Inside
- Wax Hands (Kylie Carter Lab Tech)
A few days ago, I saw a poster for Antostal, and, amidst all of the exciting planned events, I spotted the words "wax hand" for this Friday. I was immediately whisked back in time about five months.
Viewpoint
- Military protection of rights is a myth (Michael Flannery senior)
Congratulations to the ROTC cadets who participated in the Presidential Pass ceremonies and graduate to officer class in the U.S. armed forces. Like Connie Quinlan in her April 23 letter, I applaud their dedication, hard work and service to our country. I do not applaud, however, the institution for which they are going to work.
- Democracy needs support (Daniel Byrne class of '92)
I am writing to voice my strong support for Paul Graham's April 24 article regarding the importance of democracy in the workplace and at Notre Dame.
- There is danger of a new Notre Dame mystique (Todd David Whitmore The Common Good)
The Sunday South Bend Tribune reported that there have been seven allegations of rape against Notre Dame football players since 1998. Kathy Redmond, the director of the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes, comments, "I receive more calls from students regarding Notre Dame than any other school in the country. I feel like I am always dealing with Notre Dame in one way or another."
- Studying abroad is hard, but worth it (Marlayna Soenneker Here We Go Again: Letters From Exile)
So far this semester, all my columns have related to me being in Ireland but concentrated on something more relevant to the bulk of Notre Dame students. In this final column, however, I want to write entirely about the abroad experience itself.
- Student Government does help diversity (Joyce De Leon junior)
I must say Jourdan Sorrel's April 22 letter hurt me. Although I agree with him about some students' lack of initiative and movement on important issues, you do not know the entire picture. For you to say that Student Government has done nothing to improve race relations on campus personally offends me for I was the Diversity Chair in that office this past year. Not only was I able to put on a successful Multicultural Fair where over 400 students, both minority and white, attended, but I also worked extensively to have a Learning to Talk about Race retreat for student leaders in Student Government and a training workshop for multi-cultural commissioners. In addition, I created forums and panels where at least 50 students, mostly white to your surprise, attended to finally open up dialogue about diversity, AIDS, religion and sexual orientation.

Scene
- Personal trials featured in `Lanes' (By BRIAN BIRCHER Scene Movie Critic)
Have you ever wondered if you had done one thing differently could your day, or even your life, have turned out better? This is one of the questions that "Changing Lanes" attempts to make the audience consider. Unlike other films with similar premises, such as "Sliding Doors" or "The Family Man," "Changing Lanes" makes this not a question of chance, but one of morality — there is doing what is right and doing what is wrong.
