The midterm election: Voters turn against extremism 

Notre Dame Write to Vote | Friday, November 18, 2022

The midterm election occurred on November 8, 2022 with surprising outcomes. A midterm is supposed to be the time that the opposing party can make up ground for the next Presidential election, in this case a “Red Wave”, but that is not what happened.  Voters rejected antidemocratic and autocratic candidates this election by denouncing many

After news about the shooting in Uvalde, Texas, Hank Milius picked up his wife, a retired fourth-grade teacher, from the airport. He could tell that she had not yet heard the news and made sure that they did not listen to the radio or watch TV. He wanted to give her “one night of blissful

Liam Price | Friday, November 4, 2022

As election day draws nearer, non-local Notre Dame students are sending mail-in ballots back home to cast their vote, many for the first time.

On tearing down the ballot wall

The Observer | Thursday, October 13, 2022

“For the 1st time ever … I VOTED!” A message sent to my family group chat on November 3, 2020 at 7:12 a.m. My mother had just left her regular 12-hour graveyard shift at the police dispatch. While most people would be hauling it to sleep after clocking out, she was among the first in

‘The ballot is stronger than the bullet’

Notre Dame Write to Vote | Thursday, September 29, 2022

“The ballot is stronger than the bullet.” And coming from Abraham Lincoln, that must really mean something. All jokes aside, ballots stitch our democracy together. Without them, the power of leaders would go unchecked, public interests would be sacrificed for personal gain and the government of the people, by the people, for the people would

Religion is for Democrats too, not just Republicans

Blake Ziegler | Thursday, September 22, 2022

You wouldn’t be alone in associating religion with the Republican Party and secularism with the Democratic Party.

Today, that sentiment is only reinforced as

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.
