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...

This just in. Thanks to Louis Farrakhan's appearance at NIU, a new fashion fad has appeared on the college scene. College students everywhere have begun wearing cheesy bow ties (Is there any other kind of bow tie?) with their inside-out sweatshirts. No,...

The Student Association needs to use its public relations department to make the student body more aware of the SA's benefits. The recent senate elections, in which one senator was elected with only two votes, are evidence that the public relations department...

The Star has shown its anti-choice bias once again by misrepresenting a Feminist Front protest last week. Star reported (1/22/90) that 25 members of the Feminist Front disrupted the so-called "religious service" sponsored by the Students for the Right...

Apparently, George Bush thinks he's Superman. Our fearless president will be heading off to Cartagena, Columbia on Feb. 15 for a one-day international drug summit. Columbia is the nerve center of the world drug trade, and for this reason, there are probably...

The Student Association elections are finally over after suffering through voting irregularities and a blast from Mother Nature. Some voters received the wrong ballots while other voters were not asked for their student I.D., nor were their I.D.s marked...

During the anti-racism rally Tuesday afternoon, I was involved in a discussion (between blacks and whites) that ended in the decision that Minister Louis Farrakhan might not have been a good representation in getting the actual black message across to...
