Inside
- Eulogy for a fallen comrade (by JUSTIN KRIVICKAS News Copy Editor)
Although I only got to know you in one night, in that time period, we shared each others deepest secrets and hidden aspirations. Both of us grew in the wisdom we had to offer each other and I knew we would be friends for life. But that was not meant to be. Like a baby taken away from its mother's bosom, I admit I wailed when I couldn't be near you anymore.

- 20th hijacker should not be executed (Charles Rice Right or Wrong?)
The Justice Department has charged Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker, in federal court with six counts of conspiracy to commit murder and other crimes. Allegedly, he took flying lessons to participate in the Sept. 11 attacks. On that day, he was in jail for visa violations. Attorney General John Ashcroft is seeking the death penalty.
- Quote of the Day (Hubert Horatio Humphrey former U.S. vice president)
"Compassion is not weakness."
- Sense of family provides stability abroad (Maite Uranga Life in Africa)
I just got back from my first vacation since I have been in Mauritania. I knew it was going to be great the minute I walked onto the Air France flight. It looked so clean and organized. The seats felt like absolute luxury, the food was great and there was actually the concept of customer service in action. The vacation portion of it involved mountains, trees, waterfalls, islands and ice cream. All of these Mauritania has little to none of — which made it wonderful.
- Don't let objectivity overshadow sympathy (Babu Kaza Law student)
I might ask why Todd Mobley felt the need to submit his April 19 letter ("View rape discussion fairly") considering his point was already adequately stated by Memo Tijerna: that people should be "innocent until proven guilty." A valid point, although somewhat obvious. Yes, there is a presumption of innocence in this country. However, it is unfortunate that it did not occur to either writer that Erin Kennedy's April 16 letter was a letter of sympathy and support and not necessarily an objective argument.
- TAs prove point (Brandon Fogel Graduate student)
Sigh. Graduate students have been defamed again. Our characters have been maligned, our capacities questioned, our motivations doubted.

Scene
- Pat McGee Band shines with passionate performance (By LAUREN BECK Scene Music Critic)
Pat McGee Band is well known for its mellow rhythms and lyrical ballads, but the band's Friday night performance was anything but sedate.
- Yorn brings songs from the heart (By DAVE FULTON Scene Music Critic)
Unfortunately, musician is a term that gets thrown around much too loosely these days when radio puts out more cheese than a Wisconsin dairy farm. Being able to dance around on a stage while lip-synching to songs written by someone else falls far short of musicianship.
- Paul McCartney still has what it takes (By JULIE BENDER Scene Music Critic)
April 10 was the 32nd anniversary of the Beatles breakup. And not since then has a band sounded so good. On his Midwestern stop on his "Driving Rain" tour, Paul McCartney brought his British pandemonium to Chicago's United Center last Wednesday night. Playing a set list of over 50 percent Beatles songs, McCartney showed an enthused audience that despite his nearly 60 years, he can still twist and shout.
