As if the finalists in the 70th Annual Bengal Bouts needed any added motivation, they received an extra jolt of adrenaline Friday night upon learning they would be going for a title in the presence of the greatest fighter of all time. With Muhammed Ali in attendance, the boxers lived up to their end of the bargain, providing several hard hitting contests in search of a championship.

Fans got their money's worth in one of the most anticipated fights at the Joyce Center on Friday evening, when Sean "The Erie Kid" Nowak faced off against Don "The Destroyer" Penn for the 165 lb. division title.

Viewpoint
- Don't blame guns or water bottles (Mike Marchand Questionable Freedoms)
Last Wednesday, a Notre Dame student chucked an empty water bottle onto the court in the closing seconds of the men's basketball game against Syracuse, which prompted the referees to whistle a technical foul on the Irish and potentially cost them the match and a berth in the NCAA tournament.
- We all have crossed the line (Bridget O'Connor Kickin' new flavor in your ear)
It seems we are all agreed that the "waterboy" crossed the line. That line is one we all walk every day and sometimes cross ourselves. He just did it in a very public and juvenile way. There is no excuse for what he did.
- Don't discriminate in church (Letter to the Editor )
There are very few times in my life when I have felt so out of place as I did Saturday at the 5 p.m. mass at the Basilica. I felt more ostracized than when I went to mass in the crypt church covered in paint from Christmas in April last year. This time I was not covered in paint, but when I walked into the Basilica there were several people in tuxedos and fur coats. This was the weekend to recognize scholarship and fellowship donors.
- Reaction to `Waterboy' is shameful (Letter to the Editor )
Never before have we been so appalled by wanton stupidity as by that which the students have recently displayed. We are personally ashamed of the recent behavior exhibited by the students of this wonderful university. Not because they are the most tenacious smack-talkers this side of New York. Not because they create cartoons that are funny while being absolutely, positively NOT racist in any way, shape or form. Not even because they change the possible outcomes of games by hurling refuse on to the field of play.

- SMC lecture series focus on martyrs (By KATIE MCVOY Byline Title)
Last night began a series of Lenten lectures at Saint Mary's on the martyrs of El Salvador. Marie Dennis, director of the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns, will be giving the lectures in Stapleton Lounge Monday and Tuesday nights as well.

After submitting a portfolio of work from the past year, Rob Finch, Notre Dame class of 1998, was selected by a panel of six judges as 1999's best photographer, winning the National Press Photographer of the Year award.
- Nobel laureate discusses experiences in Northern Ireland (By TOM ENRIGHT News Writer)
Children need a greater voice in world affairs, according to Nobel laureate Betty Williams, who spoke at Notre Dame on Friday.
- Debate team competes on national level (By STACEY KAPLAN News Writer)
The debate team will cap off their season this weekend at the National Parliamentary Debate Association's (NPDA) National Tournament at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. Currently ranked 15th in the nation, the team is a mere three points away from the top five, and is hoping to perform well enough at nationals to secure a spot in the top 20.
Scene
- Farley boasts history of cherry bombs and smokers (Katie Sanders Farley Hall Resident)
Nine out of 10 Notre Dame students associate the word "smokers" with Farley Hall, located on North Quad, next to the North Dining Hall.
- Carroll is hotbed of politics, service and unity (Casey Grabenstein Carroll Hall Resident)
This time of year is particularly difficult for the residents of Carroll Hall. The early morning walk across the frozen tundra, otherwise known as South Quad, can be dreadful. While most dorms' entrances open up directly onto campus, the Vermins' walk to O'Shag or Debartolo can take up to 15 minutes. That student in your 8:30 a.m. class who always walks in five minutes late with frostbite on his face is probably from Carroll. And the long walk from Carroll to the South Dining Hall has led to a close relationship between Carroll residents and the Pizza Man.
- Acknowledging good-byes: a tip to graduating seniors (University Counseling Center health column)
Graduation is near! This is usually the time of year that members of the Senior Class start to experience this reality very differently. In the areas of friendships, dating relationships and post graduation plans, there will be new pressures as this timeline marches forward. For some individuals, they cannot begin to think about the fact that graduation is a mere two months away without resenting anyone who brings it up. For those who already know their career plans and have secured positions in the work world, volunteer service and/or graduate and professional school, there is a great deal to look forward to. Some look ahead eagerly, waiting to move on, and others may be apprehensive about the transition from college to the next level. For those who do not know what they are doing, do not have a specific job offer in hand or dread leaving Notre Dame, it is a difficult time. New friendships and romantic relationships may have developed this year or relationships changed after studying abroad or meeting new people on- and off-campus. The fact that most seniors will not be returning to Notre Dame in the fall may put pressure on those involved to label, define, figure out or project into the future about what these connections mean in ways that the end of previous years did not demand.
