- Reality of Heartland (Kiflin Turner Associate News Editor)
The biting cold and the faint throbs of Kylie's, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" were some of the last things that I remember while braving the unnecessarily long wait outside of Heartland last Thursday night. And then of course, something else happened that would vividly stand out in my mind— seeing my friend publicly and cruelly humiliated because of ignorance.

- Discrimination in the heart of our town (Kristine M. Rosario senior)
In the 21st century many would like to believe that our society has made some progress against intolerance and racial discrimination. Like many, I believed this to be true. But after last Thursday night I now realize that there is still a long way to go in the advancement of equality and tolerance.
- Abortion is an immoral choice (Brian Noonan law student)

- Economics split unfair (Mary Ursu freshman)

- Title IX isn't about equal opportunity (Tom McTaggart junior)
Lost in the wake of other prominent national events was the presidential commission on Title IX's failure to address several major problems it has caused over the last 30 years. I fully support equality, but Title IX isn't creating the equal opportunity it professes.
- A eulogy for the Boat Club (Jacqueline Browder Happily Ever After)
Although the ultimate fate of the Boat Club has yet to be determined, it is only fitting that such a hallowed part of the Notre Dame experience receive a proper farewell in light of recent excise events. So, before the music turns off and the lights turn on for good, let us take a moment to remember that place we fondly referred to as "The Boat."
