School spirit does wonders
Thomas O. Misch
Northbrook, Illinois


   Congratulations! Seriously. Oklahoma, Arizona State, USC — three victories and three terrific examples of what the ND student body is all about. Very impressive.

I chastised many of you in a letter following the MSU game. For whatever reasons, your behavior during and after that game may have been a one time abberation. Let's hope so. In any event, I (as well as other alums) am once again impressed by what seems to be genuine and sincere support of the team members by their fellow students.

Right through the final notes of the "Hike Song." And especially at the beginning of the second half of the USC game when things looked really bleak; and particularly from what looked to be the freshman class. I, for one, believe that spirit made a big difference in the outcome. Keep it up.
