I would like to respond to Dan Taylor's Dec. 3 letter. Mr. Taylor, either you didn't realize the magnitude of what you were saying, or you have some severe problems you should probably get help for. You obviously have had negative experiences with women...

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...

The push for a new NIU constitution has been in progress for most of this semester, yet the ramifications and even the details of the proposed changes to the document have remained fuzzy at best. What is alarming is that the changes now are scheduled...

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...

After reading the article in the Star on Nov. 30 about a stray dog who bit four people, I am totally disgusted and outraged! Sure, there are a lot of stray animals running around this campus, but did you ever notice that this is always happening around...

When I first sat down to write a letter to the editor, I was puzzled. I didn't know if I wanted to express my feelings about the small section devoted to the late Mayor Harold Washington or express my feelings concerning his sudden and unexpected death....

Dave Bensinger's letter to the Star published on Nov. 30 touched me deeply—so deeply I thought I would offer to begin a fund so Mr. Bensinger could retire from this community and play with his new group, S.P.U.D.S, in a place where he wouldn't be bothered...

The Dec. 3 editorial has to be the best explanation of why we have general education course requirements that I have read. Indeed, there have been lots of letters printed in The Northern Star regarding the uselessness of gen. ed. courses. But, I have...
