- Notre Dame shuts the door on Syracuse for a 74-60 win (By KERRY SMITH Sports Editor)
The long arms of the Orangemen defense could not stretch far enough to eke out a win Tuesday in Notre Dame's 74-60 upset over No. 11 Syracuse.
- Irish return to normal scene with trip to West Virginia (By TIM CASEY Assistant Sports Editor)
Since the now-legendary Connecticut victory, the Irish saw the illuminated No. 1 arise on top of Grace Hall, answered the proverbial "How does it feel to be the top team in the nation?" roughly 7,312 times and stole the campus spotlight away from some guys named Murphy, Humphrey and Brey.

Inside
- Can you say penis? (Nate Phillips Copy Editor)
I have not seen or read "The Vagina Monologues", and consequently, my article is not focused on the play itself. I am not concerned with whether or not it remains on Saint Mary's campus; frankly, I am not capable of making an educated judgement.

- Justifying Revue's location (Letter to the Editor )
Each year the approach of Keenan Revue is signaled by an escalation in the unending debate amongst the Saint Mary's student body as to whether or not our show should be performed on their campus. And just as this year marks the Revue's 25th anniversary it is also the 21st year that we have performed at O'Laughlin Auditorium. This year, however, has seen an apparent increase in student objection to having the Revue on the SMC campus.
- CSC strives to build community (Jessica McManus For a More Just and Humane World)
Consider this example. Imagine walking into your classroom today and seeing half of the students missing, not to return. Imagine returning to your residence hall or apartment building this evening to visit with friends and realizing that your neighbors have moved away without the opportunity to say goodbye. Imagine returning home for break to find neighbors, friends and family members gone. I share this example in hopes that we might begin to understand what it means to lose a community. The example seems nonsensical in this setting. Though marked with diversity of experience, it is almost certain that the majority of students and faculty feel a sense of "place" on our campuses.
- Decree inhibits student growth, expression (Letter to the Editor )
As most students already know, Saint Mary's College has canceled a play called "The Vagina Monologues." This is somewhat ironic, considering that Notre Dame and SMC administrators seem to speak only in monologues.
