Inside
- This season was for Larry (Tim Casey Assistant Sports Editor)
In a state currently enamored with the New York Football Giants, Long Island native Jim Baumbach pledged his allegiances this past season to the J-E-T-S. And thanks to a gracious long-time Jets season ticket holder, Baumbach's memories may surpass those of the fans of the 2001 Super Bowl runner-ups.
Viewpoint
- Thanks for nothing, Clinton (Mike Marchand Questionable Freedoms 2000)
To those of you who constantly felt that William Jefferson Clinton was the dogged victim of a "vast right-wing conspiracy," the events of Slick Willy's final days in office should serve as a wake-up call. They come as no surprise to those of us who already knew he was a moral bottom-feeder.
- Overwhelmed by technology trends (Anna Barbour Get a Life)
Well, two Y2Ks are over and done without apocalyptic mayhem. But is the entire new millennium destined to pass by as smoothly? I was really expecting a change of the social order a couple weeks ago, you know? I was ready. I wanted to find some ranch land, bring to it some horses and cattle, be a rancher; no big thing, just start livin' an American dream. An impossible dream, I know. Now.

- Clubs that really move Scene writer Scott Little takes a look at Notre Dame's lesser known University-sponsored sports clubs (By SCOTT LITTLE Scene Writer)
Here you are at school. It is a lot like a play-dough factory. In you go, a brightly colored blob, and then out you come in a fun shape like stars or spaghetti. The athletic clubs of Notre Dame allow students and professors to reach that next level in their livelihoods by rounding their buttockses and molding their attitudes with the hopes of squeezing out a better-formed person. Here are just a few of the options that you may have overlooked at activities night, but could add the extra dimension to your life that you have been looking for:
- Spain offers student an indescribable experience (Jacqueline Ostrowski Scene Writer)
I bought a CD in Spain that reminds me, with simply its opening chords, how I feel about the country. Now, when I struggle to find the words to answer the often-repeated question, "So, how was Spain?" I think of the music and, in an instant, I'm hurtling through six time zones and over an expanse of ocean, beyond the invisible language barrier and into the depths of my memories. Overwhelmed by the melodies and the recollections they bring, I return to Toledo, my home for the three and a half months of Fall semester 2000.
