The latest rulings on electronic voting and provisional ballots may not be the final word - but with Election Day looming, they may stand as voters go to the polls. A three-judge panel. of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati reversed and stayed lower court decisions out of Ohio and Michigan over the week­ end, siding with the Bush administration or local Republicans to require that provision­ al ballots be cast in the right precinct, rather than just in the correct county. In Florida, a federal judge ruled Monday that the state's touch-screen voting machines do not have to produce a paper record for use in case a recount becomes necessary, rejecting a remedy to one of the most persistent complaints of the machines' critics. "At this late date - a week and a day until the election - we're not going to see a lot of pre-election remedies," said Daniel Tokaji, a law professor and associate direc­ tor of the Election Law project at Ohio State University.

As recently as last year, 4 million doses of vaccine went unused, even though an alarming early strain of influenza emerged and gained attention because several chil­ dren died from it, particularly in Colorado. Two-thirds of Americans age 65 and older were vaccinated in 2002. But only 28 percent of people with chronic illness and 30 percent of children 6 months to 23 months old got their shots. Health care work­ ers were not much better at 38 percent. Nevertheless, the sudden vaccine shortage this fall is igniting a "scarcity mentality" similar to runs on banks dur­ ing stock market crashes and convenience stores when hur­ ricanes brew offshore. Millions who never bothered to get vaccinated before sud­ denly are hounding their doc­ tors, workplace nurses and supermarket clinics. Americans are crossing bor­ ders and proffering their exposed arms; in Seattle, peo­ ple are paying $105 to ride a high-speed ferry for a shot at the dock in Victoria. British Columbia. What is behind this feverish behavior? Researchers say it is not so much the flu itself as a more generalized sense of feeling unprotected. "Not being able to get the shot takes away your control over your health," said David Ropeik, director of risk com­ munication at the Harvard School of Public Health. "That sense of being out of control is scary." Many providers are rationing precious vials for their neediest patients. For the rest of us, their advice is more THE OBSERVER

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR While her loyal sons Remaining loyal to our team are marching onvvard to mediocrity

As any Domer knows. this is not the official wording of the most popular and storied fight song in American sports, but it could be. Despite coach Tyrone Willingham's successful inaugu­ ral season, one which could have just as easily ended with five wins, the Irish football team has been mediocre since the mid­ '90s. Was it so long ago that Frank Starns tore around Miami's left defensive end and jarred the ball from Steve Walsh causing a fumble that very well could have saved the 1988 national championship? Have we forgotten the lightning quick feet of the Rocket or the improvising of Tony Rice? Do we remember Lou Holtz's gutsy call on fourth down that helped lead the Irish to a 31-30 win over the No. 1 ranked Miami Hurricanes in 1988? The Irish won the national championship in 1988 for many reasons, but two notable ones come to mind and both were in evidence throughout the Miami-Notre Dame game that year. First and foremost was speed. Speed, speed and more speed.

Boston College dido 't need a field goal to beat Notre Dame this year. They used a touchdown instead.

One week after extending the nation's longest head -to-head winning streak over Navy, the Irish continued another, more recent trend having now lost four straight games to Boston College and live of the last six. For Irish coach Tyrone Willingham, now 0-3 at Notre Dame against Boston College, the loss is particularly disappointing. "This was- an important game for our program, our young men," he said. "We felt that if we played our football game, we could win this one. To have it slip out of our hands in this manner hurts." Notre Dame appeared to have a solid grasp on the game after an efl'ective first half. The Irish responded to the Eagles' first­ quarter touchdown with three unanswered scores of their own.

Notre Dame shat­ tered the old record, which was set at the same event last year, by nine strokes. The Irish shot 279-288-287 to finish ninth in the strong field of 16 teams, finishing 24 strokes behind tournament champion New Mexico. Coach John Jasinski attrib­ utes the strong showing to last week's good practices. "We haven't been as competi­ tive as we need to be [in prac­ tice over the past few weeks]. but we had a competitive week of qualifying and good week of preparation," he said. (THAT'S WHAT THlN DORM WALLS ARE FOR) Despite the impressive num­ bers. the scores this weekend were not as good as they seemed. The Stanford Golf Course at host Stanford University is only a par 69 rather than the typical par 7 2, and thus scores are subse­ quently lower across the board. Junior Eric Deutsch and sophomore Cole lsban led the Irish this weekend. The tandem tied for 21st with twin 6-over­ par 213s. The two have been the Irish's strongest members. regularly shooting the best rounds at tournaments. The score was Deutsch's career best, and it ties for 10th best in school history. "Cole is solid in his spot, has yet to even be put in a qualifier, and Eric has been very consis­ tent," Jasinski said. Trailing them was freshman Mike King. King finished with an 8-over-par 215 to finish in a 3-way tie for 31st place. Freshman Greg Rodgers posted another in what will surely ,._ become long line of career bests, shooting a 9-over par 216. Both Rodgers and King have become serious contribu­ tors to the Irish team already in their young careers. "For being in their first year, they are showing a lot of char­ acter, especially in controlling Dependable service. Simple plans. That's what we're for.. their high score," Jasinski said.
