Your Sunday picture...

A fall scape in the making

... from Notre Dame. Here's a view of the Basilica, Main Building and St. Edward's Hall as seen from the Maffahey Family Presidential suite atop the Hesburgh Memorial Library. Looking west, you can the Sun breaking through the clouds as well as just a tinge of fall colors. Enjoy, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be!

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."

With the start of Fall Break, the blog will be every other day... and while the kids may be on break, podcast is NOT! To hear this week's installment of In the Red Room, on:

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."

We all need...

An old picture... but you get the message

... a break. We're half way through the Fall Semester, and what better way to celebrate this milestone than with Fall Break! So, put down the books, stop the writing, and take a break from your academic labors. What am I doing? Well, keep on reading the blog, and you might find out. On Fall Break, Fr. Ralph stated, "Go, take a break, and don't rush back now, ya hear!"
