MTV show stars speak

Puck and Julie -- two names that live on in the memories of MTV. In this case those memories are in the form of weekend rerun marathons where people can relive the antics of a crazy bike messenger as well as the first of a few booted roommates and a young girl coming to terms with her religion. Now students can get a live look at the two castmates as they come to campus tonight to speak to students about their experiences and what's going on in their lives now. The lecture will give students a chance to ask questions to the two cast members and find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real.

Pope speaks out against sexual abuse: a sin and a crime

VATICAN CITY -- Pope John Paul II told American church leaders Tuesday that there was no place in the priesthood "for those who would harm the young," saying sex abuse by priests in the United States was both a sin and a crime. The cardinal of Los Angeles said the pontiff had taken a strong step in favor of "zero-tolerance" for abusive priests. But he and other Americans at the meeting said there was no discussion of the possible resignation of Boston's Cardinal Bernard Law, accused of mishandling sex abuse cases.
