The spirited rendition of the Notre Dame fight song that echoed out of the men's soccer team after their match-up with Eastern Michigan signified one thing — the end of a costly scoring drought.

"Enough is enough and its time for a change," blared the music every time the late professional wrestler Owen Hart made his entrance to the ring. Curiously, this is the only quote that came to mind when I sat down to the computer and read ESPN's report about Tennessee's new-found academic fraud scandal.

Viewpoint
- CSC Welcomes Institute for Latino Studies (Center for Social Concerns )
In the not-too-distant future, the composition and complexion of the American society will be shaped heavily by demographic changes underway today. By the year 2004, Latinos will be the largest minority group in the United States. Globalization processes will "internationalize" much of domestic life in ways that are really impossible to image even as early as the end of the first decade of the new millennium. Inter-hemispheric affairs will affect the quality of American life on a daily basis.
- Don't let eating disorders destroy your life (Letter to the editor )
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the author of the letter to the editor published on Sept. 27, entitled "ND Needs To Hear Silent Screams of Eating Disorders." When this title captured my attention, I was overwhelmed with relief. It is long overdue.
- Students should respect the little 24-hour space we have (Letter to the editor )
"Students need more 24-hour social space." Every student at least once during their college career at Notre Dame has shared this idea. As true as the need may be, a small percentage of immature students impede the realization of this goal.
- Catholicism and the free-market economy can be compatible (Letter to the editor )
I read Professor Todd Whitmore's occasional pieces in The Observer with interest and find they raise many points worth addressing further. On a couple of occasions he has discussed the gap between the rich and the poor the attitude of the Catholic Church and Pope John Paul II toward the gap. He has seemed to suggest a rather extreme position, which I wonder if he really wishes to attribute to the Church or to hold to himself. His Sept. 17 piece, in particular, seems to disparage the focus on improving the lot of the least well off, a focus I believe adopted in the work of philosopher John Rawls.

- Judd and Jones find 'Double' trouble (By CHRISTINE KRALY Scene Movie Critic)
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. That scorn is what makes "Double Jeopardy" hell to watch.
- Things are OK in 'Mumford' (By V. VAN BUREN GILES Scene Movie Critic)
"Mumford." Well, that sounds like an odd name. Any film with a name this crazy has got to be good, right? Here's the kicker: It is a great movie. With production companies coming up with crazy names for movies just to fill theaters — like the Edward Furlong disaster, "Pecker" — people are finding out that the off-beat name is not always a winner.
- Video Pick of the Week (By MATT NANIA Scene Movie Critic)
"Taxi Driver" is, simply put, a landmark film. It is a brilliant, ruthless movie with a haunting portrayal of urban life, and is arguably one of the best movies ever made. Gaining more and more respect as an important film in American cinema, "Taxi Driver" was recently named No. 47 on the American Film Institute's 100 most important American films of the 20th century. It is an undeniably brilliant, nightmarish portrait of one man's personal hell.
