Inside
- IM Fiasco (Laura Rompf Assistant News Editor)
I'm all about honesty lately, so I'd like to share one of the most embarrassing moments of my college career. One Saturday night last semester I attended my friends' party at Campus View. After mingling a while, I noticed a cute boy and asked a friend to introduce me. He obliged, names were exchanged, and I ended up talking and dancing withthe new boy for a while. By the end of the night, I had developed a small crush on him.
Viewpoint
- Lent as a part of your life (Anna Barbour Get a Life)
"Life is like a box of chocolates." Well maybe, sort of, I guess, except that you can poke the bottom of the chocolates and see what is in the center and you cannot normally do that with life. I usually look for the raspberry or coconut centers myself; I have a technique so that unless you check, you cannot tell if a piece has been tampered with. You cannot tamper with life like I do with chocolate; you can't get something for nothing in the game of life; you rarely, as they say, have your cake and eat it too — in life, you pay the piper and reap what you sow.
- Quote of the Day (Mahatma Gandhi activist)
"I believe in the fundamental Truth of all the great religions of the world. I believe that they are all God given ... I came to that conclusion long ago ... that all religions were true, and also that all had some error in them."
- A defense of Knight's of Columbus statue "Knights explain the donated statue" (Letter to the Editor )
I speak on behalf of the Knights of Columbus in response to Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece's Feb. 22 letter. In it, she castigates the Knights and the University itself for daring to suggest that the abortion of millions of pregnancies every year is wrong.
- A defense of Knight's of Columbus statue "Statue recognizes all affected by abortion" (Letter to the Editor )
I was first upset and then saddened by Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece's letter to The Observer on Feb. 22. It betrayed a misunderstanding that is all too common today, especially at Notre Dame. The feeling that for a person or institution to take a position is necessarily to condemn all others or to betray a sense of "free thinking" and intellectual honesty. This reasoning would disallow Notre Dame, a Catholic school, from taking a moral stand on anything. It would not only condemn the University's stand on abortion, but on every other pertinent social issue, such as sweatshops. Yet this is not the heart of the issue.
- "Think I give a damn about a Grammy?" (Mike Marchand Questionable Freedoms 2000)
It was an awfully strange sight last Wednesday night at the Grammy Awards. Controversial rapper Eminem was holding the hand of music legend Elton John, while his other hand was offering an extended middle finger to the crowd giving him a standing ovation.
