It would seem all of us men between the ages of 18 and 25 have something to fear these days. No, it's not colon-rectal cancer. And it's not bladder control problems. You probably won't be surprised to know who discovered this danger looming over us all....

I would like to comment on Mr. Gamble's response to a recent column on secular humanism. While I agree that the humanist manifestos profess a zealous base of faith, I do not agree that this base is religious. The crux of the issue lies in what constitutes...

In reference to an article concerning a press conference on Friday night, the article stated that a press conference was held by the "Residence Hall Association, Student Relations Coalition and Tenant Union." The views of the RHA itself were not being...

It has been said that overconfidence can be one's worst enemy. It spelled doom for the 1969 Baltimore Orioles, who boasted they would whip the Miracle Mets in the World Series and it might have cost Marvin Hagler his middleweight boxing title last week....

This letter is in reply to Jennifer "Buffy"Lundy's letter printed in the April 6 issue of The Northern Star. Well, Ms. Lundy, it's so nice of you to come forward and let everyone know that Ms. Fleischman's column was referring to sorority girls, seeing...

Kevin Sullivan's letter (March 18) on curing racism by abolishing student associations based on race and culture is a shoddy excuse for bigotry masquerading as logic. First he mistakes their membership composition as tantamount to being racist. These...

Parents of senior college students throughout the nation are facing a major dilemma this month. No, it's not menopause. This is much more serious. The concern is not whether their responsible offspring will pass their finals and/or suffer severe anxiety...
