I am writing in response to a State News letter written by Dave Wirth (”Runners shouldn’t sweat cat-calling,” SN 9/18). I just wanted to thank Wirth for setting me straight about the behaviors of males, especially groups of college men.
Last weekend, I was fortunate enough to have a ticket for the MSU-Notre Dame football game. Herb Haygood running into the end zone to give MSU the victory and the boisterous celebration in the stands that followed will be lasting memories that no Spartan fan will soon forget.
This is in response to a State News article (“MEXA: No apology for fraternity,” SN 9/28). Frankly, I am appalled that this kind of article would make the front page.
Women in the United States will finally have access to RU-486, a drug that should have been made legal years ago.
I do not understand the new policy in effect at Spartan Stadium this season regarding flagpoles not being allowed at games.
The image of MSU has improved drastically from the fiery and riotous one just a few years back. The conduct of the students has greatly improved, the football team’s bowl victory and the basketball team’s national championship has helped to broadcast that new image to the rest of the country and the recent actions of MSU President M.
In a State News article (“Local election interest gains momentum as races enter fall,” SN 9/26) you failed to mention that Libertarian Michael Corliss is running for U.S.
It’s truly a shame that the Culturas de las Razas Unidas’ mural on the rock was painted over, (“Fraternity paints over heritage message on rock,” SN 9/25) a true shame that the members of the CRU didn’t have the pride in what they were painting to stay til dawn and defend it. As long as I’ve been going to MSU, the only way to have your message stay on the rock was to defend it til dawn.
Although it was refreshing to see The State News highlight the attractions of Michigan’s largest city, (“Rock City provides a trip into the past,” SN 9/22) Jennifer Meese’s writing displayed a disposition to the city that was ill-informed and amateurish at best. Aside from factual errors - the oxymoron of the Detroit People Mover as an “above-ground subway,” or the claim that the Renaissance Center has four, rather than seven, towers - the piece contained an unfortunate and unnecessary slur on the city’s reputation.
Michigan State football games are a great place to get together with friends, relax and have fun. But I wonder why the student section felt it was necessary to yell “F--- the Irish” during Saturday’s game, embarrassing the alumni and school.
To be completely honest, I write these columns because I like seeing my name in print. I like having a lot of people read what I write, and I like the possibility of making someone else think about what occupies my thoughts.
On Sept. 20 of this year I was in a little bicycle mishap. It happened at or around 10:15 a.m. while I was biking up Farm Lane, near Service Road on my way to the commuter lot.
MSU made the right decision by not pursuing the removal of Napster from its server. An attorney for rapper Dr. Dre and rock band Metallica sent a letter to MSU and at least 10 other universities requesting them to block Napster on their computer systems.
Thursday at 5 p.m., Ariana Lind, co-president of the MSU chapter of the Green Party, arrives at the Auditorium - approximately four hours ahead of Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader.
I am a senior at East Lansing High school. I got up Friday morning and stumbled upon Sarah Emery’s column (“Don’t cry over spilled mocha latte with whipped cream,” SN 9/22) and my first thought was, “Why hasn’t anyone said anything before now?” Every year I watch the crowds of college students invade the town, take over the coffee shops, bars, bookstores and restaurants of our streets only to cause havoc in the world I know.
I am writing in response to Sheena Harrison’s article (“Fraternity paints over heritage message on rock,” SN 9/25). The outrage felt by Culturas de las Razas Unidas has little foundation.
My name is David Kost, and I’m running for Ingham County sheriff. I recently received a registered letter from Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth stating that I was given a 60-day involuntary unpaid leave of absence.
I’m writing in response to the decision made by President Clinton to use 5 percent of the national oil reserves in order to alleviate the high energy prices, specifically at the gas pump. I find his decision to be irresponsible and simply stupid.
I could not have been happier to see Amanda Clapp’s column (“Girlie magazines destroy teenage girls’ self-esteem,” SN 9/25). Too many girls these days fall victim to the traps set by the media.
