Inside
- The Friend Basket (C.R. "Teo" Teodoro Illustrations Editor)
There was once something that my best friend back in California and I had in common. We both knew a good number of girls, but we never got anywhere with them. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can be a little frustrating at times when you know some of the hottest girls around (and believe me, I know some very attractive ladies) and all you end up in is the friend basket.

Before I open up the floor to shameless name calling and finger wagging, let me be sure I've got this straight.
- Remember your inspirations (Letter to the Editor )
As I sit in a hospital waiting room in Cleveland, two words run through my head — "scrub down." Fifteen minutes earlier I read them as I passed through a door on my way to a friend's room. I can remember the context those words were used in, but I can't begin to remember the exact sentence. Maybe it wasn't a sentence. Perhaps it was a statement or a an order. Is there a difference? Now a new series of thoughts enters my head. My attention momentarily turns to the North Carolina/Stanford game on the television, but as the announcer uses the word "bad," my thoughts turn to something my friend's mother said earlier.
- We could use a little crisis (Letter to the Editor )
The sociologist C. Wright Mills speaks of indifference and uneasiness as two major problems in society. It seems that Notre Dame is a society to which this applies. Mills gives four possible states: well-being, crisis, indifference and uneasiness. Well-being is cherishing a set of values which are not threatened in any way. Crisis is cherishing values which are threatened. Indifference is defined as the state of not being aware of either cherished values or threats. Finally, uneasiness is the state of not being aware of cherished values, but only of the threat. The question now is, where are Notre Dame students on this scale?
- Criticism of Bob Jones hypocritical (Letter to the Editor )
I appreciate Jim Kwiatt's letter (Thurs., March 9) regarding George W. Bush's campaign at Bob Jones University before the South Carolina primary. I agree with him that American politics is in a sad state where candidates are making "politically strategic moves" rather than caring for the welfare of the people they represent. However, I am a bit alarmed at his conclusions.

Scene
- Keenan Knights are a brotherhood of men (By LOUBEL CRUZ Scene Writer)
It seems appropriate that a dorm whose mascot is the "Knight" has the hall motto "Fratres in Christo," Latin for "Brothers in Christ." But, that is exactly how the men of Keenan Hall view themselves and their dorm — as a place where togetherness can be developed through Christian service and brotherhood which is obvious in their dedication to serving both their own hall and the entire Notre Dame campus.

- Nunnin' around (Scott Little just a little)
The nun costume has long been a thing that I have had questions about. The costumes seemed to make the women behind them sooo… hard to get to. "The Great Human Emperor Penguins" ruled the icebergs of Catholicism, and these righteous women would waddle there way to salvation bearing wooden crosses, rosary beads, and bibles. At least that is the old image that I had. The nuns of today, however, are way hip and down to earth and don't wear the old get-up any more, at least around here.
