I must respond to your rather cloudy, ignorant attack on CHANCE Director Leroy Mitchell in your July 27 editorial. The problem, you suggest, is that Mr. Mitchell has stirred some "controversy," and is perhaps trying to manage "too much" as both administrator...

First of all many thanks for the kind words regarding the national recognition received recently by the Office of Sports Information in the July 13 Star. However, a few of the things I said to Tom Clegg were, I believe, misinterpreted—particularly in...

A realtor representing the former Wurlitzer Corp. property said that although his firm has received several offers for the land, NIU remains the preferred potential tenant. Jonathon Miller, vice president of Equitable Real Estate Investment Management...

This spring neither our legislature nor our governor saw fit to actively pursue a tax increase to support higher education as well as many other social services. Although the General Assembly granted us a budget that contained enough money for a 5.7 percent...
