The State News should start covering news, not rehashing old, painful memories. The article on the 1999 riot following the men’s loss to Duke was entirely unnecessary (“E.L.
Upon reading the front page article from the March 28 paper (“E.L.
I thank The State News editors for their emphasis on men’s basketball coverage. The hockey program has been given its share of coverage because of Ryan Miller’s achievement (“Frozen Four is as important as Final Four,” SN 3/27). There are plenty of programs that barely get any coverage at all.
The debate over race-based admission standards is a difficult one that has valid arguments on both sides. The University of Michigan Law School was ordered by a U.S.
I agree with what Michonne L. Omo said about the Frozen Four deserving just as much attention from The State News and other newspapers as the Final Four does (“Frozen Four is as important as Final Four” SN 3/27). When I walked into Wells Hall on Monday morning, ready to grab my copy of the paper, I expected - or at least hoped - to see a paper with equal billing for MSU’s men’s basketball and hockey teams.
However much I disagree with Ashley Bell’sopinion of Michigan’s new concealed weapons law (“Concealed weapons will increase guns,” SN 3/23), I commend her for explaining the bill objectively, as many people like the “Million” Moms (numbering closer to five) and the press fail to do.
Speaking as an orange- and blue-blooded Fighting Illini fan, I want to wish the Spartans good luck against Arizona this weekend in the Final Four.
Last weekend, I went back home to Kalamazoo. I was driving around with my friends trying to find a parking spot at Warehouse Records when all of a sudden, a black car with tinted windows pulled up alongside me.
Coach Izzo deserves congratulations for what is already another great season, but he deserves even more respect for how he and his team reached this point.
I am writing in response to Janell Seymour’s letter, “Christ is there - even on vacation” (SN 3/22). Born and raised on the other side of the world (Taiwan), I have looked at religion issues from a neutral standpoint.
The donor who gave money to help fund a new center for the business college should be congratulated for the generous gift. An anonymous donor contributed $8 million toward the soon-to-be completed Executive Development Center.
I have a few objections to the column written by Ashley Bell ( “Concealed weapons law will increase guns,” SN 3/23). Most are minor and probably nitpicking on my part. Why does Bell assume any substantial percentage of gun-related accidents occur with concealed weapons?
I am writing in response to Michonne Omo’s column, “Frozen Four is as important as Final Four,” (SN 3/27) regarding the lack of hockey team coverage.
This past weekend, our MSU Spartan basketball team displayed their excellent skills by defeating Gonzaga and Temple to enter the Final Four.
If there’s one thing I love, it is gayness. My blood is actually rainbow colored. When I look in the mirror every morning, I exclaim to myself, “Brian, you look incredibly gay today,” and I smile. That is why next week is so exciting.
I am a hockey fan. My veins run with ice and I get no better thrill than watching a good check or an amazing goal.
In response to Janell Seymour’s letter (“Christ is there - even on vacation,” SN 3/22), I would argue that challenging Christians’ or non-Christians’ beliefs is not always a good thing. I, like many others, feel very uncomfortable when evangelists attempt to “convert” people as part of their Christian duty.
It was disgust at first bite.With every forced piece, my distaste grew stronger.Growing up, everyone from friends to teachers to distant relatives had similar reactions: “You don’t like pizza?
I’m responding to Dan Austin’s column, “Tax cut money should be used to pay off debt” (SN 3/21). Just so you don’t get brainwashed by what you read, President Bush is paying off the national debt.
