” The Athletic Department is cutting back in ways that will hurt the students. They are not having any more police protection at the football games this year. They have cut back and are having a total of five police officers a football game, down from approximately 25 from years previous. There will be no ushers in the stands. It will be a general free-for-all for students at every game.”

“Every building that is built on this campus should have parking space underneath. I would take the bus to work if I didn’t have to pay for it; I already paid for a parking space that I can’t find.”

On letters…

“I agree with the writer of the letter about the Mid American Conference. It was a big mistake to leave that conference. Sports at NIU have not been as exciting since that time.”
