Senate must look within

November 29, 1990

It's about time the Student Association is hearing something from one of its own. SA Recycling Adviser Dave Broustis tried to make some heads turn by addressing the senate with its continuous cycle of getting nothing done. And although Broustis could...

Sex not bowling

November 29, 1990

I am writing in response to Marc Albert's column on anti-homosexual arguments. His column is filled with unfounded presuppositions and logical leaps. First of all, he assumes an anti-homosexual attitude is "irrational hatred." Personally, I have no hatred...

Reason weak

November 29, 1990

I am writing this in response to Marc Albert's column entitled "Music scams might be the results of politics." I applaud his efforts to denounce the fraud duo Milli Vanilli, but I question the manner in which he does so. In the article he claims Billy...

Harpsichord recital

Jayne Schafer will perform a harpsichord recital Sunday at 5 p.m. in the Music Building's Recital Hall. Schafer will play compositions by Bach, Scarlotti, Couperin and Persichetti. Three appointed to board The Ben Gordon Foundation has announced the appointment...

Klunker cars need smart owners to survive

November 29, 1990

Experiencing a few "minor" problems with your vehicle lately? Does Ole Beater start only on calendar days that are prime numbers? If so, it may be time to bring trusty rusty into a local auto surgeon for a needed fix-up. The first and perhaps most important...

Protesters can get answers

November 29, 1990

Well, it's happened. Every student or faculty member who ever complained, worried or even mildly protested anything about NIU can now vent their spleens publicly. Today, four university officials are holding an education forum to answer any questions...

Its meant to be

November 28, 1990

As we near the end of the semester that has provided this newspaper with countless topics of racism, sexism, and "religion-ism" and just plain old "I-got-one-up-on-you-ism," I would like submit for your approval a brief account of "Hey-we're-all-people-let's-just-have-some-fun-ism."...

No racial basis

November 28, 1990

Daniel J. Stratman, on Nov. 20, caused an eyebrow to be raised with the concerns over Tanya Smith's recent fall from favor. His implication, unless I am mistaken, was that her race had some factor in the coverage of the story. Mr. Stratman, do you really...

AIDS Memorial Quilt

November 28, 1990

To mark AIDS Awareness Week, four quilt squares of the AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on display in the Holmes Student Center's Heritage and Regency rooms from Dec. 3 to 6. The entire quilt, larger than a football field, was displayed recently at the Washington...

Unknown costs

November 28, 1990

While George Bush pants for the sword, he has failed to inform us how much his bout with Iraq will eventually cost. It is true that many countries have pledged money to rent our army, but very little has actually been collected. The Kuwaiti monarchy,...

Facts not racist

November 28, 1990

For the first time in my life, I can finally say, now I've heard everything. After reading the Nov. 20 letter from Daniel J. Stratman, I know I can safely say that I'll never hear anything so ridiculous. There are two main points in the letter: One is...

Students asked to recycle

November 28, 1990

The Student Association wants students to "Clean the Scene" and recycle. On Saturday, the SA is sponsoring a "Clean the Scene" day for students to collect garbage and recycle all recyclable items from the west residence halls—Stevenson and Grant Towers...
