Not Asian enough

Megumi Tamura | Thursday, September 28, 2023

I don’t like the way my real name — Megumi — sounds in English. When it’s said in English, the “u” sound is emphasized too much (“Meg-ooo-mi”), so it sounds different from the smooth and natural way my name rolls off the tongue when it’s said in Japanese. That’s why I go by Meg. It’s

South Dining Hall: Doing it right since 1927

Allison Elshoff | Wednesday, September 27, 2023

The start of the school year came with some new additions to the South Dining Hall experience. Between “late lunch,” the mini to-go coffee cups and the new ice cream topping dispensers, it’s honestly hard to keep up. Luckily, there are certain things within the sacred walls of SDH that never change. Here is a guide

Saint Mary’s revives humanistic studies club after pandemic hiatus

Sally Bradshaw | Monday, September 4, 2023

One group of Saint Mary’s students have answered Shakespeare’s question, “To be or not to be?” with a resounding “yes.” The Humanistic Studies (HUST) Club is back after struggling to find its footing since the pandemic. According to humanistic studies professor Laura Williamson, the club has “waxed and waned” based on engagement and interest from

Starting fresh: A guide to arts and culture at Notre Dame

Anna Falk | Friday, August 18, 2023

Although summer vacation has felt far too short to be over, it’s that time of year for classes to begin and usual campus activities to resume. Though classes and football will fill up most students’ free time, you may find space in your busy schedule for extracurriculars. However, the sheer number of clubs and organizations

You look great in that bikini

Reyna Lim | Wednesday, March 22, 2023

When we are photographed, who do we pose for?  A short while ago, in a lecture for an elective course, I was admittedly close to drifting into the haze of my midafternoon drowsiness when I was startled into reality by a comment made in class discussion. The topic was swimsuit photos on Instagram — deciphering

The South is not a lost cause. I am not a lost cause.

BridgeND | Wednesday, March 22, 2023

Whether or not it is wholly acknowledged, identity plays an integral role in our interactions with both society and ourselves. Seeking to ascribe definite messages to the intangible aspects of personhood and identity cannot be ignored; it must be reckoned with. However, the manner in which this internal and external recognition is accomplished is not

Stop South Bend slander

Gracie Eppler | Thursday, March 2, 2023

Corn, soy, cows, semi-trucks. Corn, soy… oh, and occasionally, more corn.  This describes the grey and unstimulating drive across America’s heartlands that I took this weekend as I made the trek from South Bend down to Urbana-Champaign to visit a friend. Flat, dry and littered with the occasional gas-station-McDonald’s crossover, the drive made me reaffirm

Invisible string

Reyna Lim | Thursday, February 23, 2023

Jeong is cosmic. Jeong is a silhouette. Jeong is an enchantress who follows us, just as much as we follow her — trust in her to guide us, protect us, comfort us.  Jeong is my favorite Korean word, and it’s the one term for which I can never manage to pinpoint an English translation.  I

‘Asian Allure’ cultural showcase celebrates finding community

Claire Reid | Friday, November 11, 2022

Growing up in the Philippines, junior Liyanna Baloca said she never labeled herself as “Asian.” “I grew up around Filipinos my whole life,” she recalled. “Being Asian wasn’t something I felt I had to label myself as because it was just normal.” Then, she said, she arrived at Notre Dame and was suddenly no longer

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.
