Nature stole memory but not relative’s love

July 6, 1988

She doesn't remember my name. Mother Nature stole her mind. Dear ole Mother Nature ensnared my grandma's mind and has been gnawing on her mentality ever since. Her wrinkles still crinkle when she smiles and says "I love you honey," but I know her mental...

Tax increase good for city, university

April 1, 1988

The DeKalb Chamber of Commerce deserves a bit of praise and some gentle prodding now they have realized higher education budget woes affect more than just NIU. Chamber members, such as President Tim Lehan, are at last coming to grips with the fact less...

Duke will win it all

April 1, 1988

I disagree with Dave Tuley on the NCAA Final Four outcome. Arizona "comatose"? C'mon! A team does not go 6-0 against Big Ten teams and 2-0 against the best of the ACC to reach the Final Four just to become comatose. I agree the match-up is a dandy, but...

‘Prevent a Litter’

In your face people, I’ve had enough foolishness

April 1, 1988

I've had it. No turning back now. Your friendly neighborhood columnist is quitting, effective at the end of this week's episode. Of course, there will be a messy period of litigation as I force the Star to let me out of my contract. Unless, in some tacky...

Work on employment law before seeking job

April 1, 1988

The following discussion focuses on two areas of the employer-employee relationship where problems are commonplace: the prompt payment of wages and the payment of minimum wage and overtime pay. Other aspects of the law relating to employment, including...

Grammar important

April 1, 1988

I recently had the unexpected pleasure of being on the receiving end of a distribution of anti-racist literature. Some guy with long, black hair, a worn leather jacket and dark sunglasses (who could that have been?) handed me a pleasant piece titled,...

No skeletons here

April 1, 1988

In a recent column that appeared in The Northern Star, Mr. Wozniak reminded us how television evangelists have failed miserably. In a day when everything seems to be failing, including preachers and religion, it seems that there is nothing or no one we...

Committed to all

March 30, 1988

I've had the opportunity to work with Paula Radtke this past year as a friend and fellow SA executive staff member. She has worked unceasingly for the interests of students in many areas this year, specifically on the issue of higher education funding....

Tower’s purpose

March 30, 1988

What effect does a new tower at the Holmes Student Center have on NIU? Is it supposed to impress the students and faculty or give some modern prestige to the campus? The school was courteous enough to ask us to vote on which tower design we liked best...

Political debate

March 30, 1988

A debate Wednesday at 9 p.m. will feature the presidents of NIU College Republicans and Young Democrats who will discuss U.S. involvement in Honduras, the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty, the government's role in supplying and financing education...
