THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER OUTSTANDING YEAR! How Many Jersey Numbers of Heisman Trophy Winners Can You Name? By John Shearer About four years ago, I wrote a story about the jersey numbers that the Heisman Trophy winners have worn. I decided to write the article after noticing that 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor wore No. 10, and I began wondering which other Heisman Trophy winners wore that number. That started an online search, and I was able to find everyone’s number, or at least a number the player wore during part of his career. I wrote the story in chronological order by year and mentioned the jersey number with each player, but someone emailed me and said he would like to see a story if I ever listed the Heisman Trophy winners in numerical order. After I thought about it, an article written that way would make for a more The College Football Historian-2 - interesting story.

But by August of next year, six Notre Dame graduates may feel a bit differently about Jamaica. By August, these graduates will find themselves no longer students but teachers, and may no longer see Jamaica merely as a resort country, but as their home. Under the leadership of Paul Chang, a 197 5 graduate of Notre Dame, the Jamaican chapter of the Notre Dame Alumni Club is in the process of developing a post-graduate volunteering pro­ gram in Kingston, Jamaica, with a focus on teaching. Chang, who recently visited the University to recruit students and work out administrative details, said he sees education as a means of combating poverty and underdevelopment by providing previously unavailable opportunities to those who need them most. "Through most service experiences you can touch maybe 50 people," said Chang, "but through teaching you might touch more like 200 and see real, leng term effects." The new program will be similar in structure to the Jesuit International Volunteers (JIV), and participants will have interaction with and guid­ ance from JIV volunteers who are already in Kingston. The need for Notre Dame volunteers in Jamaica is great, according to Chang.
