- Responding to SMC pro-choice sponsorship Trip to Washington supports an immoral cause (Eric Glass Class of 2000)
Sometimes you hear that there are terrible problems in Catholic higher education, but then you read about something like the women from across the road who were flown to Washington, D.C. to support the brutal and gruesome destruction of innocent unborn children.
- Responding to SMC pro-choice sponsorship Questioning College's Catholic identity (Heidi Wilbershied co-president)
Saint Mary's claims that it fosters an environment of intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth.

- State of the Union serves up something for everyone (Gary Caruso )
Perched atop a national stage at the State of the Union joint session of Congress this week, President George Bush delivered a dramatic yet somber message that could be characterized as a tale of two nations. Sounding like a Democrat during the first half of the speech, Bush called for more spending on mentoring for children of prisoners, AIDS medications for Africa, alternative fuel-driven automobile technology and prescription drug health insurance programs for senior citizens. On the turn of a dime, Bush returned to his conservative roots by calling for further tax reductions and continued his justification for an attack Iraq.
- Alcohol laws save lives (Michael Romano junior)
I can understand Juan Bernal's frustration, expressed in his Jan. 28 letter, with laws prohibiting alcohol to people under 21. They are hypocritical, but they are hardly sterile, worthless or counterproductive. Last year I might have made the same arguments as he made, but a little research convinced me otherwise.
- Seize the chance to voice opinions (Observer Editorial )
Perhaps it is because the weather is not favorable to sidewalk chalk wars. Perhaps it is because the football season has ended. Whatever the reason, cheers to Air Force ROTC, the College Democrats, the College Republicans, Notre Dame United Muslim Organization, Pax Christi and the Peace Coalition for their collective effort to raise discussion at Monday's panel about the Iraq situation.

- Dining hall T-shirts espouse rivalry (By MATT BRAMANTI News Writer)

- The Keenan Revue Residents expand their humor in the Revue's 27th year onstage (By MARIA SMITH Scene Editor)
When people think college humor, they think of lewd, obnoxious, off-the-wall crotch-thrusting raucous fun. The Keenan Revue offers all of the above, and more besides. The skits, written by Keenan Hall residents, contain comedic insight on national security and religion lodged between parietals jokes and beer bashes.
- InFocus Conference The 2nd Annual Conference aims to promote awareness of Asian Issues (By CHRISTIE BOLSEN Scene Writer)
Here at Notre Dame, a mere 4 percent of undergraduates are Asian or Pacific Islanders. With that in mind, a conference held to address Asian and Asian American issues might appear to speak to a miniscule fraction of the student body. However, the sponsors of the 2nd Annual InFocus Conference hope to connect with all students who feel that diversity is a concern and priority — a much higher percentage than that 4 percent.
