Inside
- Are you called? (Angela Campos Lab Tech)
As the end of the school year approaches and graduation looms overhead, those of us who are seniors have to look at where we stand and where we will be in the next couple months.

- Letters criticize alcohol policy New standards will not solve drinking problem (Kate Coughlin class of '97)

- Letters criticize alcohol policy Community and tradition destroyed by unfair policy (Grant Gholson resident assistant)
Several weekends ago, I was at a ResLife job fair hunting for an assistant rector position for next year. Time and time again, potential employers, all employees in the residential life field themselves, praised Notre Dame for our fantastic dorm system. How, they wanted to know, did we manage to keep so many kids on campus and maintain our famous school spirit? Simple, I said, it's the dorm life. Living in the dorms is fun — they're like fraternities, and our dorm mates are like family members.
- Letters criticize alcohol policy Administration ignores student concerns (Vinnie Zuccaro sophomore)
Love them or hate them, you have to hand it to members of the administration for knowing what they are doing regarding the recent changes in the alcohol policy. Inevitably, more students will move off campus because they are fed up with being treated like children, leaving more dorm rooms for incoming freshmen. Students over the age of 21 who live on-campus will most likely welcome their new-found ability to tailgate at the cost of their right to have hard liquor in their rooms.
