- Bye week hurts Notre Dame in latest index (By ERIC CHANOWICH and ERIC SENDELBACH Sports Writers)
This was not the most exciting week on record in college football and not just because Notre Dame didn't play. Despite the absence of a marquee matchup, several interesting upsets provided a reason to watch college football instead of Saturday afternoon infomercials. Don't get us wrong, though; we love devices that let us seal our food in air-tight bags or solvents to miraculously remove stains just as much as the next guy.

- Lyons' defense provides only score in 7-0 win over McGlinn (By HEATHER VAN HOEGARDEN )

Inside
- Follow Peg (Nellie Williams Photo Editor)
Two years ago I arrived in the Dublin airport jetlagged and confused. Twenty-six other students and I wandered around the busy airport, collecting luggage and trying to regroup as we searched for Ireland Program Director Peggy McCarthy. Although we had heard stories about Peggy, who has been the director of the program for the past 25 years from past Ireland students, nothing would have prepared us for our experience with her that year.

- Notre Dame family built on more than cellular service (Amy Chambers junior)
I call my mother and my friends once a week. I call them, not on my cell phone, but sitting down in a chair and in my room. While we talk, I'm really listening to them. I am not wandering around campus or the mall. I am giving them my undivided attention. Since being separated, our relationship has never been stronger.
- Saint Mary's and Notre Dame fail to teach true Catholicism (Mary Beth Ellis South Bend, Ind.)
After reading the Sept. 26 article, "Group discussion analyzes Catholic identity at SMC," I was dismayed, but unfortunately not surprised, to learn of the comments of the participants at this discussion of Saint Mary's Catholic identity. Many of the panelists were leaders in the Saint Mary's and Notre Dame administration and faculty. When the question of what the hallmarks of an "ideal Catholic" are, such phrases as "inclusiveness," "resisting frozen ideas" and "making a just world" filled the air.

- Adams demolishes on Demolition (By LIAM FARRELL Scene Music Critic)
The word prolific can only begin to describe Ryan Adams. For some people, writing is a chore, and writing songs can hardly be described as an easy task for anyone. For Ryan Adams, though, writing music is like breathing, an extension of himself. The creator of the brilliant Heartbreaker and the equally impressive Gold, Ryan Adams seems to take every moment of his life and make it into a song.
- Things are looking bright for Bright Eyes (By LIAM FARRELL Scene Music Critic)
From Omaha, Nebraska, a place not exactly known for producing rock singers and musicians, comes the band Bright Eyes, a very flexible collection of musicians led by the twenty-two year old Conor Oberst. Oberst has been receiving loads of print for both his solo work and his side project, Desaparecidos, even managing to land the politically charged band an unlikely plug on MTV News. Since he was fourteen years old, Oberst has been making musical waves, and Lifted is the newest and fourth release from Bright Eyes.
- Sleater-Kinney gets punky on their latest (By DAVID HARTWIG Scene Music Critic)
Music snobs love to predict what the next big hit band or hit song will be. But sometimes this bragging is justified. This is the case with the band Sleater-Kinney. A music critic can't help but brag about them. Once described as a cross between Metallica and the Indigo Girls, this indie band's latest album One Beat just plain rocks.
