It is so unfortunate that every time I am asked to make a comment about an issue for the Northern Star, the comment is NEVER delivered to the reading audience in the context that it was presented to the writer of the article. The information that appears...

I am responding to the article by Matt James on Feb. 4th about AIDS tests. I have called the Star to find out what Matt's sources were for his article, but they were not available. I would like to relieve the fears of those students who are required by...

The Student Committee for Animal Welfare (SCAW) would like to take the opportunity to clarify numerous misconceptions about our organization and Greenpeace. On Friday, Jan. 29, The Northern Star misquoted SCAW co-president, Michelle Drewes, as saying...

Every graduate student at NIU should be outraged at the latest parking proposal reported in the February 9th issue of the Northern Star. The latest proposal to take away what little parking is issued to graduate students will not solve any of the parking...

I would like to register some of my reasons for opposing the proposed package of amendments to the university constitution. I have elected not to spend my efforts on praising (the suggested changes that would be positive), as they are only the expected...

In the Feb. 9th issue of The Northern Star, there is an article concerning parking changes. The three lots that graduate students SHARE with staff/faculty will be changed to staff/faculty only and grad students will be given yellow permits. The new tax...

I experienced considerable pain when I read Gretchyn Lenger's Feb. 4 column because I felt it was grossly unfair. The University Health Service makes a great effort to be responsible, responsive and caring. We have multiple channels by which students...

I speak to you as a student with great concern about decisions being made by university administrators which will effect all of us. I speak of the parking crisis. The Ad Hoc Parking Committee is making short-term decisions for a problem which needs long-term...
