IOBSERVER Thursday, September 21, 1995 • Vol. XXVII No. 24 The Observer/Mike Ruma T1II: INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER SERVING NOTRE DAME AND SAINT MARY'S Geyer: Journalists ‘chained’ to desks By KAREN BELL News Writer “If you have a terrible war with 2000 people trying to get out and 12 trying to get in, the 12 will be the foreign corre spondents.” Georgie Anne Geyer, an au thor and syndicated columnist, delivered the annual Red Smith Lecture in Journalism last evening in the llesburgh Li brary Auditorium. Entitled, “Who Killed the Foreign Correspondent?”, Geyer spoke of how journalists, often seen as a dying breed, are becoming chained by the infor mation superhighway at the expense of adventure and con text. When they do “parachute" into the outside world, they simply capture a mere glimpse of the reality they can put together in just a few hours. A native of Chicago and the first female foreign correspon dent for “The Chicago Daily News," Geyer has earned a place in the Chicago Journalism Hall of Fame as well as hon orary degrees from some 20 institutions, including North western University and Saint Mary’s College. Traditionally, the foreign cor respondent was seen as a blend of Humphrey Bogart and Pope John Paul II. a loyal comrade with an added streak of insani ty that kept him in the job. He would be sent by a paper to live three to six years, or even a lifetime, in one area. Seen as a in glamorous pro fession, he was safe alongside the Red Cross and clergy; the neutral status was seen as a step forward in civilized behav ior, according to Geyer. The change came, not with Vietnam, but with Cambodia and the uprising of guerilla warfare and militia. The perils of the job have reached life threatening pro portions today. In fact, 1994 was the bloodi est year in the profession with 115 deaths; being deliberately targeted, they are more often slaughtered in the most primi tive of ways with axe and knife. Meanwhile, at home, due to financial pressures, papers were being closed or merged as the computers took over, si phoning information from the superhighway. Epitomizing the change, Geyer saw the CNN coverage of the Gulf war as rather like a story without images. 3000 journalists sent out stories, but had no knowledge of the area, culture or language; in essence, they had no context and their stories were flat. Now that the center of com munism has broken down, the U.S. has lost its leadership role. The breakdown of the tribes has made the world a more foreign place than ever. Geyer explained that the role of the correspondent is becom ing more diplomatic, focusing on conveying government poli cies and stance on political issues. According to Geyer, our col lective ability to know the world has diminished since the 1970s; she asserted that “to know the future is to know what has happened before.” In addition to highlighting the importance of history, she stressed the need to know who we are, what we believe and why, before we can understand someone else who is different. see GEYER/ page 4 The new College of Business Administration building, pictured above, will be officially dedicated in a ceremony to be held Friday. COBA dedication underway Symposium, blessing to celebrate buisiness building’s official beginning By JOHN NORTON News Writer __________________________ Today and tomorrow, Notre Dame will officially unveil one of the finest, most technologi cally advanced business school building in the world. On Friday, the new College of Business Administration complex will be officially dedi cated. “We expect this new facility to attract even more world renowned faculty and help the business school, both graduate and undergraduate programs, rise in national rankings,” said Professor James O’Rourke, di rector of Notre Dame Center for Business Communication. The dedication will be high lighted by a symposium on the changing state of information technology and communica tions entitled “The Information Revolution: Global Change and the New Social Order. ” The symposium will feature presentations from three lead ing figures in communications, business and government. Anne Wells Branscomb, a communications and computer lawyer from Harvard Univer sity, Franklin Sonn, the South African ambassador to the United States, and Kenichi Ohmae, an internationally renowned business consultant from Japan and head of the Yokohama management group, will be the featured speakers during the two-day event. The program begins today at 1:30 p.m. in the building’s Jor dan Auditorium with Branscomb.

Today, The Observer looks at the Senate's creation and the role its members think it plays. By GWENDOLYN NORGLE Assistant News Editor While having a stronger voice in academic affairs and governance of the University may have been the necessity that mothered the invention of the Faculty Senate, its roles and responsibilities have become more clearly defined in recent years. The Faculty Senate “was set up originally to have faculty input in academic ideas in the University,” according to Father Theodore Hesburgh, Notre Dame president emeritus. The Senate was established to give faculty more input in the governance of the University, according to Associate Professor of finance Paul Conway, a founding father of the Senate. The Senate was meant to serve as a substitute for the American Association for University Professors (AAUP). The administration preferred the Senate to this union-like organi zation, which was not sanctioned by if16 i# S*HI b)ate the administration, according to Conway, a 28-year veteran of the Senate. “I was the last survivor” of the orig inal Senate, he said. Conway served five terms as the Senate’s chair at five different times: 1977, ‘78, ‘91, ‘92 and ‘93. When it was created in 1967, “there was no vehicle for calling a meeting,” Conway said. “And we elected pro tempore officers.” This past year, Conway was not re elected to the Senate, however, dur ing each of his years as chair, “the role of governance and the possibility of unionizing was an issue,” Conway said. Two other important issues dealt with by the Senate during Conway’s years of involvement included the University’s policies of sexual harassment and gender in clusive language. The work of the Senate since its creation has included the discussion of health benefits and the rules for promotion and tenure, the establish ment of a budget priorities committee and the establishment of the Provost Advisory Committee (PAC), which now has ten elected faculty members. According to current Chair of the Faculty Senate Father Richard McBrien, Conway played a key role in “securing important benefits for the faculty.” While the need for the Faculty Senate may have remained the same over the past quarter century, many of its goals have become more clearly defined. The Senate’s “primary purpose” is “accountability,” according to McBrien, who has been the Senate’s chair since September of 1993 and who is currently in his third term. Accountability, he said at the Senate’s first meeting this year, in cludes the preservation of “the acad emic integrity and future of the University,” while honoring its “claim to Catholicity.” At the meeting, McBrien asked the Senate for its most “constructive and effective participation in the life and goverance of Notre Dame.” The Senate is not just a tenure and advisory group, McBrien said recent ly. “One common criticism from the faculty’s point of view is that the Faculty Senate is just a debating soci- see SENATE/page 4 The Observer/Brandon Candura Richard McBrien, a professor of theology at the University* enters his third year as Chairperson of the Faculty Senate.

An open letter to
Notre Dame men
Amy SchmidtAssistant News Editor
D ear E steem ed Male S tuden ts o f the Notre D am e Com munity,
I am w riting to you in an effort to add ress a very serious an d tim ely issue. F rankly, I am quite a la rm ed abou t the w hole thing, and I am equally d istu rbed ab o u t the obvious m iscom m unication th a t is so ra m p a n t betw een the m ales and fem ales on th is cam pus.
Due to lack of space (and the fact th a t th e re is no o th e r w ay to b roach the subject), I will p u t it simply.
WOMEN DO NOT LIKE FACIAL HAIR. C ontrary to popu la r m ale belief, it is not
sexy, m acho, rugged , chic, o r m anly to grow an annoying tra il of h a ir th a t casts an evil shadow along the chin.
I will adm it th a t th e re a re som e m en w ho look good w ith a goatee, b u t I have yet to see a guy on th is cam pus w ho could give B rad P itt a ru n for his m oney.
I have racked my b ra in for a reaso n to explain o r rationalize why m en th ink they look b e tte r unshaven . P erhaps it is because they th ink it is a sup rem e dec lara tion of the ir m anhood.
“Look a t m e. I have facial hair. T hat m eans I have a n ino rd ina te am ount of testo ste rone coursing th ro u g h my veins. I am a m a n .”
Or m aybe it is a subconscious desire to be like th e Braw ny p ap e r tow el m an.
“If I have facial ha ir, I can chop dow n tree s in the forest. I will be a m a n ’s m an. Girls will th ink I am cool.”
I am also su re th a t som e guys th ink it is becom ing to have th a t “just-ro lled-out-of- b ed -and d idn’t-have-tim e-to-shave“ look.And w h a t is w ith th a t “hm m -I’m -pondering- som eth ing-very-im portan t-and-m ust-rub-m y- ch in-betw een-m y-thum b-and-fo refinger” look? I have never seen a m an sans-goatee m ak ing a sim ilar gestu re .
W hatever the rea so n for th is tren d , it h as to stop! I have w itnessed the defecting of one too m any a m ale friend — not only h e re , bu t a t o th e r schools, too — into the land of the five o’clock shadow .
At th is point, you m ay be w ondering why I have such an aversion to goatees, m ustaches, b ea rds , an d the like. This in tense dislike is deeply roo ted in a horrib le childhood m em ory.
E ach C hristm as, I w ould feel sh eer te rro r as I balanced on my tip toes to kiss my uncle on the cheek. Come to th ink of it, it felt m ore like a p a in tb ru sh th a n a cheek.
N eedless to say, facial h a ir will always rem in d m e of my Kenny Rogers look-alike uncle w hose face felt m ore like san d p ap e r th a n a face.
As I close th is le tte r, I have a bit o f advice for all the m en out th e re who a re now contem pla ting grow ing a goatee or com parab le facial eyesore ,
DON’T DO IT! It is the m ost crue l form of v isual pollution im aginable.
Instead , th ink abou t this: Shaving is sexy. W hy else w ould so m any w om en drool over those Gillette com m ercials?
Be free! Let those chins, cheeks, an d up p er lips show. You’ll th a n k m e for it.
Sincerely,A C oncerned S tudent

