- Cruising in Spree-ville (Laura Rompf Assistant News Editor)
In the small town where I was raised, the sign of popularity in middle school was ownership of a Spree Ñ a small scooter which resembles a motorcycle but can only reach speeds of 30 to 35 miles per hour. Besides a big trampoline, from the time I hit sixth grade, there was nothing I begged for more.

- Stranger in a strange land (Joanna Mikulski Innsbruck Stimme)
As I sit here at my computer, I once again enjoy the excitement and anticipation that I experienced at the beginning of my freshman year. Beside me lay two suitcases. Clothes, shoes and a year's supply of socks spill out of them, covering most of my bedroom floor. I have tucked my passport, Traveler's Cheques and "Lets Go" travel book neatly into my carry-on bag. Earlier tonight, my extended family gathered at my house for a late summer barbecue to say farewell and good luck to me. My aunt and grandfather told me that they had already planned a trip to visit me at school. Tomorrow I board a plane at JFK International Airport bound for Austria.
- Letter to the Editor Setting the record on sweatshops straight (Richard W. Conklin Associate Vice President)
A quote from Aaron Kreider of the Progressive Student Alliance in the Saturday, Aug. 19, edition of the Observer implied that his organization put the sweatshop issue "on the (campus) agenda." The facts are that the University's Licensing and Marketing Committee and, subsequently, the Trustees' Social Values and Responsibilities Committee discussed the logo and sweatshop issue months before it was raised by any campus group and months before it was a national news story. That is why Notre Dame was the first American college or university with a code of conduct for its licensees — a code of conduct that preceded any campus discussion of sweatshop issues.
- Letter to the Editor Curb dangerous driving (Jim Hogan Graduate Student)
With the resumption of classes, we again see an increase in morning traffic on Bulla Road. If you have ever driven along Bulla Road at 8 a.m. in the morning, you know what I am talking about. Please resist the temptation to gun it the last half mile to the campus after you escape the gravel mess on Bulla Road.
