- Voting for no one (Finn Pressly Senior Staff Writer)
As a lifetime resident of Palm Beach County, I consider myself an expert on ballots and elections in general. By unofficial count, there are about two dozen of us from Palm Beach County currently on campus, but even if all of us managed to vote incorrectly (and I'm marginally sure I did it right), that doesn't come close to explaining why 55 people on this campus didn't vote correctly in Thursday's student body election.

- Worker's rights need recognition (Aaron Kreider Think, Question, Resist)
In the Kuk Dong factory in southern Mexico, workers are struggling for recognition of an independent union. Since Kuk Dong produces apparel for Nike and many universities, their struggle strikes at the heart of the sweatshop issue and the upcoming Notre Dame decision on whether we should join the Worker Rights Consortium.
- Quote of the Day ( George Bush)
"You do not reform a world by ignoring it."
- Dangers of focusing on clothes (Quote of the Day )
Just when I thought I'd seen it all, yesterday's Viewpoint laughed in my face. I didn't think anything could top the shock of witnessing a "premiere" university masquerade a blatant act of censorship behind a mask of religious devotion, but one Domer stepped up to the challenge. I am compelled to respond to Sheila Payne's article from the Feb. 14 issue of The Observer, not because of my disdain for her opinions, but because the implications in her letter are despicable and dangerous.
- Reviving a Lenten tradition (Letter to the Editor )
Think about reviving the ancient Christian tradition of abstaining from meat consumption during Lent. We respectfully invite all Christians to use VDLENT2001 as a period of reflection and prayer for all the innocent creatures currently condemned to the slaughterhouse and/or factory-farm.

- ND welcomes stories of Cabrini Green (By MARIBEL MOREY Assistant News Editor)
The invisible bubble that provides comfort, safety and a homogeneous culture at Notre Dame has no creator, but its presence is still visible. Students stroll down campus at two in the morning without the impending fear of robbery — or of being shot at 20 times simply because of their dorm or their major.
- Judicial Council revisions result in election improvements (By ERIN LaRUFFA News Writer)
Following months of working to reform campus election bylaws, the Judicial Council pulled off a feat it could not accomplish last year: an almost flawless election of Notre Dame's next student body president and vice president.
- Young's second lecture discusses violence - Saint Mary's hosts political philosopher as part of series (By KATIE McVOY News Writer)
In a colloquium co-sponsored by the Notre Dame government department and the Saint Mary's philosophy department, political philosopher Iris Marion Young said that power and violence are opposed to each other. Young based her discussion on a paper she wrote discussing an essay by Hannah Arendt on the nature of violence and power.

The technology-dependent Notre Dame community faced a challenge as e-mail was unavailable from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning.
- Students organize `Vagina' readings (Observer Staff Report )
Following College president Marilou Eldred's announcement that student organizations could not officially sponsor a reading of The Vagina Monologues on campus, groups of students have been banding together to read the play on their own.
