The campus that cries wolf

Mark Gianfalla | Wednesday, April 9, 2014

Much like the United States itself, Notre Dame is a dynamic melting pot where people of varying backgrounds connect to offer insight into various cultures and ideologies. Also not unique to Notre Dame is its students’ tendency to cry wolf all too often in response to campus activism. It is no secret that the College

Notre Dame, Inc.

Mark Gianfalla | Tuesday, March 25, 2014

A large amount of recent attention has been devoted to the comparison of universities to businesses, and the realigning of many universities’ mission statements towards that of for-profit companies. Notre Dame is a truly unique place where faith and academia meet to blossom into our home under the dome. Having heard Fr. Jenkins speak on

A Republican stance on immigration

Mark Gianfalla | Thursday, March 6, 2014

It’s not often Republicans can speak about immigration reform without being called racist or anti-immigrant, but recently, House Republicans laid out their ideals of what immigration reform should look like, and in honor of the immigration programming on campus this week, I will make you all informed as to our position.

The left’s intolerant ‘tolerance’

Mark Gianfalla | Tuesday, February 18, 2014

Believe in the sanctity of traditional heterosexual

Her Campus took off this year on the Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s campuses. It is a website where female authors contribute content that mainly serves to inform and entertain a female audience. The article links are spread all over social media, and I often take a gander at the articles. Recently, I read one

Where has accountability gone?

Mark Gianfalla | Tuesday, January 21, 2014

Over break, we were all given a glimpse of something so rare these days that it could be compared to a solar eclipse. What am I speaking so reverently about? Accountability. I will be the first to admit that New Jersey  Gov. Chris Christie is not my favorite Republican, but I have to commend him

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
