- Weather helps Irish soar above Flyers (By CHRISTINE ARMSTRONG Sports Writer)
Though poor conditions prevented Notre Dame from competing against Michigan State on Saturday, the Irish enjoyed Sunday's sunny skies, a warm breeze and a strong fan turnout as they annihilated the University of Dayton. In the 2000 meter dual regatta, held on the St. Joseph River, the Irish boats swept all seven races. In the varsity eight race, the Irish crew of coxswain Cassie Markstahler, Natalie Ladine, Ashlee Warren, Casey Buckstaff, Rachel Polinski, Alice Bartek, Meghan Boyle, Katie Chenoweth and Danielle Protasewich finished first in six minutes, 59 seconds, a solid 33 seconds ahead of the Flyers.

Inside
- Hey Belles (Katie McVoy Senior Staff Writer)
I would like to point something out.
Viewpoint
- Saying goodbye to the Dome (Amy Schill Dazed and Amused)
I'm a senior, and graduation is just around the corner. Many can't wait to get out of here, and some might be tempted to think that I feel the same. I, who have made a habit of making fun of a school that is charmingly ridiculous at best (circus lunch, anyone?) and absurd at worst (parietals, having to go to class), should be thrilled to be finally free from the clutches of Malloy and friends. But that couldn't be further from the truth. In reality, I just don't want to leave.
- War is not a game (Randall Janiczek graduate student)
After reading Matt Bramanti's April 11inside column, I couldn't help but feel sick to my stomach. The final words of his column were, "after a big win on the road, our team deserves a rest." I cannot believe the ignorance shown by Bramanti in likening this war to a sports game. Mr. Bramanti, what is happening in Iraq is far from a game, it is a war. People are dying every day, people just like you. But, as sad as it may be, the likening of the war to a game is not limited to one uninformed member of our student body.
- Congress should step up to wartime responsibilities (Charles Rice Right or Wrong?)
"Military Mirrors a Working-Class America."
- America rally falls short (Nick Shepard freshman)
The choice of the College Republicans to invite Don Feder to speak at the pro-America rally was a bad decision. First, in 1998 Feder wrote an article titled,"No Statehood for Caribbean Dogpatch." In this article he explains why he does not want Puerto Rico to become a state. While some of his points are valid, others are downright offensive. Maybe it's because I'm half Hispanic, but I was offended by the article, and to be perfectly honest, it takes a lot to offend me.
- Is civilization skin deep? (Firat Demir graduate student)
"These are hard times," said one "analyst" from the TV screen referring to the people of Iraq from her comfortable air-conditioned studio in Qatar. Then came the pictures of a group of angry and hungry looters breaking into a small shop in the downtown (if there is anything left to be referred as downtown, of course) Baghdad. The pictures of dead bodies of small children, say for instance, of Fatima, were omitted from the show as usual. Then I read the racist and worse still, ignorant, populist piece of John Litle, Mr. to-be-William Safire Jr. in the Observer on Friday. A feeling of hopelessness filled my mind, asking to myself, how can so much ignorance be possible in the technologically most advanced country on Earth?

- Increase in lay service cuts religious vocations (By ANNELIESE WOOLFORD Saint Mary's Editor)
It shouldn't come as a surprise to see sisters walking, biking or driving around Saint Mary's. There is a convent on campus after all. Not as commonly seen, however, is the role that sisters play in fulfilling vocations at the College.

Scene
- Sit back and sink in to the Stripes (By MARIA SMITH Scene Editor)
Classic rock fans should turn up their ears to its newest incarnation in The White Stripes' April Fool`s Day release, Elephant. The minimalism of Jack White and Meg White's guitar and drum duets are nothing like the pleasant pop of Avril Lavigne, nor do they resemble the bass and synthesizer driven sound of noise bands like Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park. Elephant is not music for anyone who wants to pump up the car stereo and sing along. But the gritty guitar will take you right out of this decade to a time when real solos and a bit of gothic angst made bands like Led Zeppelin great.
- Switchfoot refuses to be a letdown ( By BECCA SAUNDERS Scene Music Critic)
Four guys, drums, guitars, great lead singer: the typical make-up of any "up and coming" rock band. However, the San-Diego based band Switchfoot is anything but typical. Best known for the appearance of their songs in the movie "A Walk to Remember," Switchfoot has been growing over the past years, developing a strong presence in the Christian music industry. The Beautiful Letdown is Switchfoot's newest album and their first album recorded while being on the Columbia label. As their fourth album, this one shines as both original and unique. The album forms a group of songs well written, well played and overall well done.
- Mellow out to `Summer Sun' (By RYAN RAFFERTY Scene Music Critic)
When you first pick up an album titled Summer Sun, you would expect to hear happy, pop, mainstream radio summer music; but then you see the artist is Yo La Tengo and you completely change your mind.
- Punk goes synth and sad (By STEVE HOEPLINGER Scene Music Critic)
AFI is the perfect band for people who are in a good mood and don't want to be. Equal parts punk, hardcore and nü metal, their latest album, Sing the Sorrow, explores the darkest and most miserable aspects of human existence possible, with a drum machine and synthesizer thrown in to give it a little techno flavoring.
