- Stop whining the guilt away (Dustin Ferrell Asst. Viewpoint Editor)
I am convinced that a day does not pass at Notre Dame when some highbrow preppy doesn't gasp with indignation over something "offensive." A couple of weeks ago, it was the shock that college students - yes, college students - would actually chant mean things at opposing teams. Then it was the Student Senate's turn to look silly by calling Observer cartoonist Jeff Beam's recent comic "racist."

- Will peace last in Northern Ireland? (Liam Brennan Guest Column)
The Irish have not been fighting. To the pleasure of the British and most Irish, the 30 years of Northern Ireland terrorism has seemingly come to an end. With a few recent exceptions, there has been peace in the North. The question remains, will it last? Today, the prospects do not look so good. The lessons of history and the events of the last few weeks do not plant the seeds of hope.
- Binge drinking leads to dark days (Matthew Loughran Random Thoughts)
Today I am going to sound off about something that most anybody who knows me is not going to expect. I am going to rally against binge drinking. That's right. You heard me. I said AGAINST binge drinking. Yes, I have done my share of binging and (regretfully) purging. But just because I did it doesn't mean that I have to support it.
- Become a `Vagina Warrior' (Letter to the Editor )
Vagina. It is not really that hard to say once you have acclimated yourself to the word. Soon you may even be using it in everyday conversation and not blushing when somebody mentions a woman's "privates." In fact, you may feel that you are empowered or feel some sort of reassurance by saying the word. You feel more in control of your body and that you finally belong to a sisterhood, if you didn't before.
- Bookstore loses respect for art (Letter to the Editor )
For heaven's sake, pull Weston. Raze Rubens. Burn Bernini. Slash Stieglitz. Hide Avedon. Trash Titian. Oh, what the heck, let's destroy the entire history of art. I have plenty of time to zero in on offensive books. I'll be here a while. It hasn't taken long, though, for me to realize that I am spending my Saturday afternoon in a place which is ashamed of the nude. It is a place we all know quite well — our very own Notre Dame Bookstore.
