- On writing (Angela Campos Lab Tech)
It's interesting to see what people do in their free time. What's free time? It's what you do for fun. That thing that brings out the best in you. Some people sit on the sofa watching reruns of 90210. Others run around the lakes or play three on three.

- Travel great for Americans (Anna Barbour Get a Life)
Traveling abroad is always an eye-opening, an eye-popping, an eye-call-it-what-you-will experience, and it's never more true then when referring to the experience of the American, or more specifically, the North American of United States heritage dating back at least two maybe three generations. This person is a good man or a good woman who simply believes life in the "U-S-of-A" is the best life and the only life.
- What they don't want you to hear (Mike Marchand Questionable Freedoms 2000)
In these very pages, much ink has been printed concerning "Yo Mama's Last Supper," the painting displayed in New York which portrays Jesus as a naked black woman. Like clockwork, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani attacked the piece as anti-Catholic. Just as predictably, critics, including in The Observer, excoriated Giuliani for attempted censorship. Those anti-censorship hawks may want to examine a couple of recent events.
- Fix meal plans (Jeremy Heilman senior)
I used to think that our meal plans were pretty nice. No waiting in checkout lines. All you can eat buffet. No cash, just a card swipe. Convenient location. However, now I realize what a rip off meal plans really are, and I am tired of being bilked.
- Legitimized guns enable school violence (Melissa R. Beiting senior)
I am writing in response to Scott Brodfuehrer's column of March 23 entitled, "Violence hurts." While I commend Mr. Brodfuehrer for taking the time to discuss this extremely important issue, I have to question his approach to the topic of school violence. We should question the validity of Mr. Brodfuehrer's claim that "these shootings continue to be especially disturbing because they do not occur in a violence-ridden area." While he seems shocked by the fact that these crimes are taking place even in "small Catholic schools," his analysis of the situation as a whole is perfunctory and lacks any real depth.
- Quote of the Day (Mark Twain author)
"We all grumble about the weather, but nothing is done about it."

- Can you handle Händel? The Notre Dame Department of Music and the Notre Dame Opera present a modern production of "Xerxes" (By C. SPENCER BEGGS Assistant Scene Editor)
Here's the deal. You are in love with a girl, who coincidentally is in love with your brother. Luckily (for you), you are the king of Persia and your brother —albeit much more handsome, glib and intelligent— is not. So now, you have to win the consent to marry her both from her and from her father, a man who also happens to be the commander of your army, which is poised to invade Europe.
