One of the main reasons I am proud to call myself a conservative is the emphasis the ideology places on common sense. From issues ranging from abortion to tax reform, conservatives often observe the facts and formulate logical positions. Unfortunately, however, many conservatives seem to lose such a faculty of reason when it comes to the issue of gun control.

You're a few weeks into this college thing and you’re feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you’re feeling lonely and like everyone else already has more friends. Maybe you’re feeling the opposite of lonely, like you’re surrounded by people you don’t know and you don’t like and you don’t know how to get away from them. Maybe you’re feeling homesick. Maybe you’re feeling scared, uninterested or inept in your new classes. Maybe you’ve heard for the last couple years how proud everyone is of you and how you’re going to do great things, but you don’t feel any great things happening yet.
A call for awareness

This past Thursday, September 8, the Observer published an Observer Staff Report titled, “Rape reported to [Notre Dame Security Police (NDSP)].” It stated that a rape, allegedly occurring between 7 p.m. Aug. 28 and 10 a.m. August 29 in Keough Hall, was reported to NDSP on Wednesday, Sept. 7, and that the crime log of another rape, occurring Aug. 5 in the Fischer graduate student apartments, was updated to indicate the rape had been reported to St. Joseph’s County Police. The Notre Dame student body did not receive an email alert from NDSP regarding these two reported rapes, nor did it receive emails regarding two other instances of interpersonal violence that have been reported since the beginning of the academic year.
