That is why the 50-year-old El Salvadoran has come to the Notre Dame Legal Aid Clinic lor help filing for perma­ nent residency in the U.S. It is why she is sitting across the table from third-year law student Kira Lodge, telling someone she's never met before about her family and her life. Tears run down Adda's face as she talks about her two adult children who have died in HI Salvador since she came to the United States 10 years ago. She talks lovingly of the other two, whom she hopes to see again someday.

Azerbaijani Popular Front protests parlimentary fraud

BAKU, Azerbaijan A leading opposition group said Sunday that 200 people were arrested and 60 wounded in a protest that saw police with batons violently disperse about 1,000 demonstrators. The Azerbaijani Popular Front said in a statement that 15 of its members, including several leaders, were arrested during the protest on Saturday. Opposition leaders held the rally in downtown Baku to demand that this fall’s parliamentary elections be free of fraud or government intimidation. Authorities refused to sanction it, saying they could hold a demonstration on the city’s outskirts instead. But demonstrators ignored the order, and hundreds broke through police lines around the central Fizuli Square. Police said 46 peo­ ple were detained and 34 policemen wounded in the clashes.

Portuguese rival gangs clash

LISBON, Portugal Hundreds of young rival gang members armed with machetes, sticks and stones skir­ mished early Sunday in the Fast Timorese capital, Dili. At least four people were hurt and unconfirmed reports said one person was killed, according to the Portuguese news agency Lusa. U.N. police and troops were deployed to quell the violent street clashes, Lusa said. The skirmishes lasted several hours until nightfall, Lisbon radio TSF said. Brawls first broke out at a soccer stadium where a martial arts demonstration was tak­ ing place, Lusa said.

W o m e n ’s S oftball Belles manage one win in two weekend doubleheaders

By KATIE McVOY Assistant Sports Editor . j ...... ■ 7,1 -1 - -■

The Softbelles had a less than satisfying home stand this weekend, finishing 3-1 at the SMC Classic. Saint Mary's faced off against Alma College on Friday, dropping both games by large run margins. The Belles lost the first game 11-2, then the second 11-3. Game 1 Sophomore Kristin Martin pitched the first game of the dou­ Alma College 11 bleheader, and junior Anne Saint Mary’s 2 Senger pitched the second game. Martin came into to relieve Game 2 Senger near the end of the sec­ Alma College 11 ond game. Saint Mary's 3 “We weren’t hitting very well, ” senior Elise Hall said. “But the Game 3 loss was really due to the fact Wisconsin-Oshkosh 8 that we were playing against the No. 1 team in the conference. It Saint Mary’s 3 really wasn't anything we did.” Game 4 Alma came into this weekend’s St. Mary’s 9 tournament with a 13-1 MIAA league record and a 34-6 overall Wisconsin-Oshkosh 3 record, leading the MIAA. The Belles faired slightly better in tne tair weatner on Sunday, facing University of Wisconsin-Oskosh. Saint Mary’s looked weak in the first game, dropping it 8-3, despite a good pitching effort by Martin. Not wanting to leave the weekend on a bad note, however, they came back to win the second game of the double header 9-3. “Our bats really came alive [Sunday! during the sec­ ond game,” Hall said. “We looked a lot better.” Rachel Deer and Melissa Hayes both hit well for the Belles. Hayes went 6-7 on the weekend, boosting Saint Mary’s offense. Sunday marked the last home game for the senior Belles on the softball team. “It was a very sentimental day for the seniors,” Hall said. “And it was good to end on a win.” Saint Mary's plays its last regular season game on Tuesday at Grand Valley State University at 4:00. The Belles will not attend the MIAA league championships NELLIE WILLIAMS/The Observer Batting for Saint Mary’s suffered in the first three games of two doubleheaders, but the women were able to because they did not finish as one of the top four teams in the league. avoid a winless weekend when they defeated University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh 9-3 Sunday.

F ootball Team unity pushes Irish through Blue and Gold game

By TIM CASEY Assistant Sports Editor

Fresh off a 5-7 campaign which included a few embar­ rassing off the field incidents, the Notre Dame coaches and players came together this off­ season and formed a leader­ ship committee. This leadership committee included approx­ imately 15 play- Gold 39 ers who were responsible for Blue 31 creating team unity and more open commu­ nication among coaches and players. “it’s not to separate us from the rest of the team,” said Arnaz Battle, a committee m em ber. “It just gives the coaches a chance to hear what the players feel and know what’s going on.” “There were some incidents that could have been prevent­ ed last year,” Battle said. “We’ve tried to not have that distract us going into the sea­ son. We’ve got to look out for each other. Every little thing you do goes to the media and gets out in the public so we try to keep things clean, do what’s right and get rid of the dis­ tractions.” On Saturday, 14.135 fans had a chance to see the 2000 Irish for the first time since November in the annual Blue- Gold game. Was this game the result of the new emphasis on team cohesion? It’s tough to tell. KEVIN DALUM/The Observer Unlike in years past, Rising senior defensive end No. 44 Grant Irons anticipates acting as a team leader in the fall, possibly as a captain. The Notre Dame defense defeated the offensive squad Saturday, gaining 39 points through a complex method of scoring that assigns spe­ see FOOTBALL/page 18 cific point values for defensive plays and situations.
