E d it o r ia l C a rto o n Ordinance illegality

Reading the articles and letters coMebouokS/ regarding the new “party” ordinance that is being pushed through the South Bend Common Council, I have two points to raise, one statistical and one constitutional. First, the data shown at the recent presentation by Council member Buddy Kirsits should be questioned sharply. He shows a rise in drinking related hospital admissions during THE the football season. Nowhere did I a see any mention of the fact that the population of South Bend increases by more than 50 percent during this time. The problem likely isn’t just at e boarding houses, but hotels, bars and tailgates. Perhaps the PA announce­ ment during the game should not be not to drink too much and drive, but simply not to drink too much. Perception is reality. So if the people of South Bend think that students are a problem, then, for them, they are. The ordinance, however, does not 3 deal with noise or drinking. It only directly limits the ability to gather freely. With the data correlating stu­ dent behavior to the disruptions a sketchy to begin with, it should take a first year law student about 10 min­ utes to get an injunction if the ordi­ nance is passed, for the City is clearly infringing on the residents of board­ ing houses right to assemble freely, without meeting even the basest of justifications. There is no way this would stand up to judicial review. My suggestion to the student gov­ ernment is to meet with Notre Dame’s General Council to discuss potential legal action, and if they decline (it may be out of their hands as they represent the University, not the students) hire a lawyer on you XV own. This is a civil rights attorney’s dream.

NFL Turnovers help Bengals defeat rival Ravens

McNair leaves with injured groin, replacement Boiler throws last-minute interception to end comeback effort

Associated Press

CINCINNATI — With wound- ed players shuffling off in waves, what was left of the Cincinnati Bengals rallied for a win that hurt so good. Steve McNair’s interception — his fourth gaffe of the game — set up Carson Palmer’s fourth-quarter touchdown pass, and Cincinnati’s suspect defense pulled off a goal-line stand Monday night that pre­ served a 27-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.z In a bruising season opener m atching the last two AFC North champs, the Bengals were the last one standing — barely. “We know it’s going to be a hard-fought game when we play -these guys — tough, physical,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “It’s important to in the physical football games because you put so much into it.” Kyle Boiler took over after McNair strained his groin in the fourth quarter — the last in a nonstop run of injuries for both teams — and led the Ravens to the 1-yard line in the closing seconds.
