As usual, the bad news is the news that is printed. I have a question concerning The Northern Star's policy on coverage of Greek events. Why concentrate on the negatives in your coverage? Very rarely have I seen the positives mentioned. What happened...

I would just like to take time out to bring attention to two thoughtless people in the Student Association and their mindless acts. John Fallon states in the March 26 edition of The Northern Star that his arrest for entering a bar illegally, "has nothing...

In response to an article written by Stephen J. Klyczek about the sidewalk cleaning of the MLK mall area, what do you mean about vandalism and graffiti? Just in case you didn't notice, on March 20 there was a crew of two to three people removing graffiti...

Picture it: DeKalb, 1990. Racial conflict has dominated the forefront of society and the college students are slowly losing hope for a bright future full of equality, peace and harmony. In the midst of all the racial tension a ray of hope is seen in what...

Read this and tell me if you think I'm completely demented. Maybe you can relate to it. I'm not sure—I don't really know you that well. You dream that life is a gigantic shoe store. It's 10:48 on a Monday morning. You have heard that not many people...