Argum ent w ith evolution

You know, we all like to have a good laugh a t Notre D am e’s expense. Citadel of Catholic Learning and all th a t — very funny. But now I see h e re th a t Philip J o h n s o n , a la w p r o f e s s o r f ro m th e University of California a t Berkeley, w as in v i te d to g iv e a l e c tu r e e n t i t l e d “D arw in ism on T ria l” in D eB arto lo on M onday . A jo k e ’s a jo k e , b u t th is is going too far. T hat a university supposedly am ong the nation ’s elite, o r for th a t m a t t e r a n y in s t i tu t i o n o f le a r n in g , should invite som eone to pontificate in this way is a d isgrace. Repeat: it is a disgrace.
I s h o u ld n ’t —have to be w riting th is, bu t the im p r im a tu r o f N o tre D am e is a ll o v e r th is th in g .

Now get this straigh t. A law professor has no m ore business deba ting biology th a n he does flying the Space S huttle . H is to r ia n s a r e n ’t q u a lif ie d to d e b a te Chem ical Engineering, and Theologians a re n ’t qualified to deba te A strophysics. T he id e a th a t they a re w en t o u t w ith Galileo.

Erich von D aniken, the au th o r of Chariots o f the Gods?, who claim ed th a t p a g a n d e itie s w e re in a c tu a lity sp a ce aliens, is also a favorite of m ine. But I w ouldn’t invite him to speak a t my un iversity.
Johnson spoke of the “scientific debate on D a r w in is m .” T h e r e is no s u c h debate. C harles D arw in solved the m ystery of species diversity over a hundred y e a rs ago to th e sa tis fa c tio n of every

a w ard in biology, geology, an d zoology s ince then , including the all- im p o rtan t discovery of DNA, h as confirm ed it. E v o lu tio n is l i t e r a l ly w r i t te n in o u r m o le cu les. “D arw inism on

Bryan w as a t least honest. To invite som eone as disingenuous as Johnson to sp e ak d o es en o rm o u s d isc re d it to us. W hat w as the GSU thinking? W hat w as th e Law S ch o o l th in k in g ? A nd how co u ld th e M a r ita in c e n te r , w h ic h is

You have to stay on top of th is so rt of thing.

44Tlove fools’ experiments. I la m always making them.”
Dear EditorLove. W e all d esire it. To be loved by som ebody is the g rea tes t
feeling in th e w orld. It is w onderful to receive gifts from th a t p e rson, to have them do som ething special for you o r ju s t to spend tim e together.
Je su s loves us and he has given us a physical sign of th is love: th e E ucharist. At every m ass th e sacrifice of Jesus on th e cross is ren ew ed for each an d every one of us, if w e choose to take p a r t in it. It is the sacrifice on the cross by w hich w e a re freed from sin. B e ca u se o f th is sa c rif ic e w e can d a re to a s k God to show us m ercy, w hich we do no t deserve because of o u r m any sins, and he will g ra n t it to us if w e a re tru ly so rry for the sins w e have com m itted .
How aw esom e m ass is then! It is the con tinuation of the sa c rifice of Calvary. Je su s becom es p re se n t am ong us an d gives us H im self for nou rish m en t and streng th . T ruly He is the B read of Life by w hich w e will ob ta in everlasting happiness.
W hy do so few people take advan tage of th e m eans o f salvation w hich Je sp s gives to us each and every day? How can w e hope to survive in a w orld such as ours if we only partic ipa te a t m ass and rec e iv e O ur Lord only once a w eek? J e su s is h e re for u s , to s tren g th en us an d guide us, every day, no t only a t m ass b u t continually in th e tabernac le . He w ho h as given u s the b ird s, trees , g rass , sky, s ta rs , ea r th , an d N otre Dam e, O ur M other, h as also given u s th e g re a te s t gift, Himself. Let u s no t h e ind ifferen t to th is g re a t gift o f love given to us by the One w ho loves u s so m uch th a t He crea ted us, b u t re tu rn the love by partak in g in the Holy E u ch aris t an d using the tim es ado ra tion ab u n d a n t on th is cam pus to p ray in thanksgiving for the incredible gift o f love th a t Jesus sh a re s w ith us.

The re c e n t exchanges of le tte rs in the O bserver on evolution convey som e u se fu l o b se rv a tio n s .

I have found it difficult to clarify from th e se d iscu ssio n s exactly th e po in ts a t issue, b u t the strong im pression given by Mr. Beeli is th a t the m ore a p p ro p ria te re s p o n s e w ou ld b e a lo n g th e lin e s of w h a t h as com e to be te rm ed “C reation Science.’

It is p re s u m e d in th e s e d isc u ss io n s th a t th e re is no se t of good reaso n s th a t could be supplied. A long line of opposition h as a ttem p ted to tre a t the m a tte r as a case before the bar: w h a t is the evid e n c e th a t c a n s ta n d u p to r ig o ro u s cross-exam ination by law yers concerned w ith ru les of evidence?
I su g g e s t th a t th e s e a r e th e w ro n g k inds of q u es tio n s to be ask in g of th is kind of h is to rica l scientific theory , and fairly would have to apply to h istorical geo logy , cosm ology , o r to an y th e o ry th a t seeks to explain p rese n t conditions by appeal to p rocesses in the h istorical past.

