This year we have chosen to focus on a variety of disabili- ties.” According to Quatman, the goal of the week is to bring understanding to the variety of disabilities that exist. “We would like to make everyone aware of what it is like to have a disability and promote the understand- ing of the challenges that people with disabilities face,” she said. More than raising aware- ness, she said they also hope to bring a respect for those who have a disability. “We hope to encourage sen- sitivity about what it’s truly like to be a person with dis- abilities in a society that does not fully embrace their capa- bilities,” Quatman said. “We also really wanted to publi- cize the Disabilities Center provided at Saint Mary’s.” Quatman said this follows SDB’s goal of showing the value of all diversity on cam- pus. “SDB recognizes that every person is diverse and con- tributes to making our com- munity a better place,” she said. “Disabilities Awareness Week relates to our mission in that the events we promote emphasize equality and rec- ognize the value of all peo- ples.” All events are open to everyone on campus. “Everyone is encouraged to come to all of our events,” she said. “We also hope that people are aware of the Disabilities Center on Saint Mary’s campus. There will be more information about it at our Disabilities Awareness table in the Atrium all next week.” Contact Ashley Charnley at [email protected]

I won’t be living in Cavanaugh, but I’ll be living in an apartment surrounded by students from all over the world. I won’t experience the joys of spring after a South Bend winter, but I won’t have to suffer through the winter in the first place. I won’t be able to attend Pigtostal, but I’ll be raging in bars across Europe without the added worry of being arrest- ed. And I’ll miss my friends more than anything else, but I’ll make new ones.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wanted: Valentine’s date Fitness

As a senior in my last semester here at Notre Dame, I have become very familiar with the term “bucket list.” The items on my list usually aren’t well thought out or deeply meditated on; rather they are usually just influenced by my surroundings. For example, I walked by Stepan and thought, “I need to climb Stepan resolutions before I graduate, or before they tear that building down. Whichever comes first.” Similarly, while shopping in CVS yesterday to buy some shampoo and conditioner, I noticed that the sea- Dear New Year’s Resolutionists: sonal aisle was Valentine’s Day themed. I immediately added one more thing to my bucket list: Take a girl I support you in deciding to make a change. on a real Valentine’s date. Statistically, however, most of you will fail.

Jose Torres Purcell Pavilion First Year Law off campus Feb. 4 Last year, the numbers of Luke Harangody and Ruth Riley were retired in the rafters of the Purcell Pavilion. I think this was a good idea, but I believe there are two more numbers that need to be retired. Those are the numbers of Austin Carr and Adrian Dantley, because they both were really good. I could do some research and throw in some of their statistics from when they played at Notre Dame, but I don't want to.

While everyone else on campus is busy bundling up and trudging through the snow, the hunky men of Siegfried will be out there Wednesday wearing nothing but T-shirts, shorts and flip flops (P.S. boys — wearing a shirt is totally optional, just sayin’). And if showing off their wind-chafed skin and snow- frozen hair wasn’t enough, these boys are doing it for a good cause. Siegfried’s finest are being cold for one day to raise money for the South Bend Center for the Homeless. I had been saving up to buy a new pair of Uggs, but I think I’ll bring all my loose change with me on Wednesday to show these guys how much I love their rippling abs and bulging biceps.
