Viewpoint
- GOP allows anti-Catholic bigotry (Gary Caruso Capital Comments)

- How can you be bored here? (Kate Rowland Read this. It may save your life)

- Valentine has many meanings (Letter to the Editor )
St. Valentine's Day; a Christian festival commemorating the martyrdom of St. Valentine on Feb. 14, AD 270.
- St. Valentine's Day `sucks' (Letter to the Editor )
First of all, is it really even necessary? I mean seriously, if you really love someone, what makes some day in the middle of arctic February any more special than any other day? If you haven't already professed your love after a few beers at Finnigan's, what makes you think that a candlelight dinner and some chocolates will be that special? The bitter cold and South Bend nightlife should already be enough of a reason to stay in and get close. Valentine's Day isn't really a holiday, it's a pseudo-holiday made up by some marketing geniuses who wanted to give chocolate companies an "in-season." All the commercialization just makes me nauseous. I almost gave up eating this week so that I wouldn't have to go to Meijer and walk past 4 billion pink hearts just for some freaking eggs.

Such experiences foster personal growth and altruism. Yet we find it difficult to believe that the ever-growing number of applicants to ACE, Holy Cross Associates and other service projects reflects an ever-growing desire to perform post-graduate service work.