E X P E R I M E N T A T I O NStanford Prison Experiment lights up Chicago’s Fireside Bowl, September 14, 1995By ALEX AGUIRREAccent Music Critic____________________________________________________
A round a year ago, som eone a t the Fireside Bowl / \ in Chicago dec ided to s ta r t booking punk an d
X X in d ie show s to provide an outlet for the grow ing local scene. B ecause of the risks and lack of financial payoff, the b ig g e r v en u es su ch as th e M etro o r the Lounge Ax hesita ted from ca te ring to this th rea ten in g scene.
Fortunately, how ever, the F ireside Bowl stepped up and opened its doors w ith no o ther m otivation bu t to prov ide an o u tle t for th e local c o u n te r-c u ltu re . T he in d u s t ry , h u n g ry fo r su c h a v e n u e h a s ta k e n fu ll a d v a n ta g e , book ing show s co n s is te n tly for the p a s t y ea r. L ocated on W est F u lle r to n , ju s t off the 90 -94 fre e w a y , fa r from th e w a s te la n d o f s u b u r b ia , th e Fireside Bowl looks anything like a show case for rising nam es in punk. Yes, it’s still an opera ting bowling a lley, and yes, you can bowl while the v ibrations of the ad jacen t m akeshift stage som etim es help your score.
T his novel v en u e h a s re lu c ta n tly g a in ed n a tio n a l attention. I say reluctan tly because interview s re q u e s ted by sev era l n o tab le m ag az in es (Spin, Sassy) have been politely declined.
Not this tim e, though.The m an ag er for the evening passed on to me th a t
p resen tly , a lth o u g h offered no financial g u a ra n te e s , bands and labels com e to them for bookings. The night I w as there , the th ree bands split a m easly $100. But the music industry continues to flock to the ir doorstep , som etim es uninvited, because a t the F ireside they are g u a ra n te e d ex p o su re to an a ll-ages crow d. On som e nights, as m any as th ree hundred fans crow d the alley, w h ile on o th e r n ig h ts , on ly tw e n ty fa n s sh o w up . S p e c if ic a lly , p u n k b a n d s do b e s t a t th e F ire s id e because all-age punk show s are a ra rity in Chicago.
Recently, Sweep the Leg Johnny, a band very fam ilia r to Notre Dame, perform ed around 10 feet from lane 12 an d rece ived good rev iew s from th e s ta ff a t the F ire s id e . At th e F ire s id e you w o n ’t find th e sw e e t sounds of buzz-clip bands. W hat you will find is a pure a n d b l i s t e r in g e x p r e s s io n o f th e u n d e r g r o u n d enhanced by the ro a r of balls and pins c rash ing and the fam iliar stench com m on to m ost bow ling alleys.
This evening, the stage and aud ience w as m esm erized by th e r a g e a n d fu ry o f th e S ta n fo rd P riso n Experim ent. Form ed in 1990, SPE is finally gaining the recognition it deserves. Having toured w ith bands such a s th e J e s u s L iz a rd , R age A g a in s t th e M a c h in e , Quicksand and 7 Y ear Bitch, SPE has been to Europe and back and is ju s t now sta rtin g to rea p the inevitable recognition . This band is going som ew here and fast. T ouring beh ind its second re le a se , The Gato H unch, p roduced by Ted Nicely (Girls A gainst Boys, Fugazi, Jaw box), SPE ap p e a ls to the g u ita r hung ry lis ten e r, w h o p o s s e s s e s a n in s u r m o u n ta b le c o n te m p t o f A m erican culture.
Sitting with the band for an inform al interview over d in n e r , I w as qu ick ly e n g ro s se d in a c o n v e rsa tio n a b o u t th e m in i-re v o lu tio n in C h iap as , th e p e r ilo u s Ju d eo -C h ris tian a sp ec ts o f o u r cu ltu re and the p ro
found m usical ingenuity of G uided By Voices. S inger M ario Jim enez revealed his su rp rising views abou t the rec en t quasi-punk explosion of the W est. He felt th a t as long as som e m inds w ere changed an d o th e rs m ade m ore free-th inking, it w as all righ t for punk to be ac cep ted by the m asses.
Unlike m ost bands flourishing in the industry , SPE is a b a n d w ith a n e a g e r to be h e a rd m e ssa g e . W hen a s k e d a b o u t h is p ro v o c a tiv e ly r ic s , th e s in g e r r e sponded by conceding th a t a lthough his lyrics ap p e ar a b s tra c t on p a p e r , the m essage is tan g ib le an d re a l w hen com bined w ith the m usic. T heir se t convinced m e. Mike S ta rk e y ’s in n o v a tiv e an d d is to rte d g u ita r com bined w ith Davey L atter’s num bing ferocity behind th e d ru m s p ro v id e d a w a ll o f r a g e fo r ly r ic s like “w ho’s got the pow er w hen my foot is on your neck .” J im en e z m oved a b o u t the s ta g e e r ra tic a lly , s ing ing w ith an overw helm ing and determ ined intensity.
I cou ldn’t help bu t notice the subtle sm ile of L atter as he u n leash ed every ounce of energy he had into the drum s. E arlie r I had asked why, a t 31, he keeps to u ring re len tle ssly . A fter m uch th o u g h t he rep lied (not verbatim ), “T h ere ’s nothing like being on stage for the 40 or so m inutes we get for our set. The feeling I get w hen I look out to the crow d is incredible. W hen the crow d is singing your songs, th a t’s the b es t.”
W hen asked w hether SPE w ere afra id of crossing the line, Jim enez quickly responded , “ I don’t th ink abou t th a t . W e ta k e i t so n g by s o n g .” S ta n fo rd P r is o n E x p erim en t will to u r E urope a f te r a couple of m ore stops in the N orthw est.

The “index .h tm l” file h as to be w ritten in HTML (H ypertext M arkup Language) so th a t the com puter u n d e rs ta n d s w h a t you w an t it to do, w h e th e r th a t be displaying a huge p ic tu re of yourself o r w riting your own autob iography . HTML consists of reg u la r tex t in te rsp ersed w ith com m ands and cues th a t the com pu ter un d erstan d s. All these com m ands and cues will be p laced w ith in these funny ch a rac ters : <>, an d everything outside of those ch a ra c te rs will ap p e ar as tex t on th e page.
T hrough HTML, you can load all k inds of fun stuff. To le a rn HTML, ru n th ro u g h th e p rim er in th e guide to c rea tin g WEB pages, then view the source code on o th e r people’s pages.
H ere’s a little know n secret: you can g en e ra te a hom epage en tirely by cu tting and copying source code from th e pages of o thers. Ju s t find one you like, copy the source coad (from the “View” m enu) into your own index file, and change the nam e an d the personal inform ation.
Once you get the h an g of HTML, open up a w ord processo r, Sim ple T ext w orks fine, an d code (or copy) aw ay. T hen save the file in th e “w w w ” directory on your AFS space as, you guessed it, “index.htm l."
W e now have to se t th e access privileges for the “w w w ” d irectory , o therw ise no one will be ab le to give it a look. W e do this th rough a T elnet session. Open the application T elnet an d then open a session from the File m enu. Log on to a Server, any se rv e r will do (i.e.. boron .helios.nd .edu), and provide your AFS ID an d passw ord . It will pop you into a com m and prom pt.
H ere’s the tricky part: a t the prom pt en te r , “fs se tac l w w w system ranyuser r l.” (NO P eriods a t the end. I ju s t had to finish m y sen tence.) Then “logout” of your se ssion and w e a re ju s t abou t ready to roll.
To get your nam e on the Personal H om epage list, go to the link th a t says, “ad d your hom epage to the list" on the P ersonal H om epages Page They will ask you one m ore tim e for your AFS ID. If you did everything righ t, you’re done.
You now have a fully functional hom epage listed u n d e r your nam e in N otre D am e’s Personal H om epages Section.
Go ah ead and modify your hom epage to su it your persona l taste . The b es t w ay to do th is is to have N etscape an d your tex t ed ito r open a t the sam e tim e. T h a t w ay w hen you save your changes, all you have to do is re load the page in N etscape to see w hat chaos you’ve c a u s e d ..

Big Audio Dynamite churns out a clunkBy ROB ADAMSM usic Editor
B ig Audio D ynam iteF-Punk
out of five
O ne of the m ost exciting and unexpected rum ors fo r L o llap a lo o za ‘95 w as th a t th e h e a d lin e rs would be a reun ion of the Clash. It w as never
d isclosed exactly why they did not end up getting back toge ther, bu t we do know th a t it is not because of the m usic th a t Mick Jo n e s’ Big Audio D ynam ite h as been m ak ing recently .
M egatop Phoenix, th e ir 1989 re le a se , is the only Big Audio D ynam ite album th a t is decen t from beg in n in g to end , an d n o t only th a t, it is fan ta s tic . F or som e reaso n , on th a t album , the syn thesizers, the guita rs , the sam plers, and the vocals com e toge ther p e r fectly in a sw oosh of gorgeous rhy thm and im agery.
T he th re e Big Audio D ynam ite album s th a t cam e b e fo re M ega top P hoen ix w e re th e d ev e lo p m en t of Jo n e s’ d ream and now, th ree album s afte r it, lis teners a re left w ith the rem ains of Jo n e s’ d ream .
F-Punk, Big Audio D ynam ite’s la tes t re lease picks up w h ere la s t y e a r ’s H igher Power left off: “Going d o w n .” S in c e 1 9 8 9 , “ R u s h ” a n d (B ig A u d io D ynam ite’s new them e) “Looking for a Song” w ere the only tw o pieces th a t w ere up to the p a r of M egatop Phoenix.
“I T u rned out a P unk” tu rn ed out to be th is album ’s
only song w ith the em otion, groove, an d chem istry of the M egatop w ork , th e ir th ird for th e decade . Its grinding, p rogressive rhythm , led by Jo n e s’ righ teous gu ita r an d steady, congruen t vocals gives F-Punk the im pression th a t th is album is going to be different.
The song does no t fade gently as an excellent te ch no a r r a n g e m e n t su d d e n ly fu ses w ith th e p rev io u s stra ig h t-fo rw ard rock-n-roll to provide an ironic tw ist to the song’s self-m ocking title.
A light jungle b ea t teases the song “It’s a Jungle out T h e re ," a to u c h in g s to ry a b o u t s t r e e t life, b u t the a t te m p t to p la ce th e h a rd c o re b e a t (it so u n d s like Jam es B row n’s “Funky D rum m er ” a t 45 rpm instead of 33) into a pop song s tru c tu re is like try ing to m ake die t coke by th row ing lots of ice into reg u la r coke.
Jones reach es som e vocal heigh ts on “Gonna T ry ,” show ing som e excitem ent as opposed to h is usually se ren e self. The song’s m ood and rhy thm rem ind one of “King of Com edy” by R.E.M. from th e ir la tes t r e lease , M onster.
In fact, “G onna T ry” is the m ost noticeable, bu t not the only place on F-Punk w here Big Audio Dynam ite em ulates the G eorgia gu ru s ' la test. The w hole album in g en e ra l seem s like an unconscious a ttem p t to do w ith techno w hat M onster did w ith pop—mix it w ith sludgy, d is to rte d fuzzbox rh y th m an d c re a te so m eth in g o f a b e a u t if u l s u b - g e n re . M o n s te r a lm o s t w orked. F-Punk really doesn’t w ork. The album ends up sounding like a really long rock song w ith techno b ea ts stuck in betw een a t ce rta in p a r ts for filler.
“V itam in C” h as a d raw n out beginning and sounds like Jones is ju s t hoping you’ll like the song because it’s easy for you to sing along. A touching ballad is attem p ted and fails on “Got to Set h e r F ree .” A nother a ttem p t is m ade w ith an am bien t song fea tu ring a pop song s tru c tu re on “I ca n ’t go on Like T his” w hich is lis tenable bu t not anyw here n e a r insatiable.
F-Punk fea tu re s tigh t fusion in be tw een the rock an d tech n o . C lever hooks a re a p p a re n t in c e r ta in a re a s and p a rticu la r riffs som etim es strike a p le asa n t nerve . T he p o ten tia l for Jo n e s ’ fo rm ula to b lossom ag a in ex ists , b u t a m a jo r tu rn -a ro u n d is n e c e s sa ry b e fo re Big A udio D y n am ite 's m usic is as s te lla r as M egatop Phoenix again. Maybe Lollapalooza will try h a rd e r next year.

