Inside
- Meatless Fridays (Mike Connolly Editor in Chief)
Ash Wednesday kicks off one of the most important and longest running traditions at Notre Dame and Saint Mary's. No, I am not talking about Lent. Preparing for the remembrance of the death and resurrection of Christ is surely important but doesn't seemed to incite the passion and debate that this other tradition does. Ash Wednesday is the official start to the "Complain about not having meat in the dining halls on Fridays" season.
Viewpoint
- Comments on Israeli conflict Israel and Palestine both to blame (James Andry senior)
I am writing this letter in response to Seth Hiland's Feb. 11 letter entitled, "Arafat should not be tolerated." I do agree that Arafat should not be tolerated and that his actions have proven that he is an ineffective leader in the peace process. However, Mr. Hiland's view on the situation as a whole is disturbing. He cites that the "number of Israelis killed by Arab terrorists in the years since the Oslo Accords has been higher than in the 10 years prior."
- Comments on Israeli conflict America can strongly influence the Middle East (Rachel Smith senior)
It is rare to see an American give honest appraisal of Israel's strategy in the ongoing Israeli and Palestinian conflict. In his Feb. 5 letter entitled, "U.S. Middle-East policy dangerously unbalanced," Tony Lusvardi gave us that, showing that Israel has done much in recent months to stoke the violence, that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has consistently pursued a strategy designed escalate the conflict into full-scale war and that a more balanced U.S. policy would serve both American and Middle Eastern interests. On Feb. 11, we saw a response from Seth Hiland, applauding America's one-sided approach. His letter essentially boiled down to one point: Palestinians have also done bad things.
- Paying tribute to black innovators and inventors (Elizabeth Simpson What's Your Shade?)
It's that time of year again when walls are filled with colorful decorations in the elementary schools around the country. No, unfortunately I am not talking about Valentine's Day, but rather Black History Month. Yes, it's that time of year, 28 days when blacks are actually recognized for having some influence in this country. Twenty-eight days for teachers to pack all the information into their restless students' minds that they can about blacks in the United States.
