The question of people's voice in making decisions at NIU has come up once again. This time the question concerns members of the Campus Parking Committee. Chairman Robert Bornhuetter, Parking Manager Lynn Fraser and four NIU officials met absent the rest...

Illinois deserves a break, and the chance to become home for the proposed Superconducting Super Collider would be just the opportunity. With any change there is always the bad that needs to be taken along with the good. And in this situation the positive...

As a veteran of the U.S. Army, Airborne Infantry, I am somewhat confused about George Bush's claims to be strong on defense and experienced in foreign policy. Was it experience or a desire to be strong, that motivated this administration to send 241 Marines...

Today I think I'll pick on some radicals. Yea. This should be an easy one because lots of people think radicals are a bunch of ridiculous low-life scum anyway. Oh boy, I can see you conservatives starting to smirk already. "This Vogelsang clown has finally...
