SOAP OPERA COLUMN 'Roswell' is alien to teen TV

By CHRIS ROBERTS Associated Press Writer

ALBUQUEHQUE, N.M. Imagine you're a teen-ager and you don't know who your parents are or where you came from. That's a ton of teen angst. It wasn't enough for the creators of "Roswell," who have upped the ante. So, imagine all the above plus one more thing - you're an alien. But, rather than relying on the "Star Wars" approach of fantastic creatures and cutting-edge special effects, "Roswell" (premiering 8 p.m. tonight on the WB) is a star-crossr,d teen-age love story with an otherworldly twist. The show is scheduled in the slot that follows the popular "Dawson's Creek" and matches the teen appeal of WB shows like "Bufiy the Vampire Slayer." "It is a wonderful metaphor for teen-age alienation," said executive producer and script writer Jason Katims ("My So-Called Life").

THE page 20 OBSERVER Wednesday, September 29, 1999 Notre Dame re-energizes for Oklahoma in bye--week

By TIM CASEY Sports Writer

Thus far this season, Irish players have been chastised as not being able to win dose games. Bob Davie's play-calling and coaching ability has been criticized. Allegations of academic fraud and possible NCAA violations have called into question boundaries never before crossed in Irish history. But for a week, at least, the Irish could forget - about the distractions and set their sights on the rest of the season. "I think this open date really did come at a good time," Davie said at Tuesday's press confer­ ence. "It can be beneficial to our football team." 'Most weeks' emphasis is set on preparing for Saturday's opponent, but last week gave Davie and his staff a chance to work with players indi­ vidually. Instead of worrying about Drew Brees or the Michigan defense, Davie was able to focus the attention on skill development and basic technique. "It gave us a chance to practice without worry­ ing about a game plan,"Davie said. "So much of what you do in college football these days is try­ ing to match up and trying to keep up with your opponent. "Last week, we had a lot of time to spend just on individual technique and individual funda­ mentals. I think we really needed that as a foot­ ball team,"he added. Davie also stressed the importance that the ofT­ week had on resting coaches and players - both physically and emotionally.

Recharging for Oklahoma Two contributors on offense will return this week against Oklahoma. Tailback Tony Driver, who suffered a torn left shoulder muscle and flanker Joey Getherall (right shoulder separation against Purdue) will both look to add a spark to the offense. On defense, safety Bon Israel (right ankle sprain against Purdue) and Bonnie Nicks (left

ankle sprain against Michigan) are likely to be JEFF HSUfThe Observer back for Saturday. Tailback Tony Driver, shown here against Kansas, has recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered against "Make no mistake about it, these last three Michigan State and will be in the Irish lineup on Saturday. see FOOTBALL/page 17
