- Bengal Bouts 155-pounds - 160-pounds: Old bodies, new faces square off in Bouts (By: PAUL CAMARATA Sports Writer)
With a mix of seasoned boxers and rookies, the 155 and 160 pound divisions of this year's Bengal Bouts offer many intriguing matchups. While several veterans will bring both great technical skill and past experience to the ring starting in tonight's preliminary rounds, every fan who knows the Sweet Science knows that predicting the results of any given fight can be the most unscientific aspect of the sport.

- Warning: preserve print credits before it's too late (Helena Payne Assistant News Editor)
The day finally happened and I want to send a warning to Notre Dame students that they could soon suffer the same experience. Recently, I went to DeBartolo's computer lab to print a paper 15 minutes before class. Like many without a printer, I told myself the previous night, "I have plenty of time before class."
Viewpoint
- Why can't we all hear voices? (Joanna Mikulski Tuesday Voice on Friday)
I often feel overwhelmed by expectations and opinions. I remember one e-mail from the office of Dean Roche sent to all sophomores and juniors within the College of Arts and Letters this fall. It detailed a list of options that students should pursue "to achieve their academic and career goals." I read the letter, somewhat panicked and anxious. It offered useful advice. I think that I decided then to rebel, to avoid the academic-internship scene and to waitress at the Jersey shore this summer.
- Understanding a different life (Maite Uranga Life in Africa)
Last week I looked in a mirror larger than 3 inches by 3 inches for the first time in about four and a half months. It scared me. I did not recognize myself. I looked older. My hair is bleached out and in some indescribable way it simply looked like I had lived in Africa for awhile. This triggered multiple reactions, the major one being a realization that I now use very different characteristics to describe myself.
- Quote of the Day (Oscar Wilde writer)
"An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all."
- Agree to disagree (Jesse Daniel Schomer law student)
I am tragically male. Worry ye not because I do not intend to lament about reverse discrimination or any such nonsense. I am a white male, meaning that social amenities are more readily available to me than to any other segment of the general population. I am tragic because, as a male, a blueprint has been submitted to me, and I am expected to live in pursuance thereof. That means that I am expected to live a life filled with violence of all kinds. I am, you know, one of those whom, if necessary, will be called to defend this country of ours.
