Inside
- Identities of a college grad (Kate Steer Associate News Editor)
Five hours. After having spent more than 1650 hours in class over the past three and a half years and who knows how many hours studying, it all comes down to the five hours of class left in my college career. And in those five hours I will be turning in two 15-20 page papers, presenting one and taking two finals.
Viewpoint
- Putting different spins on the election (Gary J. Caruso Capital Comments)
Last night I sat a block from the White House at McPhearson Square, waiting in the rain for a friend. Two dozen homeless persons began lining up along the sidewalk waiting for a soup truck to feed them. Eventually, more than seventy men and women of all ages and races had been feed, oblivious to who should or will win the White House located just around the corner.

"You've gotta lose 'em some time. When you do, lose 'em right."
- Curtailing domestic disputes (Joshua Kirley Swift's Confederate)
Living with someone can often be difficult. After freshman year, there should be no roommate problems. After all, when you pick your roommates, what can go wrong? Right? Well, somehow, squabbles manage to surface among even the best of friends. That is, unless you follow my manual.
- Recognizing all our faults (Nathaniel Hannan junior)
Marc Echeveste's Nov. 29 letter addresses the alienation he feels from the Catholic Church's teachings on homosexuality. Being gay himself, he struggles very much with the idea that he has been picked out from the rest of the Church as objectively disordered, and that it could possibly be that God "made a mistake" with him and other gay people.
- Debating the possible ordination of women Questioning papal infallibility (Chris DesBarres sophomore)
I am writing in response to Carolyn Torson's letter in Thursday's Observer ("Keep the Pants on Priests").
- Debating the possible ordination of women Upholding the Church's teachings (Rev. John Patrick Riley, C.S.C. Pastor)
Since Pope John Paul II, the Vicar of Christ, has made it clear (to anyone using even half their brain to listen) that the Catholic Church is not in the business of ordaining women because Christ did not give it authority to do so, I see no harm in the Commission on Notre Dame's Position examining the possibility of ordaining them, whatever that is supposed to mean. Maybe it will keep the members of the Commission who dissent from the clear teaching and tradition of the Church from engaging in more harmful examinations of other impossible positions. God bless.
