Viewpoint
- Era candidates win elections (Gary Caruso Capitol Comments)
If anyone is an expert on the value of student government or the impact of so-called "era candidates" who run in student government elections, I am. During my junior year, almost exactly 30 years ago, I ran for student body president at Notre Dame. I lost to a candidate who wore a Burger King crown and chose as his running mate, a cat!

- Homosexual immorality questioned Biblical evidence is an oxymoron (Jonathan Diffley sophomore)
How dare Becket Gremmels call another student closed-minded when he is the very antithesis of understanding and tolerance. After reading Mr. Gremmels' letter from Feb. 28, I found myself disgusted with this condescending attitude. Who are you to say that homosexuality is evil? The definition of evil is an act intentionally done to harm or injure another person. Does this really describe sexual preference? If you want to talk about acting maliciously against others, let's look at your letter when you likened homosexuals to people who murder their parents, kidnappers, pedophiles and thieves. Please! If you want a quote from the Bible, how about this: "Let the ones without sin cast the first stone." You also may need to touch up on the Bible's teachings.
- Homosexual immorality questioned Scripture's words can be misconstrued (Meghan DiPerna senior)
Although I've never been compelled to write to The Observer before, I would like to question Becket Gremmels' claim that "Scripture makes it quite clear that homosexual acts are not only a moral evil, but are a mortal sin."
- Poverty sucks — even with a VCR (Daniel Byrne visiting lecturer, history department)
As is often the case with the right wing within the Catholic Church, they have missed Christ's message about poverty and, indeed, 2,000 years of thinking on the issue of social justice. This is truly obvious in the case of Christine Niles and her recent unfocused diatribe against the poor and Europeans. As with last semester's assault on the "brooding sullen class," Ms. Niles misses the mark. The fact that the working poor in the United States have more material goods than the poor in other nations should not condemn them to ridicule.
- `Monologues' break a culture of silence (Anonymous February 25, 2002)
I am an anonymous rape victim. You pass me on the quads, see me in the dining hall and observe me at Mass, always blending in, one of a sea of smiling Notre Dame faces.

Scene
- La Marcolfa (By LAURA KELLY Associate Scene Editor)
In an interesting twist on checking out the competition, Laura Colangelo remembered sitting in the audience of the January production of Moliere's "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme." The senior FTT and Italian major came to the play without knowing a word of French, but wanted to see how much she could understand anyway. Happily surprised, Colangelo found that she could not only follow the story, but enjoyed the performance as well.
