On policy, Clinton crushes Trump

Neil Joseph | Tuesday, September 20, 2016

For the last year, commentators, TV personalities and seemingly every person in America (including me) has written about the danger that Donald Trump presents. Whether it’s the things he says, the hatred he taps into, or the way he treats his peers, he’s been criticized in so many different ways. Personally, these things are disqualifying

Our ally Al-Qaida

Devon Chenelle | Tuesday, September 13, 2016

On July 28, Jabhat al-Nusra, senior partner in the amorphous coalition of rebels fighting the Syrian government, declared its split from parent organization al-Qaida. Though this initially seemed a terrible blow for al-Qaida, the split may not have been as it appeared. Tellingly, al-Nusra’s leader, Abu Mohammed al-Julani, said the move was intended to “expose

Where is the talk about sexual violence?

Letter to the Editor | Monday, April 11, 2016

Last week, the student government at Notre Dame held its third (that I know of) Sexual Violence Prayer Service of the academic year. The service is a time of lament and prayer for those within our community who have been affected by sexual violence; it is also a time of corporate repentance. I attended one

To be pro-life, dialogue is vital

Neil Joseph | Monday, April 11, 2016

Last week, Wendy Davis came to campus to talk to students about various issues. I wasn’t personally able to attend (being in London makes it difficult), but from what I read, her talk centered on women’s health. This is the issue that she is a champion of: her day long filibuster blocked the Texas Senate

Implement Good Samaritan policies at ND

Alex Caton | Friday, March 27, 2015

One night in January of my junior year, I was roped into a walkover to a dorm on the south half of campus to pick up a passed-out friend of mine. After a fragmented night of hopping dorm parties, he had wound up basically unresponsive on a futon, his head resting eight inches above a

On ‘bipartisanship’

JC Sullivan | Friday, October 3, 2014

In response to the volatile political climate of last semester, the term “bipartisanship” has played an increased role in Notre Dame’s political discourse throughout the first few months of the academic year. This idea of cooperation and communication also has a ubiquitous role in the national political conversation, a favorite phrase of near every member

Emilie Kefalas | Sunday, September 21, 2014

Students discussed legal and illegal immigration at Saint Mary’s College on Friday as part of the discussion-based Justice Friday’s series. Notre Dame senior Juan Rangel and Saint Mary’s senior Dara Marquez led the conversation, asking students and faculty to consider their familiarity with the subject of immigration.

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.
