VOL XXXIII NO. 83 h t t p ://OBSERVER.ND.EDU Despite antics, election ends in run-off of favorites

By TIM LOGAN News Editor

Despite Darths, a “death” and the debate that many called a debacle, when all the votes were counted Monday evening, it was the two favorites who were left standing in the student body presidential race. Keough Hall senator Brian O’Donoghue and sophomore class vice president Brooke Norton will face Hunt Hanover and junior class presi­ dent John Micek in the run-off elections Thursday. O’Donoghue/Norton received 43 percent of the 3,818 votes cast. Ilanover/Micek garnered 34 percent. John Osborn and Mark Donahey, the Board of Trustees report chairs for student government, finished a distant third with 6.7 percent.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark The art display at the small museum in western Denmark features 10 goldfish, each swimming in its own blender. The catch: each blender can be turned on. depending on the viewer’s whim. The display, which opened Friday, has caused outrage among animal rights activists and drawn unusually large ililliil crowds to the Trapholt Art Museum. Two fish were blended at the opening, and police ordered the plugs pulled after a local group, the Union for the Protection of Animals, com­ plained. Museum director Peter Meyer said five more fish were blended on Sunday. Five surviving fish were also stolen from their blender aquariums over the weekend.

Come to Me all you who labor and are heavily burdened, And I will give you rest...

Jesus is here with us in the Eucharist to give us answers- answers that will lead us to truth, happiness and peace. In this culture of death, it is easy for people to become weary and indifferent to God and His gift of life. People often fall short of their obligation to care for and nurture the spiritual and physical lives of themselves and others. Eucharistic Adoration gives a person the opportunity to nurture his own spiritual life, as well as the spiritual lives of others (through prayer for them.) Prayer also protects the physical lives of those endangered by abortion, euthanasia and other forms of violence. This is because, it is only through the grace which comes from prayer that I make a holy hour each day other’s hearts can be changed from seeking death to loving life. Christ gives us the strength to press on in our battle for life. In order to be in the presence of Jesus in Christ-like in our service to preserve life, we must be filled with His the Blessed Sacrament. All life through prayer. To be Christian, we must follow Christ. If He is not the source of all we do, it is worth nothing. We ask you to join us my sisters of the in prayer for life... Missionaries of Charity make a daily holy hour as What is Eucharistic Adoration? God is present to us in many ways in our world, but He is especially present to us well, because we find that in the Eucharist. As Roman Catholics, we believe that Jesus Christ, who lived 2000 years ago, is truly present in the Eucharist. In Eucharistic Adoration, the through our daily holy hour Host is placed in a monstrance, in order for Us to be able to come and pray. Jesus is always hidden in the tabernacle, but in adoration he is exposed so that we can our love for Jesus becomes come and kneel before Him, face to face, and speak with our God. When Jesus is exposed like this, He can never be left alone. Thus, people sign up to be responsi­ more intimate, our love for ble to some and pray with Him for a certain amount of time (usually 1 hour) every each other more under­ week. standing, and our love for Why should I go? If Jesus were to come to the JACC, would you come and stand in line for ours just the poor more compassion­ to talk to Him for a minute? Even ifyou weren’t Christian, wouldn’t you be at rt least interested in this God so may people talk about? Well, Jesus is truly, physi­ ate. .. cally present here on campus- in the Eucharist. IN ADORATION YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND SPEAK WITH YOUR GOD FACE TO FACE. You confide in Him, plead with Him, question Him. And if you sit quietly - Mother enough, he will inspire you with answers. What do I do when I am there? When you enter the chapel, you should genuflect as a sign of reverence to Jesus. It is common practice during Adoration to genuflect on two knees, instead of just one (like you do whenever you enter a chapel.) You can stand, sit, or kneel- whatever position you pray best in. And then you pray. There are many ways to pray: you can do spiritual reading; you can. pray a rosary; you can sit in silence; you can even just talk to Jesus- like you would to a friend. The most important thing is that you love Him and allow Him to love and strengthen you.

What does the Church think? "Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, whether in a pyx or a monstrance, is a recognition of the wondrous Presence of Christ in the sacrament and stimulates us to unite ourselves to Him in a spiritual communion. It is, accordingly, eminently in harmony with the worship which we owe Him'in spirit and truth..." -Post-Conciliar (Vatican II) Document, S.CD.W.

F encing Irish fencers go undefeated in weekend meet

By MIKE CONNOLLY Associate Sports Editor

T h e men's and women's fencing teams each closed out the regular season with a per­ fect 4-0 meet in Detroit as each team improved to 18-2 on the year. After starting off the season with a 2-2 record, the men reeled off 16 straight wins. The strong finish bodes well ! for the post season, according to foil captain Jim Harris. "We had a heck of a regular season,” he said. “We finished off strong and now we have two weeks to get ready for the Midwest Championships."

M e n ’s B a s k e t b a l l Humphrey awaits chance to shine

By KATHLEEN O ’BRIEN Assistant Sports Editor

Double and triple teams are nothing new to Troy Murphy. The sophomore All-American candidate draws a crowd every time he catches the ball in the post, leaving him beaten and bruised by opposing squads. It’s only natural to wonder how good this year’s Notre Dame basketball team could be with a second standout post player. What if they had someone to complement Murphy down low — an explosive power player capable of scor­ ing and rebounding? It’s not a pipe dream for Notre Dame. Junior transfer Ryan Humphrey is exactly what the doctor ordered. “We wish we had him this year,” junior reserve point guard Martin Ingelsby said. Humphrey, at 6-foot-8 and 225 pounds, was a third-team all-Big 12 selection at Oklahoma last season, but made the switch to Notre Dame this year. He can’t don a Notre Dame uni­ form during the 1999-2000 season; he can only practice with the team. “It’s been hard because 1 wish I was out there playing,” Humphrey said. “But what I can do is help make the team better by going out there and practicing. I feel like I’m making them better.” NCAA guidelines force Humphrey to JOHN DAILY/The Observer watch Notre Dame — win or lose — Notre Dame junior Ryan Humphrey celebrates an Irish basket during Saturday’s 68-66 victory over Connecticut. from the sidelines.
