- Becker lives his coaching dream with Irish (By TIM CASEY Sports Writer)
Ryan Becker stood on the Joyce Center court, talking with some coaches and players during water break at a recent practice. The women's basketball team had just finished another set of drills on a chilly afternoon in mid-February and needed a rest. Becker, a sophomore and unpaid student assistant, moved toward head coach Muffet McGraw to ask her a question. Then, out of the corner of his eye, Becker noticed a familiar face.
- Seniors prepare for last game (By KATHLEEN O'BRIEN Assistant Sports Editor)

In 155-pound action, Paul "He-Man" Mehan lent some validity to his nickname with a convincing victory over Robert "The Skinny Ginnea" Vuolo. Though Vuolo's reach was longer, Mehad was able to land punishing shot after punishing shot.
- Searching for answers to mysterious sports questions (Ted Fox Fox Sports ... Almost)
If you watch sports long enough, some things will start to jump out at you. They might seem weird or crazy or just not make a whole lot of sense. You can postulate your own theories but must usually accept that a definitive answer will be hard to come by.
Inside
- Catholic isn't all that counts (Amanda Greco assistant Scene editor)
In choosing to attend Saint Mary's, I was fully aware of its Catholic affiliation. However, as schools that explicitly pride themselves on the diversity of the student bodies, I anticipated that Saint Mary's and the Notre Dame communities would be open to other faiths and cultures as well. Though both schools receive much of their backing from Catholic organizations, one would hope that such "liberal" schools would not try to impose their beliefs on any attendee. To me, this does not seem to be the case.
Viewpoint
- Make the decision to be colorblind (Jennifer Guintu What's Your Shade?)
"He's got a nice booty, a six pack, blond hair, blue-eyes. Oh! And he's tan from surfing." That is the ideal boy among the girls with whom I have grown up.
- Be wary of horrible hospital care (Jason McFarley The Bottom Line)
Call me somewhat biased in opinion, but my 73-year-old grandmother, Marguerite McFarley, seems to me a thoroughly fair individual. In the same breath (or half-hour-long story), she can recite for you all that's right with the world and, on occasion, some of what's wrong with it.
- Nancy Fallon's life was a gift (Letter to the Editor )
I first met Nancy Fallon in 1989 when she came to talk to me about free-lance writing for Courier. I knew instantly that she was someone I wanted to work with — someone I couldn't wait to work with. She was a quiet, even unassuming woman when you first met her, but in the course of our first meeting I could tell she possessed tremendous intelligence and insight. I couldn't believe how fortunate we were that Nancy had come through our doors.
- Screening for morals is foolhardy (Letter to the Editor )
This is in response to Ms. Sheryl Miller's letter of Feb. 29, "Big families should not be mocked." I am sure I am not alone in taking mild offense at this article.

Scene
- Some changes I'd like to make (Scott Little just a little)
Every place has some good and some bad. It comes with the territory. If you have nice grass, you probably have nice weeds. If you enjoy cheesecake, you probably have fat thighs. Just like Bret Michaels told us, "Every Rose has its Thorns"; Notre Dame has some thorns too. But I think we can trim them off and spend more time smelling nice.
- Let's sweep sweeps into the garbage (Mike Vanegas Scene Editor)
For the past four weeks, television watchers have been blessed by pure, never-before-seen, quality (sometimes) television. Things happened on our favorite shows that don't typically happen. It was a special four weeks, in TV land.
- BP: Everybdy knows your name (By: Jacqueline Browder Assitant Scene Editor)
You can see it from the towers of Grace and Flanner. You can see it from the library and from Stonehenge. You can see it from the doors of LaFortune. You can even catch a glimpse of it from the North Dining Hall. Are we talking about the Golden Dome? No, we're talking about Breen-Phillips Hall, a small dorm with a big presence on Notre Dame's campus.
