I don't get it. Human nature never ceases to baffle me. The NIU Huskies have finally made a major breakthrough, winning against a Big Ten school for the first time in this university's history, and some people have already been complaining that the victory...

The Student Association's handling of the loss of two megaphones checked out for use in the spring's Day of Action can be called careless at best. The megaphones, valued at $290, disappeared after the event, and now nobody seems to know who is to blame...

Last week I lamented the media's poor coverage of the Olympic games and the overkill of such mundane subjects as politics, but I've got to slightly renege on my complaint this week. Forget Greg Louganis, Seoul and the shotput...just for a while. The biggest...

Testimony in the bench trial of a man accused of harassing NIU Judicial Office Director Larry Bolles by telephone is scheduled to continue Friday at 1:30 p.m. Robert Morley, 49, 925 Susan Court, was charged with harassment by telephone, a Class B misdemeanor,...

Hats off to the 1988 NIU football team! They made history last Saturday in defeating UWM in Madison. When I first came to DeKalb in 1977, nobody believed NIU would ever be capable of beating a big 10 football team. Progress may have been slow, but we...

If McPaper wasn't enough of a disgrace to the world of journalism, then McTV certainly is enough to push all media credibility over the brink. Catering to America's get-it-to-me-as-fast-as-you-can attitude, some bright spark came up with the idea to push...

We recently made the sad mistake of reading a copy of the three sheet newspaper "They said it couldn't be done", published by the Freak Power Caucus (FPC) and hand distributed in the Martin Luther King Commons on Sept. 12. We have never read a more pathetic...

Try as you might, you can't legislate against idiocy and other mental deficiencies. But that's just what the gun-control lobbyists recently tried to do when they pushed for a mandatory nationwide one week waiting period between the time a firearm is purchased...

The Student Association Election Commission has not tallied the votes submitted in Tuesday's senate election, but will begin determining the results once polls close at 7 p.m. today. Students with an NIU identification and a fall semester schedule can...

Last weekend I finally escaped from the walls of the newsroom long enough to actually forget the daily spazzing out, yelling, deadlines and seemingly endless nights of double vision from computer-terminal burnout. But taking my mind off of work was not...
