An Open Letter to the University of Notre Dame du Lac Community

The Student Union Senate of the University of Notre Dame after much research and thought within the committee structure believes that The Observer's editorial policy, including articles, editorials, and advertisements, should be independent of the administration of the University. We believe that The Observer holds itself to the highest standard of journalistic integrity including its decisions concerning which advertisements

.lo appear withirr the paper. The Office of the President of the University has acted beyond the limits of its professional relationship with The Observer in its decision to censor advertisements, in particular those from the Gay and Lesbian Alumni of Notre Dame and St. Mary's College. In a letter dated December 6, 1983 from Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, then President of the University, to David Dziedzic, then The Observer editor­ in chief, Father Hesburgh outlined the relationship between the University and The Observer. In this letter, Fr. Hesburgh states unequivocally

The administration of the University has ensured the editorial freedom of The Observer in the past and continues to do so. A three-member arbitration board, agreeable to The Observer and the University, to adjudicate changes of editorial interference meets with my approval. In turn, The Observer will meet its responsibility of financial accountability by participating in the Unit Budget System.

Therefore, the Office of the President of the University has acted contrary to University policy as set forth in this letter, and thus inappropriately. In closing, we further reiterate our belief that The Observer needs to be editorially independent in all respects from the University administration in order to fulfill its duties of informing and being ·~~- responsive to our community.

Sincerely Yours in Notre Dame,

I'm embar­ Sunset Lodge in Michigan rassed to say that I was actually surprised by their willingness to share such an intimate detail, especially in a culture which appears to marginal­ Campus Bible Study ize anyone who would make such a commitment, and certainly anyone Tuesday, November 16, 7:00\un. Badin Hall Chapel who would proudly proclaim it. Even as such a choice and such honesty are remarkably refreshing, I don't feel comfortable using even their first Graduate Student Bible Study Group names here for fear that they might come to be known and thought fools Wednesday, November 17, 8:00 p.m. for such a choice in our time. The claim that "The names have been Wilson Commons changed to protect the innocent," has never meant so much. Both that they are innocent and that, in our time, they need to be protected. Interfaith Christian Night Prayer Even as I am quite sure there is a silent substantial minority, if not Wednesday, November 17, 10:00-10:30 p.m. majority at Notre Dame who live chaste lives, whether by choice or not, Walsh Hall Chapel - theirs are not the stories we hear. For some reason, it is not the least bit A spirit-filled, student-led power half hour of prayer and fashionable, or hip, or cool, or trendy, or whatever the contemporary par­ music for students of all Christian faith traditions lance would label it these days, to talk about sex unless, of course, you're getting some. In what imagineable context, afterall, would someone who chooses chastity have to brag about his or her latest exploits? What has created the culture in which we are supposed to be embarrassed for mak­ ing morally relevant choices? How is it that we have come to a time when sex is portrayed as a virtual recreational activity for which the only moral criterion is mutual consent? I have no answers, and I realize I risk offend­ ing many by even taking up the question, but it's high time we stopped to reflect on the choices we've made, and will make, in this regard. There is much confusion these days about just what chastity is or why one would choose it. It is all too often thought to imply repression. Sadly, we speak little of the merits of it, even as the choice of it would undoubtedly enhance the lives and happiness of all who would choose it. In an article in America, Mary Patricia Barth Fourqurean writes that "chastity means passionate love for God, others and ourselves, a three­ fold love expressed in three different ways," through marriage, vowed religious life, or the single life. Chastity does not necessarily imply celiba­ cy. The chaste marriage is not sexless, but faithful. For vowed religious, celibate chastity frees us from the exclusive bond of marriage in order to be freer to serve God and others. For those who are not called to religious life, and who are not yet married, chastity means "a temporary, non-geni­ tal commitment to this three-fold love of God, others and ourselves." The Thirty-third Sunday In Ordinary Time grace in the decision to be chaste is that one is freed from having to rene­ gotiate the limits of sexual expression with every encounter and every Weekend Preslders relationship, and that one is freed from having to play sexual ga:mes. Ultimately, what we probably most need to hear about chastity is at Sacred Heart Basilica that it increases our own sincerity by assuring us that we will not say Saturday, November 13 Mass more with our bodies than we mean with our hearts. It does not rule out 5:00p.m. rich intimate relationships; it fosters them. Each and all of us long to be Rev. Michael J McCarthy, S.J. men and women of integrity, and to live lives which reflect that which we Sunday, November 14 Mass believe. In a world which seeks instant gratification, there is the real dan­ 10:00 a.m. ger that we do not reflect enough about something so important. This is especially true when the worst choices we make in this regard are so often Rev. James B. King, C.S.C induced by alcohol. Some of the most painful conversations I have had as 11:45 a.m. a rector and as a priest have had to do with the deep regret young men Rev. John A. Herman, C.S.C. and women have after expressing themselves sexually in a way that was not consistent with who they knew themselves to be, and whom they want so desperately to be again. It's time to rise to the challenge of living the lives that deep down Scripture Readings we know we want. It's time to consider who we are and who we want to 1st Reading Proverbs 31: 10-13, 19-20, be. It's time to support others who would make the same choice, either to .. 30-31 maintain their virginity or to reclaim their chastity. The choice for chastity is not about outdated traditions and strictures; it's about living life with 2nd Reading 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-6 integrity. Please don't enter into a sexual relationship because you can't Gospel Matthew 25: 14-30 think of a reason not to, or because "everybody else is doing it." Enter in because you love the other, and because all of who you are says "Yes!" in the context of a lifetime commitment. C. S. Lewis said it far better than I when he spoke to a group of col­ lege students at Oxford, "Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine ("AM PUS what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily " MINISTRY ..--~------.--~- ---- ~ -~~----~------~------~------~---~

Support the Student Senate's Resolution

Last evening, the Notre Dame Student Senate voted on two actions in response to the action taken by the administration of the University of Notre Dame in relation to the advertising policies of The Observer. The first, a resolution calling for the creation of a body to determine a statement of policy defining the relationship between the administration and The Observer. The statement of policy defining the relationship between the administration and The Observer. The second, an open letter to the Notre Dame Community arguing for the need of ~··:truly editorially independent newspaper from the administration. Both documents came after a long and arduous process of research and revision. In response to this action, the Office of the Undergraduate Student Body President commends and supports these actions by the Student Senate. Furthermore, we continue to stand by our previous position which was outline in our editorial that appeared in the September 17, 1999, edition of The Observer. In addition to providing news and advertisements to the Notre Dame and Saint Mary's communities, The Observer provides a learning environment for those individuals who work diligently and faithfully to meet deadlines and provide a fair and unbiased product. With this responsibility, the students involved should have a right to deem which articles and advertisements will be used and how the articles and advertisements will affect their audience. The University's action, when it requested that The Observer not take advertisements from the Gay and Lesbian Alumni of Notre Dame and Saint Mary's College, raises the question as to competency to adequately perform their duties. Furthermore, in the absence of a clear policy, it is not evident as to which requests by the University, if any, should be adhered to by The Observer. It is our contention that The Observer should seek to define its professional

, relationship with the University of Notre Dame in all respects; by virtue of this 1 I belief, we question the behavior of the University as stated by the Student I Senate. In the absence of a concise professional relationship, the ability of The Observer to report news it deems as pertinent and portray advertisements it believes to be important is severely undermined. Therefore, we ask the undergradl.lftte student body to support the actions taken by the Student Senate last evening.

Respectfully,

The Office of the Undergraduate Student Body President. ----.... It
