- Irish still hungry despite biggest win in program history (By TED FOX Sports Writer)
I think many of us had two things in common besides registering for classes last Monday: we went to the women's basketball game against Connecticut, and we expected the No. 1 Huskies to run their winning streak to 31 games.
- Calm, nitty-gritty work wins games (By KATHLEEN O'BRIEN Associate Sports Editor)
It's a good thing All-American power forward Troy Murphy used to travel into the heart of Newark, N.J., to play in the St. Rocco's Church League. He needed the lessons learned on the streets — getting elbowed without retaliating, ignoring opponents' trash talk and playing through uncalled fouls — to keep his cool in Sunday's free-for-all against West Virginia.

- Senior words of wisdom (Jose Cuellar Graphics Editor)
Many say that I should be sad and scared. A couple of years ago I would agree with them. Now I would tell them that I'm glad and that I'm ready to go.
Viewpoint
- Foriegn dependence on U.S. fortified by military (Aaron Kreider Think, Question, Resist)
There are many reasons why students should question the presence of the large ROTC program on our campus. ROTC explicitly discriminates against gays and lesbians. It trains students to violate Catholic Just War Theory. Its values conflict with those of academia. But instead I will focus on the military's purpose and practices.

"A military operation involves deception. Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective,
- Football league of their own (Josh Kirley Swift's Confederate)
Excessive Celebration. Dropping the football three yards short of the goal line. Un-sportsmanlike penalties. The Oregon State game, the BCS and all the Bowl games demonstrated an ever-increasing dichotomy in college football. That is, there are student-athletes and there are college football players. The difference in these players proved painfully evident in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Eve. Dennis Ericson, with his speed before literacy recruiting campaign, soundly defeated a coach who must be accountable to the Admissions Office in signing a player. For better or for worse, scouring the ghettoes and academic probation lists of junior colleges for talent is an effective way to build a college football team. At Miami and now with Oregon State, Ericson has mastered this technique. Many of these players have no more concern for their education than they do for the depleting ozone layer. If this sounds like a long-winded cry of "It's not fair," that's exactly what it is.
- Community responds to letter condemning athlete service brings comments (Athletes insulted by letter's implications )
I would like to respond to the letter printed Jan. 19 by Tim Crouch regarding the "hypocrisy" that is Notre Dame. More importantly, I would like to voice my discontent with his grossly unjustifiable opinion that Notre Dame student athletes are poor role models for children.
- Community responds to letter condemning athlete service brings comments (Students and athletes have phenomenal dedication to service)
I am outraged at the letter in Friday's Observer, criticizing Notre Dame student athletes for helping host a Christmas party for kids with cancer. Shame on this writer. I have been involved in many make-a-wish events at Notre Dame. Young cancer victims, in particular, enjoy visiting Notre Dame, the football stadium and the Joyce Center and meeting with Notre Dame student athletes. Hats off to Jennifer Crittendon, Eric Guerra and all the kind and caring Notre Dame student athletes who give so freely of their time through Notre Dame's Life Skills Program. I have spoken to nursing home residents, hospital staff members and parents, whose lives have been touched because one of our student athletes has visited.
