Be constructive

October 17, 1990

In further response to a letter from Mike Rudnicki, (you're almost famous, huh?) I must express my opinion. I do so highly respect people who sit on couches "chomping chips" that are quick to judge and make accusations about things they know little about...

Edgar’s support spreads

October 17, 1990

Secretary of State Jim Edgar's support for governor is spanning Illinois as state legislators send a message that the Republican is the man to believe this election. Sixteen State Reps. and Sens. are traveling in every direction to let people know Democrat...

At a theater near you: SA

October 17, 1990

The Student Association should be looking for productive ways to send its message. And it seems that's what some are trying to do. SA Advertising Adviser John Quilico is proposing the group develop informational newsreels to let students know exactly...

Hoops hurt boy

October 17, 1990

There's a little boy who's dying. His name is Ryan Mack. He has a disease which can only be cured by a bone marrow transplant. Lutheran General Hospital is testing potential doners on Sunday, Oct. 21. (1-800-654-1247 for more info.) I was given a flyer...

Public has access to information with FOIAS

October 17, 1990

The public interest is served only when government operates in the open. It was with this central premise of representative government the U.S. Congress and state legislatures, including Illinois, have in recent years enacted Freedom of Information Acts....

Tax won’t help

October 17, 1990

After reading the editorial entitled "Students get aid from tax," I must express my dismay at the ignorance behind the arguments presented. True, there is a number of people entering their golden age. It's also true that we have a growing national debt....

Manic Depressives meet

The National Manic and Manic Depressive Association's first meeting will be held Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Holmes Student Center's lower level. Participants and donations are still being accepted. For more information call Susan Butera at 758-7326....

Senate becomes the fool

October 16, 1990

The Student Association senators better get their acts together now before a meeting comes where their shenanigans are really going to hurt something. Sunday's meeting was a complete fiasco. The senate's collective antics on that night show senators will...

Victor supported

October 16, 1990

In response to Mike Rudnicki's letter in Monday's Star slamming our beloved Huskie, we have a few things to say. First of all, do you know how hot it is inside of that "dog hair?" Deana's sister was the mascot for Eastern Illinois for years and sweat...

Inspire students

October 16, 1990

This letter is directed toward elementary education majors, but I know others will be able to relate to what I am expressing. I am a senior in the elementary education program. I plan to help children enjoy and get more out of school; so far I have been...

Thanks for vote

October 15, 1990

On behalf of my family and myself, I would like to sincerely thank Mayor Greg Sparrow and Aldermen for your vote against "impact fees" in DeKalb, Illinois. Your wisdom is gratifying and progressive. Should our community ultimately require added services,...

Effect doubtful

October 15, 1990

This is in response to the Women's Alliance petition against the DeKalb Nite Weekly, and to Hillary Finne's letter to the Northern Star on Oct. 15. Opinion no. 1: Do you actually think a mere 200 signatures are going to matter to a paper such as the DeKalb...
