Calling for an end

October 28, 2007

By Lisa Newman You could see the sign from hundreds of feet away. "Troops Out Of Iraq Now," it read. Rainbow colored banners with the word peace on them billowed. It may have felt a little like d'eacute;j

Column: Football team brings Husky spirit

October 27, 2007

Picture this: Centennial Commons filled with "tailgaters" eating burgers and swigging down Cokes. Then they leave for a football game. After a few minutes walk they are in their seats cheering on the team. A student could wake up, dress in red and black, jog to the stadium,...

Animals meant for dinner ‘suffer greatly’

October 27, 2007

I enjoyed reading about Northeastern students attending the Boston Vegetarian Festival ("Vegetarians pitch healthy alternatives," Oct. 22). Students across the country are eliminating or reducing the amount of animal products in their diets due to concerns about factory farms....

SEXcapades pushes borders of decency

October 27, 2007

In the 1984 film "This Is Spinal Tap," a fictional reviewer describes band members David, Derek and Nigel as "treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry." Based on recent submissions published in The News' SEXcapades column, the same can be said for the student...

Honey bees threatened by colony death

October 27, 2007

I found Erin Oliveri's recent All Hail ("Meat-lovers far from inferior," Oct. 25) both lacking introspection and disturbingly naive. With just a small amount of research, Oliveri would have discovered that honey bees are currently dying off at extraordinary rates, due to a phenomenon...

Student weighs possible football cut

Homecoming Weekend on high school and college campuses is time designated for students, faculty and alumni to show pride in their respective institutions. Though at times it shares the stage with other events, the Homecoming football game is generally one of the centerpieces...

Northeastern’s arm of the law is too long

October 27, 2007

Everyone is subject to the law of the land they stand on, and when someone leaves, that person is no longer held to those laws. This concept is simple, and one in which most everyone abides. Unfortunately for Northeastern students, this does not apply.

Letter to the Editor: Vegetarian living ‘easier than ever’

October 24, 2007

In response to your article "Vegetarians pitch healthy alternatives" (Oct. 22), it was very encouraging to see so much support for animal-free products at the Boston Vegetarian Festival this past weekend, and an article about it. The popularity of vegetarian foods has grown...

Letter to the Editor: NU should support Husky athletics

October 24, 2007

It is truly incredible how much the Northeastern administration underestimates the power of college sports. For years now, the constant threat of cutting sports programs, football in particular, has been lingering over the heads of our players and coaches, adding a sense of vulnerability...

Restaurant Review: North End cuisine in the Fenway area

October 24, 2007

By Andrew Berlanstein Northeastern students no longer have to trek to the North End in order to get authentic, hearty Italian food. Trattoria Toscana is just a five minute walk from campus across The Fenway. When the time comes this autumn to impress someone special, whether...

Faith dialogues find home

October 24, 2007

By Rachel Zarrell A club originally created as a diversity council has evolved this year into an outlet for interfaith communication on campus. The Multi-Faith Student Connection Group has been in the works for a few years, as a place to have interfaith dialogues, said Shelli...
