I am writing in regard to DeKalb Nite Weekly publisher, Frank Trebusak's comment in the April 19 Star. Trebusak implied that Nite Weekly protesters are only "jealous" of the Night Weekly models. Hopefully he has not really drawn such an off-focus and...

University Police knew that illegal drugs would be used at the April 23 rally that called for the legalization of marijuana, but the police failed to respond. I can only hope that President Bush is NOT as devoted as Captain Webster and the UPs in fighting...

About two months ago I dedicated a column to the problems women have becoming romantically involved with men. Basically, the point of the column was that some of us shy away from committment. Since then, many women have asked me the real reasons for this...

Well, this is it folks. I'm finally leaving for good, to return to DeKalb no more. Graduation is upon me, and I've packed my bags to venture out into the horrible void of life known as none other than the "real world." I must admit that for some reason,...

We, the Women's Alliance, would like to respond to your editorial entitled "Look for a Different Route." Prior to your article was a cartoon portraying our members as cockroaches being exterminated by "Freedom of the Press" bugspray. Does the cartoonist...
