- MEN'S BASKETBALL: A glimpse of the future Promising Thomas takes court for first time in college (ANDREW SOUKUP Associate Sports Editor)
He's quiet, but doesn't hide his excitement. He's reserved, but knows his talent. And he's anxious, but at the same time, radiates confidence.
- FOOTBALL: Making a name for himself J.W. Jordan emerges as a (MIKE CONNOLLY Sports Writer)
Before Irish fifth-year guard J.W. Jordan even stepped on campus, his name was already well-known. His father, John Jordan II, is a member of the Board of Trustees and an influential donor.

Viewpoint
- Sept. 11: a Catholic perspective (Todd David Whitmore The Common Good)
The attacks on Sept. 11 have raised a wide range of questions. One is "What difference does a Catholic perspective make?" There are a number of differences as well, and it is worth indicating some of them.
- Quote of the Day (Martin Luther King, Jr. civil rights leader)
"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time;
- Stalking football players is all about love (Marlayna Soenneker Here We Go Again)
I've never been one of those girls who fixates on athletes. I'd say the closest I've ever come was a reasonably strong desire to meet Joey Getherall last year because I was so amused by the fact that he was 5-foot-8 or something and played college football. I'm 5-foot-1, so I have a special place in my heart for short guys.
- One issue is sufficient (Benjamin Thomas Remmert class of '00)
Let me get this straight — because children are starving, usually because of wars and vicious regimes about which the average man, especially in another country, can do nothing, and non-O.J. murderers are executed, ostensibly for public safety, though I agree that argument is less and less valid by the day, then the rest of us have no right to proclaim the humanity — and the right not to be brutally destroyed — of unborn children?
- Rethink policy on sexual assault accusations (Andrew Oxenreiter junior)
Notre Dame, which until recently I have always been nothing but proud to be affiliated with, should rethink its policies on dealing with cases of sexual assault for the benefit of all students, regardless of gender.

Scene
- Jack the Ripper goes to `Hell' (By JUDE SEYMOUR Scene Movie Critic)
"From Hell," the latest film to deal with the murders committed by Jack the Ripper, is based on a detailed comic book written by Alan Moore that reads as a revisionist history of the famous East End strangler. Moore saw himself as an artist rather than a historian, consequently taking historical fact and blending it with fictions of the imagination to concoct a new identity for the killer.
- Old-timers clash in the `Castle' (By CHRIS SIKORSKI Scene Movie Critic)
"You look at any castle, and it has four things: location, walls, garrison and a flag. The difference between most castles and this one is that most are built to keep people out; this one keeps people in."
- Psychobabble with a side of Spacey (By JOHN DONNELLY Scene Movie Critic)
"K-PAX" treads water. It has some ambition, but hits too many false notes. The film doesn't stir the viewer's emotions, it only slightly nudges them. "K-PAX" is a nice movie, but forgotten as one leaves the theater.
- Comic `World' of teenage angst (By MATT NANIA Scene Movie Editor)
After suffering through an endless parade of summer movies geared towards teenagers who like to have their "American Pie" spoon fed to them, along comes "Ghost World," an edgy, uncompromising, darkly comic film that defies tradition and convention.
