- SMC BASKETBALL: Belles take on top-ranked Flying Dutch (By JOE LINDSLEY Sports Writer)
Wednesday night could be a lopsided battle for the Belles of Saint Mary's as they try to swat down the Flying Dutch of Hope, who are soaring high on the wings of a 20-1 season.
- Jim Kelly – more than just a superstar (Kevin Berchou Sports Columnist)
Saturday was a great day for a great man. Sure I'm an unabashed homer, a lifelong fan of the Buffalo Bills, but when Jim Kelly, their quarterback and unquestioned leader, was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, any football fan couldn't help but feel for the guy.
- Notre Dame can learn from New England (Joe Licandro Sports Writer)
If you had told me before the beginning of the NFL season that the New England Patriots would win the Super Bowl, I would have thought you were crazy. If you had told me that the Patriots would win the Super Bowl with Tom Brady as their quarterback, I would have politely asked, "What are you smoking?"

Inside
- Thursday is family night (V. Van Buren Giles News Copy Editor)
People love to criticize South Bend as this po-dunk little town in the middle of nowhere where nothing exciting ever goes on. I am from New York City and I have done the bar and club scene there, but I have to admit, I have a great time every Thursday at Heartland. College night is a joyous, weekly event I don't think I could have experienced if I did not decide to attend to this glorious University.

- Desperate times call for desperate measures (Joe Larson The Principles of Idiocracy)
Last year, at this same time, I wrote a column explaining a theory about a way to get through the doldrums with the least depression possible. The idea was to drink a lot and get yourself a significant other to drink with. That way, just when you are about to embarrass yourself, your special buddy steps in and curbs your attention towards them. This is a beautiful theory and I think pretty much successful on all grounds if you actually pull it off properly.
- Service means feeling at home anywhere (Miguel Vieyra For a More Just and Humane World)
A phone call, and my father was on his way — carrying me home half asleep in his arms simply because I was homesick after just a few hours. As a child, I never could spend the whole night at a friend's house. I needed to sleep in my own bed, in my own room, to wake up to the same view from my own window: swaying maple trees and my mother's garden.
- Punish parents for son's treachery (Ed Fitzpatrick class of '80)
Scott Flipse's column Monday on John Walker was liberal garbage. Not surprisingly, it is unsupported by any authority. In fact, not only should John Walker be executed, his father Frank Lindh should be tried for treason and executed.
