- Political correctness taken too far (Joe Muto freshman)
It has become obvious to me that political correctness is running rampant and out of control in the Notre Dame and Saint Mary's community. The "Vagina Monologues" controversy was just the tip of the iceberg. Here's the event that drove home the point for me: O'Neill had its annual Mardi Gras celebration. This celebration is revered by residents of my dorm as a chance to cut loose — and as a weekend where political correctness has no place.

The bootleg not only documented Dylan's momentous yet controversial transition from folk to rock — the audience can clearly be heard expressing their disgust — but it also propelled Dylan to his prominent place in history.
