- HOCKEY: Unlikely line leads offense Inman, Chin, Globke form dynamic scoring trio (MATT ORENCHUK Sports Writer)
Oversimplified, hockey consists of two things: offense and defense. For the 2001-02 season the bulk of the Notre Dame offense has come from the line of senior David Inman, junior Mike Chin and sophomore Rob Globke.
- WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Irish look to follow up with victory (KATIE MCVOY Associate Sports Editor)
Basketball is a game of set-up and follow-through: setting up good shots and following through with the rebound. If they don't fall, setting up with a good starting line-up and following through with solid bench play, setting up good offense and following through with good defense.
- Cey makes mark in CCHA play (TED FOX Fox Sports ... Almost)
I watched the Notre Dame hockey team battle traditionally dominant Michigan to a 3-3 tie and a 2-1 loss over winter break. Everyone in the sea of maize and blue I was drowning in was impressed not only by the performance by the Irish against the now eighth-ranked team in the country but also by the play of a freshman net minder named Cey.

Viewpoint
- Bengal Bouts support worthwhile cause (Charles Rice Right or Wrong?)
Seventy-seven thousand dollars is a lot of money, maybe even more than next year's Notre Dame tuition. Yet that is the record amount the Bengal Bouts raised in 2001 for the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh. In accepting the donation, Fr. Jose Peixotto, a 39-year veteran of the Mission, remarked that the conversion rate from the Bangladesh taka to the American dollar is 55 to 1. Seventy-seven thousand dollars will go a long way in a poverty-stricken country where many families live on less than $200 a year.

"Give me a place to stand on and I will move the earth."
- Clearing up misconceptions on life (Brodie Butland freshman)
I realize that I am not the first to say this, but the issue of abortion is a very complicated one with no clear-cut answers. Perhaps that is why I feel it necessary to respond to two different views on abortion as recently expressed in The Observer.
- Color blind society fails to see differences (Joyce De Leon junior)
After reading Mike Marchand's column yesterday entitled, "Black and white issues," I feel that there are several issues that need to be clarified or reevaluated. Since race is nothing more than a social construct, as Marchand hopefully knows, the act of noticing differences such as color, shape, appearance, etc. is not the problem that our society faces.
- Starbucks complaint is trivial (Tim Bryden White Plains, NY)
The day of and the days following Sept. 11, 2001, were difficult for everyone, both for us as individuals and as a country. I'm now additionally saddened (and mildly disgusted) to see one truly insignificant incident related to this horriffic day dredged up and used for something as trivial as reason to oppose a Starbucks in LaFortune.

- Reviving the Rat Pack Two new albums remember the mystery and appeal of the Rat Pack (By C. SPENCER BEGGS Scene Editor)
The name of Rat Pack has intrigued audiences around the world for more than 50 years. Whether it was the macho image of men and dames, the camaraderie of the rich, beautiful and famous or mysterious alleged mafia connections, the Rat Pack is an American icon even 40 years after the group fell apart. Now, two albums pay tribute to these legends in their own times.
- Nine Inch Nails live album verges on perfection (By DAVE FULTON Scene Music Critic)
Live albums have, for quite some time now, provided artists with the opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities as performing artists in a raw, stripped down, non-studio environment. They attempt to capture some of the spontaneity, the energy and the atmosphere of a live performance. There are many good live albums, but only a few have been able to capture the total live experience in a way that deserves the label of masterpiece.
