Inside
- We're No. 1- Start acting like it (By MIKE CONNOLLY Editor in Chief)
With its 92-76 victory against UConn on Monday afternoon, the women's basketball team earned the right to call itself No. 1. When the new polls come out next week, Notre Dame's assent to the top of the women's basketball world will be official and the sign at the top of Grace Hall will once again announce that Notre Dame is No. 1.
Viewpoint
- High tuition reflects University's shift in emphasis (Charles Rice Right or Wrong?)
Every Christmas I get a personal, first-name invitation to join the Sorin Society. If I pay $1,000, benefits include "regional meetings" and the President's Newsletter. For $3,000 I could join the Founder's Circle and receive a video, an "ombudsman service" for tickets to non-athletic events and other comparable perks. I have not been able to join, but every year I feel a rush of self-esteem. This is recognition that I am a somebody, worthy to be a player in the University's inner circle.
- Quote of the Day (James T. Adams Historian)
"There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live."
- Congress should put its money where its mouth is (Letter to the Editor )
Every time politicians talk about national priorities, we hear about how education should be our country's number one concern. Our nation's economy needs a highly educated workforce, they tell us, if we are going to be able to compete in the new global economy. A college education, they warn us, is now a necessary ticket to a middle-class and decent paying job. And a strong democracy, they sometimes point out, depends on well-educated and informed citizens.
- Notre Dame spirit helps in cancer fight (Letters to the Editor )
I ask that when all of us make our first stop at the Grotto for the new year we include a prayer for Scott and his family.

- Ghnaim: new terms could end war u Author claims Palestinians want better peace plan, not fighting (By ANNE-MARIE MATTINGLY)
Attempts at Middle East peace have failed not because the Palestinians want war, but because they have not yet been offered acceptable peace terms, said Noah Salameh Ghnaim, director and founder of the Center for Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation in Palestine Tuesday.
