Perhaps the best way to honor the memory of someone who has died is to try to emulate the positive qualities that person exuded. Friends of Karri Boty described her in the Sept. 19 issue of The Northern Star as someone that wanted to befriend everyone....

As a former senator myself from Triton College in River Grove, I'd like to applaud Vice-President Greg Bliss and the Student Association. The organization saw a problem, unequal representation in the senate, so they decided to take immediate action; Blame...

DeKalb Circuit Court Judge Douglas Engel will render a decision Tuesday in the bench trial of Robert Morley, the man accused of harassing NIU Judicial Office Director Larry Bolles by telephone. In closing remarks, First Assistant State's Attorney Michael...
