With every passing day, more and more internship rejection letters fill my mailbox. They all say nearly the same thing:
Viewpoint

- Return eating concerns surveys (Letter to the Editor )
As of this week, 1,417 students have returned completed Eating Concerns Surveys out of the 7,500 surveys sent out. This is a 19 percent return rate. Even though it has been about a month since this survey was sent out, we urge those of you who have not filled the survey out to do so. This is a very important survey for the Notre Dame student body. If you have misplaced or thrown out the original survey, please call and request another from the University Counseling Center, 631-7336.
- Discovering there is a `Notre Dame family' (Letter to the Editor )
There are a lot of reasons to complain about Notre Dame. We can start with the reigning queen of complaints, parietals, and throw in single sex dorms, lack of diversity, ultra conservatism, gender relations in general, an administration that treats us like children, poor dining hall food and a lack luster football season.

Scene
- Spring break 2000: students share their scares, sagas and stories Students tell Scene about their spring break trips and the interesting people and events they encountered on their jaunts across the continent (Jacqueline Browder Assistant Scene Editor)
It was a blustery South Bend morning as we prepared to embark on our first-ever college Spring Break. There were nine girls and five boys heading for our destination of Jack-sonville, Fla. — 14 pale, overexerted freshmen, packed into three SUVs, and ready for an adventure in the Sunshine State. My car was one of the three in our caravan, and for the first hour of our trip down 31, all was well. I was jamming away to my new Backstreet Boys CD (and, consequently, annoying everyone else in the car) and watching cornfield after cornfield go by. We even had a frisky couple in the backseat of the car providing an extra-friendly atmosphere and, consequently, entertaining us all for the majority of the trip. Then the rain started.
- Something is bound to go wrong somewhere (Amanda Greco Scene Editor)
We plan for it months in advance. We purchase new wardrobes, go tanning, diet and work-out like crazed kids to get our bodies in perfect shape. Rumor has it that some people even let their livers take a break before being assaulted in the long-awaited week of debauchery. No, this isn't Antostal.
