Magical Matthews sparks NU upset again

February 20, 2003

There's just something about Matthew's Arena, isn't there? After all, it seems every time a top-ranked and highly touted team enters the building, they run into trouble. Last Saturday, against sixth ranked New Hampshire was no different. For the sixth consecutive time (dating...

Ethnic cleansing does exist

February 20, 2003

In the Jan. 29 issue of The News a student named Mohammad Junaid Alam made some harsh accusations in his piece "Freedom for Palestine" against my country, Israel, and its people. Alam's piece is a shameless collection of lies and distortions designed to demonize Jews while...

Women’s hockey bears all against Maine

February 20, 2003

By Bradley Rosenberg The Northeastern women's hockey team traded wins with the Maine Black Bears over the weekend with a 3-2 victory on Saturday and a 2-1 overtime loss on Sunday. The games, which both took place at the Matthews Arena, were critical as the squad approaches the...

A case of the NU shuffle

February 20, 2003

Northeastern was undoubtedly the best school that I got accepted to. Boston had always been a dream for me ever since I was young. It was just one visit with my parents that made me see the beauty of this admittedly great city. Here I am now in Boston, a cold, cold, city this...

Huskies drop two conference games on the road

February 20, 2003

By Joseph Rubin Traveling to Burlington, Vt. last Saturday, the women's basketball team learned about what winter was, and how to handle a storm, being thrown into the middle of one, and struggling to get out. The Huskies fell to Vermont, 76-65. The Catamounts took an astounding...

The color orange

February 20, 2003

You'd think we would be terrified. Yet, some of us are immune to it. Some of us are running to create bomb shelters while others read the papers figuring it's all a hoax. It doesn't matter where we are, east or west coast. The United States or England. We're more annoyed than...

Men’s hoop miss point, but still torch Catamounts

February 20, 2003

By Max Lederman Instead of the Northeastern men's basketball team folding under the pressure of playing the America East's second place team without their star point guard and leading scorer Jose Juan Barea, they handed the Vermont Catamounts a 76-59 thrashing. Senior guard...

Blood, thicker than oil?

February 20, 2003

I am writing to the NU community to raise some questions about the possible war on Iraq. I hope through this to incite some reasoning among readers, as well as to establish some of my personal views. Moreover, I hope to begin a debate over this issue - one which would bring further...

Everhart has hoops program back on track

February 20, 2003

It's a simple philosophy, but one that escapes many players. It's a little thing called hard work and attention to detail. But Northeastern basketball coach Ron Everhart can safely say that not only has his team bought into the idea, but they have embraced it and, in the process,...

Follow the leader

February 20, 2003

Rather than refute Bradley Rosenberg's argument in favor of the draft (The other America, Feb. 12) I would like to simply turn our attention to the leaders of our nation and their treatment of the draft. Surely, those of you who wave flags and have God Bless America stickers,...

NU listening to Colonial Athletic Association overtures

February 20, 2003

In a season that has been more "As the World Turns" than "Hoosiers," the men's basketball team has had another wrench thrown in what has been a turbulent, yet successful basketball campaign. The Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) has made overtures to Northeastern's athletics...
