I could comment on many points made by Maria Kopriva in her letter addressing the way Phil Kessler serves the students. However, I will limit my response to her futile effort to attack his integrity. Her statement Phil "is too busy addressing the needs...

I know why Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and President Reagan got to work so quickly and signed the treaty yesterday. Neither of them really cares about nuclear missiles or arms reduction. I'd be surprised if they even really talked of those things....

It is interesting that Mr. Groenhagen completely missed the point of this "yahoo's" letter in response to Mike Lacy's Nov. 12 column. My point was simply this: If this country wants to honor its vets, it should stop killing them in useless imperialist...

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...

Billy Joel wrote a song a couple of years ago called, "You're Only Human—you're allowed to make your share of mistakes." As both the semester and calender year draw to a close, many people will choose to reflect on their humanness and possible changes...

This letter is in response to Jim McDermott's letter December 4. How dare you! You say that we should live as Jesus and "concern ourselves with confronting social and economic injustices...." One of the social injustices with which God concerns himself...

Ah, the last column of the semester. You don't know how happy this makes me—not to be writing for the last time, mind you, just to know that after this week and a few exams, it'll all be over. Until next semester that is. Unlike me, some of you lucky...

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 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...
