Students comment on parietals, protest

The decision not to extend parietals was a disappointment to many students on this campus.
However, if you listen to students talk about this issue, they will have you believe that they are being abused. Do not believe them. As tyrannical as it is, you can survive the oppression experienced when the University limits your visiting hours to only 14 hours per day.
Some students have decided to protest this totalitarianism by sleeping on the Quad during one of the nicest nights of the year. While some people do this for fun, and call it "camping out," the people you saw on South Quad were protesting and are therefore martyrs.
For the rest of us, let's try to stick it out for the remainder of our Notre Dame careers and try to pretend that we have it reasonably good here despite all the abuse we experience.
