B a rle tt said. “ A society b u ilt on

Since w hen did going
to a Notre Dame foot­
ball game become an
unpleasant experience?
Since this past
Saturday.
As a senior, I have
seen N otre Dam e’s sons
m arch onw ard to vic to ­
ry fo r fo u r years. As a
Rachel T orres
spectator from the stu ­ Saint M a ry ’s Accent E d ito r
dent section, 1 have
tru ly enjoyed the experience.
U ntil now.
Some o f the things I saw this weekend in
the student section m ake it h a rd fo r me to
believe o u r co m m u n ity o f students is sup­
posed to be fille d w ith some o f the greatest
m inds in the nation.
F irst, I m ust ask: W hat are the strategic
m asterm inds th in k in g w hen they a rriv e m in ­
utes before k ic k o ff expecting to sit in th e ir
assigned seats? 1 know I am not the only one
this weekend w ho was hassled by these a rro ­
gant fools w ho assume th a t the w hole student
body w ill move over to accom m odate th e ir
dru n ke n ly stupefied selves.
In my case, m ore th a n a h a n d fu l o f Notre
Dam e’s finest a rrive d about 10 m inutes
before k ic k o ff to lite ra lly push me out o f th e ir
way so they could “ claim th e ir ro w .” It takes
in cre d ib ly cu ltu re d and re fin e d young men to
shove a 135 lb. young w om an out o f th e ir
way. It speaks volum es about the diplom acy
skills o f gentlem en w ho do this w ith o u t asking
the young w om an firs t to please move.
The early b ird , as they say, gets the w o rm ,
it is a fact: alm ost everybody in the student
section is s ittin g in somebody else’s seat.
R ather than insist upon c la im in g yo u r real
seat, sim ply go som ew here else to sit. As long
as yo u’re cheering fo r the same team w ith a
group o f friends, w h y should it m a tte r i f i t ’s
from a few row s fa rth e r away?
It is h a rd ly w o rth the hassle o f sum m oning
an usher o r squishing too m any people
together to get yo u r seat. You only m ake the
people s ittin g around you begrudge you fo r
the space you consume instead o f th e ir
friends, and then nobody is happy. Or, i f you
m ust sit in yo u r exact spot, a rriv e at the sta­
dium ea rly to ensure th a t nobody else w ill sit
in it.
The language skills o f m any students w ere
simple at best, as they could th in k o f only a
few choice adjectives to express th e ir feelings.
1 do not take offense to sw ear w ords, b u t
w hen the dreaded “ f ” w o rd is shouted re p e at­
edly in a derogatory w ay, it makes me
ashamed to s it in the student section.
Enough w ith the m a rsh m a llo w fights,
already!! Being smacked in the face w ith a
gooey m arsh m a llo w h u rle d fro m less than 10
feet away is not fun. One o f the m ost disgust­
ing things I’ve ever seen was when a group o f
these m arshm a llo w hooligans licked th e ir
m arshm allow s to make them sticky before
they th re w them. Classy, people. Really classy.
F inally, I hope next tim e the freshm en w ill
stop cheering w hen the alm a m ater plays. I go
to Saint M a ry ’s, and it's not m y alm a m ater
th a t is played, but I s till know to stop and pay
respect to it. The S aint M a ry ’s com m unity
also takes p a rt in game festivities and cheers
from the student section. Mr. Davie m ig h t
w a nt to say hello next tim e.
So, to the w o n d e rfu l students w ho come to
root fo r Irish: Please listen to w h a t I've said,
so th a t the game experience can be enjoyed
by all.

