Viewpoint
- Sorting out the real `divas' (Molly Strzelecki Growing Up to Be a Kid)
I watch a lot of VH1. In fact, if the cable company that Saint Mary's College uses carried VH1, I would absolutely positively never leave my room. I'm sorry Miss Jackson, but I would nevuh-evuh turn that station off. I am for real on that.
- Meeting a martyr (Brittany Morehouse It's All About Anthropology)
I met a martyr while in Africa this summer. He is the reason I still believe, for the culture shock I experienced traveling abroad was profoundly shattering. Seeing the extremes of human existence that the Kenyans know on a daily basis, I almost lost my faith. Precisely when I questioned how God figures in a world of such drastic dichotomies, I met Father John Kaiser. I believe he is a yet-to-be canonized saint. I tell this story with reverence for the man and his mission.
- Aiding missions in Chile (Stephen R. Sanchez senior)
It gives me great joy to write this letter and thank Brian O'Donoghue and Drew Gawrych, along with all in Student Government for their support of the Hogares San Jose and Santa Cruz in Chile. Their efforts to raise our awareness of this most worthy apostolate of the Congregation of Holy Cross is commendable.
- Building a tradition (Frank K. Reilly Bernard J. Hank)
When one thinks about this and how significant it is to all Notre Dame fans and to the history of Notre Dame athletics, I think it is fair to say that this long, hard climb to the top of the women's basketball world is similar to what Knute Rockne did for Notre Dame football 80 years ago. Rockne took a group of young men to a little-known Catholic school in Indiana from virtual obscurity to the top of college football world and helped the University gain an identity that transformed the University in the eyes of the observers around the country. In an era before professional football, college football was the only game in town and "The Fighting Irish" were at the top of the pile and as a result we gained thousands of "subway alumni" who followed our progress in athletics and academics.

Yet with its latest release, Golden Lies, the Puppets push beyond this process, overcoming a volatile fall from fame to churn out yet another testament to the band's resilience.
