Trust is key to productive SMC dialogue

Letter to the Editor | Monday, April 24, 2023

This week, conversations about Saint Mary’s Catholic identity have been occurring in response to two letters. One recently summarized in The Observer argues that Saint Mary’s has decided to “cater to popular culture and celebrate secular values,” over fidelity to our Catholic identity. The other, published in response, argues that our priorities at Saint Mary’s

Thank you social justice volunteers

lettertotheeditor | Friday, January 27, 2023

The University of Notre Dame does an excellent job of reminding us how important it is to reach out to “the least of our brethren” and practice social justice as part of our daily lives. There is the Center for Social Concerns on campus that does an excellent job clarifying this for us. One of

‘Endlich daheim’: Finally home

lettertotheeditor | Friday, December 2, 2022

These words were tattooed on my high school math teacher’s forearm — to serve as a dual reminder of the time he spent living in Germany, but also to be thankful for his return to his personal home in the United States. For many Notre Dame students, in an adjacent way, the acceptance letter serves

College Republicans’ response to the College Democrats’ Letter to the Editor

lettertotheeditor | Friday, November 18, 2022

This week, the College Democrats published a Letter to the Editor accusing our club of promoting “racist, transphobic, and antisemitic rhetoric” in the 2022 midterm debate that took place on Wednesday, Nov. 2. They call for our debater’s remarks to be formally condemned by the University administration and to require our officer corps to face

Hate has no place here

lettertotheeditor | Wednesday, November 16, 2022

Last Wednesday, BridgeND hosted a debate between the College Democrats and College Republicans. What was intended to be an educational conversation and a model for civil discourse instead spiraled into a display of racist, transphobic and antisemitic rhetoric from the College Republicans’ representative. We believe that the College Republicans must be held accountable for their

Let’s put labor back in Labor Day

lettertotheeditor | Friday, September 2, 2022

Let’s focus on labor this Labor Day. Let’s not forget the heroism of American workers in the past, who by banding together won victories that we take for granted, such as the eight-hour workday, the 40-hour workweek, the end of child labor and salaries sufficient to support their families.  After declining for decades, the labor movement in

In response to “Against Mendoza”: Gotcha journalism has no place under the dome

Letter to the Editor | Friday, April 1, 2022

My name is Stephen Viz, and I write my response to Jim Moster’s piece with a background that mirrors his quite well. A current Master of Science in Management student here at the Mendoza College of Business, I graduated from Holy Cross College last May with a BA in Liberal Studies, which was a program

Honorable business: A response to Mendoza critiques

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, March 29, 2022

As the Mendoza College of Business marks its centennial anniversary, many both inside and outside of the College question the role the institution plays in both the University and the global community. Does Mendoza indeed “Grow the Good in Business,” or does it encourage profit-mongering individuals who prioritize self-interest at the expense of all conscionable,

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.