In Chicago, i f you take a ta x i fo r h a lf

th a t the Chicago ta x i d riv e r w ill p ro b a ­
bly not try to sw in d le you o u t o f money,
fondle yo u r th ig h and leave you on a
darkened stre e t c o rn e r based on y o u r
n a tio n a lity . E ith e r w ay, d o n ’t say y o u ’re
A m erican unless you are p re p a red to
slap someone, g ra b y o u r w a lle t and
run.
T axis here are ca ndy-apple green
Volksw agen Beetles d riv e n by anyone,
no m a tte r how old, w ith enough eye­
sight le ft to d istin g u is h “ d a y ” from
“ n ig h t.” T hey are alw ays d riv e n by
men, and alw ays d riv e n badly. M usical
selections come in o n ly tw o va rie tie s,
polka and re lig io u s ta lk ra d io . T a x i d r i­
vers alw ays take advantage o f
A m ericans.
People w ho are fo rce d to take taxis
every day, like me, le a rn to w a tc h w h a t
they w e a r and w h a t th e y say. J e w e lry
indicates th a t you have m oney, and
money means th a t you m ig h t be robbed.
Saying th a t you are A m e ric a n im p lie s
th a t you have m oney.
The last tim e I told a ta x i d riv e r th a t I
was A m e rica n was the firs t tim e I had
someone over the age o f 60 p u t th e ir

w om en tra v e llin g alone at n ig h t in
M exico City a p p a re n tly do n o t have a

ve r decided th a t because I was
A m erican I p ro b a b ly w o u ld n ’t m ind
paying double before he unlocked the
d oor and le t me out. A fte r I scream ed
and was dum ped uncerem oniously on a

as a cre a tive w ritin g m a jo r to good use.
The n e xt tim e 1 got into a ta xi no one
b othered me a t all.
“ W here am 1 fro m , sefior? I ’m fro m
M o n se rra t. Yes, we are a very poor peo­
ple. V ery, ve ry poor. No money at all.
V e ry poor. Island n ation, you k n o w .”
I have fin a lly realized th a t the only
w ay to be safe fro m crim e a t all is by
c la im in g residency in a co u n try p o o re r
than M exico. I have n a rro w e d it down
to M o n se rra t, B ra zil and Belize.
“ Yes, sefior, we are a ve ry poor coun­
try . V ery, ve ry poor. But proud. W hat?
The c a p ita l o f Belize? Tegucigalpa. Very
m ountainous. Lots o f sheep. ”
Y esterday, 1 had the g reat fo rtu n e o f
s tu m b lin g in to the ta x i o f M r. Juan Jose
M ira m o n te s Flores, w ho used to be a
to u r guide u n til he was fire d by his
A m e rica n boss. Lovely man. Nice flo o r

asked me w here I was fro m . T h in k in g
q u ic k ly , 1 look note o f his dashboardm ounted Kleenex h o ld e r adorned w ith a
p alm -sized B ra z ilia n flag. A fte r firs t
a s c e rta in in g w h e th e r he was B ra zilia n
o r not (not) and w h e th e r he spoke
P ortuguese (d id n ’t), I fa ith fu lly owned
up to being a fo re ig n e r.
“ Yes, sefior, I ’m from B ra zil. Wo are
a very poor people. Very, very p o o r.”
M r. M ira m o n te s Flores confessed to
being the w o rld 's biggest fan o f
B ra z ilia n soccer, at w h ic h p o in t he
asked me w h ic h was m y fa v o rite player.
I told him the one w ith the big h a ir. 1
th o u g h t it best not to a d m it th a t I

