- Bengal Bouts — 125-145 pounds: Faist advances to semifinals by defeating Feduska (By ERIK POWERS Sports Writer)
Early in the match it seemed as if Michael Feduska and Brian Faist were participating in a little bit of geometry, with Faist circumnavigating Feduska. Feduska was the aggressor in the first round, causing the elusive Faist to circle him around the ring. But Faist fought off Feduska's flurries well, three times using his left hand to block series of jabs before retaliating with a wicked right hook. Both fighters came out with flurries in the second round, but the staccato succession of blows failed to give either fighter an advantage.
Inside
- Keeping pace with tuition (Sarah Nestor Saint Mary's Editor)
Saint Mary's and Notre Dame Board of Trustees have once again approved tuition increases, thereby passing the College and University's costs onto students. However, this is not an uncommon phenomenon in the State of Indiana, or even across the nation. Indiana University, Purdue University and Ball State have all approved tuition increases for next year.

- War protests support Saddam (Mike Marchand Undistinguished Alumnus)
On Feb. 15, between one and two million people around the world marched in support of the regime of Saddam Hussein.
- Reconsidering slavery (Maite Uranga Life in Africa)
Before I arrived in Africa I carried with me moral beliefs that were rock solid — one that being slavery is wrong regardless of the context. I would guess there are few Americans that would argue against this. A counter argument would go against the ingrained American assumption that all people are created equal.
- Just doubts? (Daniel Philpott Viewpoint: Iraq)
Rumors of war in Iraq are now calcifying into war. Will it be just? Prominent ecclesiasts have now weighed in, their perspectives predictably following what they have long preached. The U.S. Catholic bishops and leaders of mainline Protestant denominations have brandished their moral veto. Comparatively hawkish national poll numbers raise old suspicions about whether their congregations are listening.

- Bring in the spring fashions With spring break inching closer, find out what is hot and what is not for both men and women in the upcoming 2003 spring season (Emily Howald, Assistant Scene Editor Brin Anderson, Scene Writer)
With the negative degree weather plaguing the Bend, it is somewhat difficult to even contemplate the up- and-coming fashions for this spring. Nonetheless, one shopping spree at the mall will certainly start you thinking about spring attire. Winter is finally coming to an end and it is time to get rid of the heavy wool sweaters and cords in order to make room for the shorts, tanks, and dresses.
