"Why can't we name her apple juice, Mom? It's my favorite drink and I think it's a great name."
Viewpoint
- Students are talking about sex (Letter to the Editor )
This is in response to the April 4, Inside Column. First, I and a lot of other Notre Dame students have no problem acknowledging that we are sexual beings. Second, the statement that sex equals penetration is a "male-centered" opinion is a gross misrepresentation of males and the attitude of sex at Notre Dame in general.
- Living is earning a sufficient wage (Todd David Whitmore The Common Good)
One of the remaining questions that the University's Task Force on Sweatshop Initiatives must address is that of the living wage. My own position is that we should uphold the living wage. The first reason for doing so is the improvement such a wage would bring about in the lives of the workers. The second is that the living wage has been a standard part of modern Catholic social teaching from its inception with Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum through the latest documents. Both of these reasons are often cited.
- Quote of the Day (Joan Baez Singer)
"You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can decide how you're going to live now."
- Show mercy and turn the other cheek (Marlayna Soenneker Here We Go Again)
I am not voting for George W. Bush. The main reason for this is his record down in Texas for killing folks. In his years as governor of Texas, the number of death row prisoners executed has increased almost logarithmically.
- Loan forgiviness benefits the poor (Letter to the Editor )
I graduated from Notre Dame Law School in 1996 and practice law as an assistant federal public defender in South Texas along the Mexican border. I chose to attend Notre Dame because I wanted a good education and because, as a practicing Catholic, I wanted to attend a school that would allow me to grow spiritually. However, attending Notre Dame has unfortunately made it difficult for me and others to practice law in keeping with our Catholic faith.
- Justifying abortion leads to increased injustices (Letter to the Editor )
I was greatly troubled by the April 5 Inside Column by Lauren Berrigan, "Assess abortion cases separately." Her arguments seep with logical contradictions, drastic generalizations and a most shocking disregard for the truth.

Scene
- Cusack and co. lend sharp humor to `Fidelity' (By JILLIAN DEPAUL Scene Movie Critic)
The offbeat romantic comedy "High Fidelity," directed by Stephen Frears and adapted from the novel of the same name by Nick Hornby, is a delightfully fresh coming-of-age story about a 30-something slacker named Rob Gordon, played by John Cusack (who also co-wrote and co-produced the film).
- Secret societies, killer provosts abound in `Skulls' (By MIKE McMORROW Scene Movie Critic)
"The Skulls" receives two shamrock halves: one for the fact that it does make one laugh on many occasions (although they're unintentional), and another for the fact that any movie that contains a killer provost deserves at least some credit.
- `Clowns' displays humor and insight ahead of its time (By JASON HAMMONTREE Scene Movie Critic)
A friend once suggested that the perfect way to begin a film collection would be to buy every Best Picture nominee. He had movies like "A Thousand Clowns" (nominated in 1965) in mind when he said it.
