    • Questioning women's equality at ND (Carrie Graf sophomore)
      I am writing in response to Joanna Mikulski's Oct. 8 column. She's right. The rules for guys and the rules for girls are totally different at Notre Dame. However, why does she want to ruin the fun for everyone? Why does she want more security at guys' dorms? Guys don't want or need more security from what I've heard from my friends. And, as a frequent visitor of guys' dorms, I don't think they need to be more secure either.

    • HBO relates "Sex and the City" to all In a place without sex and without city, ND and SMC can still enjoy this HBO series (Contact Kate Nagengast at nagengast.3@nd.edu)
      The topics Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda discuss on HBO's hit show, "Sex and the City" are not typical dining hall fodder. These independent women celebrate, question, and fixate upon their sexuality almost constantly – a practice easier done in a New York nightclub than said at a Catholic university. But despite the culture gap created by Notre Dame and Saint Mary's lack of both sex and city, the show's witty writing and situational comedy makes the characters, their exploits, and especially their friendships, accessible and enjoyable even for viewers in South Bend.