F ollowing the huge success of th e ir album A urora Gory A lice , Letters to Cleo recen tly re leased wholesale
m ea ts a n d f is h - a m ore heavily toned twelve song CD.

They hastily re le a se d w ho lesa le m e a ts a n d f i s h in hopes of re ta in ing the success they had a lread y found.
from L ancaster, PA th a t gives the people w hat they’ve w anted .
On Glow, the Innocence Mission com es the closest to the m uch-m issed Sundays sound , b u t in a fash ion th a t leaves no d o u b t th a t th ey h av e th e ir ow n s ta te m en t to m ake.
F ans of H a rrie t W h eeler’s pouty s a r casm will be d issa tis fie d . Lead s in g e r a n d c h ie f s o n g w r i te r K a re n P e r is is m ore concerned w ith reflecting, and by the sound of it, she has m any th ings on w hich to reflect.

U n fo r tu n a te ly , L e t te r s to Cleo fa lls sh o rt of the expectations th a t w ere built by A urora Gory A lice . Despite H anley’s enticing vocals and clever lyric w riting, L etters to Cleo’s new re lease lacks m usic a l v a r i a n c e c a u s in g it to b e f a ir ly forgettable.
The album does ca rry a m uch heavier sound and opens w ith abou t ten seconds o f f e e d b a c k to e m p h a s iz e th is p o in t before b reak ing into song.
The a b ru p t th ra sh of deeply d isto rted g u i t a r s fo u n d o n “D em o n R ock ” a tte m p ts to c o n tra s t H anley’s p le a sa n t voice as she sings, “W hat say you dem on / w h a t say you dem on rock / of w h a t / I’m the rock of G ib raltar.” It ap p ears as if Letters to Cleo is lyrically trying to set the stage for the re s t of th e ir album by dealing w ith a d a rk e r side of m usic.
This tone is found on the second song a s w e ll w h ic h u s e s a lm o s t th e e x a c t s a m e c h o rd p r o g r e s s io n a s “D em o n Rock, ” b u t th is tim e H anley is acco m
w as aro u n d .” It’s no t dea th , b u t a quiet sen se of f ru s tra tio n th a t P eris tr ie s to express, and she ham m ers it vocally and lyrically like few “a lternative g irls” have.
P u re a c c o m p lis h m e n t , a c tu a l ly , is w hat m akes th is album g rea t. It’s one of th o se odd o cc as io n s w h e re th e a m b itions of the b an d w ere m et com pletely, and the resu lt is alm ost alw ays pleasing. “Happy, th e End ” is a song abou t w inter, and it sounds like... well, w in ter.
“Our H arry ,” an o th er ode to the d isap p e a r in g b ro th e r /f r ie n d , is like a b ack spasm — quick, in tense , yet very p e rso n al. Peris plays solo on an acoustic gu ita r, an d th e re ’s a lm ost no echo, giving the song the in tim acy on la se r th a t it had , presum ably , in P eris’ notebook.
Peris, how ever, is no t the only m em b e r of th e b an d . T he o th e r P eris , g u ita ris t Don, is responsib le for the in s tru m en ta l g re a tn e ss o f the a lbum , lay ing down chim ing electric gu ita r track s th a t
p a n ie d in h e r v e rse by d is to r te d b ass gu itar. “F ast W ay” is pow erful, how ever, the lack of varia tion tends to dim inish its overall effect.
One o f th e m o re n o ta b le h ig h lig h ts found in the firs t coup le of songs and con tinues th ro u g h the a lb u m ’s en tire ty is d r u m m e r S ta c y J o n e s ’ d e s p e r a te a t t e m p t to b r in g life to th e m u s ic th rough his use of rolls and light cym bal w ork while m ain ta in ing a heavy sound.
As is the case w ith m any new album s, th e f irs t sing le re le a se d is u sua lly the best song, w holesale m ea ts a n d fis h is no exception to this ru le as “A w ake,” the fo u rth song on th e a lb u m , p ro v id es a g lim m er of hope for w h a t is to follow. H a n le y ’s ly r ic s a r e s o l id , a s is th e accom panying m usic, in th is song abou t a rela tionsh ip gone bad. “You’re aw ake / and I’m asleep / an d w e a re so com plete th a t w ay .”
Even though “A w ake” h as a sim ilar sound w hen com pared to the re s t of the
n ev e r ju s t stick to an e ig h t-n o te scale . They tw ist and b lu r a t the fron t, w hile in th e b a c k g ro u n d th ey w h isp e r like th e m em ories haun ting K aren P eris’ lyrics.
Bassist Mike Bitts and d ru m m er Steve B row n a re alm ost carbon -cop ies o f th e S undays, w ith th e sam e v e rsa tile p e r cu ss io n a n d in tr ic a te y e t su b tle b a s s lines.
I t’s h a rd to allow o n e s e lf to b e th is taken by a band th is new , b u t hey, this is so m e th in g d if fe re n t. T h e so n g s on Glow a re poetry in the sen se th a t th e m usical quality reflects— in m ost cases exac tly— w h a t th e ly rics w a n t to say. It’s a full, rich sound, accom plished in a w ay th a t m akes th e Innocence M ission sound like salty vets, yet the sp irit an d h e a r t of the band sh ines th rough .
T h e b a la n c e b e tw e e n e m o tio n a n d c r a f t is a d e l ic a te o n e . On G low , th e In n o c e n c e M iss io n a lm o s t s t r ik e s it cleanly. It’s recom m ended lis ten ing for Sundays fans, b u t d o n ’t expect a cover b a n d . T h e y ’ve go t so m e th in g o f th e ir ow n to say , a n d a s th e “a l t e r n a t iv e ” epoch decays into a very long ad v e rtise m ent, freshness is a th ing of beau ty an d a joy to behold.

F o r tu n a te ly , th e a lb u m e n d s on a good note w ith “I Could Sleep (The W uss Song)” which is definitely ligh ter sounding and lives up to its nam e “The W uss Song.” Thankfully, Letters to Cleo had it in th e ir h e a r ts to close on a strong note.
w h o lesa le m e a ts a n d f i s h is by no m e an s as good as A u ro ra Gory A lice , bu t a t least the band did not succum b to m ark e t p ressu re and p roduce an album co n ta in in g tw elve d iffe ren t v e rsio n s of th e ir previous h it song.

