Missed issues

November 30, 1990

Don’t forget DeKalb site

Greeks’ image might crack

I am writing in response to Campus Minister Scott Stocking's letter entitled sex, not bowling. - Dear Scott, In the aforementioned work, you made reference to philosophy, and to a logical flaw in Marc Alberts' column on anti-homosexual arguments. The...

Get a shredder

November 30, 1990

I wish to voice a concern on behalf of Northern's employees. Last week, my husband started a ten-page paper for one of his grad classes. He had a lot of writing to do. Needless to say, he was going to need a lot of scratch paper. As any student can attest,...

Examine lives

November 30, 1990

Before this matter is put to rest I would like to add something to this vegetarian bobcat issue. Jeffrey Smolla began it by casting light on the irony that we may condemn this predator for beating us to the kill. The parallel between this animal's behavior...
