    • Catholics vs. sport utilities (Todd David Whitmore The Common Good)
      Yesterday I returned to my car, a Suburu Impreza, to find two gouged troughs — each about a foot long and denting in about three inches deep — on the hood. They are the tell-tale marks of the undercarriage of the sport utility vehicle or "SUV" which was previously parked in front of me and which had obviously backed up too far, a good distance too far. So much for the vaunted visibility that SUV's offer their drivers.

    • Iraqi conflict is not over (Letter to the Editor )
      January 16 marked the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the war against Iraq, a solemn day indeed. It is made even more solemn by the fact that that war has never ended. The U.S. has never stopped its military campaign against Iraq, and continues to bomb Iraq to this day. Even Iran, Iraq's sworn enemy, opposes the U.S. bombing campaign. This campaign of violence and death is being carried out without United Nations authorization or a declaration of war against Iraq by the U.S. It is also in violation of the Catholic Just War theory and therefore immoral.
    • Freshman folly (Letter to the Editor )
      A few days ago I finally learned the true meaning of the phrase "freshman mistake." I guess after a successful first semester I thought I might be immune to such tragedies, but unfortunately I was caught when I least expected it. I am still kind of new to the whole buying your own textbooks process, so when I heard that the bookstore will purchase your old books from you I thought it was a great idea.
