If you had a choice between this column, a stuffed pizza, or sex, what would you pick? As much as my ego would love to believe my columns rate way up there with what's said to be one of the top three pleasures of human existence, most of you probably...

I enjoy reading Dave Tuley's column in the Star, but he recently made a comment to which I feel I must respond. The remark was made in his column of Wednesday, Jan. 28 as he somewhat begrudgingly congratulated the New York Giants on their Super Bowl triumph...

Last Sunday as I was driving home listening to WLS, I heard one of the DJs say something that summed up the longing a lot of us now have for successful national leadership with integrity and control. The DJ was reading her daily list of that day's birthdays...

It is estimated that in just three years, 12.5 million Americans may be infected with AIDS. Even more disturbing is that the Federal Centers for Disease Control now estimate that by 1991, more than 12,000 children will have been diagnosed as having AIDS...

Many students are concerned about where their student fees go. Contrary to what some believe, not all student fees are piddled away by administrators. The Student Association Recycling Station is one example of well-spent student fees. There are many...
