Inside
- Remember football glory (Colin Boylan Sports Copy Editor)
Remember what student life was like here at Notre Dame in 1988? When football national championships seemed to grow on trees? When the question wasn't if the Irish would defeat their next opponent, but by how much? When hanging 60 points on Rutgers did not mean that the Irish defense somehow managed to return eight turnovers for touchdowns or that Nicholas Setta improbably kicked 20 field goals in one game?
Viewpoint
- Never forget, never surrender (Mike Marchand Undistinguished Alumnus)
The moment I remember most about Sept. 11, 2001 wasn't any of the horrific images from New York City, Washington, D.C. or Pennsylvania I watched on television, but rather a real, tangible event I was present for — the hastily arranged Mass on South Quad in which 7,000 people united in a show of both mourning and support. I was never so proud to be a member of the Notre Dame family as I was then, and I still feel that way.

"Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind."
- Appreciating the best of both worlds (Maite Uranga Life in Africa)
I just got back to Mauritania after three weeks in the United States. I definitely needed to go home, but I am also happy to be back here. I arrived about 20 hours ago and the bizarre thing is that Africa is no longer strange.
- Notre Dame girls don't deserve criticism (Mary Henrick senior)
I have had enough, and it's time I spoke up about it. I am writing this letter in a state of wounded rage, inspired by the actions of the biggest drunken jerk I have been unfortunate enough to encounter. Thank you, drunken jerk, for ruining one of the few remaining football games I will attend as a student. You may not remember your hurtful remarks, but I will. You were, so to speak, the straw that broke the camel's back.
- SMC ranks number one in polls, hearts (Katherine Middlemas Saint Mary's College)

Scene
- Short attention span literature Scene looks at five books that even those with the attention spans of easily distracted gnats can enjoy (By C. SPENCER BEGGS Scene Editor)
Let's face it. The last thing most college students need is another book to read. Between Boat Club, Corby's, Heartland, The Library, Coach's, The Backer, McCormick's, Club 23 and that one place we go to, like, learn, there's just not enough time in the week to fit in pleasure reading anymore. And in a day and age in which the typical college student is exposed to nightly mind-expanding marathons of "The Anna Nicole Smith Show" and high-culture relationship advice from "elimiDATE," our attention spans have been reduced to … wait, what were we talking about … oh yeah, to less than the lifespan of a suicidal fruit fly with liver cancer born in a fly swatter factory. But the media mogul powers that be have responded in kind by producing a new type of reading: short attention span literature. So, sit back, relax and pop a couple Ritalins as we look at the latest and greatest in this exciting, if quickly, forgotten genre.
