- Rest in peace, weekend (Kevin Allen Wire Editor)
Another week has come and gone, and another week has begun with me grieving the loss of the weekend. It arrived just three days ago amid much anticipation and has yet again been brutally wrenched from our lives by the greedy hands of another Monday.
Viewpoint
- About peace petition signers and non-signers War rhetoric drowns out calls for peace (Molly Jacob senior)
I challenge Timothy Bonadies' suggestion that the students, faculty and staff of Notre Dame, Saint Mary's and Holy Cross who did not sign the petition in opposition to a war in Iraq did not do so because they favor war. I know many people who would have included their names in the collection, but they were unaware of the effort to make the voice for peace heard on our campus. Bonadies' assertion is a transparent attempt to distort the weak case for a war in Iraq.
- About peace petition signers and non-signers Inaction says nothing affirmative (Haseeb Mahmood graduate student)
I am a bit surprised that anyone would consider the lack of action on the part of "9,000 other students, faculty and staff" as endorsement for a war. Inaction has never meant support for anything. It usually just means people do not care enough. Otherwise, we may be faced with a world where scientific theories would be disproved before they were proved and elections would be based on the number of people who did not vote rather then those who did.
- About peace petition signers and non-signers Clarifying our position and the arguments for peace in Iraq (Peter Quaranto and Catherine McGeeney freshmen)
There appear to be three common misperceptions about those who oppose this impending war against Iraq. The first is that those who oppose this war support Saddam Hussein. Now there may be a small minority of "Saddam-Husseinophiles" out there, but such ignorant and insane people fall into the very small minority. The majority of us who oppose this war recognize that Hussein is a serious threat who needs to be challenged, contained and addressed. However, we believe this can be done in a non-violent way.
- Painting a post-spring break picture (David Barrett Notre Bum)
This semester I've done all I can do. I have exhausted every social resource in an attempt to kick this January through March malaise. Every one. Recently I've resorted to Paintshop Pro. When things aren't going my way at school, I look to my artwork and my beautiful pictures to pacify me. Even if they are going my way, I still just want to toss up a little Paintshop Pro. So basically, it has become quite the addiction.

Scene
- Fighting violence and stereotypes against women The controversy surrounding "The Vagina Monologues" continues in the play's third year on campus (By CHRISTIE BOLSEN Assistant Scene Editor)
When can a production founded on the ideal of ending violence against women become such a heated controversy that, weeks prior to its debut on campus this year, there is already debate brewing amongst members of the student body, faculty and alumni about its appropriateness on a Catholic campus?
- A weekend of smoldering jazz lights up the campus (By BJ STREW Scene Writer)
Walking into the LaFortune Ballroom, audience members encountered the jaunty, disjointed rumble of drums, the bass thumping away, and the sporadic warmth of saxophone before realizing the noises were just the band warming up. Then the lights dimmed.
