O b s e r v e r The Independent Newspaper Serving Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s VOL. XXXV NO. 77 H T T P : / / 0 BSE RVER.ND.EDU Moscona, Bishop top primary election
By ERIN LaRUFFA Associate News Editor
With just 28 out of 3,402 votes separating them from their closet competitor, candidates Brian Moscona and Libby Bishop finished on top of Monday’s primary election for Notre Dame’s student body president. Moscona and running mate Keri Oxley received 1,302 votes, or 38 percent, while Bishop and running mate Trip c Foley received 1,274 votes, or 37 percent. Because no c ticket received more than 50 percent of the vote, there will be a runoff between the two candidates on Thursday. “We expected it to be close,” said Moscona. “I think this just shows that there were four quality candidates.” S ee Also Agreeing that the closeness of the 2002 Student race reflected the caliber of the tick ets running, Bishop added that the body election primary results reminded her of break down another recent election. “I t’s like B ush/G ore all over PO-4 again,” she said. The third-place ticket of Nikki McCord and Nick Williams received 411 votes, or 12 per cent. Finishing in fourth were Scott Palko and P.J. Mercanti with 395 votes, also approximately 12 percent of the total. For the two tickets left in the race, their victories on Monday mean more campaigning in the days ahead. “We plan to continue meeting people one-on-one and talking to them about our vision for Notre Dame,” said Oxley, who is now serving as president of the Class of 2004. Praising students for “taking an active initiative by vot ing,” current student body vice president Moscona echoed the importance of “vision” in their campaign. “The simple fact that we had such overwhelming sup port leads us to believe that our vision for an improved ND and student union is within our reach,” he said. To Moscona and Oxley’s campaign manager, Tai Romero, it is important that the candidates emphasize what they have already achieved in their campaign. “We want to bring out that we have a lot of student KYLIE CARTER/The O bserver Libby Bishop, Trip Foley, Brian Moscona, and Kari Oxley learn the results of the primary election.

The Liturgy of the Hours is a series of-prayers based on the Psalms said throughout the course of the day. The tradition ofthe Liturgy of the Hours goes back to before the time of Christ. Christ Himselfprayed it in its earlier forms. Morning and Evening prayer lasts approximately 20 minutes each. Liturgy Why should w e pray the Liturgy of the Hours? Christ invites us, as Paul writes, to “Pray without ceasing." The Liturgy of the Hours expresses our mindfulness ofthat call and it is an act ofconsecration of time. o f the H Why start during lent? Lent is a time of recommitting ourselves to God’s service through and in prayer. Liturgy of the Hours is starting during Lent because in Lent we have the opportunity to establish ourselves in new ways of living our lives, to last beyond and be enriched by Easter. The Liturgy ofthe Hours is valuable specifically as a daily offering, complementing the rest ofthe Church’s prayers and seasons. What we begin during lent, we will continue through the rest of the year.
