- Significant factors in being an Irish Fan (Mike Connolly Associate Sports Editor)
Every once in a while, I begin to question why I am a Notre Dame fan. I wonder why I continue to root with all my heart for a team that is unranked and under investigation by the NCAA. I ask why I continue to defend my favorite team against its detractors.

- Government should focus on the people (Laura Antkowiak Right to Life)
The new fiscal millennium is nearly one month old. We've had no budgetary equivalent of the predicted Y2K chaos, but the problems represented by the FY2000 national budget are much more insidious. While this political battle has not failed to offer partisanship, headlines, closed-door meetings, and campaign sound bites, what it lacks is respect for the inherent dignity of human life.

Scene
- Kowalczyk and co. try to stay a-`Live' (By CHRISTOPHER SHIPLEY Scene Music Critic)

- Album Review: Temperamental by Everything But the Girl (By STUART SMITH Scene Music Critic)
