Inside
- Popes and prophecy (A.J. Boyd Assistant Viewpoint Editor)
On the Ides of March (only coincidentally my birthday) last week, nearly 500 people were killed in a Waco-like conflagration in Uganda. Like some sort of Catholic Branch-Davidians, these eschatological radicals believed that the Virgin Mary had promised them that March 15 was the end of the world. And for them it was.
Viewpoint
- Social notes from a bygone era (Mary Beth Ellis Changes in Lattitude, Changes in Attitude)
Authors Note: Grace Hall is home to fax machines and tie-wearing folk in this modern era, but in timeworn days of yore (1996), Grace was an actual dormitory housing actual male students wearing actual khakis. From The Observer's society pages of that halcyon age we bring you this snippet of that genteel gentlemen's domain — otherwise, look for it only in the memories of plaid-wearing, American Express Platinum Card-waving alumnus, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a civilization gone with the wind...
- It's time to laugh at fear (Kate Rowland Read This. It May Save Your Life.)
Over break I went to the dentist to get some cavities filled. I hate going to the dentist. I'm terrified of it. Every time I have to go I dread it for weeks, and when the actual appointment comes around I can barely drive myself there. Sitting in the dentist's chair on Thursday I just about passed out hyperventilating. I don't know why I am so scared of the dentist. I have never had a cruel, sadistic, or even an unpleasant dentist. It's my own personal irrational phobia; I don't even pretend to be brave about it. I just whine and mope and shake a lot when I have to go.
- Honor donors in church (Letter to the Editor )
I wish to respond to the letter of Salvadora Hernandez in The Observer March 6, 2000. The letter in point was headlined "Don't discriminate in church."
- Let's end the graffiti dance (Letter to the Editor )
The Graffiti Dance was a memorable point in my Freshman Orientation at Notre Dame late last summer. Unfortunately it was memeorable for all the wrong reasons. Besides becoming very good at finding a place left on my t-shirt for people to sign and relating my name, dorm and probable major, I came away with nothing more than a t-shirt full of names that meant nothing, phone numbers that would never be called and disbelief in the fact that the graffiti dance was supposed to be the highlight of official Freshman Orientation social events.

- Oasis gets back to basics in Japan (By SEAN KING Scene Music Critic)
Oasis continued its string of sold out concerts across Japan March 5, delivering a hard-hitting 90-minute set to over 15,000 hollering fans. After an often tumultuous and self-evaluating two years for this band, Japan is the perfect place to get back to just playing blue-collar rock 'n' roll and letting the rest take care of itself.
- Campus band sets the `standard' with new CD (Corey Hartmann Scene Music Critic)
One of the greatest things in the world is when you buy or come across a CD that you know absolutely nothing about, listen to it and then really enjoy it.
- Compilation CD offers the best of the London club scene (Tom Ogorzalek London Scene Music Critic)
In the vast mental wasteland that is popular culture, there are two beacons that serve as guides for those who seek Complete Mindlessness. The first is Howard Stern and his cohorts, having polluted our airwaves in their attempts to make us laugh and gasp. The second, far less menacing Essence of Mindlessness, is dance music. When one wants to simply get down, ignoring all other qualifications that would otherwise be required for something to be considered art, it is not necessary to look any further than the nearest Eurotrash discotheque.
