In John La Fleur’s column Friday, he states marriage should be reserved for heterosexuals because “marriage is a formal mechanism to establish order in the lives of children.” Therefore, because homosexuals are incapable of having children among themselves, he argues they shouldn’t be allowed to marry.
John La Fleur’s column, “Institution of marriage is for heterosexuals” (SN 4/20), was probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read. His whole argument is based on faulty logic and selective reasoning.
Establishments should be held responsible for violations that occur on their premises or are related to activities that happened at the business. The Lansing City Council has taken away the liquor license from one bar and is considering taking away another’s.
I want to thank the nine men who attended the men’s forum at “Take Back The Night,” as well as those men who supported the event as a whole. Sadly, few men were this supportive.
I am writing in response to Michonne L. Omo’s column (“Message shouldn’t have been tampered with,” SN 4/17). I found her essay hypocritical and a prime example of why such an act as the sabotage of Campus Crusade for Christ’s chalk messages were necessary. In my opinion, the whole point of writing such offensive things was not to be just childish, but rather to juxtapose the traditional viewpoints of the Christian and non-Christian. There are complaints every year about the chalkings, and every year CCC counters with the argument that the chalk is harmless and can be easily ignored.
Because of an excessive amount of online bagel trading, Bagel Fragel will be closing down (“Bagel Fragel to close down,” SN 4/19). Just kidding.
It’s not just light. And it goes far beyond warmth. Past the beautiful MSU women (all of you) who take off their winter coats, and the flying balls and Frisbees orbiting the residence halls.
To say the least, it is unsettling to know such ignorance displayed in John La Fleur’s column exists (“ Institution of marriage is for heterosexuals,” SN 4/20). In fact, it makes me want to vomit. His definition of marriage is a “union from which children are born.” First of all, marriage is the union of two people.

On Wednesday I received something in the mail that was scarier than my Verizon Wireless cell phone bill.Well, maybe not that frightening, but it certainly gave me chills.
I wonder how many readers of this column would object to the legal recognition of incestuous relationships, including states allowing a person to marry one of his/her first cousins or even a sibling. I do not refer to those relationships in which one person forces another to engage in sexual relations with a family member.
In Tuesday’s paper, Michonne L. Omo stated in her column that the students who had altered existing Campus Crusade for Christ sidewalk messages were inconsiderate and disrespectful by changing statements like “Jesus loves you” to “Jesus wants you” (“Message shouldn’t have been tampered with,” SN 4/17). However, the original CCC messages were as offensive to non-Christians as the altered ones were to Christians.
I am writing this letter in response to the recent articles about the investigation by the MSU police into Students for Economic Justice.
As a former graduate assistant and a graduating doctoral student, the upcoming unionization election will have little impact on my life.
I am writing this letter to provide a counterpoint to the opinions that have been expressed about the recent infiltration of Students for Economic Justice by the MSU police.
It’s too bad this is my last column.My education here is over and my stint in the college newspaper theater is drawing to a close.
New developments make it evident that MSU officials were acting in the university’s best interest when they approved an undercover investigation of a student group.
An increase in student season tickets for football is not a big deal. A full-season student football ticket will cost $99, $16.50 a game, for next season, up from the $84, $14 a game, charged for the last two seasons.
On March 27, Students for Economic Justice met with the president and administration in its continuing struggle to get MSU to cease its utilization of sweatshops.
