The Importance of Veteran's Day
BY JENNIFER HEIM, STAFFWRITER
Veteran's Day. To many student's
here at Northern, this day means just
a day off from class. That's it. But
what is Veteran's Day? It must have
some kind of valid reason for being
declared a federal holiday, right?
As some of you may (or may not)
remember from previous history
classes, Veteran's Day began as Ar-mistice
Day. It is the agreed date of
peace at the end of the first World
War. On the eleventh hour of the
eleventh day of the eleventh month
(November 11, 1918), World War I
ended.
Over the years it has evolved into
more of a commemorative event to
honor and show thanks to our
country's veterans, not only World
War I vets, but veterans from all the
wars. To Neil Jensen, a junior at
NSU who served in Desert Storm,
Veteran's Day is "A day set aside to
honor those who served in the mili-tary
and their accomplishments."
"It's to show how many veterans
there are, and to give back to the veter-ans
what they gave for us," said Dan
Frevert, a sophomore who has served
at Panama and in Desert Storm. Frevert
and Jensen, who can be found in the
Veteran's Affairs office, went on to
say that it is a day for unit reunions,
getting together for a day and sharing
memories, seeing how one another is
doing, and so on. Once you get to-gether
in a military unit and fight to
protect your country, "a special bond is
formed and it's something you don't
want to lose," Frevert said.
With that established, how do some
other Northern students feel about
Veteran's Day? "Not much, since
I'm not a vet," said Dwayne Wilson,
a sophomore. Jerry Palmer, gradu-ate,
and Marie Foss, sophomore, both
agreed that it is "a day to respect all
service people, not just those who
served in wars."
Steph Boykin, ajunior, replied that
Veteran's Day is "a time that we
honor those who fought for our free-dom
and our country. It's especially
important to me because my father is
a veteran. All veterans deserve to be
honored."
We should take time out this year
to appreciate our veterans. Everyone
knows at least one veteran and maybe
we should let our fathers, brothers,
cousins, uncles and anyone else we
know that served in a war, that we
respect them and thank them for pro-tecting
us. But I know many of us
agree with David Borowski, a fresh-man,
"It should be on Monday or
Friday!"

They did what?!
BY ANN VIDOLOFF, STAFFWRITER
For the November 5 Student Senate meeting, the earth was
moved, huge policies were set into motion, and President
Sutton entertained the media with a belly dance in a purple tutu.
Of course this didn't really happen at all, because this
meeting was more of a formality meeting, where certain
policies needed to be acknowledged before voting, and future
events were tentatively scheduled. Congratulations go to Tay-lor
Oster, the new senator from Steele Hall, who was inducted
at this meeting.
Senator Mitzel reviewed the results of the meeting held with
Wayne Fischer, Director of the Physical Plant. Senator Brist
recalled a similar-sounding conversation with Pollworth about
the plight of the "What's Up."
Senator Mikkonen relayed the idea that some students who
smoke are considering purchasing a building off campus that
would be available for
STUDENT SENATE smoking purposes.
There will be lots of
construction occurring
on the second floor of the Student Union. Eventually, Bob
Courtney, Director of Student Development and Residence
Life, Mike Breitner, Director of Student Activities, and the SA
president and vice-president's offices will all be located in one
common area where the SA lounge and Non-Traditional
offices are currently located.
DACOTAH HALL IS OPEN! This was probably one of the
most discussed topics at this meeting. Tuesday and Thursday
nights from 6 to 7 p.m. McWelsh hall will be sponsoring
aerobics at Dacotah hall. The Senate also approved $100 to buy
some equipment such as basketballs to be used in the gym. This
is the opportunity for all of you couch potatoes to turn into
potatoes julienne.
Marcia Martz, assistant hall director for Jerde Hall and
graduate student, was present at this meeting on behalf of the
graduate students. It is a little known fact that there are over 200
graduate students on this campus, all with the potential to
become greatly involved in campus organizations and deci-sions.
She is hoping to restart the Graduate Student Senate,
and get more graduate students involved on campus.
Tentative dates were discussed for SHED (Students in
Higher Education) Days. The motion to elect three more uni-versity
senators, and to appoint another faculty member to
SBAC was read, and will be voted on at the next meeting. If the
motion for senate expansion passes, the petitions will be
opened on November 16 and voted on in December.
Sometimes Senate meetings are work and technicalities, but
these are necessary to have the more exciting ones as well.
