Junior Parent's Weekend is an extremely worthwhile way for Notre Dame students to share a moment with their parents and University officials. The events allow the University to promote itself, bring great pride to parents whose children are living the Notre Dame "experience" and give students the opportunity to showcase their collegiate lives to family and friends.

- Parietal priorities leave students little choice (Sarah Ryan senior)

Welcome to life at Notre Dame! Our campus is the home, sweet home of tradition, Abercrombie-clad boys and girls and perfectly manicured lawns. The cookie cutter status of our campus has been magnified by the recent Student Body president elections. With six tickets presenting relatively serious and realistic platforms, the student body has been deprived of the normal chuckles conjured by farcical candidacies.
