- The culture of waiting (Dolores Diaz Viewpoint Copy Editor)
The University youth of today grow old in wait for tomorrow. Yes, contrary to our perpetual stereotype as "Generation X" with its emphasis on instant gratification, our culture, the University culture, waits. We are obsessed with our individual tomorrow's so much that we subject ourselves to an unlimited number of tortures — all endured for the sake of our own "future".

- 3 ways to lose your non-existent lover (Joanna Mikulski Tuesday Voice)
Another Valentine's Day has come and gone, and still I'm waiting for my roses. I'd take them in any color, although I find yellow or pink more thoughtful than the traditional red. However, despite my paltry demands, my crush has yet to send the flower deliveryman bounding up to my doorstep, bouquet in hand. In fact he hasn't sent anything at all, no truffles, no dinner invitations, not even a few lousy conversation hearts.
- What marathon running is (Laura Rompf Beyond the Bubble)
It's a cult. Sunday morning I learned that marathon running is a cult. From 12-year-olds who ran twice as fast as me to 60-year-olds that, well, ran twice as fast as me, there were thousands of people lined up on the streets of New Orleans ready to challenge themselves.
- A defense against allegations of unilateralism (Chris DesBarres senior)
The Bush administration has come under fire throughout its term for adopting unilateralism over multilateralism, thereby threatening international stability and the efficacy of American alliances. Two speeches, the West Point speech and the "axis of evil" speech, signaled to some a new doctrine of unilateral security. However it should be emphasized that President Bush did not signal a drastic new approach to American defense; rather he reiterated the common-sense notion that a state's primary function is to guarantee the safety and security of its citizens.
- Clarifying the meaning and spirit of V-Day (Lindsey Horvath junior)
I would like to thank both Melanie Becker and Terry McMannus for accomplishing the goal of "The Vagina Monologues" — continuing a dialogue that increases awareness in order to stop the violence. As director and campus organizer for "The Vagina Monologues" and V-Day, I am honored to work with so many vagina-loving students who are the true embodiment of Christ's message. Love your neighbor as yourself. These students could not carry out more Christian a mission.
- Notre Dame or MSU? (Chris Mackinder Michigan State student)

- Microphones mine a dreamy quarry (By BJ STREW Scene Music Critic)
On a campus homogenized in so many respects (Exhibit A: the pea coat), it is perhaps most dismally and most overtly so in the realm of music, causing many either to fall prey to acute angst or grow inured to the offal. But rest assured, there is an antidote for that angst. There is a light at the end of this long, dark, narrow tunnel: the independent record label.
- Broadway to the silver screen (By EMILY TUMBRINK Scene Music Critic)
One of the most daring motion picture releases of 2002, the movie-musical "Chicago" successfully makes the difficult transition from the stage to the silver screen. Firmly based on the musical by Fred Ebb, John Kander and Bob Fosse that was originally released in 1975 and returned to Broadway in 1996, the movie is a glossier version of the original, with flashy costumes and big name actors. One of the most distinct features of the movie is its seamless incorporation of the original Broadway music into the action of the plot mainly by converting the musical numbers into fantasy sequences that occur in the mind of Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger). Although we do not get a sense of this aspect of the movie from its soundtrack, the music is strong enough to stand on its own; listening to the soundtrack is nearly as enjoyable as watching the film itself.
