- Belles get psyched for spring season (Katie McVoy Inside Saint Mary's Sports)
It's true it might be difficult to find a tennis court under the snow that fell on Monday. It's true that it's so cold outside a softball might freeze to your palm if you tried to throw it. It's true that the ice outside makes it detrimental to move at more than a snail's pace. But — believe it or not — it's spring sports season.

Inside
- Art appreciation (Liz Lang Photo Editor)
I'm done. Today I finished my senior thesis. The prints have been made; the frames have been ordered; the artist statement has been written and rewritten and revised. For the past four years in college I have worked toward today. I should feel this huge sense of accomplishment, as if some weight has been lifted — this was what I was expecting to feel anyhow after eight months of work on one project.
Viewpoint
- WRC decision a difficult one (Todd David Whitmore The Common Good)
Should Notre Dame join the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC)? Both the arguments for and against doing so make compelling points. There are two rubrics, however, that I have not found very helpful. Let me say why. The first is that of "leading versus following." One charge made is that while Notre Dame once was a leader, it now (because it has yet to join the WRC) is a follower. Joining the WRC, the argument goes, would re-assert Notre Dame's leadership.
- Quote of the Day (Stephen Jobs founder of Apple Computer)
"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."
- Celebrate the goddess within you (Molly Strzelecki Growing Up To Be a Kid)
In just a matter of days, Spring Break will be upon us, Thank God. Because really, don't we all need a break? Even though it is the last spring break of my college career, I am completely OK with the fact that I am only going home to spend it with my parents instead of heading off to some warm tropical destination that ends in a vowel. I am glad for this for one reason: I am definitely not ready to see myself in a bathing suit. And God help anyone else who saw me.

This letter is in response to the letter entitled "Motivation for sixth man" from the March 5 issue of The Observer.
- Defending Ex corde (Letter to the Editor )
I am puzzled by the controversy surrounding the article on Ex corde Ecclesiae from the March 2, issue of The Observer. I am currently spearheading an effort to start a Catholic university in the Atlanta Metropolitan area; numerous Notre Dame graduates are involved as well. As part of our business plan development, we interviewed hundreds of academics (including theologians) and business leaders. We see Ex corde as a beautiful roadmap for establishing an authentically Catholic environment. Most people agree. In fact, most academics agree, with one primary exception: The required mandate from the local bishop for instructors teaching Catholic theology. Why is this an issue? Some erroneously claim that academic freedom will be undermined (it won't). Others resort to heated rhetoric and name-calling (not very charitable). Some have even refused to seek the mandate (in order to garner headlines).

Scene
- DMB releases first studio album in three years -- Electric guitars and a new pop-oriented attitude leave many fans weary of Dave's latest (By GEOFFREY RAHIE Scene Music Critic)
The Dave Matthews Band has always been known as an unusual musical ensemble lead by the unusual acoustic guitar strumming of leader Dave Matthews. Early critics jumped all over the band's freewheeling jam style and complained about the group's tendency to be long-winded. Everyday, DMB's first studio release in almost three years, throws all of these past reservations outside the window.
- DMB releases first studio album in three years -- Everyday not for everybody (Laura Rompf Scene Music Critic)
Last Thursday night, six Notre Dame students piled into my Jeep and we began our trip to a restaurant about 15 minutes away. I pulled out a mix tape to add some lively music to our journey, and within minutes, I was happily singing to Ja Rule's latest single, "Put It On Me."
- Over-production ruins new MGB release (By SAM DERHEIMER Assistant Scene Editor)
The album starts off with a rumble... "K-i-c-k-a-s-s! That's the way we spell success!" Had the Matthew Good Band only stuck to this theme, Beautiful Midnight, the band's latest studio album and first U.S. release, might have been much better.
