Viewpoint
- Don't be afraid to let our children grow (By GABRIEL MARTINEZ )
"More than merely saving lives, those lives should be worth living. Many poor countries are experiencing explosive population growth, far beyond their ability to provide a decent standard of living. Much of this is due to the effect of modern science, for example in health and agriculture," (David Sheldon, The Economist, Sept. 4, 1999.)
- Celebrate Saint Mary's Pride (By NAKASHA AHMAD )

- We need patriotism consistent with Christianity (Letter to the Editor )
I can understand how some may feel hurt by Father Cordaro's dissent against the military. A verbal attack on the military is an attack on our very reality. We live in a country which is unarguably the largest military power in the world. Here at Notre Dame, we have a history of military involvement dating back to the Civil War. We claim a larger percentage of undergraduates enrolled in ROTC (10 percent) than any other voluntary ROTC program. We must never forget the sacrifices of the countless soldiers who gave their lives for the good of their fellow citizens; they indeed "did it all for (us)." How can we not be humbled by their self-sacrifice and commitment to a higher cause?
- How we learned to be oppressed (Letter to the Editor )
Last week, we saw a flier advertising a lecture by renowned Latino film director Gregory Nava concerning the Latin American experience in America. We said to ourselves, "Hey! We're interested in Latin American culture! We should go!" We were not aware at this time that it was to be a chance to be oppressed!
