It is out of the great respect I have for those in the Hopkins ROTC program and all who have or are currently serving in the armed forces that I write this opinion. Those associated with this program have all decided that their love for their country is so strong that they will give four years of military service to the United States, regardless of any personal feelings they might have as to the wisdom of their orders. I only wish I was of such strong character.

The answer is quite simple. A principle that our republic was founded on is that an adult is free to do whatever he or she wants, even commit some forms of bodily harm, as long as such action does not cause harm to any other citizen. But, that principle is also used to restrict the activities of individuals, to stop any one person's seemingly non-violent action from harming another. No one gets hurt if a man has six or eight beers in the space of an hour, but that might change if he gets behind the wheel. In that situation, and others in which harm to others is likely to occur, the government curtails individual freedoms.

For days hundreds of millions of Catholics across the globe mourned the death of the late Polish pontificate yet were enthralled by the prospect of who his successor should be. On Tuesday, the College of Cardinals elected Cardinal Ratzinger to be the next pope. There is great speculation about what Cardinal Ratzinger, now called Pope Benedict XVI will do in office.

I grew up with the Baltimore Orioles. Because I'm a New Yorker this must sound strange, but when one hears about certain details in my childhood it should come of no surprise. The biggest influence on this birds love was and still is my father: a Brooklyn-born Jersey boy who broke ranks with his Dodger-loving family and started rooting for the Orioles back in their glory days in the 1960s.

Generally everyone thinks of the same image when hearing the word sandwich; some form of meat, cheese or vegetable in between two pieces of bread. There was a time, however, when this standard lunch fare was not a part of the culinary vocabulary.

There are only two words to describe the weather conditions at the Occoquan Sprints on Sunday: clear and cold. According to sophomore Garrett Butler, "it was freezing and [the] water conditions were torrid" in Lorton, Va. at the Occoquan River. Forced to compete with constant 25 mile-per-hour winds and gusts reaching up to 40 miles per hour, the rowers of the Johns Hopkins men's and women's crew teams made do and raced on shorted courses ranging from 800 to 1250 meters. Teams from George Washington, Pittsburgh, Mary Washington, Richmond, Penn State, Virginia Tech, UMBC, Maryland, George Mason, Stockton, Loyola and Susquehanna all competed in the competition.

For the better part of last week, Johns Hopkins senior Matt Bouloubasis was in Waltham, Massachusetts, competing at the NCAA Fencing Championships. Held at Brandies University from March 25-28, the round-robin style tournament involved players from 33 NCAA Division I Fencing schools all competing for a number one spot in their respective weapons classes, or, in some cases, for enough combined victories for their team to capture an NCAA championship. The fact that Bouloubasis, who competed in the epee weapons class, was the lone Blue Jay at the tournament precluded Hopkins from factoring in the overall score at the NCAAs, (Ohio State University emerged as the winner). Bouloubasis did, however, finish in 20th place in his weapons class.

Coming off a week with seven straight wins, the Johns Hopkins men's fencing team looked to continue its success last Sunday at the Middle Atlantic Collegiate Fencing Association Championships held at the Virginia Institute of Technology. The Blue Jays faced 13 other schools in three weapons classes over nine strips of competition on the Feb. 29. However, the Blue Jays had much to celebrate about at the end of the day, as Hopkins boasted the top foil squad in the tournament and the top fencers in both the epee and foil divisions. Combined with all the other performances on the day for the team, this added up to a hard-fought second place finished for the Blue Jays, who finished three points behind first place Haverford.
