About the time I was 7, I was sure about a few things in life. I knew firsthand I was put on this earth to be a star on the television show “Kids Incorporated.” Around the age of 11, these dreams were crushed with the realization that it might not happen.On the bright side, at 21 years old I am living out my other childhood dream: living in New York City.
The Michigan Senate is making a grave mistake by allowing oil drilling in the Great Lakes. The Senate passed two bills supporting drilling in May, with backers split evenly along party lines.
I bought a new CD last week. “Pneumonia,” by Whiskeytown. A fine title in the tradition of country music: romantic, tragic and evocative.
I’m fat. Obese, actually. Yes, it was a startling, and a little unnerving, discovery for me.
Dating can be compared to a large piece of chocolate cake. At first glance, the confectionery is perfect.
The Michigan prison visitation policy, which has recently come under scrutiny, is much too strict and has too many downfalls to be considered effective. The policies, which were enacted in 1995, were challenged by several prisoners and overturned by U.S.
The entire world hates us. Americans are loud. Loud and obnoxious. We think it’s OK to do whatever we want, whenever we want.
I am new to the East Lansing area, having just graduated from law school out-of-state. I often study on campus to have a change of scenery.
During the snowstorms of finals week in December, what was the university’s statement on snow removal?
As a member of the College of Human Medicine, the headline ( “Study: med college racist,” SN 6/14) certainly got my attention.
I am disappointed to see that The State News has given such a prominent place and uncritical treatment of the recently released “study” by the Center for Equal Opportunity ( “Study: med college racist,” SN 6/14). Your article reports the findings of this report with little or no critical analysis of the data or the organization that produced it.
There’s a word some people need to learn: responsibility. In your article (“Election flaws discovered,” SN 6/6), Nikki O’Brien, coordinator for African American Student Affairs at MSU, along with the editorial board of The State News, acted irresponsibly.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”So begins Charles Dickens’ French Revolution-era novel “A Tale of Two Cities.” So also begins my segue into a discussion I had with a fellow radio-show host Friday (Incidentally, this is in no way intended as any sort of shameless self-promotion.
The Michigan prison visitation policy, which has recently come under scrutiny, is much too strict and has too many downfalls to be considered effective. The policies, which were enacted in 1995, were challenged by several prisoners and overturned by U.S.
Who is David Manning and why is he causing such a commotion in Hollywood and across the country? The answer: He is the figment of the imagination of an employee at Sony Pictures who has given out good reviews for movies produced by Sony Pictures.

In the last two weeks, I’ve been called: a) As cruel as a roaring 1920s mobster. b) As heartless as the pre-Oz tin man. c) As noncompassionate as an MSU math TA. You see, this parade of insults began May 29, when the U.S.
Although the Michigan Supreme Court is highly likely to overturn a previous Court of Appeals ruling, it should do the right thing and put concealed weapons legislation to a voter referendum. The law, which would make a concealed weapons permit easier to obtain, is scheduled to take effect July 1.
Even though I read “the paper” every day, I never have responded to anything I have read in it.
I am writing because of an incident that really made me angry this week. If there’s one thing I can’t stand in this world, it is ignorance.
President Bush’s visit to Europe is a good way for his administration to kick off good relations abroad, but his focus appears skewed. Bush’s five-day tour began Tuesday in Madrid, Spain, where he met with King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia before a private session with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar.
