Viewpoint
- Notre Dame should voluntarily recognize workers' right to organize (Progressive Student Alliance Brigitte Gynther, president)
As a Catholic institution of higher learning, the University of Notre Dame has a unique obligation to uphold Church teaching on matters of social justice both through instruction and operation. Notre Dame's commitment to Catholic social tradition must be evident not only in the classroom, but also in the University's relationships with all members of the campus community. Given the deplorable labor practices currently being revealed at other universities nationwide, it is particularly important that Notre Dame demonstrate a commitment to those workers' rights recognized as fundamental by Catholic social teaching.
- Remembering JFK during campaign visit (Gary Caruso Capitol Comments)
Forty years ago, my father took me to see President John F. Kennedy campaign during the mid-term election for candidates in Pennsylvania. Kennedy first spoke in Pittsburgh and then traveled to our county seat which was eight miles from our home.

Our student body president has taken a step toward building a diverse community at Our Lady's University.
- Marching with class (Ken Dye director of bands)
