Viewpoint
- Captured by preseason optimism (Scott Blaszak The Early Essays)
Five-straight losses to close a football season at Notre Dame and the off-season assumes an ominous posture. Rumors of an imminent coaching change, player transfers, less than flattering media attention. ("What has happened to Notre Dame football?" read a story in Sports Illustrated earlier this year) all have driven Bob Davie and company under wraps. Progress, if it has been made, has been cloaked. Practices have been closed to the media and with such unceasing talk of Davie's precarious job security, you get the impression he'd close the first five games to the media if he could.

I've also enjoyed many great times as a spectator and fan for most of the other sports at Notre Dame. I have been impressed on many occasions with the spirit and enthusiasm generated by the student body, particularly as fans for our football, basketball and hockey teams. I have often wondered how that spirit and enthusiasm might be generated for volleyball as well as many of the other sports.

- Continue to encourage debt relief (Ken Seifert sophomore, Stanford Hall)
The year 2000 is half over, three million more innocent children have died and the debt continues to mount.