any m ore than 1 could nam e the ca p ita l

th e re ’s a beach. The m ountains s o rt o f

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Reply: Hey, Girls Just Want to Have Fun
I ’ m w r itin g in response to
B rittn e y N y s tro m ’s a rtic le
re g a rd in g w h a t she re fe rs to
as “ B itc h to s ta l,” and h e r d is ­
a p p o in tm e n t in the fem ales
w ho supposedly p a rtic ip a te d
in the event.
T h e re was never a d rin k in g
conte st a t C oach’s; N ystro m is
to ta lly in c o rre c t w h e n she
cla im s “ I w itnessed an a ll­
fem ale d rin k in g co n te s t.” W ith
th a t sm a ll fa c to r o u t o f the
w ay, I ’m re a d y to p re s e n t my
a rg u m e n t.
In my o p in io n , i t ’s fem ales
like N ystrom w h o m ake the
gender gap even la rg e r. If
a n yth in g , w h a t she describes
as “ B itc h to s ta l” is a c tu a lly an
exam ple o f fem ales lessening
the gap in gend er e q u a lity .
How m any tim e s do we see
groups o f guys g a th e rin g
to g e th e r, m a le -b o n d in g , and
do in g th in g s lik e ru n n in g
th ro u g h the lib ra r y naked? Do
th e y lo w e r the sta tu s o f m ales
in ge n d e r re la tio n s ? W hy does
N ystro m decide to le t these
events slide, and y e t condem n
the a ctions o f h e r sisters at
N o tre Dame? It seems to me
th a t p e rh a p s N ystro m is s h o w ­
ing th a t fem ales have not re a l­
ly advanced th a t fa r, because
she d isp la ys the same a ttitu d e
th a t was p re v a le n t in the
1950s. H ow are w o m e n su p ­
posed to u n ite u n d e r one fro n t
i f fem ales are condem ned by
o th e r fem ales fo r d o in g som e­
th in g th a t has become a n orm
fo r males?
In h e r a rtic le , N ystro m says,
“ 1 u n d e rsta n d th a t th is was
m e re ly a g ro u p o f frie n d s h a v ­
in g a good tim e .” H ow ever, I
do n o t th in k th a t she is tru ly
a w a re o f th is. “ B itc h to s ta l”
does not sound to me lik e a
school re la te d fu n c tio n , n o r a
p o litic a l s ta te m e n t. It was
m e re ly a g ro u p o f social, fun,
in te llig e n t g irls w ho w a n te d to

haps a little im m a tu rity . The
South Quad g irls did n o t w e a r

a s im p le h is to ric a l fa c t th a t
the C onfederate fla g re p re ­
sents the te rm “ s o u th ,” hence,
it re p re s e n te d “ s o u th ” quad.
N ow I come to my fa v o rite
p a rt o f N y s tro m ’s a rg u m e n t,
th a t the South Quad g irls w ere
“ ru n n in g a ro u n d in re ve a lin g
o u tfits .” Since w hen is it
d e g ra d in g fo r a fem ale to w e a r
a tig h t s h irt? A re fem ales su p ­
posed to feel self-conscious
and cheap ju s t because o f
w h a t th e y w ear?
N y s tro m ’s la st sentence
sum s up h e r a rg u m e n t; “ These
w om en could have found a

