Bush beat him there during the 2000 Republican primaries, has often vowed to be a straight shooting candidate who puts honor ahead of winning. When Republicans attacked fellow retired Navy officer Kerry in the 2004 "Swiftboat" episode, McCain called the ads "dishonest and dishonorable." Earlier in this campaign when the North Carolina Republican Party said Obama's relationship with Rev. Wright made him "too extreme," McCain asked it to stop and said: "There's no place for that kind of campaigning, and the American people don't want it." The new tone may depress many, but a top independent pollster in the battleground state of Pennsylvania said it's unlikely to change many minds. "The economy is so dominant and the change focus so great, I just don't think voters are going to buy into it," said Terry Madonna, a political scientist at Franklin and Marshall College.

However, it's just not going to happen this year. For starters, you can't expect a couple of columns to impact the game day dress of thousands of student fans. Secondly, as I mentally rummage through my dresser drawers, I'm pretty sure I don't have an orange Notre Dame shirt. Anyone in the "orange" section would second guess the idea of wearing a shirt on game day that has nothing to do with Notre Dame football, even if it is for a greater visual cause. So here's my idea: next year, when students buy their tickets, include "The Shirt" with that purchase. And let the section on a student's ticket booklet determine which color shirt (green, white, or orange) he or she receives. I've never understood why Notre Dame hasn't integrated the spirit shirt with the ticket booklets; a lot of other schools do this and achieve great results in participation (forget other schools, just look at the uniformity of the Leprechaun Legion). By the way, the fund-raising muscles of "The Shirt" project wouldn't be hurt in the slightest; the bookstore could still sell the green version to fans. And it might make tickets cost $15 more next year, but let's face it, Notre Dame was already going to do that anyway.

Of colors and T-shirts Patrick Berry sophomore Carroll Hall As mentioned in several letters last week, I too think it would be Ocr. 2 great to have a green-out or blue-out with all fans wearing the same color. However, there are only two feasible ways to do this. First, is is the responsibility of the Alumni and other fans to wear the color of the students. This year, The Shirt is blue, and most students wear either The Shirt or a knockoff of the same color. Straight fro111 the bleeding heart The other option (for a green-out if in a blue The Shirt year) would be to have free T-shirts handed out at the stadium when fans enter. Get a good sponsor and it might not even cost too much. When someone gets dumped by their boyfriend or girlfriend, the rule of thumb is one week of There is one more thing though. There will always be those people mourning for every six months you were together. Well, the 2008 Cubs reported to spring training (especially students) who think they will be really cool or funny if about eight months ago, so we Cubs fans are going to need at least ten days to get over this.

I am not going to pick out a single curse or story, but I. am going to affirm the much bandied about idea that we are cursed. And I use "we" because it is not just the team; it is the fans, too. While these things happen over and over again on the field, the fans continue to be stupid and loyal Matt Mooney enough to stick with the team and get their hearts broken repeatedly. We lead a trivial sports life of junior hardcore rooting and blind prophecies that this will be the year while all other fans smile and nod Alumni Hall at our stupidity and see through our words to the sad truth. Ocr.3 One could say, "They're not cursed, they just have bad luck," or, "They choke or just can't come through in big games." Well, fine. I agree with that and while it's commonly called a curse, you could just as easily throw jinxed or hexed or whatever you want on there. It's a matter of seman tics, and we are all talking about the devastating reality. Something about the intangible concept of playing for the Cubs causes ground balls to trickle through infielders' legs, hitters to take pitches down the middle while swinging at junk in the dirt, and ace starting pitchers to throw awful games when it means something. So contest it being a curse or a hex or bad luck or even deny its existence if you so choose, but if you do that, tell me how a 97 -win team- the best since 1945 and the best team in the NL- man ages to lay an egg and get swept by a team that did not smell .500 for more than three weeks of the year.
