- The power of your vote (John Bauters Letter to the editor)
Today is the run-off election for the 2001 Student Body President/Vice President race. When I took on the job of elections commissioner a year ago, there was a great deal of skepticism and doubt about the value of student government and the quality of the elections process here at Notre Dame. Over the past year, Judicial Council and I have worked to provide the students with the best possible atmosphere for an election.
- Complaining just for sake of it (Jeremy Slater Letter to the editor)
Another issue of The Observer, another batch of startling philosophical insights into the human psyche. Needless to say, I await each new Viewpoint section of The Observer with breathless anticipation, because, as a typical Notre Dame student, I'm utterly incapable of believing anything that hasn't been handed down to me by the Church or the Administration.
- Valentine's Day is a good day for the vagina (Kimmi Martin Letter to the editor)
I will never forget this time last year walking into my residence hall and noticing the huge sign on the door spelling out the word "vagina" in bright bold letters. Shocked and a little disturbed, as many were, I proceeded to go to class and passed numerous women with T-shirts on that said on the front "V-A-G-I-N-A," on the back were the words, "It's coming." It was only later that I found out what all of this about.
- Finding the folly in parietals (Thomas Pariso Letter to the Editor)
On Saturday night, I went to a party with a lady friend of mine. Rather than get sloppy like most of the other partygoers, we left the party and went back to my room to watch some Austin Powers. We got back to my room a little after one in the morning. We started watching the movie, and then all of a sudden, the lights went out; the lights in the hallway that is. Turning off the hallway lights is the intercampus symbol that boys and girls are no longer allowed to play together. At this point, Dr. Evil had not even expressed the inconsequential details of his life and I realized something that a lot of students have probably noticed at this same time: Parietals suck.
- Quote of the Day (Mick Jagger musician)
"It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back."

- PlanetIrish.com provides diverse links, services Student-run site overshadowed by other online media (By NATE PHILLIPS News Writer)
Largely unknown to the Notre Dame student body, the University-sanctioned Web site Planet Irish may be a diamond in the rough. Deeply shadowed by such prominent sites as NDToday and the Notre Dame homepage, PlanetIrish.com serves as a student-run online community that offers many links and resources.

- Culligan discusses Super Bowl ads (By CECILIA OLECK News Writer)
An estimated 46 million people watched the Super Bowl this year and not all of those people were paying attention to the game. The Super Bowl is as important to advertisers as it is to football fanatics.

- Hopkins is on the loose in `Hannibal' (By V. VAN BUREN GILES Scene Movie Critic)
"Hello, Clariiice." Yep, he's back again and this time he's not just a bit player. The new Ridley Scott film "Hannibal," based on Thomas Harris's novel of the same name, was the big winner at the box office this weekend as people flocked to the theater to get a taste, so to speak, of the chilling cannibalistic psychiatrist that terrified audiences in 1991's "The Silence of the Lambs."
- `Goodfellas' depicts 30 years of life in the mafia (By MATT NANIA Scene Movie Editor)
The success of Martin Scorsese's stunning Mafia epic "Goodfellas" is twofold. First, he makes a strong argument for why a gangster's life of crime and violence would be so tantalizing to the film's central character; and secondly, he portrays how that life paid off for a while, but eventually led to his self destruction and the destruction of all those around him. Indeed, the film's main strength lies in Scorsese's ability to make the Mafia life completely appealing and completely repulsive at the same time.
