COMMENTARY
Perceived rank
The review’s 2002 edition of “The Best 331 Colleges” hit bookshelves recently with good news and bad news for MSU.
COMMENTARY
SN lacked facts in Knott case editorial
As aspiring journalists you should remember what is taught in class and stick to the facts when reporting (“Cold reception,” SN 8/15). Leave the speculation to the tabloids. The little known facts in the Eric Knott case point not to rape, but at worst to sex between an eighth grader and a high school junior.
COMMENTARY
Donate furniture to charities, not curb
A suggestion to students now changing residences, and something to consider for later in the year to others: When semesters change and students move out of their houses and apartments many put usable furniture they no longer need out to the curb with a big “free” sign attached.
COMMENTARY
Mishandled
The committee’s report is in - and its recommendation is to create another committee. On Friday, the four-member panel appointed by MSU President M.

Freedom of speech requires all views be heard - even if wrong
I’ve always considered myself a sort of maverick of the First Amendment. “Congress shall make no law...” Y’all know how it goes - at least you should.
COMMENTARY
Shame on those criticizing Knott
In response to all of the Knott attackers including The State News (“Cold reception,” SN 8/15), I have one thing to say, shame on all of you.
COMMENTARY
U right to take chance with Knott
While I in no way condone what he has done, I will applaud my university for taking a chance on Eric Knott and providing him a possible conduit to change his life and make something of himself.While Knott’s punishment may not have fit the crime, O.J.
COMMENTARY
Football team could change players life
Just because a person makes a mistake doesn’t mean all opportunities should be taken away from them.
COMMENTARY
Welcome action
Campus’ silence was suddenly broken last week as minivans loaded with futons, mini-refrigerators and computers flooded into campus, clogging roadways as they headed to unload their precious cargoes. And while the influx of students back to campus ends the summertime splendor of short lines at night hot spots and nearly non-existent traffic, it’s a welcome sign to a new school year. The puzzling fact is most students are ready to be back to East Lansing - well, at least we are.
COMMENTARY
Full scholarship bad lesson for player
Eric Knott recently finished serving 30 days in jail and is swapping his orange jumpsuit for a green and white uniform to begin practicing as a Spartan.
COMMENTARY
Graduate not proud of green and white
Since graduating from MSU, I have always let everyone know how proud I was to be a Spartan. That is, until the administration provided freshman tight end Eric Knott a full-ride scholarship.I have never been more ashamed to say that I graduated from MSU than I am now.
COMMENTARY
Cold reception
Eric Knott had better thank his lucky stars he can catch a football. If he couldn’t, he’d most likely be in prison right now, possibly for the rest of his life. Last June, Knott pleaded guilty to fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and served 30 days in jail for the alleged rape of a 13-year-old Detroit girl in July 1999.
COMMENTARY
Students need to make voices heard
After reading the article on moving the primaries in East Lansing from August to September (“August primary irks some,” SN 8/9) I was reminded of a similar issue back in fall 1994, when activists tried to push a vote into the fall months to increase the voting power of students.
COMMENTARY
Day Knott plays will be a sad one
I have always enjoyed MSU sports, especially football and basketball. But Monday was a sad, sad day for me when I picked up The State News and read the article that not only would Eric Knott be playing football for MSU, but he was also given a full-ride scholarship?
COMMENTARY
Athlete deserves a new opportunity
This is in response to Dr. Steven McCornack’s recent letter(“Officials should be ashamed of choice,” SN 8/13). Do you not believe someone deserves a second chance?
COMMENTARY
Residents deserve chance to vote
My letter is in response to the comment from the Mason clerk’s office and its response to the 9.3 percent voter turnout in Tuesday’s primary for city council.
COMMENTARY
Recent decision will reflect poorly on U
This week MSU added to its football team a convicted sex offender who served jail time before he could earn playing time.
COMMENTARY
U should re-evaluate value of some classes
The university’s undergraduate required courses are a joke.I’m not the first person to say this, but bear with me for a moment.
COMMENTARY
Columns premise rife with faulty logic
So socialist Europe is conspiring to destroy America through unfair environmental regulation (“Treaty doesn’t solve major world problems,” SN 8/9). I think I smell paranoia.