C a m pu s M in istr y ...___________...C o n sid e r a t io n sWHY CONFESSION?
Heart disease continues to be a major cause of death, especially in the United States. Yet, our ability to open up the body and to keep the heart going has improved. Because of early diagnosis and proper treatment, those who have heart disease may be able to live, and live more freely.
There is a different kind of heart problem that is probably more prevalent than any other. Symptoms include self- interested ambition, abuse of others, and ignoring people in need. This hardness of heart is called sin. It is often frustrating and, if left untreated, it is deadly. The one tried and true treatment for this problem of the heart is honesty. Honesty that is followed by a commitment to love others and self usually lead a person to live more freely.
It is easy for us to say that in order to live happy and generous lives we must be honest. It is difficult to truly be honest. Admitting that we have hurt somebody and actually saying "I'm sorry is usually not done without some pain. There are various ways to be honest with ourselves and with others. It seems to me that all of them require concrete steps.
One concrete method which is offered by the Catholic Church is the sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as the Sacrament of Penance and confession.
The Catholic Church teaches that speaking honestly and actually saying "I'm sorry" to another person (in the Sacrament of Reconciliation this person is a priest) is essential for real healing and reconciliation to take place. The Catholic Church teaches that it is essential for us to hear the words "I forgive you" for real healing and reconciliation to take place.
It is the Faith of the Church that this sacrament is God's way of opening our hearts in order to heal them. It is God's way of removing the obstacles that cause our hearts to be so hard. It is God's way of allowing us to live more freely. It's God's way of lelping us to be the kind of people we really want to be, the rind of people God is calling us to be.
Many people celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation here at Notre Dame. At the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, opportunities for confession and reconciliation are at 11:15 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and at 7:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
If you're like me, deep within your heart you realize that , sometimes there are problems. If you're like me you realize that there is a difference between the way you are and the way you really want to be. Let us not leave these problems of the heart untreated. Let us accept God's invitation to live happy and generous lives.

each caugh t a touchdow n pass.T here is, how ever, no question who will
be leading C arroll's offensive attack , possibly th e m ost d a n g e ro u s of th is y e a r ’s season. Senior q u arte rb ack Tim Nelson, a first year in te rhall player, has good speed, an accu rate arm , and seem s to m ake the right decision on every play, especially the option. It doesn’t h u rt th a t he has a vast arsenal of w eapons a t his disposal, including ta ilback Jeff Kloska and fullback Joe S c h en n e r. K loska, w ho ru sh e d for tw o touchdow ns last w eek, has the speed and agility to tu rn the corner, bu t is also tough enough to run inside. Schenner com bines such linem an like size, along w ith deceptive speed, th a t he c a n 't be a rm tackled.
A lthough the V erm in defense did post a shu tou t last w eek, it m ust shore up som e h o le s fo r th is w e e k . T h ey m u s t lim it Z ahm ’s tim e of possession and get the ball back into the hands of the offense.
A m a tch u p of the top offense an d the top defense: w ho could ask for anything m ore in an early -season m atchup?
F ish er vs. A lum niA lthough A lum ni’s defense m ay not be
a s l e th a l a s Z a h m ’s, it s t i l l p o s te d a sh u to u t last week. T herefore, F isher m ust bew are . The F isher offense w as unable to put toge ther any kind of form idable drive, and will need to if they a re to have any chance of victory.
The defense, on the o ther hand , played well and kept the Zahm offense in check

by consisten tly stu ffing the ru n , b u t did give up tw o big, key p ass plays, each of w hich ended in a touchdown.
A lum ni’s offense is a th row back to the old days, w hen they played sm ash-m outh , grind-it-ou t football. Their a ttack , led by ta ilb a c k M att M am m olen ti an d a tou g h o ffen s iv e lin e , h a s no p ro b le m g e ttin g dow n a n d d irty . T hey e a t up th e clock and score w hen they have to in o rd er to w in the gam e. The defense is solid, a fact th a t w as evident in th e ir 12-0 shu tou t of Sorin.
This should be a relatively low -scoring affair, d e te rm in e d by w hose offense can m ain ta in the ball long enough to put som e points on the board .
St. E d’s vs. SorinThis gam e is sim ply one of pride. The
te a m t h a t w in s is on its w ay b a c k to respectability , while the loser sinks deeper into its hole of despair. Both of these team s a re trad itional ce llar-dw ellers, and a p p e a r to be aga in th is year. H ow ever, both show ed last w eek th a t they a re looking to reverse this trend .
St. E d’s, desp ite receiv ing th e ir eq u ip m e n t a w eek la te r th a n ev e ry o n e e lse , w as able to move the ball on a tough C arroll team .
Sorin’s defense, last w eek, displayed its toughness in the first h a lf by shu tting out Alumni. However, they w ere w orn down in the second ha lf by A lum ni’s g rind-it-out style, an d allow ed two touchdow ns. This could prove to be troub le against St. Ed’s. The lack luster offense will have to find a s p a rk o u t o f o n e of its sk ill p la y e rs in o rd er to have a chance th is week.

W oodson, the All-Pro corner- b a c k f ro m P u rd u e w h o s e r i ously in jured his rig h t knee on Sept. 3, is so hopeful of re tu rn ing th is season th a t h e ’s talked coach Bill Cowher into keeping him on the P ittsburgh S tee lers’ active roster.
C o w h e r to ld W o o d s o n h e w o u ld w a i t a t l e a s t t h r e e w eeks, un til the in ju ry can be f u r th e r a n a ly z e d , b e fo re th e S teelers m ake a final decision.
If th e S tee le rs p u t W oodson on in ju red reserve , he could not be reac tiva ted this season.
“ W e’ll see how it w orks out fo r th e te a m ,” W oodson sa id W ednesday. “ If guys d o n ’t get in ju red they can (keep him act iv a te d ) . . .. I t a l l r e a l ly d e pen d s .”

“ But, hopefully, if it goes the way I hope it will, if they m ake the playoffs w hich I th ink they w ill, I’ll be ab le to su it u p in tim e for the playoffs,” W oodson said.
W oodson is so involved in the d ia g n o s is a n d a n a ly s is o f h is injury, he even w atched as Dr. R ichard S teadm an o p era ted on the knee Sept. 11 in Vail, Colo.
W oodson w a s g iven a loca l a n e s th e tic an d w as fully a le r t a s th e o p e r a t io n w a s p e r form ed.
“ H ey , I h a v e to s e e w h a t they ’re doing in th e re ,” W oodso n sa id . “ I w a n te d to m a k e su re they w e re n ’t m ak ing any m istakes ... Yeah, i t’s in te re s ting. I w as ju s t try ing to figure out w h a t’s in th e re .”
S teadm an rep laced the d a m aged an te rio r c ruc ia te ligam ent w ith a p a t e l l a te n d o n f ro m W oodson’s righ t knee. W oodson is a lready lifting w eights to p re vent m uscle a trophy in his righ t leg a n d h o p e s to so o n b e g in jogging and rid ing a bike.
One of th e NFL’s b es t-co n d itio n ed a th le te s , W oodson is a f o r m e r w o r ld -c la s s s p r i n t e r w ho had nev e r b een se riously in ju red until this season.
“ Y o u ’r e d e p r e s s e d fo r a while. ... I felt m aybe it w asn ’t r e a l ly h a p p e n in g ,” h e s a id . “ But you have to be m en ta lly s tro n g .

W oodson, v isiting th e lo ck er room for the first tim e since his injury, p lans to re tu rn regu larly once he is off c ru tc h e s — b u t he w o n 't do any coaching of the S tee lers’ young cornerbacks. Or any cheerlead ing , either.

Nationally, 42% of all college studen ts engage in binge d rink ing— d efin e d a s five o r m ore drinks in one sitting. This find

So how should N otre Dame go abou t reduc ing the re liance on a lcoho l an d th e p re v a le n c e of b in g e d r in k in g on c a m p u s ? A ccord ing to M alloy, th e so lu tion shou ld s ta r t w ith the s tu dents, and specifically w ith s tu d e n t g o v e rn m e n t an d c a m p u s m edia.
“If s tu d e n t g o v e rn m e n t took on the issue and m ade evidence

I could have sw orn it w as in m y w allet bu t noticed it’s absence before I filled my ca r up w ith gas. Not to w orry , the w om an a t th e Amoco sta tion w as ra th e r nice abou t it. She let m e borrow h er ju m p suit, so my clothes did not get dirty w hile I w orked in the full service s ta tion for th e re s t of the afternoon in o rd er to pay off m y bill.
I d rea d ed the hassle of calling my m other, canceling my Visa, w aiting for a new card , etc., only to have my orig inal ca rd show up the following day. (Rank yet an o th er ir re sponsib le m ishap for Miss Jen Lewis.) E n raged by my own carelessness, I p ro ceed ed to go hom e and com plain to my room m ates . Could you im agine my su rp rise , as I w alked hom e from the gas sta tion to find my room m ate baw ling on the phone w ith, yes, the V isa com pany.
I envisioned a big burly m a n in a ski m ask, tip -toeing th rough my ap a rtm en t, brow sing in m y pan ty d raw er, sifting th rough my w allet, an d pocketing my Visa Gold. Yes, I felt v iolated. If th is m an iac got into o u r a p a r tm en t once, w ho w as to say he w ould not strike again? I frantically checked my belongings, no th ing else w as out of place.
I g rab b ed the phone, it w as m y tu rn to ta lk to Mr. Visa Man. He in form ed m e th a t the b an d it m ade charges a t Polo, J-Crew ,Tom m y Hilfiger, and N autica, all convenien tly located a t the M ichigan City ou tle t mall, only 30 m iles outside of cam pus.
“You m ust have know n the person ," the m a n ’s voice echoed in my head . “All th re e of your ca rd s w ere used in the sam e places."
T he vision of the big burly m an sh runk dow n to a skinny figure in p laid pan ts, styling glasses, and a je a n sh irt, w rapped tightly a ro u n d th e w aist. W hat kind of h a rd co re crim inal w ould charge 300 dollars a t the Polo ou tlet? I can not even afford socks th e re .
A fter thinking abou t it for a couple of days, 1 suddenly becam e overw helm ed w ith lau g h te r. W hat a joke? Don’t they check the sign a tu re s on the back of the ca rd s anym ore? Som ebody ju s t h ad a 3 ,000 do lla r shopping sp ree on m e and my room m ates. Not only did they s tea l my ca rd , b u t they w en t to th re e of my favorite sto res , and now, I have to m ake cookies in the d inning hall for an en tire sem ester to pay it off.
This p erson obviously h ad to be intelligent because they knew exactly w h a t they w ere doing. A fter we had rep o rted the cards sto len , the crim inal tried to charge a m eal at a n e a r by re s ta u ra n t. They m ust have had a tru stw o rth y face because the w om an gave the ca rd back to them , and said, “I’m sorry, th e re m ust be som eth ing w rong w ith the m ach ine .” I got h e r fired.
Luckily since o u r sto ries m atched we do not have to pay for th e sto len item s, we hope. I am not pointing any fingers, b u t the least they could have done w as lend m e a sh irt?

