Students who are not graduating this semester will be happy to know they might see a cleaned-up and beautified King Memorial Commons before they leave NIU. After a six-month delay, caused by the Holmes Student Center recladding, the commons' renovations...

I write to take issue with the reasoning of William Crumbaugh in Monday's newspaper. He alleges that the Jewish people have suffered more from racial prejudice and injustice than the African-American. This is absurd, for equating the Holocaust to the...

I would like to clarify part of my letter "Opinion off mark" (Dec. 8) that was totally misunderstood by Michael Bonds in his letter "Views misled" (Jan. 30). Mr. Bonds, in your first letter, you stated that the ACT should be geared toward "the majority,"...

Many colleges and universities across the country are dealing with racism in a manner which NIU will probably consider sooner or later. Campuses are passing regulations which penalize students who insult others based on their race, religion, or sexual...

I apologize for any misrepresentation of Pro-Lifers to the Feminist Front. I would also like to clarify a few points. First, the prayer service (Jan. 21) was not a cover for "anti-women politics." It was a time of prayer and honor for the dead. Though...

Something must be done that will allow students to have adequate study space in a quiet atmosphere. Every semester, students hear the same plans for discussing student organization office space in the Holmes Student Center that could infringe upon study...

For two weeks in The Northern Star, there has been a prolonged bashing of the Feminist Front for its participation in the Sunday night (Jan. 21) memorial service. The editorial attacks have centered on bad manners and the lack of respect for a religious...

Sometimes, ideas get tossed around for years and never get anywhere because they might seem a little too outrageous and don't have a big enough name behind them to make people think they aren't so outrageous. Some of these ideas are destined to be tossed...

DeKalb. What's the first thing that comes into your mind when you hear this name? Undoubtedly, most of you would say, "corn." Some others would think of NIU and wild parties (although I have yet to see a good party this semester). How many of you think...

I was very disappointed, walking across campus Monday morning, at the inability of the university to clear the ice off of heavily traveled pathways, or at least putting gravel or salt down to help break the slick surfaces. I especially would like to comment...

Boy, the 1990s certainly seem like they're going to be a dream decade, don't they? What with the Berlin Wall coming down, all this talk of German unification, Noriega in custody, Gorbachev and all his reforms, an Eastern European strive for democracy...
