- COPS: Live at Notre Dame (Dustin Ferrell Assistant Viewpoint Editor)
Say what you will about the sheltered nature of college students, but one thing they have in common with "the real world" is their distrust of the law. Cops serve in a thankless profession, much like the military, IRS auditors and septic tank repairmen. And although their validity as "real" police officers has been challenged lately, they are no less praiseworthy for their efforts. Even if they do write me a lot of parking violations.
Viewpoint
- Memory lapses in the White House (Cappy Gagnon Cappy's Corner)
Press accounts in the past few days have yielded yet another mention about the forgetfulness of the guys at 1600. The latest "oops" concerns Al Gore's e-mails. Despite having invented the Internet, it seems that Al is a klutz (color me shocked) when it comes to using e-mail. At least we are to believe that to explain why Al and Justice Department Investigators, can't recover six years of e-mails covering the period when there has been some question about fund raising improprieties at the White House.

"When the President does it, that means it is not illegal."
- All we need is a Christian candidate (Letter to the Editor )
First of all, I must admit that I have been one of the many quietly complacent students here. However, things I have seen recently in The Observer have finally brought me to action in writing. I have two purposes within this letter.
- NDSP is fair buffer from "real world" (Letter to the Editor )
In response to Jeremy Beau's letter on March 27, I'd like to point out that the Notre Dame Police Department is not just a nuisance. Notre Dame Security is a buffer from the South Bend "real" police that May be underappreciated by Jeremy.
- Blatant whine about security police (Letter to the Editor )
This is for Jeremy Beau and his recent comments directed toward the Notre Dame Security Police (NDSP). For those of you who missed his commentary, it boils down to this: he and some friends of his broke a bunch of rules set down by the University (and one local ordinance) and was irked by the audacity the NDSP showed in attempting to enforce these rules.
- Proving we are a "family" (Letter to the Editor )
I wish to praise the actions of all Notre Dame students and I know I am not just speaking for myself. I am sure many were equally shocked and pleased at the turnout today.

- Spielberg confronts issues of race in `The Color Purple' (By JOHN CRAWFORD Scene Movie Critic)
Steven Spielberg had doubts when Quincy Jones first approached him to direct a film based on Alice Walker's novel "The Color People." Spielberg, after all, was the director of popcorn movies like "Jaws" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark," not serious, character-driven dramas based on Pulitzer Prize-winning books. Besides, Spielberg, being white and male, wondered if he could relate to a film dealing with an African-American woman's experiences.
