I fell into The Observer freshman year after hearing of a friend who worked for them and got paid to go to the Florida State game to take photos. This sounded too cool to be true. I decided to meagerly reach out and apply for a position in the photo department, hoping that my hobby since

As a resident on South Quad, I undeniably pledge my loyalty to the superior dining hall, SDH. I went to NDH for dinner to see it after the renovation this year, and I could barely eat without the wave of guilt washing over me for cheating on SDH. Needless to say, with the Hogwarts-style dining

One thing people love about Notre Dame is the tradition. When prospective students come to campus for tours, they are often told that there is a campus-wide debate between the two dining hall options on campus: North and South.

One determinant of quality journalism is timeliness. This column is not particularly timely, but it does address what I believe to be a tragic decision on the part of Notre Dame: the decision to take away the waffle makers. Starting this year, South Dining Hall no longer serves waffles past breakfast. According to the signage

South Dining Hall was evacuated and the start of dinner delayed Sunday afternoon due to a small fire in the serving area, dining hall staff said. Dining hall manager Dennis Smith said the open flame was not big enough to trip the fire alarms, but it was close enough to an oil spray can to risk a

If South Dining Hall was ever serving Carl’s chicken as the special, John Ritschard made sure the students knew. He’d swipe their ID cards, give them a smile and tell a joke. Then he’d suggest a meal for them to try. “He was a walking, talking menu,” his wife, Lila Ritschard, said. John died Sunday

True to its word, the movement of the trays in the dining hall is nothing more than inconvenient. I have a new choice: a trifle waste of time to resume my old habits of carrying a tray, or a free chance to grow into a more socially conscious person. On paper, it seems like a

At about 10:30 a.m. Thursday, a small fire in the chimney of Reckers Cafe caused an approximately hour-long evacuation of South Dining Hall. At the scene, University spokesperson Dennis Brown said there were no injuries and no damage to the dining hall building, though there may be some damage to the restaurant’s pizza oven. “There was a
