They're at it...

Boo!

... again. Yes, North Dining Hall is at it again, putting smiles on the faces of the kids. It may not be the food they're serving up that's causing the smiles, but it certainly is the festive decorations that are scattered about the dinning hall. Indeed, they may not be ready to serve the mass of students looking for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but they're certainly ready for Halloween! On the Halloween decorations, Daniel Arrubla, Steds freshman, dining hall regular, and resident Floridian, disclosed, "I enjoy the inflatable decorations in the dining halls to create a sense of Halloween spirit and excitement."

Hooping...

Niccol: Scouting it for the Lady Irish

... it up. Yes, a Stedsman is hooping it up with the Notre Dame Women's Basketball team. A scout for the Lady Irish basketball players, Drew Niccol practices with the team. But practicing with the team isn't simply picking up a basketball and hitting the court. Ha. If only it were that easy! No, practicing with the team requires watching hours of tape of upcoming opponents BEFORE practice and then mimicking a specific opposing player during practice. It's a real commitment, one not for the faint of heart! But being a scout does have its rewards too. On being a scout, Drew Niccol, Steds freshmen and resident Southern Californian, shared, "Being a member of the scout team for women’s basketball is a lot of fun. It feels close to being a student athlete without truly being one, and it is a pretty cool prospect to be a part of a team that has a shot at winning a national championship. I live for the competition and we get plenty of that on a daily basis. Sometimes we even get fresh berries which is a huge bonus."

Your Sunday picture...

Simply beautiful

... from Notre Dame. Here's another view from the Sorin statute at the south end of God Quad with Mary, the Dome and Main Building in the distance. And what makes the scene even more beautiful is the sky and the setting sun. Enjoy, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be!

Saturday Squirrel.

Sipping away

Do our furry friends ever get thirsty? After all, eating all those nuts, must make one a bit thirsty, right? Well, they do! Recently, a squirrel was spotted on south quad taking a sip of rain water that collected in the cleft of a landscaping rock by Howard Hall. On taking a sip of rainwater, this squirrel non-verbaled, "These acorns are making me thirsty!"
