Notre Dame hockey struggled to find the back of the net in a weekend series at Compton Family Ice Arena, falling to Michigan 5-3 on Friday and 2-1 in overtime on Saturday. The Irish generated scoring chances throughout both games but were unable to consistently convert against a disciplined and efficient Wolverines roster. Notre Dame is now 3-4-1 overall and 0-2-0 in Big Ten play, while Michigan improved to 9-1 and 2-0 in conference competition.

On the first weekend of fall break, the Saint Mary’s College theater department organized a trip to New York for theater majors and minors as well as fashion and costume minors to see some Broadway shows. This was my first time seeing anything on Broadway and my first time in New York, outside of the airport at least. On the first night, one group saw “Death Becomes Her” while the other saw “Wicked.” On Saturday afternoon, one group saw “Six” while the other saw “Chicago.” That evening, there were three shows. One group saw “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” another saw “The Great Gatsby,” and the third saw “Six.”

Between missed extra points, muffed punts and failed punt fakes, special teams had an afternoon to forget in windy Boston. While the Irish ultimately earned the 25-10 victory against Boston College, their special teams unit had glaring problems in the kicking department. The Irish went 1-for-3 on extra points between three kickers and had other notable issues that must be solved if this team is to make the College Football Playoff.

Socialism is a political and economic theory that states the community, rather than individuals, should own and control the means of production. Now, that is a blanket definition — and like most things, it’s just not that simple. There’s revolutionary socialism (closest to Marxism), democratic socialism and social democracy. Most strands of socialism advocate at the very least for a mixed economy. In observing the New York City mayoral election, I’ve noticed that socialism and communism seem to be utilized as political slurs. Mamdani describes himself as a democratic socialist, yet the ‘c’ word seems to be thrown around to describe him. Mamdani is not advocating a centrally planned economy; thus, he cannot be a communist. As a democratic socialist, he definitely has socialist elements to his political philosophy, but if communism and revolutionary socialism are far-left, a democratic socialist is creeping far closer to the center of the political scale.

With less than a minute remaining in the third quarter on Saturday in Chestnut Hill, Mass., Notre Dame was staring at a potentially season-crushing upset at the hands of one-win Boston College. After struggling in all three phases for nearly three quarters of an hour, the Irish offense had the ball leading by two after a nearly 12-minute Eagles scoring drive. Notre Dame was in desperate need of points and leadership. Both were needed fast to save the season and continue the College Football Playoff push.

Going from high school to college, we are expected to be in tune with our social life. This means hanging out with friends when you don’t have work to catch up on, studying with them, going out to parties and regularly planning and talking to one another on a somewhat daily basis. But what if that wasn’t the case? What if you have a group of friends, but you don’t hang out much or talk to them regularly? What if you don’t like parties and would rather spend time relaxing and turning on a movie to unwind from the week?

This morning, I attended the 9:30 a.m. Mass at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, which celebrated the Commemoration of All Souls, one of the most popular and characteristic Catholic feasts. For this Mass, the rector of the Basilica — Fr. Brian Ching — presided as celebrant, and the Notre Dame Liturgical Choir, along with a small orchestra, performed the famous “Requiem in D Minor” by W. A. Mozart. I have several students who sing in the Liturgical Choir, so I knew that they had been preparing for this day for quite some time. In fact, I had known since my orientation as a new faculty member in August that the Liturgical Choir was planning this great musical work for Nov. 2: Fr. Ching had told me about these plans himself, while the Congregation of Holy Cross warmly welcomed the new faculty into Corby Hall for a lovely reception and dinner. I was impressed by the joyful and collaborative spirit that Fr. Ching exuded when speaking of the work of the Liturgical Choir, and I recognized it as the same kind of spirit I witnessed in his predecessor, the Fr. Peter Rocca, when I worked as a musician at the Basilica myself. “Not much has changed,” I thought to myself, and the warm memories returned.

Following the bye week, Notre Dame headed east to face the 1-7 Boston College Eagles. The contest marked the first of three consecutive road tests for the Irish.

Marcus Freeman and No. 12 Notre Dame overcame a comedy of errors, including turnovers, penalties and missed kicks to claim the Frank Leahy Memorial Bowl over Catholic rival Boston College for the 10th straight time. For the better part of 45 minutes, the Irish appeared inconvenienced to have to share the field with the 1-7 Eagles, who made just as many dumbfounded mistakes as their counterparts. Notre Dame was unable to create separation until star junior running back Jeremiyah Love saved his team and boosted his Heisman candidacy with a 94-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to seal the 25-10 Holy War victory.

Notre Dame women’s soccer finished their regular season tonight. It’s final record will go down as 13-1-2 and 8-1-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. It’s one loss came in their final game of the regular season against Pittsburgh. The team went into the game ranked No. 1. Regardless of the devastating loss, the Irish played an incredibly impressive season, proving each game that their athleticism, skill and chemistry can compete against any team. No doubt the Irish will come out hungry in the post-season.