N TABLE TALK
Choose
Have you ever heard a Michael
Jackson joke? There arc usually about
a h a lf dozen flo a tin g around at any
given tim e, and they usually capitalize
on the sin g e r’s strange tastes and te n ­
dencies, everyth ing from sleeping in an
oxygen tent to underg o in g su rg e ry to
reduce his skin pigm entation.
Mick
Swiney
I heard a M ichael Jackson jo k e the
othe r day and yes, I laughed, b u t i t also
made me th in k. W hy have 1 never heard
a Mel Gibson joke? I thought. W hy
have I never heard a H a rriso n Ford
joke?
The answ er to those questions is o b vi­
ous — Mel Gibson and H a rrison Ford
are c u ltu ra l favorites; they seem to
embody all o f the ideal m asculine c h a r­
acteristics on screen, and fo r th a t re a ­
son we love and a d m ire them , we
respect them and p a tte rn ourselves a fte r
them . M ichael Jackson, on the o ther
hand, though he has a m easure o f pop u ­
la rity in the m usic in d u stry, and though
he is perhaps the w e a lth ie st e n te rta in e r
o f all tim e, em bodies none o f these c h a r­
acteristics; he is not one o f the b e a u tifu l
and respectable people w ho set the
standard fo r society. In fact, he’s w h a t
you m ig h t call a fre a k; he sets the s ta n ­
dard fo r w h a t not to be.
So I started th in k in g abo u t rid ic u le in
general, and w hy the ‘ fre a ks’ o f our
society seem to collect so m uch o f it.
This is w ha t I came up w ith .
The fact about rid ic u le is th a t you find
it everyw here; most o f us associate it
w ith had m em ories from childhood o f
isolated incidents in w h ich we w ere
laughed at by o u r peers. But w hen you
think about it, the practice o f m ocking
someone or som ething is fa r m ore
prevalent than we w ould ever im agine:
yo u r friends do it, yo u r parents do it,
yo u r grandparents do it. Everybody
ridicules, from teachers in class to
priests in sermons. As a race, a species,
we m ake fun o f a w hole lo t o f things.
W hich is fine — in fact, it's m ore than
fine; as a practice, m o cke ry p robably
has some an thropo log ica l, e vo lu tio n a ry
o r even biological origins. Ridicule
crosses c u ltu ra l boundaries, and
thro u g h o u t the h istory o f o u r race satire
has kept both the e n te rta in m e n t in d u s­
try and the news m edia in business.
So if rid icu le has such stro n g fo u n d a ­
tions in the developm ent o f o u r species,
there m ust be som ething good about it.
And on paper, m a kin g fu n o f people
does seem like a positive thing. We tend
to laugh m ostly at the ways in d ivid u a l
to
behavior d iffe rs from those o f the group.
In th a t re gard, rid ic u le seems like the
best kind o f hum or, a s o rt o f re jo icin g in
the little differences th a t m ake us
unique. Right?
Let me try a d iffe re n t approach: w h e n ­
ever we m ake fun o f someone, o u r
object is usually to m ake them feel
ashamed o f w h a te ve r th e y’re doing th a t
co n flicts w ith the accepted norm s o f the
group. Most psychologists w ill te ll you
th a t shame is a defensive response, a
fear o f being “ le ft b e h in d ” by the group
unless ce rta in counter-social behaviors
are discontinued. If m ockery causes a
sense o f shame in the target, hopefully
the person w ill associate th a t sense o f
shame w ith w h a te ve r we d o n ’t like
about them , and w ill stop it, get rid o f it,
o r at least hide it fro m us.
I t’s a nice way to discourage unw anted
behaviors. We used to ra g on m y little
b ro th e r all the tim e fo r not observing
personal hygiene o r fo r p ickin g his nose
in public, and i f you asked us about it
we p ro b a b ly w ould have told you that
m a kin g fun o f him was an educational
process, and th a t we w ere doing him a
service by keeping him away fro m w h a t
we th o u g h t w ere a b norm al o r in a p p ro ­
p ria te behaviors. We had his best in te r­
ests at h e a rt, in o th e r w ords.
A side note; he’s now the m ost conser­
vative m em ber o f the fa m ily , is always
ready to m ake fun o f someone else (to
“ help them o u t” ) and is a hom ophobe to
boot. We m ust have done o u r jo b w ell.
So my basic conclusion is this: m ock­
ery, rid ic u le , scorn, etc. is a tim e -h o n ­
ored tra d itio n w ith in the hum an race,
w ith o u t w h ic h the e n tire s tru c tu re o f
o u r h u m o r w ould fa ll a part. M aking fun
o f others is also an act o f generosity, by
w h ic h we selflessly educate the young
and show th e m w h a t NOT to do, who
NOT to be, and how NOT to th in k .
T h ro u g h rid ic u le , we welcom e everyone
into the social group by in s tillin g in
them a fe a r o f un conventionalism , to
hang over th e ir head and keep them in
lin e w ith o u r standards. It's the least
we could do.
You d o n ’t buy it?
Me n e ith e r. E ve ryth in g I ju s t said is
crap.
Shame is perhaps the most destructive
em otion any hum an being can e x p e ri­
ence, and an eagerness to prom ote th a t
feeling in o th e r people could only be
described as sadistic. I got made fun o f
as a kid; so did you, and n e ith e r o f us
liked it.
But the sad th in g is th a t rid ic u le seems
to have found quite a com fortable home
here at N otre Dame. I fin d m any o f our
students to be sham e-crazed people, so
fe a rfu l o f being made fun o f th a t they
avoid w ith a kind o f pa ra n o ia any
actions o r attitudes th a t m ig h t co n flict
w ith those o f the group, and are eager
to show this faith fu ln e ss to society by
a tta ckin g anyone w ho is n ’t so q uick to
conform .

