- Little lessons lead to luck o' Irish (Lila Haughey Viewpoint Editor)
As Luck Would Have It. I have realized over time that a certain law applies to me; some call it Murphy's law and some call it fate. Whatever it is, it has tripped me up on countless occasions.

- Take advantage of your right to be heard (Kimmi Martin Reflections of a nice girl)
As many of you already know, it is virtually impossible to flip through the channels and not see something regarding the Elián Gonzalez case. News broadcasters have camped out in front of his Miami home interviewing neighbors, family friends, legal experts; even the fishermen who resucued Elián. Everyone has something to say. What I think is most profound is the fact that there is one person, with nothing to say: his mother. This woman died in the ocean while trying to give her own son what she believed to be a better life.

"Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless
- Administrators must take rape cases more seriously (Letter to the Editor )
First of all, I would like to thank Professor Manier for writing the letter: Student Rapists must be expelled, swiftly (April 4). I agree with him 100 percent.
- Drug abuse carries unintended consequences (Letter to the Editor )
No question about it — rape is a terrible thing. It is a violation of personal boundaries and demeans both victim and perpetrator. I speak from my own personal experience when I state that it takes many years to work through the trauma of rape and gain or regain sexual self-respect.
- Campus rape survivor speaks out (Letter to the Editor )
I am writing in regards to the article on April 3 about the Notre Dame student who was raped on March 25. As members of the Holy Cross Community of schools, we would like to believe that instances like these are rare. We attend institutions with Catholic morals at their core and we are in turn all good Christians who would never harm our neighbors. However, I would like to break down the wall of silence about rape in this community.

- Nuns struggle with challenges of age (By NELLIE WILLIAMS News Writer)
Technology has increased longevity, but not age awareness, according to a recent study by JoAnn Meyer Burke, assistant professor of social work and anthropology at Saint Mary's College.
- ND grad receives Pulitzer (By KIFLIN TURNER News Writer)

- Faculty Assembly to review study days proposal next Fall (By COLLEEN McCARTHY Associate News Editor)

- Irish dancers `step' into South Bend (By ANDREW McDONNELL Scene Writer)
American culture is a shrieking, plaid walrus with a mouthful of radishes. That is to say: a strange and finicky beast. Have we so quickly forgotten the Aust-ralian invasion of the late '80s with the lovable antics of Paul Hogan and Yahoo Serious? What about the French Invasion of the mid-'80s? There was probably one of those. The current Latin pop sensation is, of course, not to be ignored. Yes, this is America, and our taste cruises the globe in a five-tiered jumbo jet, landing and taking-off as it pleases.
- Dogs and cats and humans and God (Scott Little just a little)
Dogs and cats can be famous just like people, only it never goes to their heads. They are wonderful, fluffy little and big creatures. It is easy to like them because we feel we are superior to them — the same way that God probably feels about us. We are like God's pets. And earth is his petting zoo. Depending on how cute our soul is, God may touch us - or he may not.
- Greek drama graces ND stage (By LAURA KELLY Scene Writer)
It is a play about silence. This may seem like an ironic description of a drama full of challenging dialogues and unforgettable lines. Yet, the central issues of Timberlake Wertenbaker's "The Love of the Nightingale" are the conflicts between the powerful and the oppressed, between the faithful and the faithless and between speech and silence. Notre Dame Film, Television and Theatre (FTT) presents an unforgettable look at the silencing of women in its latest mainstage production, running this week at Washington Hall.
