Viewpoint
- Forgive others as Jesus forgave us (Kimmi Martin Reflections of a Nice Girl)
In a recent bible study group, we discussed the story of "The Lost Son," also known as "The Prodigal Son." This is the parable in the gospel of Luke that details the life of a young man who squandered his inheritance on prostitutes and other frivolous things. Upon his return home, with nothing left, his father welcomed him back with open arms. He forgave his youngest son without condition or hesitation.
- Bridging the gap between people (Father Don McNeill For a More Just and Humane World)
I realized how important the challenge is for us to "bridge the gap between people."

It is often easier to think and preach about "my neighbor" than to be open to encounters with neighbors who have voices which challenge my comfort zone and fears.
- Donate bone marrow today and save lives (Letter to the Editor )
As you may or may not know, I have been diagnosed with leukemia. For those of you who have been so gracious to write or say prayers, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Those letters get me through everyday.
- Vote for resolution on IBM pensions (Letter to the Editor )
I am writing to respectfully ask that all faculty, staff, students and alumni who hold stock in the IBM corporation carefully consider the IBM stockholder proxy votes you make in the coming days leading to the annual stockholder's meeting on April 25.

Some other fun names of Garbage Pail Kids are Dirty Harry, Rob Slob, Varicose Wayne, Fake Jake, Shrunken Ed and Cheeky Charles.