w ith your friends, and s ile n tly count
every in su lt, scornful re m a rk, “ dis,” or
o ther instance o f rid ic u le th a t you hear
in the course o f conversation. B ring
some paper — you’ ll ru n out o f fingers, I
guarantee you.
Does this mean th a t N otre Dame stu ­
dents are the spawn o f Satan? No. Are
we evil? Not even.
It sim ply means th a t w e ’re good stu ­
dents. R idicule is an e d ucational tool, as
I have said. It teaches us w h a t to avoid
in daily discourse, how to express o u r­
selves and in te ra ct. W e’ve learned w ell.
But it also teaches us to a ttack w h a t
seems out o f place, to do e verything in
ou r pow er to discourage behaviors th a t
fa ll u n der a standard d iffe re n t from our
own. And I ’m n o t ta lk in g about person­
al hygiene, e ith e r; I re fe r to d iffe re n t
modes o f expression, d iffe re n t vie w ­
points and opinions, d iffe re n t attitudes
and lifestyles. I re fe r to e verythin g th a t
makes o u r species com plete ... every­
th in g w h ich is endangered by the m ock­
ery o f others.
Ridicule causes us to in h ib it o u r own
in d ivid u a lism ; fo r those o f us w ho can’t
hide o u r differences, o u r color, ou r re li­
gion, o u r sexual o rie n ta tio n , it m erely
convinces us th a t w ere freaks. It makes
us ashamed.
Don’t get me w ro n g — I ’m not a n ti­
hum or. I ’m only a n ti-rid ic u le .
But th a t doesn’t m ean 1 do n ’t do it
m yself.
W hy then, you m ig h t ask, did 1 spend
an en tire colum n o f The Observer
assaulting one o f my own bad habits?
W here do I get o ff te llin g people to do as
I say, and not as I do?
T h a t’s an easy one — I say a ll this
because I know i t ’s w ron g. So do you,
and so does everyone. And yet we s till
do it; i t ’s like a bad h a b it th a t the entire
hum an race has picked up. So how do
we stop it?
We s ta rt at N otre Dame.
Come on, like you co u ld n ’t see it com ­
ing. W e’re the tre n d se tte rs in this
nation, as are a ll young, in te llig e n t,
prom ising, and h a rd -w o rk in g people.
W e’ve set o u r own standard to follow ,
and th a t’s w hy w e ’re here, enjoying the
benefits o f a top-n otch education and a
w o n d e rfu l life experience. W e’re the
b e a u tifu l people, the ones w ho tra n ­
scend rid ic u le , the ones everyone else
looks to fo r an idea o f w here the species
is headed. I t ’s got to s ta rt w ith us.
A re you ready? It doesn’t take much.
We ju s t have to rem em ber th a t everyone
has feelings to be h u rt. M ore than any­
th in g else, we have to rem em b er how
m uch our m ockery o f others h u rts o u r­

on life, it makes us fe a r o u r ow n cre a tiv­
ity and in d iv id u a lis m . It makes us
a fra id ; it makes us ashamed.

