- Start the clock (Matt Lozar Sports Editor)
What can you do in less than six minutes? Shower? Walk to class? How about beating Super Mario Bros. for your NES? Impossible you say? Just stop by Keough Hall's Section 2B and tell Chuck, Bill and myself that. It is here that 5 minutes and 25 seconds stands as the current Mario record.
Viewpoint
- Abstain from voting in SMC election (The Observer Editorial)
Saint Mary's students have once again been given only one choice for student body elections. Elizabeth Jablonski-Diehl, current student body vice president, and Sarah Brown, current sophomore class president, are the only candidates willing to run for president and vice president, respectively. This means that for the third year in a row Saint Mary's students cannot participate in a real election. Seniors have only had a choice of candidates once, during their freshman year, and no other class has even had this choice. This is a disturbing trend in student government politics that needs to stop.
- A family tradition of storytelling (Maite Uranga Life in Africa)
Some of the first memories I have are of camping with my family. We had a sheepherder's tent exactly like the one that my grandfather used when he tended his sheep every summer. It was huge. The canvas walls and ceiling protected us from every possible element that Idaho's mountains threw at us. My younger brother and I thought it was heaven. It had a wood stove that we used to heat the tent and also to cook pancakes. There was a place for our sleeping bags and there was a place for our table and chairs.
- Losing the race: the politics of civil rights (Mike Marchand Undistinguished Alumnus)
It seems like every year about this time there's some sort of race-related scandal to perfectly coincide with the holiday devoted to America's greatest civil rights leader, Martin Luther King. Last year I wrote about a planned World Trade Center Memorial that would have placed racial sensitivity above the FDNY firefighters who raised the American flag over Ground Zero, and also how Notre Dame would have been perceived as racist if they didn't hire Tyrone Willingham. (By the way, Athletic Department: good call.)
- Seeking a Catholic response to the call for war (Peter Joseph Quaranto freshman)
These are times that try Catholics' souls. If the United States government declares war against Iraq, American Catholics will be faced with perhaps the greatest moral dilemma of our generation. On the one hand, the government of the country that has given us freedom will be asking for our loyalty; on the other hand, the Church that promises us salvation will be asking for our resistance. Quite frankly, it boils down to a classic battle of church versus state.

- Senator discusses multilateralism (By TERESA FRALISH Assistant News Editor)
In the post-Cold War and post-Sept. 11 world, U.S. foreign policy must demonstrate careful judgment and a willingness to seek multilateral solutions through organizations such as the United Nations, said Senator Chuck Hagel. Hagel, Neb.-R, a two-term Republican senator and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, spoke at Notre Dame on Friday about the topic "U.S. Foreign Policy: Meeting the Challenges of Change."
