Hold on. It's election season. Yeah, the students elected a new Student Association president, vice president and treasurer this week. The front page of this paper probably proclaims the proud winner's name. But is there pride involved? Where's the pride...

It seems that Gay Awareness Week is upon us once again. As always, when the Gay Lesbian Union sponsors an event, a dumb question comes to mind: Why is GLU the only organization that cannot publish the location of their events on their flyers? They can...

Establishing and maintaining good credit can be difficult for students, but it's not impossible. If you are old enough to sign a binding contract—18 in Illinois—you're old enough to obtain credit. The following explains how to obtain credit and what...

Throughout the past couple of weeks, we've been bombarded with letters and editorials berating SA presidential hopeful John Fallon for his recent arrest. John was allegedly caught inside Amnesia as a minor. Now, all of the saints on campus are coming...

Mondays usually mark the beginnings of my weekly column idea searches. They usually end on Tuesday nights after I have painstakingly screened every current publication known to man and made a final decision on what shall be the topic if the week. Well,...

On April 11 and 12, we will have the opportunity to select the individual who will represent the entire NIU student body, as our president, for one full year. Because this position is so very important to the future of our rights as students, it must...
