Fuel for the porn filter fire

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, November 7, 2018

“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. As the student who re-started the porn filtering conversation in the fall of 2016, I write in response to the author of the wittily-titled op-ed on the subject, “Give me Pornhub or give me death,” to

Why the porn filter won’t work

Letter to the Editor | Monday, October 29, 2018

Today I found out, to my shock, that I am not one of the “men of Notre Dame.” This is because I cannot, in good conscience, sign the petition to put a porn filter on Notre Dame’s Wi-Fi. The reason I won’t sign the petition is not because I am an advocate for “affront[s] to

Response to ‘The men of ND request a porn filter’

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, October 25, 2018

I completely agree with “the men of Notre Dame” about the dangers of pornography. But I cannot sign their petition, because imposing the campus-wide filter they propose would cause more problems than it would solve. First, there is the problem of defining when something is pornographic, the issue the Supreme Court wrestled with in Jacobellis

The men of Notre Dame request a porn filter

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, October 23, 2018

As the men of Notre Dame, we request that the University implement a filter to make pornography inaccessible on the Notre Dame Wi-Fi networks. This filter would send the unequivocal message that pornography is an affront to human rights and catastrophic to individuals and relationships. We are calling for this action in order to stand

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.
