- HOCKEY: No longer winless Irish prey on Wildcats (MATT ORENCHUK Sports Writer)
The Irish hockey team took an early lead on Friday, and this time didn't blow it. Notre Dame jumped out to a 1-0 lead on Northern Michigan Friday, rallied from a 3-1 deficit, and eventually came out with a 5-4 victory. But the Irish couldn't get it done twice, and dropped the second game to the Wildcats Saturday.
- ND VOLLEYBALL: Offense, defense take turns to bring home victories (NOAH AMSTADTER Sports Editor)
The Irish excelled both on offense and defense this weekend — just not at the same time. The Notre Dame volleyball team improved to 10-0 in the Big East with wins at Pittsburgh and West Virginia, but the similarities between the two matches end with the team in the win column.

- Justice: who pays and when? (Tom Haight Assistant Ad Design Manager)
It's a familiar enough phenomenon in American society: buy now, pay later. It's become so common to our way of life that we don't even think twice about the prospects and commitments it entails. Interestingly enough, I've recently come to the conclusion that the same mentality is present regarding the "War on Terror," which could lead to more dangerous consequences than credit card debt.
Viewpoint
- This is not funny (Mike Marchand Undistinguished Alumnus)
Well, it's been almost a month since my last column, and I was all set to write something light-hearted and happy. Lord knows we all need it. So what better way to pitch into a campus-wide catharsis than to once again bleat about my abysmal social life? Or perhaps discuss campus events — boy, that Bill Kirk is a riot, ain't he? Just saying Bob Davie's name alone is good for a chuckle.
- Quote of the Day (Al Capone gangster)
"The American system of ours, call it Americanism, call it Capitalism, call it what you like, gives each and every one of us a great opportunity if we only seize it with both hands and make the most of it."
- Green shirts about more than school spirit (Brendan P. Harris senior)
I admit it. During Saturday's football game against Tennessee, I was one of those who did not heed the call to create a "sea of green" in Notre Dame Stadium. I wore The Shirt as a show of solidarity with both the football team and the students of this University. As a member of student government, one might have expected to see me supporting a "student led" effort to wear kelly green. However, it is my position in student government that allowed me to learn the real story behind the green campaign. Sad to say, I found that the real motivation behind the movement was not the unification of Notre Dame fans, but rather simple corporate greed.
- Pick a color, any color (Matt Tarrant sophomore)
This whole shirt thing is really annoying. First it's buy The Shirt so we can all be blue. Then it's wear pink for breast cancer awareness. Now it's buy a new shirt so we can all be green.
- Allotting too many Vols seats (Tim O'Connor senior)
Last year, for whatever reason, a sizeable number of Notre Dame fans sold out and allowed Nebraska fans to invade our stadium, clothed in red, resulting in one of the more embarrassing sights in recent Notre Dame football history. Saturday afternoon a very similar event occurred, only this time it wasn't the alumni or the faculty or the students who sold out. I don't imply that I know who is in charge of ticket allotments to visiting fans in our stadium. However, after four years of home games, I have a pretty clear idea of how many seats are usually reserved for visiting fans. Saturday's game against Tennessee apparently doubled the typical allotment of visiting seats.

Four U.S. church women raped and murdered. Six Jesuit priests assassinated. Nine hundred civilians massacred. The events are linked because perpetrators of these crimes attended the U.S. government funded School of the Americas (SOA).
Scene
- French autumn missing that `je ne sais quoi' (By LAURA KELLY Scene Writer)
Fall is a strange time to be away from home, to be away from the Midwest. I think of November, I think of football games and leaf piles that smell of burning wood always in the air. Here, autumn is nothing special; the leaves shrivel up and die without ever changing color — the weather stays more or less the same. No one carves pumpkins or talks about going home for Thanksgiving.

Ah, November. The month when the snow begins falls, the temperature plummets, the work becomes unbearable and Spring Break planning starts.
