Anne Frank’s words of wisdom

Sarah Kikel | Thursday, August 13, 2020

As college students who were used to daily freedom and spontaneity, suddenly being forced to return home due to COVID-19 was a difficult adjustment for us. Feeling disheartened by the unexpected changes, I turned to Anne Frank’s “Diary of a Young Girl,” hoping to be comforted by her ability to embrace life in hiding, during

Summer’s over and Whitney’s ‘Forever Turned Around’

Mike Donovan | Tuesday, September 3, 2019

Whitney’s debut, “Light Upon the Lake,” shone over a midsummer breakup, illuminating, albeit weakly, the lifeless reflection of a lost relationship. “How cheap were the nights you used to keep me warm,” drummer-vocalist Julien Ehrlich questioned while he dipped his toes in the water and watched the reflection ripple. No one answered. Ehrlich was left in the cold — “awake in all kinds of darkness” — miming the reluctant

Springtime is sweeping through South Bend (sort of) but, with summertime on the horizon, the spring will soon be swept away. That’s okay with us. We have our sunglasses, plenty of sunscreen and a few things we’re really excited about for after school lets out.   Hip-hop’s stars come out By Ryan Israel, Associate Scene

Do it for the jokes

Colleen Fischer | Wednesday, October 3, 2018

“For Narnia!” Peter screamed this as he attacked the White Witch in Narnia. These are the sort of moments that create battle cries. Cries that motivate armies and encourage sacrifice. Moments of great adversary, and great bravery. Moments of battlefields and fairytales. My moment was far from this. I worked at an overnight summer camp

Puzzling summer

Lucy Collins | Friday, September 14, 2018

“I have measured my life in coffee spoons.” — T.S. Eliot Much as Eliot felt the need to verbalize his frustration with his place in the universe through the minute lens in which his anxious protagonist was forced to view his own life, I would like to try and summarize MY recent experience with the

A listening turtle

Nora McGreevy | Wednesday, August 22, 2018

I was sitting near the edge of the dock, dipping my toes tentatively into the warm lake water, when a dinosaur appeared. A mossy rock came to life, the massive creature — maybe a yard or so long from tail to beak, a size that would increase with every retelling of the event — swam up

Mike Donovan, Nora McGreevy, Hanna Kennedy and Ryan Israel | Tuesday, May 1, 2018

In mere days, you’ll crawl out of your hole, shower, wash your clothes and open your eyes wide for the first time in months. It burns! The sun! Pain! Society! All that jazz. Jazz! Then, you’ll realize. It’s summer! Oh no. It’s summer. Shhh. There there. Tuck away your worries. You don’t have to spend

Escape with George Ezra’s ‘Staying at Tamara’s’

Hanna Kennedy | Tuesday, April 10, 2018

After the release of his first studio album in 2014, George Ezra jetted off to Barcelona to craft his follow-up. Forgoing glamorous hotels and glitzy lodgings, Ezra found his inspiration renting an Airbnb from the Tamara of the album’s title. The album, “Staying at Tamara’s,” embraces the warm, relaxed feeling of summer travel lending every

“So we talked about abortion and marriage and re “So we talked about abortion and marriage and religious freedom, and I don’t know how we could not talk about it. I mean, we have to be authentic teachers. We’re not going to be silent about the truths that we hold dear.”

Joseph R. Biden has become the second Catholic President in United States history, but his position on abortion is “one that cannot be condoned” according to Rev. Robert Dowd. 

“Other bishops think that, because he’s a conscientious Catholic whose faith is obviously important to him, we should strike a more positive tone, particularly at the outset of his presidency. After all, in many ways Biden’s positions are more in line with Catholic teaching than Trump’s, particularly when it comes to migrants, refugees, climate issues, poverty and inequality,” Dowd continued.
