      Few college football fans expected Notre Dame to jump out to a 4-0 start this year.

    • Mens Interhall: St. Ed's starts season late, ready to get victory (By: LISA REIJULA Sports Writer)

    • Protest America (By JOE LINDSLEY Wire Editor)
      The 30th anniversary of co-education at Notre Dame is upon us, but I still have yet to see the special significance of the number thirty. Afterall, this is, also, if anyone is interested, the 160th anniversary of males at Notre Dame. But because of the supposed "gender problems" at Notre Dame, I'll stop myself here immediately, before I unintentionally get myself into any sort of trouble. Therefore, I'll digress, and discuss a different, albeit somewhat related topic: war. And this probably will get me into trouble.

    • Biblical teaching on homosexuality stands (By Becket Gremmels )
      I don't hate gays — never have, never will. I have no fear of a gay man hitting on me. Some of my friends are gay, some of my family are gay, and I still talk to them. However, in no way does that mean I agree with or accept homosexuality.
    • Follow your own dream (By Adam Cahill )
      It is that time again. Career fairs and recruiters from all over the country are coming to Notre Dame to find the best and brightest for their respective companies. Career fairs, in my mind, are just another parental reminder that you need to figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life. That nagging question that appears every Sunday morning when the family calls to check on you. Of course they want to hear the answer that most families want to hear: doctor, lawyer, attorney general.

    • A theater with class (By C. SPENCER BEGGS Scene Editor)
      Hollywood has been lying to you: There are more movies released each year than most people know about. While big-budget studio pictures are distributed nationally to major movie houses almost uniformly, there are hundreds of independent or smaller studio releases that have spottier runs. In fact, the art house movie scene has been remarkably productive in the last decade, producing much of the country's best cinema.
