In the Oct. 11 Star, there was a short news item, "NIU student battered." It gave a brief description of the people involved. It did not say what they wore, nor how tall they were, nor what their shoe size was, but it did say the color of their skin....

"Sauce" is pouring it on. Stacey Robinson, who wears jersey No. 7, turned in the seventh NIU 1,000-yard rushing season Saturday when he rushed for 138 yards in the Huskies' win over Southwestern Louisiana. In the process Robinson passed both Adam Dach...
