- Going beyond that restraining line (By TED FOX Fox Sports ... Almost)

Inside
- Breaking barriers (Helena Payne News Editor)
Halle Berry won the Oscar for Best Actress, Denzel Washington won Best Actor and Sidney Poitier received a lifetime achievement award. Then, of course, all is well with race relations in the film industry – or so some would like to think. Monday's Washington Post boasted about the "golden night for black actors," and many people are talking about the Oscar year that made history by breaking down the race barrier. However, the way some quickly have jumped on the "black actor wave," is actually a perpetuation of that barrier.
Viewpoint
- Alcohol is sole motivator (Mary Ann Hennessey class of '90)
The Vietnam War, apartheid, the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Rights Movement, respecting diversity, the Kent State student shootings, election fraud, the Aids epidemic, the Church's crackdown on academic freedom, the Gulf War, gay and lesbian rights, health care debacle and alcohol policy.
- Mauritanian grandmother offers example of a well-lived life (Maite Uranga Life in Africa)
My relationship with my Mauritanian grandmother is interesting. My American life and her Mauritanian life have almost no similarities. She speaks no French or English and I am just now starting to speak Pulaar. Despite this, our relationship over the last six months has developed through non-verbal communication.
- Students' role in University policy examined In need of a true voice in campus affairs (Bill Rinner sophomore)
There's something rotten on the campus of Notre Dame. Festering beneath the surface of the University's ideal exterior is a force more frightening than anyone realizes. For years, Notre Dame has given us fleeting gifts of bread and circuses while denying us what is far from our grasp: a voice.
- Students' role in University policy examined If you don't like it, you're free to leave (Patrick Grady class of '88)
Try jumping up and down in the rotunda of the Main Building. That seemed to get the administration's attention in 1984. But it didn't change anything. The alcohol policy was implemented anyway.
- Notre Dame students got what they deserve (John Litle Frankly Obnoxious)
Notre Dame students don't deserve alcohol in their dorms or alcohol period for that matter. Let's look at this how it ought to be seen. About six years ago, with the administration's blessing, bars around town started getting busted. Notre Dame students did nothing, just moved on to the next bar. This was understandable at the time. Later, the administration banned the football ticket distribution campout. Notre Dame students did nothing. They just rolled over like the sheep they are and accepted the plate they were given. The next year, the Graffiti Dance was cancelled. Notre Dame students had nothing to say because it didn't affect them, only upcoming freshmen. And last year, out of the blue, a tailgating task force of power-tripping rent-a-cops started busting everyone they could see at tailgates under a new ResLife edict. You, Notre Dame students, whined in the Viewpoint.

- Quadruplets call SMC home (By THERESA FRALISH News Writer)
Most people enter college expecting to leave their family and close friends behind. They generally make new friendships and are often hundreds of miles apart from loved ones. But for the Taylor sisters, junior Lynn, and freshmen Katie, Julie and Laura, a face to face conversation is only a short stroll away. Katie, Julie, Laura and David, who attends Purdue, are quadruplets, and Lynn is their older sister.
- Eldred recovers from throat surgery (By EMILY FORD News Writer)
It may have been quieter than usual in the Office of the President at Saint Mary's the past two weeks. President Marilou Eldred recently underwent throat surgery that rendered her unable to speak above a low rasp.

- BOG agrees to sponsor two events (By SARAH RYKOWSKI News Writer)

Scene
- Multi-dimensional Gorillaz experiment on G-Sides (By TOM O'CONNELL Scene Music Critic)
Gorillaz is a band that exists on two planes of reality. The first is that of the characters who make up the band: lead singer 2-D, drummer and rapper Russel, bassist and mastermind Murdoc and child guitar prodigy Noodle. Their self-titled debut album has sold millions of copies worldwide since this summer. They are currently in the middle of their first world tour, have appeared at numerous press conferences and have experienced the same successes and problems that a normal band would.
- Eels squirm with optimism on new album (By JOE LARSON Scene Music Critic)
On the back of the Eels' new album, Souljacker, appears an essay entitled "Do You Like Rock Music?" by DJ Killingspree. In this essay, DJ Killingspree welcomes the listener to the fourth studio album from the Eels, calling it "the hardest rocking substance known to man." Although this boast may be a bit hyperbolic, the album does lend itself to some pretty hard rockin' moments.
- Uncle Tupelo recollects influential career (By BRIAN KORNMANN Scene Music Critic)
Perhaps no band in the past 10 years has had as much influence on their genre of music as Uncle Tupelo. The St. Louis threesome innovated the popular alt-country sound, which many other bands now emulate. One cannot listen to the Old 97's, Jayhawks or Whiskeytown without thinking of the revolution in sound Uncle Tupelo started in 1989.
- Kweller's youth creates crafty melodies (By JULIE BENDER Scene Music Critic)
Just when you thought music with a melody could only be contrived by paid pop songwriters and spit out through prepped and primed teens with slick dance moves, there comes a savior. He has arrived out of Greenville, Texas, and brings with him an album full of humorously modern lyrics and masterful melodies that linger on your tongue for days. His name: Ben Kweller. On his second solo record, Sha Sha (released on Dave Matthews label), Kweller displays his slightly punk–flavored charm on both the guitar and piano. If you can imagine a combined effort of Ben Folds Five, Dashboard Confessional and a modern-day Buddy Holly, the result would be Sha Sha.
