- Expanding service projects to our outlying community (John Micek Class of '01)
Early in last spring semester, residents of the Northeast Neighborhood (the neighborhood adjacent to the southern edge of campus and home to hundreds of Notre Dame students), members of the Center for Social Concerns staff and Notre Dame students gathered together on several occasions to brainstorm possible uses for a vacant building in the neighborhood. A former Goodwill store, the building is located on the corner of Howard and Notre Dame Avenue. Through the conversations, the need for a neighborhood-gathering place became increasingly apparent. As a Goodwill store, the building once provided a place where neighbors met while doing their weekly shopping. When Goodwill pulled out of the neighborhood, the neighbors not only lost a store but also a central place to meet.

The ad stated, "I don't drink, but I have no problem taking advantage of girls that do." I do not see how anyone can find humor in that statement.
