Inside
- "It's ... the lake effect" (Andrew Thagard wire editor)
As a newcomer to this part of the country, I can't help but notice Midwesterners' tendency to explain away any change of weather with two words. In Florida, we like to use some variety in disguising our complete ignorance as to the cause of the weather, though we have pretty much beaten that el nino/ la nina thing to death. I have to admire Midwesterners for their consistency. South Benders in particular have an uncanny knack for blaming their 10-month slew of bad weather on these two words.
Viewpoint
- Neoliberalism 101 (Aaron Kreider Think, Question, Resist)
This past weekend leaders from the Americas came to Quebec City to figure out how to create a vast free trade zone called the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). There were also at least 30 thousand protesters on the streets, and in one of many solidarity actions another five thousand people rallied and shut down the Washington-British Columbia border.
- Utter hysterics (Mike Marchand Questionable Freedoms 2000)
Some people are simply upset — shocked — that the University of Notre Dame would go and invite the President of the United States to its commencement ceremony. And offer him an honorary doctorate, no less. So, they've started a petition, which as of 2 p.m. Sunday had a mighty 312 signatures. (Well, technically 313, but one name is Iman E. Diot, so I don't think that's real. If I'm wrong, then Mr./Ms. Diot, I apologize.)
- Answering false impressions of ROTC (John Valainis senior)
I am writing this article in response to The Observer's headline story on April 19 regarding Pax Christi's protest of the ROTC Pass in Review. First of all, I would like to applaud Pax Christi for staging a protest in order to let their views be known, and for the manner in which they carried it out. I was particularly impressed with the open letter printed in The Observer on the day of the Pass in Review and was happy to see concerned citizens exercising their right to organize.
- Meat takes front burner (Steven Reed senior)
It is well-known Lenten tradition at Notre Dame to whine about the absence of meat in the dining halls. In Thursday's edition of The Observer, Michael Sweikar did the unthinkable and brought up a dead horse in The Observer. Sweiker argues that by removing meat from the dining hall, the University is denying Catholics the experience of sacrifice and is also being unchristian by not accepting non-Catholics. Sweiker also points out that the tradition has no biblical basis. These are three of the most common arguments by students on the subject. They are also three of the most lame arguments you could put together. Three bad arguments put together make one really bad argument.
- Paying homage to the thesaurus (Brendan Prendergast, Adam Shanko, Cole Bennett and Lance Gallop freshmen)
As I perused your quotidian periodical, I chanced upon an abhorration — Tyler Whatley's myopic cosmology and his wanton butchery of the English language. I shall begin with his insular worldview. Mr. Whatley's blatant neglect of alternative theological views is reprobate, given the framework of the University's current progressive minority policies. How petty is the simplistic dichotomy of heaven and hell? Is he blind to the views of other theological constructs, e.g., Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, Zoroastrianism, et. al.? Mr. Whatley's religious views notwithstanding, his gross grammatical impropriety and flagrant disregard for modern American syntax is deplorable.

Scene
- Spanish eating, American ideals (JACKIE OSTROWSKI Scene Writer)
Two days before boarding my plane from Chicago to Madrid last summer, I received an e-mail from a friend who was already in Europe and had begun her backpacking odyssey across the Continent. "They're all really thin, and they smoke constantly!" she wrote of the Europeans. A broad generalization, surely, but it was one I found to be near to the truth. In the weeks to come, as I too became a foreigner amongst swarms of Europeans, I couldn't help but notice how different their society seemed.
- Show good for a Jekyll, but the rest would do better to Hyde: Scene reviews the Broadway Theatre League's production of the musical "Jekyll & Hyde" at the Morris Performing Arts Center (By MATT KILLEN Scene Writer)
