Viewpoint
- Petition failed to unify student body (Nathaniel Hannan senior)
In her April 15 letter, Libby Bishop claimed the triumph of a 4,000-signature petition as "strong support received [demonstrating] the power of a unified student voice."
- Shakespeare in Africa (Maite Uranga Life in Africa)
Yesterday I felt like I traveled back in time to see the premiere of "Romeo and Juliet" in Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. My friend in the closest village to me recreated this play for a girls' conference. Listening to the process of the project and watching the performance gave me a glimpse of what the original actors, director and audience went through for the premiere.
- Where is the outrage? (Sarah Edwards freshman)
Thursday it was reported on the front page of The Observer that one former and three current Notre Dame football players were accused of gang raping a 20-year-old student. In the days following, I noticed that there was not one letter regarding the alleged horrible and unconscionable incident. I find it very sad that Notre Dame students are more concerned about their drinking "rights" and SYRs than they are about the alleged violation of one of their sisters.
- Support equal pay for both women and minorities (Brooke Warner Jessica Domingo)
The median earnings of women in Indiana are only 61.1 percent of Indiana men's median earnings. Across the country today, workers' rights advocates will take part in a day of action to end unfair pay practices — a top concern for women and people of color nationally and in Indiana.
- Terrorists give free countries no options (John Litle Frankly Obnoxious)
I don't negotiate with terrorists. I don't support their causes, no matter what they are, and I do support the systematic discovery and destruction of all groups and political bodies that would use terrorism worldwide. Rarely are issues so black and white, but in this day in age, we're left with no choice. In order to combat the threat that has been leveled against ourselves and our society as a whole, we, as citizens of the United States and as members of the Notre Dame community, have a duty to look above the reasons terrorists are upset to see the truth: that their course of action to remedy their problem nullifies their political concerns.

- Midnight Oil makes a leaky comeback (By TOM O'CONNELL Scene Music Critic)
Capricornia, the 14th studio album from veteran Australian rock band Midnight Oil is a composite of loose, upbeat melodies, socially conscious lyrics and powerful vocals. Best known for their late 1980s hit "Beds Are Burning," Midnight Oil has been making quality music since their formation in 1976. Over their 25-year existence, they have sold millions of albums both in the U.S. and throughout the world. Like most aging bands, Midnight Oil's popularity has steadily dwindled since the height of their fame, but they have still made several well-received albums that have sold respectable numbers.
