This morning, while eating a bowl of Golden Grahams and a raspberry danish, my eyes were caught by the images on the television and the ghastly view of the New York skyline in smoke.
Chances are if you visited some of Michigan’s numerous public beaches this summer, you may not have been able to enter the water because of unsafe bacteria levels. On campus, we have our own nasty environmental pollution history with E.
I want to express my appreciation to all the women and men who came out to protest the football game on Saturday to make their voices heard.
In the wake of two sexual assault cases at Williams Hall, residence hall officials are urging students to lock their doors.
I write to show my strong disapproval of the pullout of the U.S. from the U.N. racism conference. It appears that the Bush administration policy toward world conferences appears to be “my way or the highway,” a description offered by an official in Newsweek. U.S.
As a cartoonist in the Lansing area and a former MSU student, I am outraged and disgusted by The State News’ (MSU’s “independent” student newspaper?) lack of support for local talent.
I grab my earplugs and wiggle them out of my ears. It is not yet 7 a.m., and I am already up to my knees in chlorophyll. My sleeveless shirt is spewed with the guts of 200 dead forms of life.
Universities are traditionally - and proudly - known for activism. But there are times when protesters wielding pride, justice and equity stand up and proudly, justly and equitably shoot themselves in the foot. About 100 protesters marched from the Union to Spartan Stadium on Saturday, denouncing the presence of freshman tight end Eric Knott and redshirt freshman quarterback Damon Dowdell on the Spartan roster.
Stop. Go. Yield. Crash. It’s inevitable that on a campus of some 40,000 students - many of which have to commute to campus daily - there’s going to be an accident every now and then.
I could not disagree more with Les Nixon’s choice to stop supporting MSU football (“Alumnus withdraws football support,” SN 9/6). I don’t care what he does, but I am disappointed to hear he is basing his decision on MSU’s admittance of two athletes involved in a crime. The cases of Eric Knott and Damon Dowdell have been resolved to the satisfaction of the state of Michigan.
I have lived in the dorms of MSU for five years. I have read the police brief concerning a man entering dorms, accosting male residents and getting away scot-free.
The “Women’s bodies have beauty with shape, not weight-loss regimens” column that appeared Sept.
So you think you’ve got what it takes to thrive in today’s glut of reality-based television shows?
John McCandless sounds ready. Downright prepared, actually. You see, Saturday not only marks the season kickoff for the touted Spartan football squad.
Recently I have read some of the most slandering editorials I’ve ever seen in The State News. People are judging Eric Knott solely upon what the media has reported about him and this unfortunate situation.However none of us were there.
Saturday marks the start of one of college life’s greatest and most time-tested traditions - football season. There isn’t a college student - past or present - who doesn’t know the feel of the electricity that pervades campus on those crisp autumn days featuring a game at their home stadium.
When I read Jack Flakne’s column “Spartans should look to Clinton for guidance about Knott case,” (SN 9/5), I felt physically ill.
For only $49.95, you can strip another person of his rights. The price, of course, is negotiable, but the United States opted not to even consider the offer.
It’s College Savings Month in Michigan. Well, at least if you ask Gov. John Engler and Lt.
We have all heard that the Internet gives us the world at our fingertips. I have information for days.
