This year, Irish starting pitcher Danny Tamayo is a dominant right-hander with a 2-1 record, baffling opposing batters with a halting change-up and a fastball with pinpoint control.

Inside
- In the mood (Myra McGriff Saint Mary's Editor)
In the midnight hour when the wind stings lungs and makes eyes burn for the want of sun. When the reality sends you gray skies accompanied by snowy days and cold hallways, I am in the mood. Putting on another day of shirt, sweater, jacket, gloves to face brown Mondays, we say, "If only." Praying time will leap a month closer to the end, we prance like giddy kids waiting for school bell chimes marking recess time. But all the while I am in the mood.
Viewpoint
- WRC decision was a good one (Todd David Whitmore The Common Good)
Shortly before break, President Malloy approved the recommendation made by the Task Force for Anti-Sweatshop Initiatives that Notre Dame join the Workers Rights Consortium (WRC), an association of students, activists and universities organized to aid the workers who make collegiate licensed products. As a member of the task force, I voted in favor of joining the WRC.
- Defense of Student Diversity Board (The Student Diversity Board Saint Mary's College)
We are writing in response to the March 7 article about the Student Diversity Board at Saint Mary's College. We feel that the article was not an example of objective journalism and presented a scaled view of our board. For the sake of balanced reporting, we are writing to share what was not covered in the article. We are not trying to defend or justify our accomplishments; we merely want the community to know both sides of the story.
- Sanctions hurt innocents (Darren Kernaghan sophomore)
Although I am pleased that The Observer printed an article addressing the 10 years of United Nations sanctions against Iraq, I felt the article failed to properly illuminate the extent of destruction which the sanctions have had on the Iraqi people. In addition to the 1 million chronically malnourished children of Iraq, the embargo is also responsible for the deaths of about 500,000 infants and toddlers between the years 1991-1998, according to a 1999 U.N. report. That number has undoubtably grown since 1999 and does not include the deaths of civilians over the age of five. In total, since its beginning in 1990, the embargo has been responsible for 1 to 1.5 million deaths.

- Quote of the Day (John Wayne actor)
"There's right and there's wrong. You get to do one or the other. You do the one, and you're living. You do the other, and you may be walking around, but you're dead as a beaver hat."

- University design agency changes name (By ANDREW THAGARD News Writer)
Notre Dame's in-house design agency, which redesigned the Food Service's `Grab `n' Go' bag and creates the University's view book for perspective students, recently revamped it's own image. The agency, formerly known as Publications and Graphic Services, is now called University Communications Design.

- The 73rd annual Academy Awards won't honor the best, but at least it'll be fun Scene's movie critics offer predictions and commentary on Hollywood's biggest night (By MATT CACCAMO and MATT NANIA Scene Movie Critics)
Every year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences bestows upon a lucky few its Oscar statuettes. And every year moviegoers around the world watch in disbelief as films like "The English Patient" beat out more worthy films like "Fargo." The Academy voted admirably last season in choosing "American Beauty" the Best Picture; but without serious competition, there was no other choice. This year, the group's 6,000 members have the rare opportunity to do some good. Several remarkable films, performances and craftsmen are up for consideration and it would be more than disappointing to see such talents completely ignored. Unfortunately, the buzz around Hollywood (via the Internet) indicates that the Academy is headed for another meltdown. Here, then, is an analysis of each major category, complete with probable winners and losers.
