Inside
Viewpoint
- Our lives must be viewed as vocations (Todd Whitmore )
The most rewarding part of my work with the Concentration in Catholic Social Tradition is the group of students who have entered the program. I have been asked what characteristics, if any, these students share. They are a quite diverse group, running the full gamut of majors. Other than the fact that a good number come from western Pennsylvania (is it the Allegheny mountain air?), the quality that marks these students is that they view their anticipated professional lives — and their lives as a whole — as vocations.
- Relax more, stress less (Letter to the Editor )
I have walked into the dining hall to find today's sweet-n-sour chicken was yesterday's normal chicken and will become tomorrow's macaroni surprise. How do you get oily spaghetti noodles, rubber hamburgers and eternally dry rice? I will never be able to comprehend the workload at Notre Dame. Do the professor hold a conference in the fall and say, "Okay everybody, we've all decided the second week in November is a great time to have tests, papers, midterms, presentations and labs due." When it rains, it's a flashflood at Notre Dame and I am rarely wearing water wings.
- Don't judge the way others live (Letter to the Editor )
I would like to respond to Elizabeth Bauer and Katherine Hoppe's letter on the Jan. 27 on the issue of pre-marital sex.

- Gore focuses on family values (By KATE STEER Assistant News Editor)
