Picture unrelated

By Diane Buerger | November 17, 1988

Augusto Javier, a Guatemalan refugee who has received legal asylum in the United States, will speak about the troubles of his country at the DeKalb Area Interfaith Network for Peace and Justice meeting Sunday. Guatemala, a Central American country, is...

Raises not justified

November 17, 1988

"The ones who need the most always seem to get the least." Similarly, in NIU's case, this statement can be best applied to the Regents' mind-blowing salary increase. As concerned students, we agree with Chancellor Groves' statement which stressed the...

Huskie basketball

November 17, 1988

Basketball season is fast approaching at NIU and I want to invite you all to join us for what I think will be a very exciting season. Yes, our squad will be young, but they are a group of young men who have worked extremely hard, have some talent and...

Could the developing attitude be apathetic?

November 15, 1988

Well, let's have some fun. I was going to write about the Student Association Senate, but that's boring, right? At least that's what SA Sen. Bill Kraemer seems to think since he reclined across a couple chairs and took a snooze during last week's meeting....

Whale rescue irony

November 15, 1988

What a nice story the rescue of the whales provided. Not only did it give us a chance to show that we really do care about our helpless friends, but also provided another opportunity to prove that we can cooperate with the Soviets. Doesn't it make us...

Prejudice must end

November 15, 1988

I realize Sean Noble's column of Oct. 27 was meant to be taken with some humor, but even in his light hearted manner he has shown a prejudice that needs to be ended. Phrases such as "...Godless Communists..." and "...pinkos..." are terribly narrow minded...

‘Two-faced logic’

November 15, 1988

After reading the Star editorial on Wednesday, Oct. 12, I had to look at the editorial masthead to see if the editorial board had changed overnight. The editorial stated that Huskie bus riders should pay their own fares, and students who don't need or...
