- Web dependency (Mike Connolly Editor in Chief)
I never really bought into the whole "information superhighway" hype about the Internet. I always thought the Internet was convenient and it was nice to be able to find information quickly and easily; I never really thought it was very revolutionary.

- Keeping your computer happy (Molly Strzelecki Growing up to Be a Kid)
I'm not going to lie to you. Underneath this saucy facade lies the brain of a computer genius. I can reconfigure your hard drive in just a couple of hours. I'll install an entirely new network for you in a day. And as an added bonus, I'll even teach you how to play Free Cell.

- Working for service after graduation (Brittany Morehouse It's All About Anthropology)
On the eve of Oct. 26, The Young Leaders of Old Saint Patrick's Church in Chicago held their fourth annual fall dinner and award presentation. The group was indeed, diverse. Among the invited guests were educators of all ages, well-known entrepreneurs, successful figures in the business world, community leaders from the local and national levels, representatives of the religious order and eager students.

- Congratulating Mr. Notre Dame (Letter to the Editor )
Last Thursday, between 800 and 1,000 students attended the first ever Mr. Notre Dame pageant. The winner, freshman Ryan Crochet of Keenan Hall, put on a show for the ages. His talent was a Chippendale-style dance to the Divinyls "I Touch Myself" that had the audience on their feet both cheering and laughing at the same time. By the end of it, he was in black tights and a red bow-tie. Let me not forget one important factor; he's about 300 pounds. The other finalists were quite good, but the night was stolen by Big Ryan as he charmed the ladies during the question and answer section. We've anxiously awaited The Observer's take on the pageant, but since no article as of yet has been printed, we at Keenan Hall would like to give him some well-deserved press. Congratulations to the big fella and we can't wait for a repeat performance next year.

- Abolish Electoral College (Observer Editorial )
With one of the closest presidential elections in history coming to a close today, there is a chance a candidate who wins the popular vote will lose the Electoral College. The Electoral College is an outdated system that reduces the presidential election to a struggle for a few battleground states while most of the country is ignored by the candidates.

- Guster thrills Irish crowd with quality rock show (By LISA BRUNO Scene Music Critic)
To have a great concert, a couple of things are needed. Obviously a great band that plays amazing live music is at the core of what's required. But sometimes you get lucky, and not only do you get that, but you get a band that is completely unique and the real thing — not a mass-produced, choreographed, accessorized bunch.
