Viewpoint
- Sodomy laws are discriminatory (N. Eugene Walls graduate student)
It is important that people understand that there is more at issue in the Supreme Court case regarding the Texas sodomy law than the "right to privacy." Currently in the United States there are basically two types of sodomy laws. The first type is a law that pertains to certain consensual adult sexual acts (usually oral and anal intercourse) regardless of whether these acts are committed by opposite-sex partners or same-sex partners.
- McNeff needs to show responsibility, not students (Mike Hewett senior)
In her letter on April 29, Jessica Monokroussos decries students who are clamoring "for the University to step in as if it is mommy or daddy," referring to the Boat Club civil lawsuit brought against students by proprietor Mike McNeff. She goes on to say that students should "act like adults and take responsibility for their own actions." I agree completely, Ms. Monokroussos, but I refuse to equate acting responsibly with facing a frivolous lawsuit that, if successful, would put an extra $600,000 in the hands of such a good citizen like McNeff, who was obviously victimized by the deceptive wiles of students.
- Have confidence in the past and faith in the future (Adam Cahill A Domer's Outlook)

- The party year in review (Joe Muto Muto Time)
I love the last two weeks of school in South Bend. It's like God's apology for the other 35 weeks. It's sunny and warm; off-campus parties move outside; and the administration imports girls from UCLA and pays them to rollerblade around campus in sports bras and smile at all the prospects. Oh yeah, and the fountains get turned back on. That makes me happy.
