203 LAFORTUNE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME

NOTRE DAME, INDIANA 46556-5602 Dear Fellow Students,

In response to the policy changes introduced on March 18,2002 there has been a great deal of student discussion about the loss of hall traditions and the lack of student participation in this process. Student Government has taken an active role in voicing these student concerns in recent weeks. However, we believe that students must unite in a single voice to most effectively make known their position on these issues.

Therefore we have drafted the following petition to the administration and are asking for your support on this issue:

We, the undersigned students of the University of Notre Dame du Lac, have signed this letter because we are concerned about the recent policy changes introduced on March 18, 2002, their effect on the University's residential atmosphere, and, most importantly, the lack of direct student input into this process.

We believe the residential atmosphere at Notre Dame is a unique and important experience that brings students together into strong, spirited communities. Halls unite during in-hall dances which are an integral part of the strong traditions that characterize residential life at Notre Dame. The decoration and transformation of the students' home into a place that fosters unity and inspires excitement among residents is the direct result of hosting the dance in the hall. We believe moving dances out of the hall will deprive students of the important opportunity to build community and will consequently damage the residential life and hall spirit at Notre Dame.

We also do not believe that these proposed policy changes are the best way to address abusive drinking because they do not attack the root of the problem. Simply creating a new policy denies students the opportunity to address this concern. Instead, we believe a multi-faceted approach-one that includes increased education and programming-is the best way to respond to this issue.

Most importantly, however, the process by which these changes were implemented has illuminated a flaw in the way policy is created at Notre Dame. We object to the lack of student participation and input into the creation of these new policies. Students were not allowed to sufficiently participate in the creation of these policies and therefore were not empowered to create the solutions that will most effectively address our shared concerns. When students have an active voice in the policy development process, the resulting policies will better address student needs and problems.

To that end, we call for the University to:

• Allow in-hall dances to continue in a fashion that incorporates solutions from students and addresses the concerns of all parties.

• Increase the University's commitment to education and programming to address the root cause of alcohol abuse.

• Guarantee student participation in the decision making process on policies that affect their lives and the culture of Notre Dame.

We believe that uniting the Notre Dame community is the best way to achieve our goals. Only when we come together can we fully make the changes needed to better our University..

This week your hall government will be requesting your signature on this petition. The discussion on this issue is far from over and we nt..:d you to make your voice heard.

Sincerely,

Trip Foley Student Body President Student Body Vice President WE HAVE A VOICE THE OBSERVER VIEWPOINT page 8 Tuesday, April 9, 2002

KEOUGH INSTITUTE FOR IRISH STUDIES

Some Undergraduate Courses for fall 2002:

IRISH LANGUAGE IRST 101 Beginning Irish I An introduction to modern spoken and written Irish: basic principles. of grammar and sentence structure, as well as core vocabulary. Emphasis is placed on the application of these principles in every-day situations. Students learn how to conduct simple conversations: talking about oneself and asking information of others; talking about family and home; describing the weather and daily activities.

HISTORY OF IRELAND IRST 326B Irish History I This course explores the main themes in Irish history from the Plantation of Ulster in the early Cl7th through the rebellion of 1798, a period that witnessed the emergence of many forces and rivalries that have shaped modern Irish society and politic. .•k · .. IRST 441 The Vikings Did the Vikings contribute anything to western civilization other than plunder and pillage,-pagan savagery, and horned helmets? This course examines the Vikings' impact on Europe and North America over four centuries. Discussion centers on primary sources from England, Ireland, France, Russia, and Scandinavia, archaeological evidence and modern treatments of Vikings in film and literature. IRST 235 The Irish American Experience For sophomores only, this course will examine the history of the Irish in the U.S. In many respects the Irish are the great success story in American history. They have moved from the shanty towns to the board rooms of Wall Street. Along the way they have left their mar~ on American politics, literature, religion, and the Labor Movement; these are the areas that the course will study. The heart of the course will be the century of immigration, 1820-1920. ._, ... IRISH LITERATURE -::~. IRST 471 Dying Cultures: Studies in Six Irish Writers 1910-2000 Bram Stoker, W. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge, Elizabeth Bowen, Seamus Heaney, Medbh McGuckian. The aim of the course is to look at the exemplary role assigned to the notion of a dying culture in the work of the authors listed here: The versions of suc~'9ullures are the pre-modern (Stoker); the Anglo-Irish and the Modern (Yeats and Bowen); the traditional Gaelic culture (Synge); and Northern Ireland (or 'the North'), in Heaney and McGuckiari. Close examination of the fiction, drama and poetry involved will be reinforced by an analysis of the versions of history deployed by these authors, most especially those versions dominated by the notion .of a conflict bet~een,~IJ:adition' and 'modernity'. · IRST 453 Visits to Bedlam 'He gave the little wealth he had, I To build a house for fools and mad··. ;- .'

IRISH FOLKLORE AND ANTHROPOLOGY

IRST 321:01 MWF 9:35-10:25 Diarmuid 6 Gioliliin Minors only thru 2nd Dart period Folklore, National Culture and Irish Identity The notion of folklore emerged in the late C18th and early C19th. Closely associated with ideas of cultural relativism. from the romantic period on it became an important resource to national movements in search of cultural authenticity. This course explores the idea of folklore within the history of ideas, examines the relationships between folklore and popular culture and modernity and outlines the development of folklore as an academic discipline. It looks at the Irish case in detail, from the beginnings of scholarly interest in popular culture in Ireland to the central intellectual engagement of the literary revivals with it at the end of the C19th, leading ultimately to the institutionalization of folklore study in the southern Irish state.

IRST 324:01 MWF 11:45-12:35 Diarmuid 6 Giollain Minors only thru 2nd Dart period Irish Traditional Culture To examine Irish peasant culture, this course focuses on materials accumulated by folklorists since the late C19th. Folklorists recorded a huge volume of information as part of a project to rescue and rehabilitate the Gaelic tradition within a modernizing Ireland. This information was from peasant society, but was often seen as transcending it (Gramsci's 'national-popular'). The course interrogates the notion of 'traditional culture,' implicit or explicit in the work of folklorists, and relates that work to anthropological and other writing on Ireland. There will be particular emphasis on narrative traditions (stories and storytelling), popular religion (folk belief) and material culture (folklife), traditionally the core areas for researchers in folklore and folklife. "'.:t

'~ Professor Diarmuid 0 Giollain of University College Cork, is the leading authority on Irish Folklore.
