It is apparent from Claudia Curry's self- proclaimed style of reading the newspaper only by "the interesting headlines" she is as uninformed and narrow-minded as a person can be. You criticize a religion that you know nothing about other than the so-called...

People can stop reading it, but they can't stop it from being published. Last week about five members of the NIU Woman's Alliance asked people to stop reading the DeKalb Nite Weekly and recycle it for Earth Day. The Nite Weekly is a newspaper that features...

Ever since the issue over the ROTC's discriminatory policies has come to light, there have been a lot of heated exchanges between both factions. However, I am writing to warn the students about the one thing that is keeping both sides from reaching an...

If only the world could be seen through a child's eyes. A child is innocent, ignorant of prejudices and unable to judge a person. Unfortunately, adults are responsible for molding those children. Last Friday, a Sunday school ban on a child with AIDS was...

Involuntary confrontations with the police are a source of great confusion and anxiety for many people. The 6th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to "the assistance of counsel," but an attorney is typically not present or immediately...

The Star was alone among the local press in carrying a news item about the tremendous rally and civil disobedience action at the White House on March 24. However, the AP story minimized the action by reporting that only 83 persons were arrested when actually,...

The U.S. Supreme Court has dipped its hands in a constitutional mess. The U.S. Constitution states there must be a separation between church and state, but recently the Court allowed states to forbid the use of peyote, a hallucinogenic plant, for religious...

Black Law Student Association I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America... We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal and are endowed by the creator with certain inalienable rights... I have a dream that...
