Made her choice

September 28, 1989

This is in response to Miss Quilici's Sept. 26 column in The Northern Star. Miss Quilici made up a nice little story to show the "pro-choice" side of the issue. The tale involves a girl who is "victimized" by her birth control pills and she finds herself...

Rights denied?

September 28, 1989

After reading the story, "Fugitive sighted at NIU," which was the headline of the Sept. 13 edition of The Northern Star, I just had to respond. My first statement is, if the two girls who claimed that they saw Richard Church, could positively identify...

Real human life

September 28, 1989

I think it is ironic that the people who believe a woman has a right to an abortion call themselves pro-choice. A woman has many choices regarding motherhood. A woman has a choice whether or not she will have sex. If she chooses to have sex, she has a...

Use prevention

September 27, 1989

I told myself long ago that I would not fall victim to the pro-choice/pro-life debate. I, like everyone else in this country, have a fundamental right to my own belief system. Unfortunately, after reading Miss Vorreyer's reference to "pro-choice is cover...

Cut all U.S. chemical arms

September 27, 1989

President Bush announced Monday that because the world "has lived too long in the shadow of chemical warfare," the U.S. is prepared to eliminate 80 percent of its chemical weapons if the Soviet Union would do the same. The plan would call for the eventual...

Test can’t provide education

September 27, 1989

Think back for a minute. How many of you remember the four or five pages of facts that you most likely crammed the night before the dreaded and required NIU constitution test? Most of you probably don't remember a lot of the information on which you were...

Not valid reasons

September 27, 1989

As an ex-senator of the Student Association, as well as an ex-member of the Internal Affairs committee, I have heard a great number of paltry excuses from senators just like Mr. Greg Potts and Mr. Jon Markese. There is no excuse for missing the first...

World is at risk

September 27, 1989

In the wake of the recent barrage of both man-made environmental disasters and natural calamities it should be duly noted that our ever-threatened ecosphere is fragile and that our policies purporting to protect it are fallible. The caustic, apocalyptic...

Choose carefully

September 27, 1989

I was quite appalled by the "choice" of words on the front page Sept. 21. I understand it is only a matter of semantics, but if you say "pro-choice" why not say "pro-life" rather than "anti-abortionist." Or, better yet, why not say "pro-life" and "anti-life."...

Find ways to reduce stress

September 27, 1989

Well Now Health Enhancement Services "I never have enough time to study. My assignments are piling up and I don't know what to do first." "Everyone on my floor comes to me for advice. Sometimes I just want to lock my door and put up a sign that says,...

Major milestone

September 26, 1989

The 1989 Huskie football season will mark my 24th year following the Huskies and Sept. 9 marked a major milestone for me. As a resident of the very near north side of Chicago and prior to that a south suburban resident, Sept. 9 was the very first time...

Made me laugh

September 26, 1989

This is in response to the scalding rebuttal of Peter Mills in the Sept. 22, Northern Star. He responded to the Bob McBob cartoon strip in which Eric Dietz made an offhand satire on the abortion issue. (Bob, an average college student, debates with a...