UN: Hole in ozone twice last year’s size
By CAROLYN HENSONAssociated Press________________________
GENEVAThe hole in the earth ’s
ozone layer is growing faster than ever and is already twice the size it was this time last year, the U.N. weather agency said Tuesday.
Ozone, a gas in the stratosphere, prevents harmful ultraviolet radiation from reaching the earth. Its depletion, caused in large part by industrial chemicals, is believed to increase the incidence of skin cancer and cataracts.
The hole, first observed over Antarctica in the 1980s, has reappeared each September and October since then. With the onset of w inter in the polar region, temperatures plung in the stratosphere and hasten ozone depletion.
The hole is getting bigger despite a reduction in ozone- destroying chemicals such as chlorine and bromine because these chemicals have a life of 60 to 100 years.
So far the hole has expand
ed to 3.9 million square miles— roughly the size of Europe— according to the World Meteorological Organization.
At that rate, the hole could surpass the record 24 million square miles it reached at the end of September last year, the U.N. agency said.
The accelerated spread of the hole has surprised but not alarmed experts, who predict the ozone layer will get even worse before it recovers.
“ From the end of July through August and early September ozone levels in this polar region have depleted by an average of 1 percent a day... more rapidly than ever before,” said Rumen Bojkov, special adviser on ozone to the agency.
“ Every 1 percent drop in ozone means roughly 1.3 percent to 1.5 percent more ultraviolet radiation reaching the surface," said Bojkov.
He said each 1 percent increase in ultraviolet radiation is thought to increase chances of skin cancer and eye cataracts by 2 percent.

A l c o h o l j u s t a s m a l l pI d id n ’t an ticipate strik ing a resounding
chord last w eek w hen I ta lked abou t how I felt a b o u t a lcoho l c o n su m p tio n a n d a lc o h o lism . I d id n ’t a n t ic ip a te m uch of a response and yet I received a good am ount of feedback.
So 1 th a n k a ll o f y o u w h o w ro te , c a lle d , p h o n ed a n d e -m a ile d m e how you felt and your views, regard less if we ag reed or not.
D espite w h a t som e of you th ink , the idea is not to get everybody to think like me or do as I do. The idea w as to get those of you who drink to s ta r t thinking ab o u t w h a t y o u ’re doing.
The biggest gripe I g o t w a s fro m th o s e w h o d id n ’t see anything w rong w ith the occasional gulp of the bottle or sip of th e w ine. I say “m ore pow er toyou.” ________
If th a t is w hat you ----------------------------w ish to do, then sobe it. T hat is a risk you a re taking not m e. Hey, if you can a s se r t th a t m uch self-control, God Bless you, ‘cause th e re a re th o se w ho th in k they have it, b u t h av e no su c h th in g . It is m o re th a n w hat it is.T hen th e re a re those like Dan 0 ’H are
(The O bserver, 9/12) w ho say and I quote “it’s no big dea l...w ha t goes on a t N otre D am e is no big d e a l...I t’s ju s t a b u n ch o f little k ids g e ttin g th e ir f irs t experiences w ith alcohol.
T hey w ill g e t ov er it. If th ey d o n ’t th e y ’ll d ie , o r live m is e ra b le l iv e s ...” Well, Dan, I th ink it is a big deal and I th in k you know it is, too. It a ffec ted y o u r life , a s w ell, b e c a u s e you d o n ’t d rink because of w hat happened to your friend.
I am not here to judge anyone, b u t to let people know th a t you don ’t have to drink to have fun, o r have a good tim e, o r to be accepted , o r to be happy.
CristianeLikely
A nd in th e s a m e m a n n e r you d o n ’t have to drink because you’re not having fun or you’re not having a good tim e or you’re not happy.
I’ve seen w ith my own two God-given eyes, w h a t alcohol does to n ice ca rin g people, people th a t a re my friends and fam ily. And it all com es dow n to th a t getting d ru n k is a lot m ore trouble than w hat it is w orth .I t is not th a t I am upse t abou t anything,
but one th ing th a t really pisses me off is the w hole “H ow -dare-you-judge-peo- p le -w ho-are-no t-financia lly -w ell-o ff-o r-
h a d - lo v in g - f a m i - " 1 1 lie s -o r-e v e ry th in g -
th e y -w a n te d - a n d - h a v e - a - c a r e f r e e - life-like-you.”
A n y o n e w h o k n o w s m e k n o w s th a t I am not one of th o se D om ers, if a Dom er a t all. As a s t r o n g B lac k
---------------------------- w o m a n on N o treD a m e ’s c a m p u s ,
those two situations a re not in my story, b u t th a t’s for an o th er day.
I say w h a t I say from my own experience. I see w h a t alcohol and d rugs did a n d s till a r e do ing , to n o t only N otre D am e, bu t my Black com m unities and neighborhoods. I say “m y” because of th e p e r s o n I c h o o s e to b e , i t is m y responsibility to claim them as m ine and to do som eth ing abou t it.
You see, alcohol is ju s t a sm all p a r t of it. We all should know w hat a h istory of passiv ity a n d do ing “w h a t h a s alw ays b e e n d o n e ” o r “w h a t e v e ry o n e e lse does” can do and h as done. We live in a so c ie ty w h e re e v e ry o n e w a n ts to be cool.
Everyone w an ts to have the la tes t and the g rea test, the new est and the coolest, an d w e d o n ’t ever stop to th ink abou t w hat it is w e a re doing, o r God forbid, the c o n seq u e n ces . We ju s t do, ge t in tro u b le la te r , th e n b lam e it on so m e
body else.A lo t o f tim es, m y frien d s an d I ta lk
ab o u t revolu tion an d the revo lu tionary processes. W hat has to be done? W hat sp a rk s it? W hat does it accom plish?
In class we discuss how w e as individu a ls in th is so c ie ty d o n ’t re a lly m ake d r a s t i c c h o ic e s fo r o u r s e lv e s , b u t in stead ju s t d rudge along in the flow of life and do w hat society says you should be doing.
One of my p rofessors sa id m ost o f us don ’t go to college to get educated , we go to college to get specially tra in ed so w e c a n g e t a n ic e c a r , th e b e a u tifu l spouse, the big house, the 2.5 kids, bu t a jo b th a t w e a b s o lu te ly h a te . H ighly tra in ed an d very uneducated .
Alcohol is ju s t a sm all p a r t of it. It’s a very big fish in very big pond, w ith lots of o th e r big fish. I d o n ’t buy in to the w hole G eneration X thing, bu t I do think o u r d ifferent cu ltu res a re evolving in the w rong direction.
It’s like society is a w ide s trea m th a t is f lo w in g q u ite s tro n g ly d o w n h ill a n d m ost of us a re passive ho-hum fish ju s t le tting it take u s on dow n an d th en we th ink it’s cool.
Bu t w e sh o u ld be lik e th e sa lm o n . T h e s a lm o n f ig h t t h e i r w a y up
s t r e a m to lay th e ir e g g s , w h ic h a re se ed s to th e fu tu re , in th e h o p es th a t they w o n ’t ju s t float dow n s tre a m b u t will keep th a t sp irit o f challenge in them for the nex t generation to take up.
Like M aya A ngelou w ro te “I am th e hopes and the d ream s of a slave” an d I feel like because of who I am an d who I n e e d to b e , I c a n ’t b e s l i p p in ’ a n y . B e c a u se o f w ho w e a r e a n d w ho w e need to be, and w hat w e’re up against, we ca n ’t be slippin’ e ither, and th a t’s all I’m saying.

