Women in Irish Oral Tradition Oral storytelling, traditional singing and other verbal arts can offer ways of thinking and knowing that are independent of the linear modes of writing and print. Moreover, like other kinds of art, oral tradition offers individuals and communities ways of constructing and maintaining identity, often against considerable external pressure. This course will explore oral verbal art in Irish and English, through tran scribed texts, sound recordings and film, paying particular attention to depictions of and performances by women, and offering gendered readings of the material studied. We will examine and discuss a number of genres of oral verbal art, including the International Folktale, Legends of the Supernatural, and Lament Poetry, and will also pay attention to the use of this material by twentieth-century writers. Translations of Irish-language texts will be available, so no prior knowledge of Irish is required. page 4 The Observer + NEWS Thursday, April 15, 2004

"At the start of the year, they all came in to see me and they individually gave me their rea sons why they were going to be different as seniors and why the program was going to go back to where it had been in 2002," Coyne said. Kinnik vowed not to sit idle and watch her team disintegrate into disappointment. Having tasted success earlier in her career, she was not about to let one year of disappointment get in her way. "Our team is very good this year getting through adversity," she said. "By the underclassmen seeing that we keep pushing through it, we don't stop, that keeps them going too." Dealing with hardship has helped the Irish battle through the times when they are not at their best. The season opener against the California, a 12-11 overtime win, sticks out as par ticularly significant, especially to Kinnik. "That was a game we should have won very easily," she said. "[We told ourselves] that you just need to move on. You need to get over the fact that it didn't go' exactly how you wanted it to go." And move on they did, winning nine more games and landing in the second spot in the polls with a 10-0 record, both firsts in Notre Dame history. For Simon, the success is a direct result of the team's unity of purpose and the way teammates have gelled. "It's fun to be a leader for these people, people who just want to be led, who want what I want," she said. "That's what wins the championships. Everyone wants the same thing and we're all happy going after it." And it is Coyne's dearest hope that if there is one thing the underclassmen take away from this year's senior class, it will be their exemplary leadership. "I think the seniors of this class look back on [the first recruiting class] as the type of behavior they wanted to emu late," she said. "I hope that these younger players look to this class and say This is how I want to do it' and have it become part of a tradition of the program."
