We are writing in response to a letter written by someone who was upset with having their books and term paper stolen from the front of Village Commons Bookstore, where all students must leave their belongings. We'd like to let students know the Holmes...

As an educator and life-long student, I'm familiar with the process of choosing individual class projects. Many suggested projects are rather boring and repetitious. I would like to suggest a project that can be adapted to most college courses and also...

After an extensive review of the athletic administration, the decison not to renew the contract of volleyball coach Herb Summers is particularly disturbing. During his tenure, Coach Summers has developed a program with a record comparable, if not superior,...

Last spring I transferred to NIU from a small community college. Typically, I didn't know what to expect. I saw racist flyers posted on the buses, heard people shouting slurs from a pick-up truck during the Rev. Jesse Jackson's visit and read about NIU...

Recently, the procedures by which the Campus Security Advisory Board is being run has been criticized by The Northern Star and by some CSAB members, including myself. Gosh, perhaps we all have been a bit hasty in judging as reflections of laziness, incompetence...

This regards the comments in Theron Moore's rebuttal to the article on a concert at Rockford's Metro Centre. First, you say that members of REO Speedwagon and the Royal Court of China aren't "rock stars." Okay. How about if we just call them musicians?...

I am writing in response to Theron Moore's letter on Dec. 10. This is not directed at the main point of Mr. Moore's letter, but at his derogatory comment regarding Rockford. Mr. Moore states that Rockford is a "festering hell-hole." I find this comment...
