- Irish doubles fall early at Rolex (By KEVIN BERCHOU Sports Writer)

Inside
- Nothing but talk (Dustin Ferrell )
Even the casual reader of The Observer can see that there hasn't been a whole lot of warm and fuzzy discourse in the paper lately. Most banter has been between the "you don't belong here" folks and the "Oh my goodness, like everyone here is so conservative!" crowd. Most of us fall somewhere in between these two camps, thank goodness. In fact, I even chose to make this column a bit more suitable to atheists and certain theology graduate students by using "goodness" in place of "God."
Viewpoint
- What happened to the value of family? (Laura Antkowiak )
One of the most hurtful things anyone has ever said to me came from someone I had considered one of my closest friends. She was frustrated by my inability to pay for many of the things she thought we should buy for our room. My family could have made some better choices so I could afford more things, she told me. It was my parents' fault for having so many children.
- SMC elections try the polis (Letter to the Editor )
It is my opinion and the opinion of at least 51 percent of Saint Mary's College voters that Koelsh/Rodarte is the winner of the recent election. Although Renner/Nagle is qualified — as all four tickets were qualified — they were not the resounding choice of the campus. Had they been, three separate elections would not have been required to elect next year's President and Vice President of Saint Mary's.
- What time is it? (Letter to the Editor )
Could somebody please set that big clock over there on O'Shag? I don't wear a watch, so I haven't been getting to class on time much lately. I'd do it myself, but I don't really know how.
- Ralph Nader for U.S. President (Letter to the Editor )
Ralph Nader for president! Named by Life magazine as one of the 100 most influential Americans of the Twentieth Century. Defender of the working class. Founder of Public Citizen — the nation's largest consumer advocacy organization. A constant critic of the World Trade Organization and corporate irresponsibility. Former presidential candidate for the Green party. He cannot be bought off by big-buck special interests and fat-cat campaign donors. There is no other person even remotely qualified to be President of the United States.
- Students should omit `sucks' cheer (Letter to the Editor )
Congratulations on a fantastic turn-around season in men's basketball. I have been attending games since I graduated in '75 and am very excited about Matt Doherty and all that is happening to make basketball great at Notre Dame.
- Please stop saying `retard' (Letter to the Editor )
When I was growing up my father used to take my family on these trips to Notre Dame. I used to call it his glory time since he was kind of reliving the past. I also got the impression that Notre Dame was this wonderful place where nothing goes wrong.

- Despite appeals, committee gives Renner/Nagel the win (By COLLEEN McCARTHY Associate News Editor)
The Saint Mary's Board of Governance Election Appeals board denied an appeal filed Monday by the presidential ticket of Emily Koelsch and Rachele Rodarte in response to the decision of the Election Committee Sunday night to nullify the results of Friday's election and award victory to the ticket of Crissie Renner and Michelle Nagle.
Scene
- He said (Scott Little )
Music is either good or bad. It doesn't really matter who's making it, male or female. It seems to me, though, that unless a girl pop star is a sex icon, guys could rarely give a crap. I don't know many guys who like the Indigo Girls or Ani DiFranco. And if they say they do, they are probably just saying that to make girls like them.
- She said (Ericka Ravettine )
Something a little interesting about yesterday's introductions: The "He" described what he wanted in a woman while the "She" gave a little background. You gender studies people out there might want to make a note. Oh, and Scott, not even movie stars and Russian supermodels look like that in real life, not all women are looking to simply snuggle, and we're a little too busy with reality to constantly worry how to make men happy.