No Way Out
puff daddy
ean “ Puffy" Combs, a.k.a. P uff Daddy, is
everyw here today in the m usic industry.
His album No Way Out has soared up the
charts w ith a n u m b e r o f h it singles, and
fu rth e rm o re , he has helped produce fo r SWV and
M ariah Carey, as w e ll as the late N otorious B I G.
T h e re are even ru m o rs c irc u la tin g a ro u n d the
m usic in d u s try th a t P uff Daddy w ill abandon his
hip hop roots fo r teh asthm atic g u ita r rock o f the
Foo F ig h te rs . In te re s tin g c o m b in a tio n o f Dave
G rohl and P u ff Daddy (tra g ic loss o f friends), b u t
stra n g e r things have happened...I guess.
In lig h t o f his recent p o p u la rity , I decided to lis ­
ten to the disc and see w h a t all the hype is about.
Sadly, the hypo is very m isleading. No Way Out is
e s s e n tia lly an e n s e m b le p ie ce in w h ic h P u ffy
b rin g s to g e th e r all o f his frie n d s and makes an
album . Some o f the m usic has m e rit, but fo r the

h is p a ra n o ia a b o u t d e a th and his fr u s tra tio n s
w ith m o rta lity in the same fashion, b u t not w ith
as m u ch as im p a c t, as h is m e n to r and frie n d .

“ V ic to ry ,” the second tra c k on the album , fea­

released as a single. It paints a p oignant p ic tu r e ^
o f life on the streets as w e ll as the co ntroversial

West Coast riv a lry . The croons o f Busta Rhymes

“ F rie n d ,” fe a tu rin g young Foxy B ro w n , also has
m e rit and ob vio usly speaks o f P u ffy ’s deceased
confidant.
In a d d itio n to the unre lea sed songs (sh a ll we
say diam onds in the rough), the album features
such recent hits as “ I t ’s A ll A bout the B enjam ins,”
“ Can’t Nobody Hold Me D ow n.” and a rem ake o f
the classic Police song “ Every B reath You T ake,”
“ I ’ ll Be M is s in g Y o u ,” w h ic h r e fle c ts on th e
im p a c t o f Big E's d e a th . I f S tin g a p p ro ve d the
sam pling, w ho is to argue i f i t ’s a good song or
not.
T he p ro b le m w ith P u ff D addy is th a t he can
pro d u ce , b u t he ju s t c a n ’ t ra p , w h ic h he sadly
tries to do th ro u g h o u t the e n tire album . He starts
out w ith a good piece o f m usic, like the opening
piano sequence in “ Been A ro u n d the W o rld ," but
then tears it a p a rt w ith his voice and his lyrics.

