As current leaders of student government, the two now do not have the same flexibility to perform this ritual again. In continuing with a campaign platform promise, however, they have now come up with what they believe to be a suitable equivalent: an online platform called “Onward.”
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latino Supreme Court justice as well as the third appointed female justice, abandoned her typical black robes for more comfortable black slacks, a black shirt and a grey cardigan at a speaking event on Sept. 2 in Leighton Concert Hall.
This year’s freshmen are doing something no upperclassmen can relate to: the Moreau First Year Experience Course. This new freshmen class is changing the first year experience in a big way, but all most upperclassmen know is that it somehow got freshmen out of taking The Swim Test.

Standing for “New Organization Via Online registration,” NOVO is intended to be a simpler registration process, one that Chuck Hurley, university registrar, says will be more intuitive and user-friendly.
The Notre Dame student experience is grounded in green. The university’s everyday operations, the expansive Notre Dame community and the university’s longtime viability are supported by an unimaginably vast network of financial resources.
In 1988, the university contained about six million square feet of building space. Today, 40 percent of Notre Dame has been built in the past 25 years as the square footage of the campus has reached 10 million.

The 1960s were a tumultuous time in America, especially during the Vietnam War. At Notre Dame, Fr. Hesburgh often clashed with students who felt that he was not taking a strong enough anti-war stance. He respected their right to free speech and peaceful protest, but he was not against intervening when they threatened to burn down the ROTC building and staged a lie-in during CIA and Dow Chemical interviews on campus. He even had to face Sorin Hall (now Sorin College) seceding temporarily from the university.…
Fr. Hesburgh, a man who influenced countless lives and held company with some of the world’s most powerful people, had one weakness: airplanes.
A self-proclaimed aviation buff, Hesburgh held a lifelong interest in all things pertaining to flight. While he’d wanted to become a priest since the age of six, his goal after that was to become a chaplain on an aircraft carrier. His childhood hobby was building model airplanes, but his fascination really began with his first plane ride. When Hesburgh was 10 years old his father paid five dollars for him to ride in a barnstormer’s stunt plane. “I was hooked for life,” Hesburgh said of the ride in his autobiography.…
Ask about Hesburgh’s involvement in presidential politics, and you’ll have to clarify his involvement with which president. The fact that not one, not two, but six presidents, from both the Republican and Democratic parties in the age of partisanship, sought Hesburgh’s opinion over the decades demonstrates his national recognition. …
With the Blue and Gold game on the horizon, Notre Dame fans and students prepare for the one of the biggest moments of every year: the unveiling of the Shirt.
The Shirt started in 1990 as a way to raise money for Notre Dame student clubs and activities. It was meant to be a unifying symbol for the student body in the 1990 opening football game against the University of Michigan. That first year, over 9,000 shirts were sold.…
