Inside
- Break out the tear gas (Dustin Ferrell Assitant Viewpoint Editor)
Sixties activist Tom Hayden calls it "the power of the street." Others liken the participants to the so-called "heroes" who protested the Vietnam War. And the environmentalists and anti-trade zealots around the world are shocked at the police brutality.
Viewpoint
- Police do more harm than good (Aaron Krieder Progressive Student Alliance)
Last week, tens of thousands of people went to Seattle to peacefully protest the erosion of democracy and the resulting increase in corporate power. Both of which are veiled under the rhetoric of "free trade" or "globalization" and are being promoted by the World Trade Organization (WTO). Thousands of people wanted to show the world that we would not stand aside as corporations are given the right to sue and prevent governments from enacting laws protecting the environment, labor and human rights. The WTO submits the laws of our nation, our state and our city to the rulings of an un-elected body. So how did the police react in this land of milk and "democracy?" The police rioted. They used tear gas in abundance, pepper spray, and rubber bullets.
- What are you doing Wednesday night? (Laura Antkowiak Right to Life)
Where will you be on Wednesday night, after your last day of classes? I imagine quite a few of you have big plans to hit the local drinking establishments, or perhaps Turtle Creek and College Park and/or maybe you will just sit around playing Nintendo.
- Supporting statements for the Irish Guard Some are just jealous (Patrick Coan Senior)
This is in response to Friday's letter to the editor "The Irish Guard must go." In August, I had the pleasure of experiencing a week of Guard tryouts. Despite the fact that I was not one of the five new lucky recruits to carry on this time-honored tradition, I do have a deep respect for them.
- Supporting statements for the Irish Guard Keep the Guard! (Jeremy Herzog Junior)
I am writing this letter in response to Mr. DiPasquale's letter to the editor in Friday's Observer about the Irish Guard. As a former member of the band, I had a role that required I work closely to the Guard on a regular basis. As a manager, I was responsible for marching 10 yards in front of the Guard and clearing a path for them and the rest of the band. In doing this job for two years, I gained a real understanding of the nature of the work the guard does.

- Oh where, oh where did 1999 go? (Geoff Rahie Scene Music Critic)
The critics told everyone this was the year rock fought back. This was the year all the teenybopper hit-makers would meet their match. This was the year it became cool again to buy an electric guitar and just jam, man!
- Mos Def album shows what hip-hop really has to offer (By JESSE DANG Scene Music Critic)
Every once in awhile, a hip-hop album arrives and changes the way people listen to and view hip-hop. Veteran hip-hop artists such as Public Enemy, Gangstarr and De La Soul, along with the modern day talents of Dr. Dre, Notorious B.I.G., Kool Keith and Lauren Hill, have continuously shaped hip-hop into what it is today. The highly anticipated debut of Brooklyn native Mos Def will add another name to that extensive list of artists that have contributed greatly to the hip-hop world.
- Originality is missing from new OLP album (By GEORGETTE LEONARD Scene Music Critic)
Our Lady Peace's live shows are not to be missed. They are explosive and they make cover songs sound fresh again. Early in their career as an opening band, OLP often outperformed the headliners. As a live band, they have their act down. As recording artists, OLP has its act down too, but not in a good way.
