This letter is in response to "Rock stars are real people, too." First of all, I'd like to point out that in no way are REO Speedwagon or Royal Court of China rock stars. They are merely images that appeal to image-oriented people. Second of all, I found...

For those of you who have never been subjected to the process, (of being released fom a housing contract) you have missed a beautiful, interpersonal experience with a winning set of insensitive people. Ater you have completed your housing contract release...

I have read both of Jim McDermott's letters that have appeared recently in the Northern Star. In an attempt to defend homosexuality, he has carefully avoided the issue of whether it is morally right or wrong. Instead, he has attacked society, charging...

Shades of Gray Why can't we see through shades of gray? Why is God so cruel? Why is the world ignorant? Why can't we see through shades of gray? What is South Africa? What is prejudice? Maybe it's just people who haven't seen through shades of gray. Will...

In her Dec. 3 letter Ms. Kopriva implied that I don't care about the students' needs. Examples of mine and the SAMTB's recent responses to requests from the community are: a new stop at Lincoln Hwy. and Normal Rd. on Rt. 8 to better serve students at...
