Gray Davis announced a plan today for closing a loophole in the pro­ tection of certain old-growth trees in California, but some environmentalists attacked the proposal as far too modest and vowed to place an initiative on the ballot next year to strictly limit the cutting of the state's remaining old trees. The proposed rule would generally define old-growth trees as 200 years old or older.

X t l l l Ttl s h ill The Observer’s explanation falls short

In defense of The Observer regarding last week’s alleged assault headlines, the staff made a rightful attempt to justify their reasons for allowing unconfirmed and perhaps misleading information onto the front page of our school newspaper. Unfortunately the response did not curb my frustrations over last week’s head­ lines, nor did it present a logical motive guiding the actions of The Observer. Instead, the Friday column twisted the philosophy behind good journalism in order to cover the staff s mistakes. Irish fans act up in The Observer typically does a good job of presenting pertinent information to our campus. With reference to the rape allegations, they had an inarguable responsibility to report that an assault had been documented by security on Aug. 31 and emphasize that the facts were still unclear. Printing room numbers as N ebraska means of increasing awareness about the incident, however, was a step away from journalistic responsibility. Suggesting that room numbers were printed as a I am a sophomore at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and this letter is spurred by cautionary measure five days after the incident is a moot point. If someone else some atrocious acts I witnessed by Notre Dame fans after the game on Saturday. had been drugged they would have known by now and would not have needed During the game, I did see some Husker fans good-naturedly harassing the Irish, but room numbers to help them figure it out.

I wonder if they realize that they are fact.

I am inclined to believe that they are not an accurate representation of Notre Much like the vague articles that were allowed in last week’s newspaper, The Dame; however, I was appalled at the lack of sportsmanship displayed by Notre Dame Observer staff is simply confused. fans and hope that a better example will be set in the future.
