Inside
- To Whom It May Concern (Chris Federico Production Assistant)
As a proud student of the University of Notre Dame, I am extremely concerned with following the principles and guidelines of du Lac, our guide to student life. Recent issues have arisen, especially on home football days, which have drawn my attention and made me extremely apprehensive of how I should govern my behavior in such instances.
Viewpoint
- Extreme pacifism contradicts the Church (Charles Rice Right or Wrong?)
"The Real Terrorists Are in the White House." This sign, carried by a University of Michigan freshman, captures the spirit of one aspect of the vocal and growing anti-war movement. Such protests imply a moral equivalence between American foreign policy and the Sept. 11 attacks, implicitly viewing the latter as retribution for the former. Other anti-war activities, including peace vigils at Notre Dame, focus on prayer and a rejection of all violence.
- Quote of the Day (Benjamin Franklin author, statesman)
"It is a common observation here that our cause is the cause of all mankind,
- Personality, not color, distinguishes people (Jennifer Gunitu What's Your Shade?)
Jennifer Diane Guintu, Filipino-American, one quarter Italian, minority — these terms are not who I am, they are definitions given to me by society, definitions which fail to describe my personality and what makes me unique. So what then is my identity, I ask myself. To be honest I am in a state of confusion because my concept of identity changes daily and develops as I explore the world around me.
- Racism has no place at Notre Dame Racism has no place at Notre Dame (Anna Barbour Get a Life)
Before I begin my article, let me just send out a big "Happy Birthday" to a good friend of mine who turns 22 today. Just like Bobby Brown, as a Notre Dame Observer Viewpoint writer, it's my "prerogative" when I choose to take the reader down twisty written pathways of the mind. I extend her this notice to have a happy birthday because even though the birthday week should be one of the better weeks in one's year, I know that hers began rather poorly.
- There's something about Mary (Father J. Steele On the Way)
Recently I have been asked by a number of students about the Catholic understanding of Mary. Most of us cradle Catholics do not tend to question such things. We are raised with certain beliefs or practices and we just accept them. We do not usually look for reasons behind them and may even suspect that there aren't any.
