    • Parenting our parents (Amanda Greco assistant Viewpoint editor)
      Last week presented an interesting sort of life lesson for me. We're all fairly young around here, and for the most part, so are our parents. Since I am the youngest of five kids, my folks may be a bit older than most. But certainly at 58 my father has not yet joined the ranks of the ancient. That's why the events of the last week were so hard for me to handle.

    • Are we celebrating genocide? (Tim Ferrell Sophomore)
      I had never been inside the administration building until this year. Something has been bothering me ever since I walked through the hallway on the second floor. Has anyone noticed those huge pseudo-tapestries on the wall? They depict Christopher Columbus in various scenes regarding the "discovery" of America and related events. In fact, they don't just depict Columbus, they glorify him to some degree. One painting actually shows the Native Americans bowing down before Columbus, holding a cross. It's pretty scary.
    • No `elections' occured (Patrick Dunnigan Freshman)
      Both Notre Dame and Saint Mary's are now engulfed in scandals resulting from student body elections. But there is one slight problem: These votes were not elections. As of now, the student body has elected neither Crissie Renner at Saint Mary's nor Brian O'Donoghue at Notre Dame. In order for a president to be elected, he or she must receive 50 percent plus 1 votes of all the votes cast. Currently, neither candidate has received that amount.

    • Ready for Windows 2000? (By MIKE REVERS Access Denied)
      Well, in a word, no. The fact is that the leap into the new millennium is not one that requires a change in your computer's operating system. For those who are unfamiliar with computers, an operating system, or OS, is the software that helps to run your computer's functions. The "Windows Family" of products from Microsoft has been and still is the most successful operating system in the world. The beauty of the OS is that it runs on virtually any machine, which makes it a very versatile operating system. This has helped strengthen its popularity.
