1). For some reason, the blame was on Engler for making a nonpartisan decision to give someone a chance to realize a dream that very few have a chance to do.
I am writing in response to the editorial about the university being unprepared for the winter storm that occurred Jan.
If the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were testimony to the violence and hate that can grow inside the darkest corners of the human heart, Friday’s opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City illustrated the human ability to illuminate the globe with ideals of peace and love that ripen within our passions. During that ceremony, a 12-year-old boy, referred to as the Child of Light, was introduced to the world to represent the ability of the human spirit to overcome life’s adversities.
Thank you for the editorial on Gov. John Engler’s crude, self-serving attempt to become president of our university (“Musical chairs,” SN 2/7). It is amazing when one considers how stupid he must think his fellow Spartans are to believe him when he says he wouldn’t let political considerations influence his decisions on who should serve our university.
Which Jesus? Which differences? Those were my two questions as I read Matt Treadwell’s column “When it comes to faith, big picture more important than minor details” (SN 2/6). Some differences like ice cream preferences don’t matter.
I am writing in response to the letter “Abortion fueled by casual sex culture” (SN 2/5). The letter writer writes, “Until we get past our view of sex as recreational sometimes and reproductive other times, we will continue to rely on abortion,” and, “In order to maintain our current lifestyle, abortion is necessary to clean up the mistakes.” First of all, sex is recreational at times, and this is not specific to our own culture.