Welcome to our gay and lesbian students:
W hat follows are my personal reflections, born of prayer and dis­
cussion w ith others. They are born, too, of my appreciation for the achieve­
ments we have attained as a University com m unity in m aking our cam pus
a more welcoming place for gay and lesbian persons.
Two Notre Dame students have organized two public presentations
on homosexuality, w ith financial support from the George Strake
Foundation and under the patronage of the Jacques M aritain Center.
I do not think the presentations will be helpful in any m eaningful
w ay nor are the topics chosen pertinent to w here our com m unity is at this
time. The recent "Spirit of Inclusion" statem ent urges us to seek effective
w ays of rendering to each member of our com m unity the respect w e are all
due because we really are brothers and sisters m ade in G od's image.
The first talk tonight is by Dr. Nicolosi w ho deals w ith hom osexual
men who are "dissatisfied w ith their sexual orientation" and seek different
ways of relating to men w ith the possibility of pursuing a heterosexual
m arriage as a possibility in some cases.
The second presentation on September 18, features a recounting of
the experiences of two people w ho converted from a "gay lifesyle" to a
"decision to live in accord w ith w hat the presenters feel is a more (the com­
parative is used by the organizers) Christian w ay of life."
I am unable to question the research of Dr. Nicolosi. I suspect that
he will address the lack of certainty as to the causes of homosexuality,
including aspects of the "nurture-nature" debate. Surely there are cases of
others w ho do so to conform more closely to the expectations of our society
and culture, or in an attem pt to deny their sexual orientation.
I have no reason to question the conversion experience the two pre­
senters in the second session believe they have experienced. I hope that I
w ould not underestim ate the courage of a person w ho leaves behind any
lifestyle not in accord w ith the Gospel in order to try to live more consis­
tently as a follower of Jesus Christ.
G od's grace is sufficient for each of us in the face of any need, Paul
assures us, and it is freely showered upon all G od's sons and daughters.
Few persons will ever understand more deeply or more personally the
pow er of G od's grace in one's life than will Saul w ho became Paul. The
irresistible fascination Paul experienced w hen he encountered Jesus face to
face is available to each of us in a much more m odest w ay if we but dare to
entrust ourselves to the radically transform ing pow er of Jesus Christ w hich
is always at the core of a com m unity of believers.
My concern is that these two presentations will cause unnecessary
pain and a deepened sense of isolation on the part of some of our hom osex­
ual students. And I suspect they will cause confusion am ong other m em ­
bers of our community.
Fiomosexual students at Notre Dame live in a challenging setting.
But I hope they know or will soon come to be convinced that they are
indeed members of a com m unity in which m any people support them as
individuals and want them to feel welcomed, accepted and loved. Father
M alloy's Open Letter em phasized this point clearly, as did the Spirit of
Inclusion statem ent which accompanied his letter.
Each of us participates in a com m unity which takes seriously the
teachings of the Catholic Church. Through the inspired sources of
Scripture and tradition, enriched by theological reflection, our com m unity
searches for truth we know will lead us to the person Jesus Christ.
If you are uncertain about your sexual orientation, or if you are gay
or lesbian, and you w ant a safe and caring place to talk about it, please con­
tact Cam pus Ministry. O ur first goal will be to assure you that hom osexual
orientation in and of itself is neither sinful nor morally w rong in any way.
Secondly, we will try to provide you w ith a pastoral support group in a
confidential atm osphere where you can speak freely about your ow n situa­
tion and learn from the experiences of other students. If you are a Catholic
or a m em ber of a Christian denom ination, we will try to help you find
w ays of living out your faith convictions w ith integrity.
You need to discover, as we all m ust, how to place all that you are
and hope to be in the hands of our loving God and in service of all G od's
holy people. N otre Dame is a place w here this can take place if we are
determ ined to m ake it happen.

