Some Douglas Hall Resident Assistants will host a candlelight vigil at 9 p.m. tonight for the troops serving in the Gulf. All students are encouraged to bring their own candles and yellow ribbon and meet in the lobby for a walk to the West Lagoon. Music...

People might be hearing a lot more about what goes on behind closed doors thanks to Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris. The Illinois Open Meetings Act allows county, municipal and school boards to go into closed session when discussing personnel...

Point? The current Student Association is mirroring its predecessors by once again failing to make a point. Last spring, the SA senate was more than perturbed with an $850 price tag for refreshments at Campus Activities Board art shows, because the Holmes...

Welcome to the 1990s in the U.S. where aybody can get equal pay for equal work, all citizens over 21 are eligible have the right to vote and T.V. anchorwomen can be required to wear silk blouses so they look more "feminine." The Chicago Sun-times reported...

I am writing in response to the Jan. 25 letter to the editor from Corey Glenn. Mr. Glenn asserts the USA Today poll of 1,400 white people's views on black people was a " ... racially biased piece of ... trash." First of all, I don't know how you can say...

I wish to respond to the Jan. 30 article entitled "Gulf speak-out planned today." I found a comment by the NIU Community for Peace member Tom Rainey sad and rather ironic. He states to those who do not share his opinion: "We want to encourage them not...

This letter is in response to T.J. Keeler's shallow observations in his Jan. 29 letter to the editor. I take these accusations very personally, and it disturbs me to think a fellow American views me in this light. First of all, I would like to say I love...

I am writing in response to Joe Rebholz's attack on anti-war protesters that appeared in the The Northern Sta. First, I would like to commend you on your concern for human life (when you stated 900 deaths occurred related to protests) and for your obvious...
