- Statistics vs. Reality BY: Sean Vinck
Study Notre Dame on a purely statistical level, and it appears to be an institution on the rise. The endowment is reaching levels never before seen. Enrollment remains steady. The University is holding the rate of increase in tuition to under five percent annually (seemingly a dubious boast, but in light of the massive inflation in college costs, certainly a reasonable number). Faculty salaries remain comparatively high, making Notre Dame a competitive place of employment in the world of academia. The aggregate scores and academic ratings of the incoming freshman class are high, with each year's class breaking the previous year's record.

- The Boss Rocks Garden State By Jennifer Zatorski
There was only one thing that I really wanted to do this summer — see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in concert. The reunion tour that began in Barcelona in April was scheduled to arrive in New Jersey in June. As a Jersey resident and a Bruce fan, I had dreamed about seeing the Boss in concert for years. The closest that I had ever come was seeing him join the Wallflowers onstage for an encore at a local club. Tickets for the 15 New Jersey shows sold out in a matter of hours, making Springsteen the top-selling artist in the history of the Meadowlands Sport Complex. I was lucky enough to get tickets to two of these sold-out New Jersey shows — July 26 and August 2.

- Sean Kelly keeps The Samples' flame alive Emmett Malloy
It's amazing to witness the enduring spirit of Sean Kelly. As the frontman for the Colorado-based band, The Samples, Kelly has experienced everything that is right and wrong with the music industry. After being signed to Arista Records in the late '80s, the band was dropped from the label over a feud about how the band should "change" its music to sound more commercial.