Iowa ready for Tulsa this time Belles s till lo o k in g
By GREG S M IT H
Associated Press W rite r
IOWA CITY, Iow a
Tulsa visits K in n ick S tadium this weekend but
Iowa is trea ting the Golden H u rrica n e like they’re
the 13th-ranked M iam i H urricanes.
The llaw keyes overlooked Tulsa last year, going
to Skclly Stadium w ith a No. 19 ra n k in g and a 2-0
record but stum b ling home w ith a 27-20 defeat.
The loss u ltim a te ly k ille d Io w a ’ s chances o f
landing a New Y ear’s Day bow l bid and denied the
team the o pportu nity to be ju s t one o f fo u r teams
in school history to have 10 wins.
"Y o u co u ld te ll a l it t l e b it th a t guys m aybe
w eren’t as sincere as they should have been. But I
can guarantee you, there w o n ’t be any overconfi­
dence th is y e a r , ’ ’ s a id d e fe n s iv e ta c k le Io n
Le Fleur.
“ W e’re going into this game ju s t like we go into
Ohio State or Michigan. W e’ll be ready to go when
game tim e comes around, ” he said.
A year ago, Iowa gave only lip service to being
ready fo r the game. The Golden H u rric a n e had
lost to low ly SMU and a mediocre Oklahoma State
te a m w h ile th e lla w k e y e s b e a t A r iz o n a and
intrastate rival Iow a State.
Iowa a rriv e d on game day instead o f Hying in
the night before, w hich raised the hackles o f some
Tulsa players.
Ilaw keye defensive back K erry Cooks d id n 't like
it, either.
" lu s t the w h o le w e e ke nd w as bad. We fle w
down the day o f the game. W e’ve never done any­
thing like th a t,” he said. “ You could ju s t te ll the
a ttitude o f the players. Even myself, it was kin d of,
‘W ell, i t ’s T ulsa.’ We w e re n ’t really prepared for
th a t game.
“ I ju s t rem em ber how much they embarrassed
our defense and the te a m .”
A ye a r la te r, Iow a is 1-0 a fte r a 66-0 v ic to ry
over D ivision l-A A opponent N o rth e rn Iow a last
Saturday w hile the Golden H u rrica n e lost its open­
er 34-24 to Cincinnati.
The Hawkeyes vow not to stum ble again against
Tulsa.
“ 1 d o n ’ t th in k i t ’s a b o u t re ve n g e . W e ’ re n o t
going to say we owe them. W e’re ju s t going to go
o u t and p la y o u r g a m e ,” q u a r te r b a c k M a tt
Sherman said. “ W e’re very confident in our a bility
th a t we can go out there and beat these guys i f we
do w h a t we do best.
“ But again, th e y ’re very con fid e n t and th e y’re
going to come in here sky hig h as they should.
They have a ve ry good ball clu b .”
P laying in fro n t o f a Big Ten cro w d o f n e a rly
70 ,0 0 0 people s h o u ld n ’ t in tim id a te the Golden
H urricane. It hasn’t bothered them yet.
In 1989, they hung tough in a 30-22 loss w hile
in 1993, the Hawkeyes got a tw o -p o in t conversion
w ith less than a m inute to play to eke out a 26-25
victory in fro n t o f the home crowd.
The key at Tulsa last year was Tulsa q u a rte r­
back John F itz g e ra ld , w ho com pleted 22 o f 37
passes fo r 357 yards and a touchdown.
T u ls a ’s defense, m e a n w h ile , h eld Io w a to 14
firs t downs and ju s t three second h a lf points. In
the la st q u a rte r, the Golden H u rric a n e stopped
Iow a tw ice on fo u rth down inside T ulsa’s 10-yard
line.

charity or some other faceless
entity is named in honor o f the
event, and a representative or
tw o fro m th a t o rg a n iz a tio n

It is a trite and old exercise
that leaves m any o f the p a rtic ­

Sunday, h o w e ve r, the N otre

ducted a fundraiser that devi­
ated from the status quo, and
the success o f this fu nd ra iser

The Notre Dame hockey p ro ­
gram turned tragedy into t r i ­
umph w ith the “ F irs t A nnual
ND H o c k e y P o w e r P la y
Run/W alk.”
The Notre Dame com m unity
lost a friend w ith the death of
Ed Slaggert, b ro th e r o f assis­
ta n t coach Andy Slaggert, as a
result o f cancer.
As a result o f the death, the
h ocke y p ro g ra m d ecide d to
establish an annual fundraiser
to fig h t cancer, w ith the p ro ­
ceeds o f this event benefiting
the Slaggert fam ily, and future
p ro c e e d s

th e
A m e ric a n C ancer S ociety in
Ed’s memory.
Not only was this fundraiser
personal on the m oney-raising
side, b ut it was also personal
on the a c tiv ity side . Coach
Slaggert coordinated the activ­
ity h im s e lf and s u p e rv is e d
every aspect o f the ru n u n til
every last run ne r finished.
F urtherm ore, all ND hockey
players who were not injured

the event, but actually p a rtic ­
ipating in the event.
The event its e lf was fun, or
at least as fun as ru n nin g can
be. There were three types of
courses one could undertake,
each w ith its o w n s p e c ific
h ockey p e n a lty u n d e rto n e s :
the tw o-m ile w alk (m inor), the
fiv e - k ilo m e te r ru n (m a jo r),

The ru n nin g courses circled
around the Notre Dame cam ­
