JLS outstanding

November 29, 1988

Let me go on record as saying the John Lennon Society is an asset to the NIU campus as a WHOLE. The JLS led the total campus population when racism appeared in the form of a blatant flyer on campus. The JLS has demonstrated that they have done research...

Phones important

November 22, 1988

University Police Captain James Webster was quoted in a recent article criticizing the security phone system proposed for NIU. He apparently was unaware of the facts regarding the system. The security phone system proposed by the SA Welfare Committee...

Inadequate parking

November 22, 1988

I am outraged about the parking situation here at NIU. Last semester, parking stickers were $9, so why did the price increase to $30? What is NIU trying to pull on its students? And also, there is a problem with finding parking spaces on campus. Students...
