The words unspoken

Makayla Hernandez | Friday, November 11, 2022

Sometimes, I wish I could fly. Because to fly would mean to be free, and that is something my body desperately yearns for. I often dream about what freedom would taste like. Would it be a sweet nectar, smooth against my cheek? Or would it be bitter, dark and earthy — something that gets stuck

Houseless, not homeless: ‘Nomadland’

Angela Mathew | Monday, September 6, 2021

If you’re a city person like me, “Nomadland” will make you slow down. This film was showing in the Browning Cinema in DPAC this past weekend; I was lucky enough to go on a journey with Fern, “Nomadland”’s elderly protagonist (Frances McDormand). I followed Fern, dipping my toes into a stream of rushing water, taking

More than candy in your Easter basket: Justin Bieber’s ‘Freedom’

Lexi Kilcoin | Thursday, April 8, 2021

This past Easter may have been filled with unknowns, depending on if, how and where you celebrate it. But one thing no one was expecting was a gospel EP released by Justin Bieber. The “Boyfriend” singer posted a cryptic Instagram post on Easter, sending fans into a frenzy. Admittedly, I found the album while on

Let’s use words this election, not hats

Edward Brunicardi | Thursday, November 5, 2020

There is a growing problem with our democracy, and it has to do with clothes. Wearing a red cap makes you racist, wearing a mask means you support an oppressive government regime. Even wearing white can be seen as showing solidarity to the most recent political cause. As this election drags on, it seems that

Contemplating “The Goldfinch”

Serena Zacharias | Monday, August 17, 2020

My favorite book of all time is “The Goldfinch” by Donna Tartt. While I could go on about the book for ages, I’d like to focus on the painting the story centers on. “The Goldfinch” was painted in 1654 by the Dutch artist Carol Fabritius. In the same year, 32-year-old Fabritius died in a gunpowder

Regretting Rousseau

Devon Chenelle | Wednesday, August 23, 2017

It is difficult to find a better personal symbol of the ’60s, in both its aesthetic and values, than John Lennon. In his 1971 song “Imagine,” Lennon implores listeners “to imagine” there are “no countries,” “no religion” and “no possessions,” circumstances which, Lennon declares, would lead to “all the people” variously “living for today,” “living

Define your own ‘guī jŭ’

April Feng | Friday, January 22, 2016

Guī jŭ: Verb: To regulate, to limit, to straighten, to shape. Noun: Rule, good manner, limit, shape, self-control. One day when I was four years old, my kindergarten teacher walked into the classroom and announced: “Today we will learn how to sit.” She then introduced to us the concept of guī jŭ, the ability to

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.
