- Let's Talk About Sex (Colleen Gaughen Senior Staff Writer)
Most people have no doubt seen those t-shirts that on the front say, "Sex Kills" and on the back read, "Then come to Notre Dame and Live Forever." While mildly amusing, this message is incorrect.
Viewpoint
- Where's the female faculty? (Kate Rowland Read This. It May Save Your Life.)
At first I brushed it off when my friend Steve, a 1998 Notre Dame grad, mentioned that in his time here, he'd only had two female professors.
- Filling my dress for my sister's wedding (Mary Beth Ellis Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude)
My sister is getting married this fall, and I am to be her maid of honor. These are precious, exciting days for my family, and for myself in particular, ever since I found out that I have the biggest boobs in the whole entire wedding party. Of course, I'm beating out a fourteen-year-old, a cousin who stands at all of 4'9", and a family friend who wears a size negative seven; but no matter, after spending eight consecutive years in women's schools, I have been in countless situations in which everybody else's WonderBra had far less WonderWork to do than mine. It will be nice to be a total object for once in my life. I grow weary of being judged on the basis of my character and intelligence.
- Student rapists must be expelled, swiftly (Ed Manier Professor of Philosophy)
Nothing does more to encourage student belief that campus life is regulated "by men and not by law" than the University's handling of cases of date rape. Rape by acquaintance is serious physical assault. It is a crime difficult to prosecute in county courts because rules of criminal procedure combine with victims' natural desire to avoid revictimization to reduce the likelihood of conviction in all but the most flagrant circumstances. But if du Lac can't be rewritten to enable the expulsion of date rapists, why do we have a code of student conduct at all?
- Napster is no threat ( Peter Godlewski)
Once again the administration has done something it should not have done. Napster and programs like it are absolutely no threat to the university. First, Napster only recognizes mp2 and mp3 programs. There are no "serious security issues" at stake here. If a hacker wanted to get into the computers, it would be extremely easy to do so via another means. And about the bandwidth excuse, a university such as this, with all of the money it has, should have no problem handling that kind of traffic. Indeed it has handled the traffic, easily.
- Politicians shouldn't sell out to religions (Chris Sikorski Freshman, Keough Hall)
I would like to respond to a letter regarding Christians and the political arena (All we need is a Christian candidate, March 30, The Observer). While the article was well-written and contained some valid points, I disagreed strongly with certain aspects.

Scene
- Pumpkins reclaim old fans with Machina (By GEOFFREY RAHIE Scene Movie Critic)
As soon as Billy Corgan rips into the opening riff of "The Everlasting Gaze," you know that the Smashing Pumpkins are back. After registering one of the most successful double-albums in rock history with Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, the Pumpkins received popular backlash for their follow-up album, Adore. But the Pumpkins are sure to regain some fans lost in the aftermath of Adore with Machina: the machines of God.

While the pop sound between Europe (particularly Britain) and America differs, British group Gomez released their second album, Liquid Skin, with a sound similar to that of American pop.
- Guster rocks during April Fool's concert (By LISA BRUNO Scene Music Critic)
Eight years ago at Tufts University, an amazing thing happened — three freshmen, Brian Rosenworcel, Adam Gardner and Ryan Miller met and decided to form a band. Gardner and Miller provided the vocals and guitars, and Rosenworcel provided the percussion on congos. Originally calling themselves "Gus," the band was forced to change its name to Guster after facing legal troubles.
