Viewpoint
- Pace of life allows no room for study (By JEFF LANGAN )
As DART season and Thanksgiving approach, we can all start looking forward to the two weeks in February when we will actually be able to concentrate on our academic work. These days, with all the breaks and activities that take place during each semester, it is difficult to actually have the classes we are actually taking foremost on our mind.
- Notre Dame needs conscience clause (By TODD DAVID WHITMORE )
In an earlier column, I mentioned the need for a conscience clause for athletes and coaches at Notre Dame with regard to contracted apparel. Such a clause, placed in every contract with an apparel manufacturer, would read something like the following: "If a coach or athlete after careful examination and discernment cannot in good conscience wear the officially contracted apparel, he or she may wear a reasonable, situationally appropriate alternative." My concern that there be such a clause has arisen from reflection on the problem of the working conditions of those who manufacture the apparel and the recognition that these conditions may provide problems of conscience for a coach or athlete. I say this without making specific judgments about Adidas or Champion companies at the present time and without anticipating making a negative judgment in the future.

- A message for the players (LETTER TO THE EDITOR )
Tomorrow's game is your last game at Notre Dame this year and the last game forever for the seniors. Stop and think about it: You will never again play at the place that you have given yourself to — your blood, sweat and tears, yes your all — for four years of your life! You have worked so hard, so incredibly hard, for so long that it is unthinkable to leave any shadow of a doubt in your mind that you did all of that for nothing — to simply walk away at the end when it matters most. This game will last only one hour on the game clock, but the memory of it — good or bad — will never be erased for as long as you breathe.