th ink I will ever get used to these hours. My in te rn a l clock is o b s tin a te . But a t w ork, they don ’t u n d ers tan d th a t type of thing. So in o rd er to p lease them , I go by th e i r s c h e d u le a n d a r r iv e in th e office, b rig h t (NOT) and early a t 9 a.m .
It m ig h t h e lp m e g e t e n th u se d if, a t th a t early hou r, I could a t least feel good ab o u t th e w ay I looked. But they tak e ca re of th a t for m e, too; I am asked to a b id e by a d re s s code a n d , a lth o u g h re lu c ta n tly , I com ply. I su p p o se I am lucky in th a t my firm is rela tively laid- back as fa r as law firm s go, They don ’t m ind m y h a ir o r m a k e-u p ; o r a t le a s t they do no t say they do. And the w ork- clothes w hich I have found m ight not be c o n s id e re d a c c e p ta b le a t a ll firm s, as

T he m o s t im p o r ta n t th ing is w h e th e r the clien ts approve of u s because only if they approve will they re ta in us. Sell out!
A nd th e re a re tim es w h en , on th e ir schedu le and in th e ir clo thes, I canno t even say w hat is on my m ind. The people I w ork w ith a re g rea t, don ’t get me w rong; but oftentim es, they th ink differently of m e. And if a touchy issue is a t hand , I often feel th a t it is b e tte r to keep th e p e a c e w ith m y c o -w o rk e r s , w ith whom I have spen t so m uch tim e, th an to d isagree. As som eone w ho speaks up fo r civ il l ib e r t ie s a ll th e tim e s , I am a sh a m e d to en g a g e c o n s ta n tly in th is task of self-censorship - the very evil of o u r Founding F a th e rs so u g h t to g u a rd a g a in s t w h e n th e y d r a f te d th e F ir s t A m endm ent.I t certain ly ap p ears like I have given up
my in d iv id u a lity to th e sy stem . But upon a closer look, I hope th a t you will ag ree w ith m e th a t I really have not.
I w en t to law school b ec au se I have alw ays asp ired to help th e dow ntrodden and oppressed in society. T hat has not changed. I loved studying the law, and I w an t to use my know ledge to help o th ers. At the sam e tim e, I w an t to enjoy life - to express m yself freely, to w ork on a flexible schedule, and to devote a sign ifican t am o u n t of tim e to my creative side. I feel like I can achieve these tw in goals eventually , an d th a t 1 can do this b est by teaching.
But I can only p rog ress tow ard these ends if I co n tin u e to do as I am doing r ig h t now . F or one, I n eed m oney. I ow e a trem en d o u s am ount, and I m ust repay it before I can th ink abou t fu rth e r ca re e r moves. F or ano ther, I need “rea l w orld" experience. It seem s to be a p re requ isite for alm ost any so rt o f teach ing position , an d w h e th e r I like it or n o t I guess I do see th e value in it. In o ther w ords, then, I have to w ork for now, and I am su re it will be a m ore p leasan t and m eaningful experience if I do not fight it. A nd I th ink I ca n overcom e th e n e g a tives by keeping a positive a ttitu d e and by seeing my c u rre n t situation as a necessa ry s tepp ing s to n e to fu rth e r fulfillm en t - w hich, a fte r all, is w h a t it is.I n th is a r tic le , I h av e sp o k e n m a in ly

Alcohol issue requires thought, reassessment of personal usageDear Editor:I n h e r S e p t. 6 “V ie w p o in t” l e t t e r ,

Though I canno t produce any sta tistica l

Lest m y in te n tio n s be m isc o n s tru e d , I w ish to reaffirm my belief th a t alcohol is one of God’s m any good gifts.

T h re e y e a rs ago , jo u r n a l is t Kevin C oyne c a m e to N o tre D am e to se e w hat A m erica 's g rea t Catholic institu tion w as all about. W hat w as it about this place th a t m ade it so special to its alum ni and even to those who don ’t even know it’s in Ind iana? For a year Coyne s ta y e d on ca m p u s , in d u lg in g h im self in the F ighting Irish lifestyle, and aqua in ting him self with everyone f ro m U n iv e r s i ty p r e s id e n t M onk M alloy r ig h t dow n to Jim m y Z., the Oak Room staffer. W here m ost books on Notre Dame a re focused on its football legacy or its strong Catholic tra d ition, Coyne beautifully chronicles his experience un d er the Golden Dome in h is book, D om ers: A Y ear a t N otre D am e by focusing in on w h a t life is like for the Notre Dam e student.
T hroughou t Dom ers, Coyne gives little tid b its o f N otre D am e’s 150 -year h is to ry . He te lls o f F a th e r S o rin ’s founding of the school and the reign of F a th e r H e sb u rg h up to th e c u r r e n t p r e s id e n c y o f F a th e r M allo y . H is to r ic a l a c c o u n ts of th e d e v e lo p m e n t o f th e G o ld en D om e a n d th e Basilica of the Sacred H eart a re given as well as the changes m ade to m ake
the University w hat it is today, one of th e m o st w e ll-re sp e c te d in te lle c tu a l institu tions in the United States.
D om ers a lso o b jec tive ly d isc u sse s som e of the University’s m any d ilem m as. Is N otre dam e losing its Catholic Id en tity ? Is th e 87% w h ite s tu d e n t body too hom ogeneous? Coyne even ta c k le s th e GLND/SMC c o n tro v e rsy , s ta t in g b o th s id e s o f th e is su e an d allow ing re a d e rs to exam ine th e ir own o p in io n s .

But w hat m akes D om ers so special is th a t it is tru ly a b o u t N otre D am e s tu d e n ts an d its faculty . Coyne tells a b o u t so m e o f N o tre D a m e ’s m o re fam ous faculty m em bers, highlighting T. V. M orris and his radically hip style of teach ing philosophy to his freshm an s tu d e n t s . M onk M a llo y , F a th e r B o n a v en tu re Scully, an d F a th e r Joe Ross a re given am ple space as well for the ir teach ing styles and in teraction w ith the ir studen ts. Many of the s tu den ts Coyne chooses to follow around for a y e a r com e d irec tly from th ese te a c h e r s ’ c la sse s . By th is , Coyne is a b le to se e th e fu ll r a n g e o f N o tre D am e s tu d e n ts , from new ly a r r iv e d
freshm en to the sen io rs and g rad u a te s tuden ts concerned w ith life a fte r college. Coyne lis tens to cam pus m usic (U2, REM, Joy Division), frequen ts s tu den t pa rtie s (on cam pus and off), and even a ttends th e ir SYR’s and Form ats. Coyne v e n tu re s off in to S ou th B end and even notes som e of the m ore popu la r b a rs and w eekend hot spots.
D om ers sh o w s th e agony a n d th e ecstacy of the s tuden t, from the exhila r a t i o n o f w in n in g th e b ig g a m e aga inst Perm S tate to the h e a r t b re a k ing loss o f a d e a r frien d . Coyne is able to e n te r the s tu d en t body’s m ind an d p u t in to w o rd s th e m ost te n d e r aspec ts of N otre D am e, a fam ily-like s tu d en t body, a deep resp ec t for tr a d ition and a deep app recia tion for each o th e r . He viv id ly sh o w s w h a t s e ts a p a r t N otre Dame studen ts from those of o th e r college cam puses.

