■ L e t t e r t o t h e E d it o r ■ Letter to the Editor Student Voices ND/SMC Silenced in Move Right to Life

It was highly disappointing to read the rather flaccid article printed in the Sept. 7 issue of The Observer concerning the removal of Notre Dame’s student publications from the La Fortune Student Center to the basement of Explains Position South Dining Hall. When I was interviewed for the article, I had high hopes that Christine Kraly would finally publically expose the strong-arm approach the administration took toward the move and the publications themselves. Certainly, I cannot claim to have an objective view concerning this move. However, I was extremely disappointed to realize how ephemeral the arti­ cle made the damage done to these publications seem. I’m certain the administration, specifically Joe Cassidy and Bill Kirk, was happy to know that the majority of problems expressed in the article could be solved with a few phone calls and a few more dollars. More importantly, I think the student body and administration should know that we will not be appeased by a few more chairs and repairing the leaks. These issues are not the problem. I was surprised by the pro-administration approach taken by the article. I realize that this writer was simply attempting to maintain an objective balance. Yet, in doing so, 1 believe central issues were ignored. The stu­ dents have been ignored and that angers me. The issue is bigger than the ‘‘million annoying little things that haven’t come together," as Pat Downes, editor-in-chief of Scholastic, was accredited as saying. 1 believe he knows, as do the rest of the publication staffs, that this move was not at all about students. Moreover, even solving these million little problems will not restore these publications to the high level of communication and opera­ tion we once possessed in the LaFortune Student Center. We have been told that the administration is considering moving the publications back to the student center in four years. I really appreciate the administration’s savvy approach to this issue. In four years, any stu­ dent who knows the importance of being in the student center will be gone. Our voices will be silenced. My hope is that some freshman will be browsing through The Observer’s archives and find this article. I address the rest of my letter to you dear freshmen:

Dear Future Freshmen, I wish I were a more naive person. Perhaps then 1 would more easily accept that separating the voice of the student body from the center of the student body was, in fact, a decision made with our best interests in mind. As for consulting the publications involved, the administration must be deaf because none of the publications wanted to move and were, for the Notre Dame/Saint Mary’s Right to Life Club would like to disclaim any most part, consulted only after the decision had been made. Only at that involvement with the activities of the Pro-Life Action League during the point, once our fate was sealed, were concerns about safety and access to Michigan football game. We do not believe that a negative campaign against other groups addressed. Don’t believe for one second anyone agreed to former senator Bill Bradley’s presence on campus furthers our efforts to move. This move was a decision made by the administration for the admin­ change hearts and save lives on our campus and in the greater Notre istration. We never demanded new desks or darkrooms, or 24-hour access Dame/South Bend community. for our entire staffs. We suffered through bee-hives and 1970’s furniture, Though we do not identify with the measures taken by the Pro-Life Action but we didn’t complain. Our office space was ideal to us.

Ironic, isn’t it? all human life, from conception to natural death. So enjoy your semi-new desk, oh future freshman reader, and know that Bill Bradley may have excelled in the classroom, on the basketball court and the administration betrayed interaction with the student body, the most in the Senate chamber. He may have garnered praise for his prominent role in important need in a student publication, for your new desk. the areas of tax reform, international trade, pension reform, community build­ The score: Administration: 1 Students: 0. ing and race relations. But he has an abortion voting record that is nothing short of shameful. John Peschke In pointing out Bradley’s voting record, we are exercising the same right to Danielle Moore which the Notre Dame administration has appealed to justify his presence on Co-Editors-in-Chief campus. Bradley has been given an open forum at Notre Dame to express his The Dome Yearbook ideas on “Six New American Realities," and we respect his right to do so. But September 13, 1998 we do ask that the Notre Dame students and faculty also educate themselves on another American reality: the 25-year history of abortion on demand in this nation and Bradley’s collaboration with that reality. Bradley has voted to allow our tax dollars to pay for abortion on demand, to lift the ban on fetal tissue from induced abortions for transplant research and Something to engage in efforts to change abortion laws in foreign countries. Bradley even voted against an amendment to prohibit federal and state governments from discriminating against medical training programs that do not provide abortion training (in other words, in favor of requiring Catholic institutions to provide training for abortion procedures). on your Though the House and the Senate voted to ban the gruesome procedure known as partial birth abortion, Bradley was among the ranks of those who voted against the ban. Even typically pro-abortion senators like New York’s Daniel Patrick Moynihan were so repulsed by this procedure that they voted to override President Clinton’s veto of the ban. Bill Bradley, however, continued to mind? support this abortion procedure that physicians have deemed completely unnecessary, even to save the mother’s life. Notre Dame/Saint Mary’s Right to Life appeals to both students and faculty to educate themselves on the issue of abortion and its consequences in our soci­ ety, and to ask yourself whether disrespect for life in the womb is something Send it to us at that enhances or hinders the “New America" that Bill Bradley promotes. Ask yourself if an America that promotes abortion as a quick fix for growing popu­ lations in third world countries can call itself a promoter of development. Ask yourself if an America that offers pregnant mothers a “choice" harmful to them and their unborn children can call itself a friend of women. Ask yourself if an Viewpoint. America that denies unborn individuals the right to life outside the womb can call itself a nation committed to justice.

■ WOMEN'S SOCCER Irish fall head over Heels 5-1 Top-ranked UNC squad explodes in second half By BRIAN KESSLER Assistant Sports Editor

Chapel Hill, NC Coming off a 3-0 shutout over the Duke Blue Devils in the opening game of the Nike Carolina Classic at Fetzer field, the second-ranked Notre Dame women’s soccer team was ready to find out just how good the top-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels were. The Irish were confident that they could knock off the two-time defending National Champions. They thought they could put an end to North Carolina’s 48-game unbeaten streak. Yesterday afternoon’s 5-1 loss to Carolina in the marquis matchup of women’s college soccer, however, will definitely make the Irish rethink what it is going to take to end UNC’s streak and return the National Championship to South Bend. Early in the contest, it appeared like Notre Dame was ready to play. Less than a minute into the game, junior co­ captain Jen Grubb played the corner kick right to senior forward Monica Gerardo, who headed it past North Carolina’s all-American goalie, Siri Mullinix, giving the Irish a 1-0 lead at The Observer/John Daily the 55 second mark.
