NDPD warns campus of scams

Observer Staff Report | Tuesday, December 17, 2019

The Notre Dame Police Department (NDPD) warned community members of two separate scams in a Tuesday email. The first involves an email inviting the receiver to participate in either a “focus group” or a “Notre Dame focus group” and includes a promise of financial compensation. “Once the participant provides some basic information, several other emails

The (lack of) reason for the season

Julianna Conley | Thursday, October 31, 2019

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. In elementary school, teachers would essentially surrender the day to us, knowing all too well that no 7-year-old could focus on fractions with the prospect of Kit Kats and jack-o’-lanterns hanging in the air. Instead, we’d test how gourds float, count the seeds left over from

A house lit from the inside

Gabriel Niforatos | Tuesday, December 4, 2018

If I had to sum up a theme that links all of my articles for The Observer this semester, I would sum it up in one word — change. This article is not meant to provide the casual reader with solutions to overhaul the problems and divisions in the political, economic and social spheres. Rather,

Joy to all

Letter to the Editor | Monday, December 7, 2015

As winter draws closer, once again public discourse in this country turns in part toward what some call the War on Christmas. As a Jew and as an atheist reflecting on what I see, hear and feel, I have some humble thoughts I’d like to share, especially with my many Christian friends. I like this

How to not get sick

Erin Thomassen | Tuesday, December 2, 2014

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for preschoolers, snowplows and that one person who actually looks good in red and green. It’s also the most wonderful time of the year for germs. The last time I interviewed a batch of bacteria, they said they couldn’t imagine a better time of year than the

It’s Christmas!

Kitty Baker | Tuesday, December 2, 2014

Yesterday, Dec. 1, marked the end of my three-week totalitarian reign over Christmas music. My roommate is now completely free to listen to as much Christmas music as she likes in my presence. I have protected the sanctity of Thanksgiving and am now quite happy to move on to snow and twinkling lights and the wreath

Don’t do it: what not to buy this holiday season

Allie Tollaksen | Monday, December 1, 2014

While we in Scene and at every other publication in the country are busy gathering together a “favorite things” list or handy shopping guides for the holiday season, I’ve decided to go another route. Rather than tell you all the things you need to buy, I’m here to tell you the things to avoid amidst the

Thanks a ton: A non-edible guide to Thanksgiving

Emilie Kefalas | Monday, November 24, 2014

I might be biased because I was born in the fall, but the transition from autumn to winter holidays is on top as my favorite stage of the year. It’s like ordering bottomless pancakes with each one more delicious and mouth-watering than the next. We’ve checked the box on Halloween, and now, in the eloquent

Isn’t this a little early?

Mike Ginocchio | Thursday, November 6, 2014

There was a moment, nary a few weeks ago, where I witnessed something that nearly broke my poor little brain. It was during fall break and I was with my dad shopping for home repair equipment at Home Depot, my dad’s version of Toys R Us. The door opened and I was greeted with a
