The I truly believe that activism is a wonderful thing; standing up and sharing your raising of the golden helmets to the student section is a display of respect and a tradition opinions and beliefs, and even trying to get others to join in with you in your fight that shows the solidarity of students and athletes that is hard to find at other institutions. is noble. Giving people a reason get behind you and make a change is great; but There are no names on the backs of our players for the same reason that those players it’s just a shirt, and it’s just an advertisement. raise their helmets to their fellow classmates — we are all part of the same family.

No. this is not a viewpoint about which color or design of a shirt the students should E ditorial C artoon wear to a football game. Although, 1 proudly wore the new design of “The Shirt” this past Saturday, each student has their own opinion about what should be worn at the games. In all honesty though, when “The Shirt” was revealed this past spring, I was surprised like many to learn the color was yellow. What was to become of the “Sea ol Green?” With the new color of “The Shirt," the sea of green could be no more. 1 was disappointed because it was what made the student body stand out among the thousands of people. It was what everyone had come to call the student section, but with the new color yellow, this phrase could no longer be used. But there are greater tragedies in life. Although Notre Dame lost to MSU, we saw the spirit live among the student body. Then I realized that it is not just the color of “The Shirt" or even the design that makes the students stand out. It's our energy, our passion for the game, and most of all, our spirit that makes us known nationally. Sure, it may be easier to spot us when we all wear the same color but what matters is how we contribute to the game by showing our spirit, whether it’s screaming so loud that we can’t talk in class Monday morning or shushing the other ND fans to be quiet when the offense is on the field. When other student bodies might have left when their team was down 38-17 in the third quarter, we stayed till the end. Even after the game was over, we still stood proud in our sections and waited for the band to come onto the field so we could all join togeth­ er and sing the Alma Mater. Swaying left to right with my friends while we all sang, I finally understood and appreciated what the quotes really mean on “The Shirt.” “ The Sprit Lives. If you could find a way to bottle the Notre Dame spirit, you could light up the universe.” The Notre Dame spirit is bottled in the students and we light up the stadium and the entire campus. The spirit lives through us. It’s our job to keep it alive and what better way to remind us of this job then through this year’s design of “The Shirt?” So, if you do wear “The Shirt” to football games this year, wear it proudly because we repre­ sent the spirit of Notre Dame. And the spirit is now more alive than ever.
