By ANNE MAHONEY News Writer

A Circle of Blessings \'\ill bring Saint Mary's students together to pray at various campus loca­ tions and unite students spiritu­ ally. Today's ceremony will replace the procession to Notre Dame as the opening ceremony for the academic year at Saint Mary's. "Instead of an opening liturgy in a single location on campus, we want to include everyone on campus in a very active and visi­ ble way," said College President Marilou Eldred. The ceremony will begin at 11:15 a.m. in front of Holy Cross Hall. From there the group will process across the campus mak­ ing various stops at which prayers will be read and songs will be sung. At each stop, more people are invited to join the group and continue the proces­ sion. The march will conclude at Le Mans Hall at 12:30 p.m.

Associated Press

NEW YORK Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" video was the big win­ ner at Thursday's MTV Video Music Awards, winning six of the nine awards for which it was nominated, but it was the sexy video "Lady Marmalade" that took home the year's top trophy. "Lady Marmalade," the "Moulin Rouge" -inspired video, was a collaboration featuring Pink, Christina Aguilera, Mya and Lil' Kim. It also received an award for best video from a film. The night's other big winner was 'N Sync, who received four awards for their special-effects laden video, "Pop," including the viewer's choice award. The "Weapon of Choice" clip by Fatboy Slim, a DJ, doesn't even feature the artist; its star is actor Christopher Walken, danc­ ing around an empty hotel lobby. Among the early awards it nabbed was for best direction, for Spike Jonze, and best chore­ ography. As always, however, the awards themselves tend to be an afterthought, upstaged by the evening over-the-top moments. Thursday was no exception. as 'N Sync capped off a colorful rendition of "Pop" with the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. Jackson gyrated for only a few seconds to 'N Sync's hit, but received a standing ovation from the crowd. Another anticipated moment was Spears' performance of her AFP Photo new song, ''I'm A Slave For Fatboy Slim, Spike Jonze and Christopher Walken stand backstage at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, held at the You," which featured the singer Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center in New York City on Thursday. slithering on stage with a snake bleeped by MTV censors. applause. 22-year-old singer and actress, ence. and other animals.

Clark does not want to let the ranking get in the way of his team's concentration, however. "Rankings don't mean anything when you're playing two quali­ ty teams like Furman and Clemson," Clark stated. The Irish defense, which was superb in its shutout of Villanova, will be tested once again Friday night by the high-powered offense of the Furman Paladins. Fresh off of a 7-0 defeat of Belmont, in which sophomore Scott Hoch scored three goals and an assist, the Paladins should bring a good challenge to the Notre Dame defense, which has yet to give up a goal in its three regular-season and exhibition games. "We've been training all week long to stay in defensive shape," sophomore co-captain Greg Martin said. "This will be a good test for us, but if we play our best, I think we can compete with any team in the country." Martin, a defender, was awarded the Big East Defensive Player of the Week Award for his efforts in the Villanova victory, in which he scored his first career points with a goal and an assist. On Sunday, things should not get any easier as the Irish face the Clemson Tigers. Clemson has gotten off to a rough start this year, going 1-2, los­ ing both of the games in tight 2-1 matches. Even with the two DUFFY-MARIE ARNOUL TIThe Observer losses, the Tigers have outshot their opponents 52-31. Clemson Junior forward Rafael Garcia handles the ball against Villanova Sept. 1.

"To be' honest, these are two games that we need to win that we maybe aren't supposed to get," said Martin. "But if you want to be one of the best teams in the country, you have to win some of the games that on paper you might not be ready for."

ND WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL Up against the best Irish to face three higher-ranked teams in Lincoln

By NOAH AMSTADTER Sports Editor

Notre Dame versus Nebraska. The No. 1 team in the country hosting an underdog Irish squad. Notre Dame players preparing for the "Sea of Red" - Part II. All sounds familiar, except for one thing: the contest described is Saturday afternoon's women's volleyball match between the Irish and Cornhuskers. Saturday's match is Notre Dame's second in the three-day U.S. Bank/Arby's Tournament. The Irish (3-0) also take on the No. 7 UCLA Bruins on Friday at 4:30p.m. and the No. 15 Pepperdine Waves at 1 p.m. Sunday. "I think that we're going into every match believing that we have an opportunity to win," said Irish head coach Debbie Brown. "We're certainly not going in just thinking that we're there to take up space." A year ago, Notre Dame hosted two of this , weekend's opponents at the adidas Invitational. The Irish fell in three games to the eventual national champion Cornhuskers on Sept. 8, 2000 (3-15, 9-15, 12-15). They didn't fare much better the next day against the Bruins, falling (7 -15, 7-15, 15-17). Brown remains encouraged by Notre Dame's late challenge against UClA. "The fact that we did compete. well in the third game against them is good," Brown said.

By ANDREW SOUKUP Associate Sports Editor

Is having experience without knowing the enemy better than knowing the enemy without having experience? Saturday night, the question will be answered when No. 17 Notre Dame, a team that has yet to play its first game of the year, faces two-game winner No. 4 Nebraska. "The fact that we haven't played a game, that we've had closed practices, maybe that gives us a slight advantage," said Irish head coach Bob Davie. Right now, the biggest mystery is what the Irish are going to do at quar­ terback. While sophomore Matt LoVecchio is the starter, Davie has been ambiguous as to the role backups Carlyle Holiday and Jared Clark will play. It's possible all three could see play­ ing time; it's possible that only LoVecchio will play. Whatever his plan is, Davie isn't telling. "I want to give our football team every advantage we can to win," he said. "We certainly have a plan right now. Our players know the plan. But I don't think it's in my best interests or the team's best interests to disclose that right now." While Nebraska is virtually clueless about what Notre Dame plans to do at quarterback, the Irish know exactly what the Husker offense revolves around: quarterback Eric Crouch. But

knowing what Nebraska plans to do is PETER RICHARDSON/The Observer one thing - stopping Crouch is another Notre Dame running back Julius Jones breaks through the Nebraska line during the Cornhusker's 27-24 overtime win last thing entirely. season.
