For the record, I've always enjoyed my time living on campus. That being said, I can't wait to blow this surreal popsicle stand that we call living on-campus at Notre Dame.
- ROTC students deserve praise for their service (Gregory Conners sophomore)
I would like to write something that I have all too rarely seen addressed in the Viewpoint section of The Observer. I would like to commend the ROTC students from all three branches on campus. The Veterans Day Vigil and the Retreat Ceremony were a wonderful tribute not only to those that served our country so valiantly and selflessly throughout our nation's history, but also a tribute to the Cadets and Midshipmen themselves.
- Take action on Ethiopian poverty (Monica Fernandez freshman)
Yesterday morning, when my home Web page opened (www.bbc.co.uk), I could not help my eyes from watering down while I read the headlines. Maybe I am too sensitive. On the other hand, whoever hears about six million people that are under direct threat of death and at least 15 million people who will face famine in the next year without their hearts breaking a bit, is probably too insensitive.

- `Kingdom Hearts' Squaresoft's latest provides heartthrob graphics and heartbreak gameplay (By C. SPENCER BEGGS Scene Editor)
"Kingdom Hearts" is a bit of a hard game to explain because of its extremely strange style. It's a battle-adventure with elements of role paying games spliced in that's set in multi-dimensional worlds of which some are like the beach societies of "Final Fantasy X" and others realms of Disney movies. That's right: Disney movies.
