- Explain policy regarding OutreachND (Marlayna Soenneker Here We Go Again)

- Value promises, integrity (Dan Connolly class of '98)
In my four years at Notre Dame, there was always one thing you could count on: the members of the administration of the University of Notre Dame would carry out their idea of moral justice with a heavy hand, with little or no regard for anyone else's principles or opinions. They ran things "by the book." While this was frustrating at times, they could at least be respected for their consistency, and the emphasis that they placed on morality.
- Uphold equal standards (John C. Thurmond class of `94)
I am extremely concerned and even angry at the University's position (or lack of one) regarding Cooper Rego's return to campus for the West Virginia game.

Scene
- Washington turns to the dark side (By ADAM WELTLER Scene Movie Critic)
"To protect the sheep, you must catch the wolf. It takes a wolf to catch a wolf."
- Mitchell rocks every `Inch' of movie musical (By BILL FUSZ Scene Movie Critic)
Any movie in which the main character writes a thesis on rock 'n' roll and German philosophical sensibilities entitled "You Kant Always Get What You Want" is a must-see. Likewise for a movie that has a child telling his mom, "Jesus said the darned-est things."

- Escapism of `Serendipity' fits the times (By LIAM DACEY Scene Movie Critic)
Webster's definition of the word "serendipity" is "an aptitude for making fortunate discoveries accidentally."

Instead, it tries to incorporate a message that gives hope to us all.

Irish rock band U2 made their way to South Bend to kick off the third leg of their critically acclaimed Elevation Tour. And what a kick-off it was, as millions watched around the world.
