From the Archives: Forgotten fidos of the Fighting Irish

Spencer Kelly | Friday, September 16, 2022

From the Archives previously explored the origins of the “Fighting Irish” nickname. Today, this name is represented by, and synonymous with, the leprechaun. Whether it be the iconic fighting leprechaun logo or the student mascot leaping around at football games, leprechauns have come to embody the Notre Dame spirit. However, from the 1930s through the

Quiet quarantine contemplations

Genevieve Coleman | Wednesday, March 24, 2021

As I was writing this column, my mind kept drifting back to one of the most profound and highly contentious debates I have ever participated in through my more than 14 years of Catholic schooling: whether pets go to Heaven. As a 19-year-old who considers herself somewhat educated, I can now comprehend the theological foundations

Saint Mary’s faculty and staff discuss Dulce, Moe, Napoleon, Bella, Boomer and RBG: the dogs who bring loyalty and love to campus

Marirose Osborne | Tuesday, November 19, 2019

College life can be stressful. However, there are ways to turn a rough time into a ruff time with the various dogs who come to Saint Mary’s to hang out on campus. The Saint Mary’s costume shop is often full of dogs. Melissa Bialko, a professional specialist in costume design theatre, has eight dogs. Frequent

‘They didn’t expect to see a dog there’: band remembers ‘unofficial mascot,’ Edwin

Maria Leontaras | Friday, November 1, 2019

The beginning of the story is a simple one.  In 2007, assistant band director Sam Sanchez made his way to San Antonio to adopt a rescue dog. While Sanchez was playing with one, another dog attempted to snag his attention. The then-2-and-a-half-year-old dog’s pursuits proved successful, and Sanchez made his way back to Indiana with

Sigrid Nunez’s ‘The Friend’: the role of the woofer in psychoanalysis

Mike Donovan | Thursday, January 17, 2019

Four individuals, conservatively dressed, stand in a field. Smile-stained faces suggest a recent bout of gallivanting. The cliff to their right, rising out of the Atlantic, punctuates the idyllic scene, full stop. “Throbbing Gristle brings you,” the text above the image reads, “20 Jazz Funk Greats.” The commune-turned-school-of-sonic-anarchy known as “Throbbing Gristle” selected this unassuming

The only thing my dog was practically good for was replacing our broken doorbell. For as long as I can remember, growing up in my house meant missing visitors, because our doorbell never worked, and for some reason no one fixed it. It was not uncommon to be alerted of someone’s presence by a phone

Out of the wild

Matthew Williams | Thursday, February 2, 2017

The process of domestication is one of the coolest things our ancestors figured out how to do. Starting around 13,000 years ago, they began selectively breeding crops for traits that were beneficial to humans. Around 2,000 years later, they figured out how to do the same thing with animals, directing the evolution of a species

Nora McGreevy | Thursday, November 10, 2016

From about first to seventh grade, I possessed a paralyzing fear of dogs. The feeling doesn’t lend itself easily to description, unless you’ve also experienced a phobia of some kind — in which case, I’m sorry, and you also might have better words for this than I do. A dog wasn’t a dog. It was

Maddy Del Medico | Wednesday, November 11, 2015

The University’s Student Union Board (SUB) held its annual “Dogs and Donuts” event on North Quad yesterday.

A dog: the greatest trade you can make

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, November 12, 2014

For anyone who has never had a dog — you wouldn’t understand this. I have grown up with dogs my entire life. My parents even say I learned how to walk by holding on to one of our dogs. Thanksgiving break will be different for me. This will be the first time in my 20 years

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.

On Wednesday, Notre Dame students will take to the On Wednesday, Notre Dame students will take to the polls and elect their new student body president. A glance at the ballot suggests that this year’s candidates all appear to be human and pro-democracy. This observation may seem obvious or nonsensical, but a look back at the history of SBP elections shows that pro-democracy ideals or even personhood are not characteristic of all candidates.
