The troops were “in British hands and on their way towards Freetown," said Lt. Cmdr. Tony Cramp, the British forces spokesman. Six others were still believed held by the small rebel faction, known as the West Side Boys, and their status was not immedi­ ately clear. "We are delighted with this devel­ opment but obviously our thoughts and con­ cerns still remain with those being held,” Cramp said. “Talks are continuing and we hope for early release of the remainder.”

Such stretching of time, of each castaway’s “15 minutes of fame,” will assure the continued presence of “Survivor” in pub­ lic discourse, which is, of course, a boon for host-network CBS. What they might not have anticipated was the immense cultur­ al impact that “Survivor” had on the nation. Legions of fans dressed up in tropical garb every Wednesday for “Survivor” parties. The show’s interweaving, and often forced, plot lines became the primary topic of conversation around the water coolers, coffee shops and break rooms of America.

Calendar of Events W e A re August 28-September 18 n 103 Hesburgh Library By Fr. John Herman, CSC Freshmen Retreat #30 Sign-up In August of 1988,1 ventured to Notre Dame for the first time to begin discerning a Targeted Dorms: Badin, Keenan, Lewis, O’Neill, possible vocation to the priesthood in the Congregation of Holy Cross in the Candidate o Pasquerilla East, St. Edward’s, Morrissey, Walsh, and Zahm Program at Moreau Seminary (the big, curved building on the other side of St. Joseph's Lake). Mondav-Friday. August 28-September 1 Shortly after my arrival, my dad told me about a conversation that he had with our next door 103 Hesburgh Library neighbor, Mr. Milton. Surprisingly, despite being a huge Michigan football fan and seemingly Notre Dame Encounter Retreat #62 Sign-up indifferent to Catholicism, Mr. Milton was incredibly positive about my coming to Notre Dame. He spoke glowingly to my dad about his one experience of Notre Dame. Thursday, August 31, 7:00 p.m. In Recker’s Mr. Milton regularly followed the University of Michigan football team to their road Africentric Spirituality Freshmen Intro games in the Midwest, many at other Big Ten schools and one special one at Notre Dame. He Reception spoke of his surprise at being treated so well by Notre Dame students and fans, despite boldly dressing in all of his Michigan gear for the game. He was amazed that the students were so Sunday. September 3. 1:00 p.m. friendly and even helpful to "the enemy" and conducted themselves with such class. Mr. Keenan-Stanford Chapel Milton saw a clear difference in the kind of reception that he received at Notre Dame com­ CD RCLA: Info Sessions for Candidates and Sponsors pared with the other schools he had visited, and he could not have been any more impressed. More than a decade of Notre Dame football has passed since then. On Saturday, the m Sunday, September 3, 1:30 p.m. 2000 football season begins, and the long, storied tradition of Notre Dame football continues. Keenan-Stanford Chapel Throughout the history of Notre Dame football, we have certainly had many more successes Spanish Mass than failures and wins than losses, but we too have had our tough times like other schools. 20 One of the best and most enduring things about Notre Dame football, however, win or lose, Monday, September 4, 8:30 pm has been the Notre Dame student body. There exists a strong tradition of Notre Dame Basilica o f the Sacred Heart Acolyte Workshop students supporting their team to the end with dedication, energy, and as my neighbor, Mr. Milton, told my dad, "class." Class? Is it class that made the Notre Dame students stand out Monday, September 4. 10:00 pm for my neighbor or was there something more to it than that? Basilica of the Sacred Heart One of the unique and very telling things about Notre Dame football Saturdays is the Eucharistic Minister Workshop announcement made during every game that there will be Mass in the Basilica thirty minutes after the game ends. At a football game? Where else would a similar announcement be made Tuesday, September 5, 7:00 pm Siegfried Hall Chapel or heard? These announcements are a reminder, even in the midst of intense, hard-fought Conflrmation-Info Session for Candidates football games, that there is something more than football that makes Notre Dame and its students special. We who are a part of the Notre Dame family know that this post-game Mass Tuesday, September 5. 8:00 pm is only the tip of the iceberg. Siegfried Hall Chapel Any outsider looking more deeply would quickly learn there are dozens of Masses each Confirmation-Info Session for Sponsors Sunday, most in each of the residence halls - and they are well-attended by students. An outsider would also learn of the impressive number of students who seek to grow in their faith Tuesday, September 5, 8:00 pm LaFortune Ballroom by participating in retreats, faith-sharing communities and the many other programs put on “Fiesta de Bienvenida” by Campus Ministry and who act on their faith by engaging in service opportunities coordi­ nated by the Center for Social Concerns, both in South Bend and throughout the country and Wednesday. September 6, 10:00 pm world during fall and spring breaks and summers. Is it possible that it wasn't class that made Basilica of the Sacred Heart Notre Dame students seem special to Mr. Milton but maybe the faith in God underlying the Lector Workshop way that they conducted themselves? Wednesday, September 6. 10:00 pm Football weekends could provide an excuse for completely cutting loose, suspending our Basilica of the Sacred Heart values and conducting ourselves in ways contrary to what our faith and the Gospel call us. Interfaith Christian Night Prayer The majority of students show us that it is possible to have a great time on football Saturdays without forgetting who they are and without separating football from the other parts of their Twenty-second Sunday in O rdinary Time lives which they allow their faith to inform and influence. It's clear that there will always be people around looking for reasons to dislike or even hate Notre Dame. Unfortunately there Weekend Presiders are some students who seem to go out of their way to validate the negative perceptions that Basilica of the Sacred Heart these folks have of Notre Dame by drinking excessively, by yelling offensive things, by wearing Saturday, September 2 Mass inappropriate or derogatory t-shirts and by mistreating our opponents and even our own team 30 minutes aftergame at times.

tant than ever. It’s quite possible that the fate of Notre Dame’s season

" could hinge on the squad’s ability to rally during a time of adversity, be it a fourth quar­ ter deficit or a tough loss. In those instances it’s up to the squad’s senior leaders to lead the charge. “This team can handle the adversity," Irons said. “I know myself and the other captains will stay positive and I know the younger guys will follow our lead. We’re not planning on giving up over.” Davie’s big brother program has proved instrumental in developing positive, never quit, attitudes in the team ’s younger players. The program pairs an expe­ rienced veteran with a now recruit and has already served as the basis for several bur­ geoning friendships. “It’s a great thing,” said Irons. "It gives us the chance to help the younger guys ease in to college life, and it’s a good way to set an example and show them what a posi­ tive attitude is."
