- Putting on an all-star performance No.15 Irish impress in season debut with 98-68 rout of California All-Stars (By BRIAN KESSLER Sports Writer)
There is nothing like watching the Laker Girls on Family Feud to settle a few nerves.
- Irish remain on track for BCS berth (By KATHLEEN O'BRIEN Associate Sports Editor)
After Notre Dame picked up its second loss of the season at Michigan State, it looked like a Bowl Champion Series berth was all but out of the question.

Inside
- A woman's place (Colleen McCarthy Associate News Editor)
As I stood Tuesday night in the packed Grand Hyatt in New York City with other staff members, interns, and supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton, a roar of approval and cheers sounded when the official announcement came that the First Lady had won the election to become the first woman to serve as a senator from New York.
Viewpoint
- Pushing for a true living wage (Todd David Whitmore The Common Good)
Last column, I addressed four objections to the living wage. There are more. I will conclude this theme by addressing the remaining objections.
- Quote of the Day (Rush Limbaugh political commentator)
"Poverty and suffering are not due to the unequal distribution of goods and resources, but to the unequal distribution of capitalism."
- Pressure to get fit to fit in (Amy Schill Dazed and Amused)
I'm not a healthy person. My idea of peak physical condition is being able to walk to DeBartolo without getting a side stitch. Back at home, this wasn't a problem. Sure, experts advocated regular exercise, but most people got enough physical exertion from running away from Governor Bush, who was constantly trying to execute us all. I, however, managed to distract little Georgie with a shiny object, allowing me to concentrate on my Ben & Jerry's and poor educational system. This system worked out well for me and I was ready to continue my high-cholesterol lifestyle, to live the typical pizza-eating, beer-drinking, Animal House-watching college life. But, unfortunately, this isn't any college.
- Father Garrick writes in (Rev. David A. Garrick Sylmar, Calif.)
Since my difficult resignation from Notre Dame in April 1998, I have been through a lot. My religious order sent me, at my request, to Los Angeles to work as a volunteer chaplain for AIDS Project LA and to look for a salaried position in academy. Although I applied to a number of universities, I received no offers, probably because I am over 50 years old and have not been able to find a publisher for my book on theater and rituals of grief.
- Finding one's place (Colleen Murphy senior)
My mother is a pretty good judge of character. She has five children and like a good mother, she recognizes that each of us is different in our own ways. There is the socialite, the radical, the athlete and the baby. I am the humanitarian. Well over fall break, I went with a group of 13 other Notre Dame students to New York City as a participant of the Children and Poverty seminar run by the Center for Social Concerns. We traveled to our nation's biggest city to help some of our nation's poorest children. This trip left me thinking about my role in society.
- Showing courage (Nathaniel Hannan junior)
Tuesday morning, I hung about 25 posters in O'Shaughnessy hall. Posters which you will never see because all but three were systematically ripped down within hours. These posters weren't obscene. They didn't have any foul language, and they were even approved by the Student Activities office.

- Students blast hasty predictions by TV networks (By Helena Payne News Writer)
Several Notre Dame students compared the 2000 presidential elections to a prolonged spectator sport and said the media made hasty predictions about the winner of Florida's electoral votes.
- Bush-Gore race prompts electoral college concerns (By Anne Marie Mattingly News Editor)
The inaguration of a President who did not win the greatest number of popular votes is a distinct possibility this January, according to some Notre Dame and Saint Mary's government professors. If Texas Governor George W. Bush, who will most likely lose the popular vote, carries the toss-up state of Florda, he will win the electoral college by a margin of at least 271 to 260 and become the third president in history to be elected in a divided contest.

Although Stanford Hall resident Curt Roberts will go to Australia in approximately two months, he has spent this semester as an active member of the student senate. An amendment brought to the floor in Wednesday night's senate meeting could prevent future senators and other members of the student union from following in Roberts' footsteps.

Scene
- `Nicky' gets stuck in comedy hell (By JUDE SEYMOUR Scene Movie Critic)
Since Adam Sandler is not only the star of "Little Nicky" but also its co-writer and producer, there is little chance he would admit his movie is not funny. Adam Sandler is too involved in this film, and the result for "Little Nicky" is disaster.
- Sandler offers candid discussion on `Nicky,' future (By JUDE SEYMOUR Scene Movie Critic)
SPECIAL FEATURE
- `Charlie's Angels' is a no-brainer (By GUNDER KEHOE Scene Movie Critic)
With the recent failures of "The Avengers," "A Very Brady Sequel," "Sgt. Bilko" and, most notably, "Wild Wild West," one would hope that Hollywood had learned its lesson. Unfortunately, another old TV show has been force-fed to the American publc in the form of "Charlie's Angels."
- `Legend' is an enjoyable, old-fashioned fable (By BILL FUSZ Scene Movie Critic)
From time to time, a movie comes along that is just a joy to watch. Some may not nominate it for an Academy Award, some may say it's not the most innovative movie of the past year and some may even say it's slightly corny. But despite all that, the film simply captures and holds your attention. "The Legend of Bagger Vance" is such a film.
