Viewpoint
- Viva Las Vegas (Mike Marchand Undistinguished Alumnus)
There's absolutely nothing in the world quite like Las Vegas, and there's absolutely no way to experience it quite like doing so with your mother. Oh sure, it's nice, this being her very-delayed-thanks-to-Sept. 11 graduation present for me, but all the same, it's strange seeing your mom looking over your shoulder at the blackjack tables. "Hey, split those eights, kiddo. We're getting lunch, you want something to eat? Oh, hey, dealer busts! Booyah!"

- Experiencing the reality of famine (Maite Uranga Life in Africa)
One of my friends sent me a newspaper article a month ago about a famine in Mauritania. It was from six pages into the newspaper, 50 words long and simply said there was a famine and food aid was being collected. Non-governmental organizations in the capital talked about the famine and predicted mass malnutrition and possible starvation. They cited statistics from unknown studies: "This is the lowest amount of rainfall in 40 years. In addition, the last three years have also received low rainfall so the food reserves within the country are running dangerously low. And the cold spell in January killed many goats and cows further adding to the food shortages."

- Irish-British conflict kills Blair's political credibility (Michael Cummings Member, National Board)
The performances in Parliament and Blackpool of Prime Minister Blair and Foreign Secretary Straw about the use of force against Iraq gave a new luster to those time-honored English values of hypocrisy and arrogance. No doubt some were convinced of the need for force, but is Britain, with its track record of deceit and violence in Ireland, in any position to convince others?
