I would like to address Torrick Ward's letter (Feb. 7), and I would like to ask him a few questions. First, I am amazed that Mr. Ward is trying to compare suffering. One group's suffering does not outweigh another's. Mr. Ward, what type of balance do...

All the people who always said there was something about the college lifestyle that made young people do terrible things have apparently found their culprit. It's an Illinette. Yes, University of Illinois Task Force on Sexual Assault and Violence last...

$1,000,000 That's a lot of money. Oohh, Dan. Amazing revelation. You ought to write a book. Sharp as a disposable razor blade. How long did you go to school to figure that one out? OK, I know. You have to be about as sharp as a bowl of Cream of Wheat...

I would like to respond to Torrik Ward's letter which was in response to William Crumbaugh's letter to the paper last Monday. Well Mr. Ward, congratulations. At least that's what I think you want to hear. People have been persecuted throughout history....

Drinks, sex, cigarettes. Ford Cortinas, household pets. Bombs, wars, famine, death. An apathetic public couldn't care less. I don't know if you're into hardcore punk or not, but those words come from an old thrash tune called "Apathy" by the Subhumans....

The university is a step closer to having a charge card for the Holmes Student Center Bookstore. The green light was recently given to the project, and now the only thing left to do is get the charge card charging. The charge card is a good idea because...

I am responding to a letter by the Feminist Front (Feb. 2). I had planned to ignore the Feminist Front's rude and inexcusable actions at our memorial service, since, by the group's behavior, they only helped to strengthen the bond of those there to fight...
