Inside
- Bombs away (Dustin Ferrell Assistant Viewpoint Editor)

- Give grounds crew more credit (Letter to the Editor )
Eight thousand tulips from Denmark. Who plants them? No, they do not travel first class and plant themselves. Where do all the cigarette butts that students carelessly flip on the ground in front of Madeleva Hall disappear to? No, there is not some tobacco junkie lurking around at night collecting them. And who keeps the grass from growing to resemble an overgrown jungle? No, ducks don't eat grass, and even if they did, they couldn't eat that much. The answer to all of these questions lies in the "Green Men" about campus. These "Green Men," otherwise known as the Grounds Crew, do not receive the respect that they deserve, and that must be changed!
- Readers react to Pax Christi (Letter to the Editor )
Contrary to Ben Peters and Kyle Smith, who's May 1 letter expressed the view that ROTC on campus is a cause to mourn, it is indeed something for which we at Notre Dame have cause in which to take great pride.

- Schwinndled! A Scene reporter goes undercover to enter the labyrinth-like mind of the bicycle thief (Andrew McDonnell Scene Writer)
My bicycle. My sweet red machine. My beloved pedal donkey. My spokey crusader. I had so many names for her. Hen-rietta, the Fiery-Eyed. She was real to me. Sleek red with a sturdy frame, a goose starling squeeze-horn, wheels that could make a man turn blindly on his side and scream for caramel.