The London Goddess

No black taxis lu rked a round the co rner, w aiting to ru n m e down as I inevitably failed to look righ t before crossing the s tree t. L einster G ardens w as qu ie t as 1 opened the heavy door of n u m b er 33 and trudged up the s ta irs to F lat #4. The flat w as d a rk a n d e e r i ly s i l e n t a s I w a lk e d to w a r d o u r kitchen/living/dining room . I s ta re d in h o rro r a t the p iece o f lo o se -lea f n o tebook p a p e r ta p e d to th e doo r as I re a d th e w ords w hich m ad e my h e a r t le a p in to my th ro a t: SHOWER SCHEDULE. T he firs t n am e on th a t list, n ex t to the p h ra se “6:15 a .m .,” w as my own.
I silently cu rsed m yself for not ru sh ing hom e to be a p a r t of th a t T hu rsday n igh t r itua l, the m aking of the show er schedule , and I audibly cu rsed the cruelty of my flatm ates for tak ing advan tage of my ab sen ce by giving m e th e d re a d e d show er “pole position .” Why, oh why did I have to live w ith six o the r girls, and w hy did w e all have to have class on Friday m ornings?
London w as a sem ester of firsts. It w as, pain fu lly, the first tim e I had ever been allo tted a b a th room tim e - w ith seven girls sh a rin g one toilet, one sink, an d one pathetic trickle of w ate r w hich p a s s es for a show er, you’ve got to m ake som e ru les. It w as the first tim e I lived in a city, the first tim e my divine po ten tia l w as recognized (by my perpetually s le e p y a n d a la rm c lo c k -d e f ic ie n t f la tm a te , fo r w h o m I r e s e t m y a la rm e a c h m o rn in g a n d by w hom I w as rew ard ed w ith the w ords, “S arah , you a re a goddess!”), the first tim e I cooked for m ore th a n th ree people - actually , it w as the first tim e I cooked.
L ondon w as a lso a s e m e s te r o f a d ju s tm e n ts . Living in a highly racially , ethnically, an d econom ically d iverse neighborhood (w here , incidentally , I ex p e rien c ed a n o th e r f irs t, b e in g m is tak e n fo r a p ro stitu te while w earing sw ea tp an ts and carry ing g ro c e r ie s , no le ss) w a s a d is t in c t a d ju s tm e n t . Instead of getting up m inu tes before class, I had to ad ju st to com m uting to class, no easy task w hen subw ay service w as routinely in te rru p te d by m yste rious “signal failu res.” D espite the a p p a re n t lin guistic sim ilarities, I had to ad a p t to living in a foreign cu ltu re w h ere w ords an d ac tions h a d com pletely d ifferen t connotations (never use the w ord “n a p k in ” in B rita in u n le ss y o u ’re ABSOLUTELY su re of w h a t it m eans). I w as faced w ith ad justing to British professors and th e ir distinctive m a n n e r of teach ing , and, m ost im portantly , I had to ad ju st to study ing , living, ea tin g , an d s leep in g w ith 74 people w hom I bare ly knew.
In spite of all these changes, o r m ore accurately , b e c a u s e o f th e m , m y s e m e s te r in L o ndon w a s undoub ted ly my m ost rew ard in g experience as a N o tre D am e s tu d e n t.

I becam e m uch m ore independen t as the se m este r p ro g re sse d , p a r tic u la r ly follow ing my so m e tim es harrow ing bu t alw ays in te resting E uropean V acation experiences. If two of my fla tm ates an d I could successfully com plete a jou rney th rough the tin iest tow ns in W ales w h ere m ost o f the to w n speople h a d n ’t seen an A m erican since W orld W ar II, if I could com m unicate in extrem ely b ad F rench w ith two random m en in Killarney, Ire land, only to discover th a t my com panions and I had ju s t hiked s e v e ra l “k i lo m e tre s ” in th e w ro n g d ire c tio n , I could survive anything.
T here w as a distinctive feeling to th a t sem este r w hich is very difficult to rec ap tu re in South Bend, and not m erely because of the obvious geographic d iffe rences. I d o n ’t know if it w as the E u ro p e an m entality w hich rubbed off on us, o r if it w as our m ix tu re of m ajo rs and personalities, bu t my c lassm ates and I definitely becam e m ore re laxed aw ay from N otre D am e.

‘Steel Curtain’ not affected by new rulesBy ALAN ROBINSONAssociated Press
PITTSBURGHGreg Lloyd said it first — very
loudly and very em phatically — and coach Bill Cowher agrees: Nobody, no t even NFL officials, w ill d i s r u p t th e w a y th e P i t t s b u r g h S te e le r s p la y defense.
A d ju s t to th e N F L 's n ew ly s tre n g th e n e d ru le s to p ro te c t th e q u a r te rb a c k ? M aybe. But a l t e r th e b li tz in g , a t ta c k in g sty le th a t g o t th e S te e le rs to the AFC title gam e last season?
“ No, no , no, no — w e o v e rc o m e i t , " C o w h e r s a id T u esd ay , d isp lay ing th e sam e em otional passion he norm ally re se rv e s for th e s id e lin es . “ If w e g e t a p e n a lty , th e y g e t a first dow n an d we ju s t line up a n d t r y to s to p th e m th r e e m ore dow ns. But we will NOT ch an g e th e w ay w e play football."
T h e S te e le r s c a n n o t w o rry th a t officials, subconsciously or not, m ight be overly protective M onday of D olphins s ta r Dan M arino, accord ing to Lloyd.
The in trigu ing m atchup of the A FC ’s b e s t o f fe n s e (M iam i) a g a in s t i t s b e s t d e f e n s e (P it tsb u rg h ) is a l re a d y b e in g prom oted as a possible preview of the AFC cham pionship.
“ Dan M arino?" Cow her said, h is eyes w iden ing and b r ig h ten in g a t th e very m e n tio n of the nam e. “ 1 d o n ’t th ink so. I th ink the officials a re too p ro fessional for th a t.”
R e g a r d le s s , th e S te e le r s clearly have found it difficult to tone down th e ir aggressiveness to f i t th e e x p a n d e d r u le s d e s ig n e d to p r o t e c t q u a r terbacks.
T ie d fo r th e N FL le a d in p e n a ltie s (19) w ith th e Lions a n d J e t s , th e S te e le r s d re w eight defensive penalties in the second h a lf Sunday in Houston. One w as a roughing the passer ca ll on Lloyd, w ho w as fined $12,000 for a p reseaso n h it on the P ackers’ B rett Favre.
T he fine an d p en a lty h ard ly
se e m to h a v e s tif le d L lo y d ’s a t t a c k - f i r s t s ty le , j u s t a s Cowher hope they w ouldn 't.
“ 1 will try to knock (M arino) into next w eek ," Lloyd said. “ If th e o f f ic ia ls w a n t to c a ll a penalty , so be it. A re we going to go a f te r M arino? W h a t do you th ink? We a re not going to play passive defense.
“ (The league) show s all those s u p e r h i ts o f g u y s g e t t in g knocked a ro u n d an d knocked out of bounds and hit and sp in ning in the air. They show th a t to th e fans before the gam e. As soon as we do tha t, they th row a flag. T h a t’s very hypocritical. Until they get the ir ac t to g e th er, they c a n ’t say an y th in g to m e — no th ing they say to m e or any fine they levy on m e."
Lloyd’s a ttitude? If the p en a lties com e, they com e.
" D o n ’t b e s u r p r i s e d e v e ry w ee k (if) th e re a r e p e n a lt ie s g a l o r e ," h e s a id . " B e c a u s e w e’re not going to sit back and play passive defense, le t som e q u a r te r b a c k ju s t s ta n d b ac k th e re and n ev e r p u t p re s su re on h im ."
Cow her w an ts p re ssu re , and he w an ts agg ression , b u t sa id the S teelers can have both and still no t be overw helm ed w ith penalties.
" W e ’r e g o in g to p la y th e gam e the w ay we know how to play the g am e ,” he sa id . “ We a r e n o t g o in g to c h a n g e th e w ay w e p lay football. I t’s like b ask e tb a ll; if the officials a re c a l l in g h a n d - c h e c k in g , y o u have to adjust. In football, you have to be able to a d j u s t ... but we will not change the way we play football."

BEFORE TRUSTING YOUR FUTURE TO ANY COMPANY, ASK FOR
SOME LETTERS OF REFERENCE.
i
Y ou put more than just your savings into a retirement company. You put in your trust and
hopes for the future, too. So before you choose one, ask some questions. How stable is the company? How solid are its investments? How sound is its overall financial health?
A good place to start looking for answers is in the ratings of independent analysts. Four companies, all widely recognized resources for finding out how strong a financial services company really is, gave TIAA their top grade.
IN TH E FINAL ANALYSIS, TIAA IS LETTER PERFECT.
TIAA received A+ + (Superior) from A.M. Best Co., AAA from D uff & Phelps Credit Rating Co., Aaa from Moody's Investors Service and AAA from Standard & Poor’s. These ratings reflect TIAA’s stability, sound investments, claims-paying ability and overall financial strength. (These are ratings of
insurance companies only, so they do not apply to CREF.)
And TIAA-which, backed by the company's claims-paying ability, offers a guaranteed rate of return and the opportunity for dividends—is one of a handful of insurance companies nationwide that currently hold these highest marks.
CREF, FO UR M ORE LETTERS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW.
For further growth potential and diversification, there’s the CREF variable annuity, with seven different investment accounts to give you the flexibility you want as you save for the future.®
Together, TIAA and CREF form the world’s largest private retirement system based on assets under management, with over $145 billion in assets and more than 75 years of experience serving the education community. For over a million and a half people nationwide, the only letters to remember are TIAA-CREF.
Ensuring the future for those who shape it.s
