This letter is in response to those writing about icy walk ways (“Icy sidewalks should be salted,” SN 1/30, “Salted sidewalks too little, too late,” SN 2/5). On Monday, Jan.
The keg tagging bill proposed by the Michigan state House will do little to deter underage drinking and will only serve to cause problems for those who want to purchase alcohol legally.Rep.
I was extremely disappointed with The State News’ biased coverage of the MSU Students for Life vigil (“Abortion vigil stirs student debate,” SN 1/24). The photos were unfair and gave a distorted image of what really happened.
Slick Willie pardoned his brother. And no one cares. No one even notices. Do you know why no one cares?
I also am appalled by the conditions of the sidewalks (“Icy walkways should be salted,” SN 1/30). I have to go to work at 7 a.m.
The new arrest statistics may place MSU at the top of the list for alcohol violations, but the university’s reputation should not be judged by those numbers.The U.S.
Gov. John Engler’s plan to allow the governor to appoint seven additional members to the boards of MSU, Wayne State University, the University of Michigan and the State Board of Education should not be adopted.In his 11th State of the State speech Wednesday, Engler touted the state’s successes of the last year and outlined his agenda for the coming year.
Astronaut. President. Quarterback. Fireman. When you probe the minds of elementary schoolchildren as to what they want to be - when they grow out of finger-painting and enter the real world - these are the responses they sling at you.
Rishi Kundi’s article on gay marriage was excellent and indirectly addresses a major problem with some laws today, including the violation of separation of church and state (“Gay marriage not complex issue to understand,” SN 1/31). It makes sense religious objection should dictate whether same-sex couples are married by a priest in a church that condemns homosexuality.
“I am proud of my country always; and I am proud of my government only when it is deserving,” Mark Twain once wrote on government.
I would just like to commend Rishi Kundi for his stance on the gay marriage issue (“Gay marriage not complex issue to understand,” SN 1/31). I feel it is about time someone stepped back and took a look at issues like this. I have been arguing this issue for years and have seemed to be on the losing side every time, however, my beliefs would not let me quit.
I’m confused. On Jan. 24, The State News published an article that covered the MSU Students for Life vigil at Beaumont Tower (“Abortion vigil stirs student debate,” SN 1/24). The vigil was held by pro-life students Jan.
Georgia’s new state flag design is a welcome change, but one that is long overdue.Georgia Gov.
The sight was sweet, sitting inside Crisler Arena on Tuesday night watching my Spartans lay a walloping on our rival, the Michigan Wolverines. Not only did our team turn in an almost picture-perfect performance, the crowd support from fellow Sparty fans was amazing.
I thought my opinion of the authorities could not get any worse. I had sour feelings about the police at age 15, when I would crouch in an alley at 10:30 on Saturday nights, hiding from police who enforced a strict curfew.
I would like to respond to the statement from Kate Murphy, assistant director of Residence Life, in relation to the sexual assault of a student on campus recently.
Though I have only been in the Residence Halls Association since the beginning of this semester, I know that RHA, along with many other people, has tried to get peepholes installed.
I’ve been writing this column for a year now. Admittedly, I occasionally have an opinion on something, but most of the time, I try to make you laugh. Judging from the letters I’ve gotten, I’ve been successful in doing that.
The article on skiing in Friday’s entertainment section (“Skiing Michigan”) left out a few important ski hills close to East Lansing.
This is in response to Ebuni N. Mosley’s letter “Jackson cartoon was degrading” (SN 1/26). I have to begin by saying that Mosley completely missed the point of Justin Bilicki’s cartoon in last Wednesday’s paper. Bilicki’s cartoon in no way depicts black people in a negative manner.
