Inside
- Where are the sages? (AJ Boyd Associate Viewpoint Editor)
Where have all the prophets gone? What has happened to the wise, the sages and the gurus? Where are the voices that cry out from the wilderness preaching reform and penance and peace? Is it that our society locks them up in a failure to respect what was once recognized as a message from on high, or are they simply no more?

- The Notre Dame Connection (Joanna Mikulski Tuesday Voice on Friday)
Last Friday I sat in the Cincinnati-Western Kentucky Airport, waiting for a plane to take me to Philadelphia. Every half-hour or so, an apologetic Delta employee announced over the microphone that the departure would be another half-hour or so later than planned. Two hours after the scheduled departure time, I called my mother. ÒMom, sorry but I wonÕt be home for Easter this year. The plane to take me to Philly isnÕt going to arrive before the one to return me to Notre Dame.Ó

- College must warn about poison lawns (Letter to the Editor )
I wish to protest the totally unneccessary chemical spraying of Saint MaryÕs lawns on Wednesday, April 26. A friend and I walk to school together, along the old railroad track and across the fields at Saint MaryÕs. Walking home on Tuesday, we breathed in delicious, health-giving air laden with the scent of blossoming cherries and just-opening lilacs. Returning on Wednesday morning, we were nearly choked and entered Madaleva coughing. We were unable to walk on any grass for fear of poison Ñ but had to stick to the pavement. As we approached we saw a man actually spraying the chemicals. He had no mask or protection of any kind.
