Inside
- The sweetest Cupcake (By Maureen Smithe Associate News Editor)

Viewpoint
- Coverage of "Galileo" was simplistic (Beth Hoffmann senior)
I was very frustrated by both the review of the spring Film, Television and Theater (FTT) mainstage, "The Life of Galileo," as well as the accompanying editorial charging departmental shows with blandness and a "general lack of proper theatrical focus."

- Inconsistencies in Pax Christi proposal (Shawn Newburg junior)
I would like to point out a couple of the inconsistencies in Pax Christi's ideas about the ROTC programs. These inconsistencies are generally focused on their idea that all ROTC students should be required to take a class on just war theory. Now, I think that if we are to force these cadets and midshipmen to take these classes, we should take a closer look at the motives behind this wish.
- Protecting constitutional freedoms (Padraic McDermott sophomore)
Freedom of speech was in short supply in 1775 on the eastern seaboard of the United States and practically nonexistent elsewhere in the world. By 1789, freedom of speech was comfortably enshrined in the highest law in America and that law was being enforced. We might wonder if Michael Flannery is familiar with the events that transpired between 1775 and 1789. His letter yesterday casts doubt on his familiarity with the history of the subject he has taken upon himself.

The Catholic Church took a commendable step forward on Tuesday when Pope John Paul II acknowledged that sexual abuse by priests is not only an American scandal but also a global issue that the entire Catholic Church needs to address. While the pope recommended a strong zero-tolerance policy for cases of sexual abuse in the Church, American cardinals issued a vague proposal Wednesday that failed to establish a clear strategy for handling sexual offenders, leaving victims unsatisfied and the Church at risk for future problems.
