Every year, Scene honors the graduating class with a snapshot of the most critical cultural moments of their four years in the tri-campus community. That includes pop culture, campus culture and American culture at large. Won’t you take a walk down memory lane? Fall 2017 — Male consequence and the #MeToo movement The fall of

To my letter writers

Evy Stein | Thursday, September 5, 2019

Dear Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s and Holy Cross community members, The time has finally come for my inside column, and while I’ve been reading these for almost three years as an Observer employee, I’ve felt stumped this week. My peers have written about the everyday, the extraordinary and their pet peeves, but the most excited

A plea made not in vain

Julianna Conley | Thursday, April 25, 2019

For most, “The legging problem” hubbub is beyond us, the news stories quieted, the “Trending Stories” bar on The Observer website featuring a new lineup, yet I feel I must call attention to an issue that, to my knowledge, has been too long ignored: Maryann White’s repeated assertion that her views stem from her being

The cargo shorts problem

Letter to the Editor | Monday, April 1, 2019

I’ve thought about writing this letter for a long time. I waited, hoping that fashions would change and such a letter would be unnecessary — but that doesn’t seem to be happening. I’m not trying to insult anyone or infringe upon anyone’s rights. I’m just a Notre Dame student with a problem that only my

Observer Editorial: A call to campus dialogue

Observer Editorial Board | Friday, March 29, 2019

This week, The Observer has heard from mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, alumni, and, of course, many legging-wearing women. Having received over 35 letters to The Observer, in addition to the countless verbal comments, tweets, memes and class discussions about Monday’s letter, we have been astonished by the conversations the leggings piece has sparked. As the

Leggings and political polarization

Letter to the Editor | Friday, March 29, 2019

To the Notre Dame Campus Community: I’m not wearing leggings today, and I do not plan on wearing leggings tomorrow. Really, I have no problem with leggings, but this is why: Mrs. White is not trying to take away anybody’s ability to wear leggings. She has no power in the government, no power at the

You’ve got to draw the line somewhere

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, March 28, 2019

It is widely agreed that if a student came to class naked, it would be distracting, uncomfortable and inappropriate. It is widely agreed that if a student came to class with a single square inch of fabric over their genitals, it would be distracting, uncomfortable and inappropriate. It is also widely agreed that if a

Letter to the editor on clothing choices sparks protest

Maria Luisa Paul | Wednesday, March 27, 2019

An uproar has taken over campus after a Catholic mother of four sons shared her opinion on leggings in a Monday letter to the editor. In “The legging problem,” Maryann White pleads with Notre Dame women to be “the first to turn their back(sides)” on this popular garment — as by wearing it, she feels

Response to ‘The legging problem’

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, March 27, 2019

I am writing in response to Maryann White’s Letter to the Editor, “The legging problem.” In regard to the so-called legging issue, let me share the perspective of a male student coming from a family with two sisters. A Catholic university, rooted in tradition and family, cannot hope to progress into the future without intense scrutiny

Dear Ms. White

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, March 27, 2019

As someone who grew up in Pakistan and was made to buy jeans from the boys’ section through most of middle and high school, I come from a background where leggings are not widely accepted. That being said, I am sincerely and respectfully baffled and angered by your letter. Allow me to walk you through
