Reading the current issue of "Notre Dame" magazine last week reinforced my opinion regarding ND and where it seems headed. One does not need to be a Catholic to understand how politically correct the school has become. Here and there the Administration has surrendered reasoned and timeless standards once demanded of students, all to what must be the delight and satisfaction of the abnormal and those who rule the secular universe of higher education. ND was once the best of the best simply because it unified strong academics with sound moral and social standards which in turn were demanded of all students who were selected to study there. It prepared graduates to do more than just earn dollars. This "character", as I think of it, was unlike Harvard, Yale or any other school in the U.S. The result was, I believe, an educational platform at the baccalaureate level second to none. Facilitating the "vagina monologues" at Notre Dame seems to have been the catalyst igniting the anger of many. However, my disappointment goes well beyond the disgusting nature of the presentation. It is that facilitating the "play" is emblematic of what seems to be an across the board and more damaging surrender by the Administration to the far left as to who and what ND now values and, therefore, where it is headed. True ND has gained enormous funding in recent years. But that is just money. The surrender of it's unique and historic character, willed or not, simply can’t be worth it. Now its just another good school. Bob VonHoene 1954
