NIU is ‘committeed out’ on ad hocs, task forces

March 29, 1988

NIU is confronted daily with different issues. Some of them require much thought and effort, such as academic programs, security policies in the bookstore and tuition increases. Others need little debate, such as which former bigwig deserves to have a...

Thunderbolt latest rage in ‘junk mail’

March 28, 1988

Most people have experienced to some degree the frustration of being subjected to receiving reams of "junk mail." Everything from sweepstakes entries requiring a purchase to enter—and which no one ever seems to win—to offers of cheap life insurance...

Forget baking cookies; let’s talk turbo engines

March 28, 1988

You know, it's not too unusual, in this happy, congenial world we live in, for two columnists at the same newspaper to have completely and utterly dissimilar opinions on the same topic. Such is the case that I am hereby faced with. Last Wednesday, my...

There is precedent

March 28, 1988

Recently, NIU's Latino student movement was told that there was no precedent for their demand for 50 percent student representation on the search committee looking for a permanent director for the Center for Latino and Latin American Studies. I would...

Negative attitude

March 28, 1988

In response to the letter from David Pierce and Margaret Price on March 1, 1988: we would like to know if your article was a joke. You complain about the high cost of tuition, yet you want "low-rise dorms with Spanish-style roofs." Are you on drugs? Who...

SA needs humor

March 25, 1988

Support Radtke

March 25, 1988

As the executive elections for the Student Association approach, students should make themselves aware of the positions being sought and those candidates with the necessary qualifications. The office of president, in particular, requires a great amount...

Radtke merits top spot

March 25, 1988

Of the three candidates for Student Association President, Paula Radtke is the most qualified. Radtke has been extensively involved with the SA at various levels for two years. This year she served as public relations adviser, an executive board position....

Bliss committed to quality

March 25, 1988

Greg Bliss is the sole candidate for Student Association Vice President. Though not a particularly charismatic speaker, Bliss is very articulate and is considerably more informed on the issues than are some other candidates for executive offices. An SA...

Most crucial issue was left unsettled

March 25, 1988

The Board of Regents took some big steps toward sending the appropriate message to Springfield this week. However, their job is not finished, yet. The Regents discussed the issues of a tuition increase and a tax hike along with other orders of business....

Help prevent STDs

March 25, 1988

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are one of the most important health topics on the college campus today. The spread of AIDS and the serious incidence of chlamydia, herpes and gonorrhea make it imperative for students who are sexually active to be...

Eminent domain

March 25, 1988

A great deal of noise has been made over the infringement on individual rights by one or another foreign government. It is therefore important we do not overlook basic rights being waived aside here in DeKalb on what may become part of our campus. I refer...
