Dear Editor: I’d like to respond to Miguel Sanchez' letter of February 20, 1996. Miguel, you astound me with your brilliant insights into the problems of Notre Dame. Your verbosity dazzles me as I read your letter about how JPW was a farce. Perhaps it would have been better titled: “I’m Miguel and You Should Think Like Me Because I Rnow Everything." You’re right. Damn the hypocrisy at this institution. How dare President Malloy, Lou Holtz, and Father Beauchamp smile at parents during Junior Parents’ Weekend! They should scorn the parents, treat them with malice, and shun them for raising children who are racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, homophobic drunkards. Father Malloy should have intro­ duced you over the P.A. so you could point out the ills of the Notre Dame society over prime rib and a cash bar. Damn the “Notre Dame family", since there really is no such thing. How dare we call our­ selves family in front of our true families! True families are as pure as the driven snow, without discrimination and selfishness. True families are not dysfunctional like the “Notre Dame family," right? All problems arise at Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving- why hide problems during grandiose events of seemingly false celebration? Damn racism. There should have been a special time during the weekend for us to dis­ cuss why there are only 73 African Americans in a class of 1,901 students, and how the admissions board is not “color-blind." JPW should have put particular emphasis on this topic, perhaps during a campus tour: right, Miguel? Damn Lou Holtz. His positive attitude and high morals are not what we want to let our parents hear! We want them to hear that we are pessimists in life, that there is no hope for change at this University, that we will never win another football game again. Why fill our parents with false hopes of a solid Catholic University that offers the best education in the country? And damn the slide show. We should have photos of whites and blacks fighting, of homo­ sexuals demanding to be heard, of women being assaulted. These are the pictures that would make an enjoyable weekend for parents at the nation’s top university. What fun is it to see men and women sharing good times, of white and black students arm in arm, of peo­ ple helping people? This, surely, cannot be Notre Dame: can it, Miguel? I found your article a disgrace to this University. You are shallow of mind and heart. You know nothing about what this institution stands for. If you know all the problems, you must have all the solutions. Introducing them at JPW is not the answer . Are you not informing your parents of what you think goes on here, or do you wait for them to come to a weekend celebration to hear this “rotten” profile of Notre Dame life? Notre Dame is not for everyone, Miguel. Perhaps you should pick up your cause at another university where your “words of wisdom” will be better appreciated.
