EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
- Walton turns in MVP performance (By CHRIS FEDERICO Sports Editor)
It isn't often that a player grabs three interceptions in a football game and fails to earn MVP honors for his performance. But that's what happened to Irish cornerback Shane Walton Saturday night in the Kickoff Classic against Maryland.

Inside
- It's time for online (By Kiflin Turner Associate News Editor)
8 a.m., first official day of class. Do you remember where you were? For some, you might have been in class, and for others, you might have been struggling to catch those last minutes of much-needed early-morning sleep. As for myself, I was standing in line at the Stadium along with hundreds of other students waiting to receive tickets for an undeniably exciting football season.
Viewpoint
- America's national pastime saved, for the moment (Mike Marchand Undistinguished Alumnus)
All last week I was geared up to write my first column of the year about the impending baseball strike. Lo and behold, however, hell apparently froze over and the owners and players settled, averting a disastrous work stoppage and, temporarily at least, moving the metaphorical knife away from their own throats.

- Enjoying sneakers and malls (Maite Uranga Life in Africa)
A lot has happened since the last time I wrote a column. Four more months in Africa definitely provided lots of excitement. Much of my work involves working with girls throughout the school year, so when the school year ended I devised work that would take me to other parts of Mauritania. Peace Corps is a two-year commitment and I have passed the half-way point. Thirty-five new volunteers arrived in the country and 22 old volunteers left so now I am one of the people who is supposed to know that is going on in the country.
- Show enthusiam by wearing ties (Eric Bilinski junior)
As the Maryland game ended and I ran screaming through the halls of Dillon proclaiming my love for interceptions, special teams play and anything "West Coast," my mind turned to our fearless leader, Tyrone Willingham. As I contemplated how my fingers would have be contorted to make a "T" for Ty or a "W" for Willingham during the 1812 Overture, I knew there must be an easier way to support our coach.
- ND must consider Harvard policies (Fritz Warfield associate professor of philosophy)
As has been widely reported, Harvard University has recently modified some of its student disciplinary procedures. As a result of the changes, Harvard will launch full hearings in cases in which sexual misconduct is alleged only if there is at least some corroborating evidence upon which to ground the charge and investigation. The reason for this requirement strikes many observers as obvious: in the absence of any corroborating evidence (examples: a confession, some physical evidence, a third party witness to relevant activity) those hearing and ruling upon the accusation would have to be able to "just see" who is telling the truth in order to reach a proper decision.
- Recognize the positive in South Bend (Jourdan Sorrell junior)
There are not enough words in the English vernacular to describe my feelings after reading the Aug. 30 editorial entitled, "Life outside the bubble draws students into danger." The editorial was the most morally unethical piece of literature that I read to date. It is unfair and an injustice to demonstrate how one incident reflects an entire community. South Bend is like any other city in the United States.

Patience, pop music fans.
- Feeding the `American Idol' addcition (By KATE NAGENGAST Scene Columnist)
It's hard to be choosy about what to watch on TV without cable. Around 8 p.m. on any given weeknight you can count on CBS for its third hour of "Everybody Loves Raymond" reruns, NBC will have an extreme reality show or a stress-inducing drama involving police, firefighters and/or lawyers and ABC usually comes through with an overly dramatic news show featuring a thrilling investigative report on topics like how to escape from man-eating fish that walk on land in Thailand.
