Today is rumored to be the day Michael Jordan makes his much-anticipated official announcement.Since early this year, stories have grown about the possibility, the probability and the practicality of Jordan coming back to the NBA.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 has gained its most notoriety on campus from what has been publicized most about it - the decimation of men’s gymnastics, fencing and lacrosse.
Planes flying over Spartan Stadium is normal, common and a tradition. I graduated from the College of Engineering in spring 2000 and was a member of a social fraternity.
With any luck, Michigan universities will soon see state aid increase with the repeal of the failed tuition tax credit.
With a digitized splash of red, little Jimmy gets eviscerated. As he slumps to the floor, his best friend Bobby steps over him and does a little dance. “Dude, I captured your flag,” he types.
Like everyone else on Sept. 12, I walked into my first class with tears in my eyes. I think the previous day’s events were just beginning to set in.
Automobile and pedestrian traffic often interact unsuccessfully on this large and modern campus. As someone who walks, I often confront dangerous situations caused by automobiles. I was happy to encounter the new crosswalk yield sign near the south entrance of Spartan Stadium.
No religion on earth claims the way to God is at the cost of innocent lives. Islam is no exception. The despicable and heinous acts perpetrated at the World Trade Center and Pentagon are not tolerated by this faith. Muslims across the United States and elsewhere were quick to denounce what were apparently vicious and cowardly acts of terrorism against innocent civilians.
Everyone agrees terrorists should be brought to book, but some misgivings may arise against Islam and the Muslims, which needs to be rectified. Islam, which literally means “peace,” stands for peace as much as does Christianity, Judaism or any other religion, but there are some in the religion who have misinterpreted it for their own interests.
MSU’s Board of Trustees has joined in the outpouring of humanitarian support our country has seen in recent weeks following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
Ernie Smith, how dare you (“Support of Israel asked for attacks,” SN 9/17)? I realize you are only a sophomore, but please, come out of your ivory tower and smell some reality.
Whether propping open a door leads to every single unfortunate incident where someone gets attacked in their room does not change one fact: Propping doors compromises security.
I was happy to see the article about the Muslim faith in the Sept. 20 issue of The State News (“Students pack Union forum to learn more on Muslim faith”). I would like to clarify one point that appeared in the article.
The response of the students to the recent tragic events has been magnificent. Many, many people have called asking to sponsor blood drives, volunteer, raise funds or provide anything else that was needed.
I’m writing to express my extreme disappointment in the staff of Spartan Stadium at the first football game.
Say goodbye to marriage proposals and advertisements for Dejà Vu. MSU is requesting the Federal Aviation Administration designate the airspace over Spartan Stadium as a no-fly zone, a decision that could effectively ground the small airplanes that trail advertisements behind them as they circle football games. Although the effort seems to have been given added attention after last week’s terrorist attacks, MSU President M.
We have all had the opportunity to reflect on Sept. 11’s tragedy and how it has impacted each of us personally.
We, as a nation, have really painted ourselves into a corner. Peace is not going to cut it this time and the anticipated war will be a different, more unsightly conflict than we all expect. Former President Bush proclaimed early in this ordeal we will have to fight dirty to combat these terrorists.
I am writing in response to the editorial, “Message Lost” (SN 9/10). I am disappointed by the judgmental and insulting language used to describe the first anti-rape protest. The article begins with a very objective, detached description of the legal circumstances of Eric Knott and Damon Dowdell.
