Many of the 16,352 fans at Huskie Stadium must have thought they were seeing the dramatic return of Brett Schroeder to the NIU lineup Saturday when No. 38 made a one-yard plunge into the end zone early in the fourth quarter. In reality that No. 38 was...

The school board of St. Sabina Catholic Parish set a disturbing precedent last week when it approved a drug testing policy for its 500 students. The drug testing is necessarily not the disturbing part. The problem lies in the fact that St. Sabina is not...

We would like to take a minute to thank all of those involved in the successful "Clean the Scene" event held Oct. 14. Everyone who participated in theThe following groups and individuals were instrumental in making the day a success: Mark Shafer and Campus...
