- Heavyweights bring heavy hitting to semifinals (By BILL HART Sports Writer)
If Sunday's quarterfinals are any indication, tonight's Bengal Bout semifinals should provide plenty of hard-hitting action. But unlike the lighter weight classes, upsets have yet to appear on the radar screen. If anything, this should lead to some of the most exciting bouts of the tournament.

I had a lot of homework this weekend, and I took advantage of every opportunity presented to me to complain about it.
Viewpoint
- Diversity thwarts GOP's `Big Tent' (Gary Caruso Capitol Comments)
It must be a leap year! Following this column's last publication, an article contending institutionalized bigotry within the Republican Party, I received an avalanche of e-mails that rivaled the recent great Internet hacking attacks on Amazon and eBay. Positions ran about half and half, but they did tilt slightly in disagreement with my opinions. They were typical of the Notre Dame community of the 1990s.
- I admit it: I'm a morning person (Kate Rowland Read This.)
They are your siblings, parents, and cousins. They are your friends and your neighbors. They are your professors, your classmates, and, if you're unlucky, your roommates. They are a startling minority on ca.m.pus. You may even be afraid of them and their "different" lifestyle.
- Hey everybody, Re-lax! (Ted Higgins Junior, St. Edwards Hall)
Hurray for Election 2000! Hurray for the top two tickets and the judicial council for orchestrating such a remarkable comedic display about the fallacies inherent in seemingly simple election process! All of your tomfoolery has truly made us laugh! And hurray for ME!!! I was fortunate enough to have been a candidate in this calamity – and to all of the 109 people who voted for "Stu" Pardon and me, we thank you. And to all of our friends who didn't vote for us, it's OK. I highly doubt that your support would have constituted the additional 48 percent we needed to capture the majority of the vote and become, outright, the two most overrated students on campus.
- Big families should not be mocked (Sheryl Miller Canton, Mass.)
I think it's time someone steps up to bat (hello, University leaders and administrators) and defines "Catholic." I read the Feb. 8 guest column [Laura Antkowiak], a Notre Dame student who was ridiculed by her class mates because she came from a very large family. This young woman was made to feel shame because she was raised in a family that still practiced the dictates of the Catholic Church. Because her family did not cave in to the ways of contemporary society and limit their family to one or two children by means of birth control, she was bullied for not having as much money. Her mother and father were mocked for their lifestyle.
