Jay Smith, Student Body Chief of Staff said the pro­ gram is currently under the process of being revamped that will include re-naming based on the negative stigma placed on it because of its inefficiencies in the past “It’s unreliable; it’s inconsistent; and so we’re looking towards creating the same type of service which will be reliable and consistent and something that will be able to happen for years to come," said Smith. “ We have to figure out ways to publicize it and make it fashionable ' - again and that’s one of the reasons we’re looking into renam ing.” Past problems have been attributed to low worker turnouts as well as low student body participation. “The first time when 1 used it sometimes it took a long time, and I think that’s maybe why students didn’t use it.

The K eough Institute fo r Irish Studies University of Notre Dame

Presents a lecture History as Myth The Return o f the Hero By

Breandan O Buachalla The Visiting O ’Donnell Chair in Irish Studies

7:00 P.M . November 29, 2000 McKenna Hall Auditorium (CCE)

The phenomenon of the 'sleeping hero' seems to be a universal theme in folklore and mythology, Arthur in Britain, Charlemagne in France, Barbarossa in Germany being the best known reflexes of this ubiquitous myth. In this O'Donnell lecture Prof. Breandan O Buachallla studies the Irish evidence as reflected in Irish folklore and literature and locates the Irish versions of the myth in their historical context.

Breandan O Buachallais the leading expert in the literature and ideology of early modem Ireland. He has published widely on the impact of the Counter-Reformation on Irish political thought, on early modern historiography, on the cult of the Stuarts as reflected in Irish literature, and on Jacobite rhetoric and ideology. The University of Notre Dame and The Keough Institute for Irish Studies are delighted to have Breandan O Buachalla as this year's O'Donnell Chair for Irish Studies.

By MIKE CONNOLLY Sports W riter

LOS ANGELES “Student Body Right” may have been torn from the Southern California playbook and “Tailback U” is just a dis­ tant memory for the 2000 Trojan fans but the Irish knew that if they wanted to beat the Trojans, they had to stop run­ ning back Sultan McCullough. The sophomore rushed for 1,149 yards before entering the game and averaged more than 5 yards-per-carry. He fin­ ished the afternoon with only 14 yards on 10 carries. “Probably the biggest sur­ prise in the ball game was our inability to run," the now-fired head coach of USC Paul Hackett said after the game. “Without a running game against a team like Notre Dame, you’re really going to struggle.” The Irish defensive line con­ trolled the line of scrimmage throughout the game and plugged nearly every hole in the Trojan front. Defensive tackles BJ Scott and Lance Legree along with defensive ends Ryan Roberts and Tony Weaver combined for six tack­ les for loss. They also sacked USC q u a rte rb a c k C arson Palmer four times and forced a fumble.
