In her Dec. 3 letter Ms. Kopriva implied that I don't care about the students' needs. Examples of mine and the SAMTB's recent responses to requests from the community are: a new stop at Lincoln Hwy. and Normal Rd. on Rt. 8 to better serve students at...

After reading the letter writen by Rich Schuch, commenting on Gretchyn Lenger's column, we felt that since rape is such an awful crime another response was in order. With the events that have transpired at NIU, the fear of rape has increased. We feel...

When I got backstage passes for REO Speedwagon's Thursday performance at the Rockford MetroCenter, I never thought I'd end up partying with them until 4 a.m. The whole night for me, and our photographer Jeff, surpassed the high expectations I already...

Were the senators drunk again when they voted against funding for a UPI news wire at WKDI? Maybe they were just stupid. Well, put on your thinking caps, senators. Would the FCC give WKDI a license to go on the air without a news wire? No. WKDI is competing...

The push for a new NIU constitution has been in progress for most of this semester, yet the ramifications and even the details of the proposed changes to the document have remained fuzzy at best. What is alarming is that the changes now are scheduled...

Fundamentalist Christians very rarely write to tell us about the many statements by Christianity's Founder which oppose all discrimination, oppression and bigotry. Like the powerful religious leaders who executed Jesus 2,000 years ago, they are obsessed...

The Star's story on the Montgomery renovation needs clarification—otherwise it is a fine story, and I compliment you on it. President LaTourette and Provost Baker are quoted as saying the Montgomery renovation is being done to accommodate the Plant...

Dave Bensinger's letter to the Star published on Nov. 30 touched me deeply—so deeply I thought I would offer to begin a fund so Mr. Bensinger could retire from this community and play with his new group, S.P.U.D.S, in a place where he wouldn't be bothered...
