LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL CARTOON Truth behind the ordinance ' fP'revious discussion of the so-called South Bend party ordinance has largely missed the point. Instead of addressing the important issues which are at hand, the participants in this discussion have resorted to name-calling and using this issue to decry a perceived lack of Notre Dame student activism. Here is where that stops. The fact is this: The ordinance egregiously violates constitutional free assembly rights (see: the first Amendment) and directly tar gets a relatively disenfranchised part of the population- that is, non-resident students. It is for these reasons that I am opposed to the ordinance, and any other legislation that violates my rights as a citizen of the United States. Chris Higgins junior St. Edward's Hall Sept. 6 Thanks to fans Thanks to all the Irish fans who so warmly greeted us Tech followers last Saturday. Time and time again we were wished good luck and welcomed to the campus. Your fans showed far more genuine "southern hospitali ty" than we are accustomed to seeing at rival schools here in our region.
