Long lines and more
While it is understandable that the University is trying to keep scalpers out of the student section and increase the concentration of students, part of the enjoyment of the games comes from outsiders being in the student section. If a friend or family member of a University student wants to sit in the student section and watch the game with a University student, they should be allowed to do so.

Don't harass
The "don't ask, don't tell" policy forbids military officials from making inquiries about soldier's sexual orientation, but it also allows them to discharge anyone who openly admits to being homosexual. This is intolerant and a clear violation of civil and human rights. It forces gays and lesbians to choose between serving in the military and freely expressing themselves, a choice no one should have to make - anyone who does declare their homosexuality can be discharged. Anyone who is gay and wishes to serve in the military must live in silence and denial.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled...
This week marks the 26th anniversary of the legalization of abortion in the United States. Multitudes will celebrate Roe v. Wade throughout the week.

Viewpoints: Protest at symposium evoked King's true spirit
Attendees of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Lecture in Hill Auditorium Monday morning were witness to a presentation rich in the ideals of King and inspiring in our dedication to fulfilling his vision. Unfortunately, it only lasted about 5 minutes, and it did not involve the headlining speaker. As Dr. Henry Gates was approaching the podium to begin his address, nearly a dozen students calmly stepped in and took control of the microphone. There, they articulated a poignant message to the University's guests, faculty and "especially students."

Viewpoints: Ellerbe needs to change his style of basketball
Traylor is gone and so should that style of basketball. No matter how much we pretend, Asselin, Vignier and Young are not big men. Asselin is no center and I'm reluctant to call any of them power forwards. They consistently don't produce the points we need. Moreover we are at our absolute worst when two out of the three play together at the same time. Asselin's double doubles are horrendously misleading.
