Inside
- That's entertainment (Dustin Ferrell Assistant Viewpoint Editor)
Let me first recognize a moment of silence in lieu of the disproportionate bashing given to Patrick McKeever in yesterday's edition of The Observer. Not since the infamous "parasite" letter insulting Saint Mary's students has a letter to the editor received such hot-tempered reactions. I would just like to make one more point on the situation: Cowboy Mouth stinks. And so does any project involving that whiny punk from Matchbox 20.
Viewpoint
- Questionable solutions to overpopulation (Justin Kempf Right to Life)
When I think of government-sponsored human rights violations, the first examples that come to mind are China, with its well documented abuses, and Milosevic's reign of terror in Kosovo. Thanks to the advent of technology and mass media we are made aware of and confronted by these atrocities every time we check the latest news reports. It is interesting however, that despite the ability of the media to cover a vast range of topics with great depth they miss some of the most blatant human rights violations. Those that are quietly condoned and sometimes supported by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
- Clean plates are a small part of the solution (Andrzej Bednarski Junior, Keough Hall)
I make no pretenses; this letter conveys only the opinions of one person, plagued by the imperfection of life and cynical of his ability of rectifying them. Nonetheless, when faced with criticism as to the Clean Plate Protest, I feel that I must respond and defend my actions.
- Pick on someone your size! Letter to the editor (Mike Speaker Senior, off-campus)
A question to all the guys of ND: I'm 6'3" and 220 pounds. Can I dress up in a kilt, march around some, and then shove your girlfriend in her chest? Unless you're a lot different than I am, the answer is a resounding NO! What, then, gives our Irish Guard the right to do just that?
- Everyone needs a free press (Tim Byrne Progressive student alliance)
On Friday, the Observer carried an advertisement for OUTreach ND. In light of that I'm going to take the chance of saying something controversial about free speech and the need for a more open climate of free expression on this campus. Briefly, I claim that all of us, even the most conservative members of this community, should be committed to the free public expression of diverse convictions and the proliferation of groups espousing a variety of positions, even when such positions contradict the magesterium of the church.

Dr. Dre is one of the most influential individuals in rap music today, however over the last few years there hasn't been much heard from him. Dr. Dre (a.k.a. Andre Young) has always been known within the rap industry as a genius music producer, but with the debut of NWA Dre rose to prominence as a rapper.
