WASHINGTON American and British forces unleashed punishing air strikes Sunday against military targets and Osama bin Laden's training camps inside Afghanistan, aim­ ing at terrorists blamed for the Sept. 11 attacks that murdered thousands in New York and Washington.

"We will not falter and we will not fail." The opening of a sustained campaign dubbed "Enduring Freedom," the assault was accompanied by airdrops of thousands of vitamin-enriched food rations for needy civilians -- and by a ground-based AFP Photo attack by Afghan opposition An F1 A-18C Hornet Is launched from the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson Sunday In preparation for strikes against al Qaeda forces against the ruling terrorist training camps and Tallban military Installations In Afghanistan.

By MARY CAMPE News Writer

Students, faculty, staff and community members joined at Saint Mary's Moreau Galleries Friday to help open three new exhibits. The exhibits included photography, paintings, sculp­ tures, ceramics and col­ lectibles. "Letters from Camp: An Exhibition Blurring the Boundaries Between Good Taste and Bad," was a collec­ tion of work in the Hammes Gallery in the Moreau Arts Center. The exhibit presents the wo-rks of artists who use images or items associated with popular culture, such as Pez dispensers and B-movies. Some pieces included old movie posters and contempo­ rary political aspects. One artist, Dave Huffman, had his "Art For Your Can" on display. This included different toilet seats decorated to display dif­ ferent events, images and themes from the past in a style he stated as "inspired from Warhol's Pop Art to John Waters films." "This is a splendid opening," said Saint Mary's sophomore Daniela Urns.

But John Lennon put it best: imagine. Imagine if everyone drove on the right side of the road and you didn't have to fear for your life every time you crossed the street in London. Imagine if every country learned to bake bread from the French, and we could all walk to work with $.80 baguettes tucked under our arms. Imagine if we all boycotted the monstrosity that is McDonald's. United, we could make way for good and real food across the world. Globalism could become a beautiful thing. In all seriousness though, the idea of unifying and improving our global com­ munity is exactly what drove the European Union to develop the Euro. After New Year's rolls around this winter, the Euro will be the legal currency for 11 coun­ tries: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. Needless to say, each country has faced its own uproar over whether or not to join the Euro train, and France is no exception. All menus and advertisements must now show prices in both francs and Euros. Starting Jan. 1, francs will no longer be legal tender. Old men gripe about it in cafes and newspapers bemoan the loss of the good ol' franc, but the change will make life simpler in many ways. Traveling throughout Europe will become a breeze - one stop at an ATM will be all you need. And Americans will no longer have to suffer through all that long division when paying for pasta in Italy or Guiness in Ireland, since the Euro is roughly equivalent to $1. Of course, all that pretty foreign money will become nothing but collector's r. items, but the Euro will make commerce and travel within the European Union i infinitely easier. It will be interesting to see where the new currency takes Europe. Will it become the massive, unified European state that some fear? Or will some coun­ tries regret their decision to join? In any case, the Euro seems to be hinting at a l new age in Europe. Maybe decent showers aren't far behind.

WOMEN'S SOCCER Irish split conference games

By JEFF BAL TRUZAK Assistant Sports Editor

It was a weekend of things both familiar and unfamiliar for the third-ranked Notre Dame women's soccer team. The Irish expe­ rienced a rare loss in Big East play on Friday night at Rutgers 2-1, dropping only their fourth Big East game since joining the con­ ference in 1995. Sunday's 2-1 win at Seton Hall saw a recurring theme for Notre Dame, namely a late, game-winning goal in a game the Irish clearly dominated throughout. 1 "(The loss] was a wake-up call," freshman ' ) forward Candace Chapman said. "We'll be able to bounce back from it. I think it was good in that i.t showed us what could happen I if we don't put teams away and [create] more -~ urgency in scoring." Just getting to New Jersey on Friday proved to be a struggle. The team missed its con­ necting flight in Pittsburgh Thur~day night, and was forced to catch a few hours of quick ir . sleep in an airport hotel before flying to Newark early Friday morning. "I think we should be ready for every game 1 no matter what happens before," Chapman said. The Irish opened up the Rutgers game with uncharacteristically soft defense. Scarlet l,, Knight midfielder Carli Lloyd victimized the Irish backline for two goals within the first ten minutes, putting Notre Dame in a quick 2-0 hole, a hole the Irisb offense could never fill. "[They scored] right off the bat ... that was really surprising," Chapman said. Lloyd scored her first goal off a set corner play by Erica Schubert. Schubert put the ball in play with a low kick that made it through the Irish defense and found the freshman RICO CASARES!The Observer Notre Dame freshman Mary Boland leaps to block the kick of a West Virginia player earlier in the season.

THE Monday, October 8, 200 1 OBSERVER Notre Dame 24, Pittsburgh 7 ·Inae lnsh make big plays and get big breaks as they earn their first win of the season

By NOAH AMSTADTER Sports Editor

With a little more than three minutes remaining in the third quarter Saturday afternoon, everything seemed destined to fall apart once again for the Irish football team. With the Irish leading 10-7, Pittsburgh quarterback David Priestley completed a 20-yard pass to R.J. English to give the Panthers first-and -10 at the Irish 26-yard line. The next play, Priestley hit English at midfield with nothing in front of him but the endzone. But then, with Pittsburgh just a yard away from taking a 13-10 lead, something happened. The football slipped away from English's hands mid­ stride and fell right into the hands of Irish defensive back Abram Elam at the 1-yard line. "At that point they were going in there for the go­ ahead touchdown," Irish head coach Rob Davie said. "The next thing you know, we're going the other way with the ball." Three plays later, Irish quarterback Carlyle Holiday slipped through the Panthers' defense, broke two tack­ les and sprinted 67 yards into the endzone to give the Irish a 17-10 lead. "They sort of stretched the offense out and I just sort of cut back. I thought I was down, but I just kept on going, rushing out of there," Holiday said. "It caught me by surprise." Notre Dame added a fourth-quarter touchdown by Julius Jones, his second of the game, for a 24-7 victory, Notre Dame's first of the season. "I told our team, 'Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better,"' Davie said. "Let's face it, that's what this game is. Strange things can happen. Momentum's a funny thing." For an Irish team coming into Saturday's game 0-3 for the first time in its storied history, the change in momentum was just what the doctor ordered. "After the game, you don't need to say much," Davie said. "Those hugs and those smiles say about all that needs to be said. I'm not going to get too dramatic about it; we're a 1-3 football team. But it's a heck a lot better than being an 0-4 football team." The positives began on Pittsburgh's first possession of the game. In each of Notre Dame's three losses, the opposing team scored on its opening drive. Saturday, Pittsburgh got only three plays of before Priestley's deep second-and-18 pass fell right into Elam's hands. Elam's interception would be the first of five turnovers converted by the IriSh offense on the after­ noon. Elam's recovered fumble, along with intercep­ tions by Shane Walton and Anthony Weaver and a recovered fumble by Courtney Watson provided the Irish with solid field position and kept a potentially potent Panther offense away from the end zone. Weaver added three tackles for a loss and one of Notre Dame's three quarterback sacks. "For us, it's about creating turnovers on defense," Davie said. "When you play two straight games without a turnover, I think the offense - they're not going to back away from the heat they've got ...
