Inside
- Poetic expression (Angela Campos Lab Tech)
Expression is something that manifests, embodies and symbolizes an emotion, an idea or a state of being to someone who did not participate in the same experience. There are many ways in which to express yourself, ranging from a smile or a frown to cartwheeling down South Quad and splashing in melt-water puddles to singing and interpretive dance. Those of us who were fortunate enough to see Ani Difranco on Tuesday night saw her self-expression in her movements and dance, her lyrics and her music. All of it combined is her way of expressing that which is important to her.
Viewpoint
- Irish Conflict offers perspective (Marlayna Soenneker Here we go again: Letters from Exile)
I traveled to Belfast in Northern Ireland with the Ireland Program about two weeks ago. I think it may be the most interesting place I've ever been, both for its own sake and for the insight it gives into other hotspots of the world. Hopefully most people know some of the history of Northern Ireland, but I'll summarize it briefly anyway.
- Knights misunderstand free speech (Letter to the Editor )
The letter from the Knights of Columbus printed Feb. 18, entitled, "`Monologues' deny Catholic values,'" shows a complete misunderstanding for the concept of free speech. While the letter makes the claim that the group celebrates free speech, it is clear from the letter that they celebrate only speech with which they agree. Complaints about the legitimacy of "The Vagina Monologues" as art and claims that the play expresses views which oppose the Church simply lead me to believe that the Knights of Columbus wish to censor those views with which they disagree.

Scene
- A play in strange company The Moreau Seminary produces `The Odd Couple' this weekend (By KATIE RAND Scene Writer)
By watching co-directors Nate Farley and Matthew Vereecke observe their actors during a rehearsal, it is easy to see why the pair chose this production. Farley, up-front and not hesitant to speak his mind, makes Vereecke look quiet and reserved. It is fitting then, that the production being put on by the Moreau Seminary Players this year is "The Odd Couple."
- `I'm not a singer, not yet an actress' (By C. SPENCER BEGGS Scene Editor)
"Crossroads" is abysmally bad. The trite MTV-hyped movie delivers little more than lame fairy tales for teens that can't even deliver a remotely coherent message.
- Comedy `Super' team needs backup (By MATT NANIA Scene Movie Editor)
In an age when a teen comedy film is released every other week and the kind of toilet humor made famous (or at least re-invigorated) by the Farrelly Brothers has uncomfortably found its home on Hollywood Boulevard, "Super Troopers" seems to have a lot going for it.
- Two Tickets for: "John Q" (By Melisa Rauch and Paul Camarata Scene Movie Critics)
