Kevin knew Rachel really liked him. He liked her a lot. They met at a mixer and it seemed like one of those "sure things." They danced, had a few drinks and exchanged more than a few "meaningful" looks. When Kevin suggested they leave to get a bite to...

Five members of the Board of Regents went to NIU's football game in Las Vegas last weekend. Their trip was paid for by the NIU Foundation, which is funded by private donations. The Student Regents from Sangamon State University and Illinois State University...

This is in response to the Northern Star article Nov 30. by Jim Wozniak concerning an NIU athlete and what he called "terrorism." Our question is: Why must you dwell upon negative past events involving NIU athletes? On more than a few occasions you have...
