Tackling abortion

Vince Mallett | Thursday, April 2, 2020

I have to be upfront about one thing: I don’t have anything to contribute to the coronavirus conversation. My colleagues and others have done a wonderful job covering the virus, its effects on the tri-campus community and the challenges (and joys!) of living at home amidst the pandemic.  Instead, I’ve decided to make my column this week

Scene in South Bend: The Brain Lair Bookstore

Hanna Kennedy | Tuesday, November 5, 2019

The Brain Lair. It’s an anagram for librarian and a fitting name for Kathy Burnette’s bookstore, located just five minutes from campus.

The patron saint of campus debate?

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, October 9, 2019

In the recent flurry of viewpoints, lectures and signage displays, it seems that world- and nation-wide controversies are playing out at Notre Dame in a spicier way than usual.  I am not some sage alum who has achieved enlightenment and views campus controversies from 40,000 feet. But here are a few noncontroversial truths:  1. American

Observer Editorial: Time to debate Cosby’s degree

Observer Editorial Board | Friday, February 19, 2016

In May, about 2,000 undergraduate students will process into Notre Dame Stadium and receive their diplomas. A handful of others — leaders in their fields and communities — will receive honorary degrees alongside them. Bill Cosby was one of 12 individuals awarded an honorary degree at the University’s commencement ceremony almost 26 years ago. The

Double or nothing

Katherine Smart | Monday, January 25, 2016

Everyone can agree that no two individuals have identical personalities or life experiences. Just think of all the unique people you have met at this one University. There are bizarre combinations of academics, athletes, musicians, artist, activists and entrepreneurs. Even the “Katies from a suburb of Chicago” can have completely different interests or ideologies. With

Religion and violence

Charlie Ducey | Sunday, February 15, 2015

As is tradition, the Oriel College Whately debating society convened on Monday evening to discuss contemporary controversies over red wine and the odd cookie-cracker hybrids that the Brits call “biscuits.” The motion for debate last week: the world would be a safer place without religion.
