With limited hours at the dining hall and less on-campus dining options during the campus shutdown and due to the pandemic, Notre Dame students are pivoting to ordering takeout from on-campus retail locations.

Even though it’s only the start of December, the first “War on Christmas” controversy has already infected my Facebook page. This particular battle is over Starbucks’ decision to remove Christmas decorations from their red holiday cups. The gravity both sides of the argument are putting on this issue is pure insanity and the very definition

I noticed something different this morning as I walked across South Quad. For the first time this semester, the breeze in the air was unmistakably fall. Although fall technically began on September 22, the shorter days and changing colors are just starting to reach Notre Dame. Some people on campus (especially those in dorms that lack

The Starbucks in LaFortune Hall has competition — it is no longer the only one in the immediate area for Notre Dame students after a new Starbucks officially opened on Eddy Street on Thursday morning. Store manager Lindsay Egilmez said it is a place for students to gather and enjoy each other’s company. “[The store] is for football
