Last week, we were blessed with a glimpse of summer — a marvelous two days hitting over 65 degrees. Every moment we spent awake those two days felt like paradise. We were given a few hours to recapture that feeling of the first few weeks of the fall semester, where the quads were verdant, spikeball games were plentiful and pants were yet to be ingrained in campus fashion. And while fool’s spring has come and gone, the vibes of warm weather and summer feelings don’t have to depart with it.

Grayson Beckham penned an opinion piece in The Observer on Feb. 24. In the article, Beckham casts numerous aspersions about Notre Dame College Republicans (NDCR), all of which fail to find their mark. It is gratifying to see the meticulous attention our Democratic colleague devotes to the Notre Dame College Republicans’ communications. As the preeminent political organization on campus, we welcome such scrutiny — it highlights our central role in fostering substantive discourse amid widespread superficiality. Unfortunately, Beckham’s column relies on cherry-picked excerpts and inflammatory caricatures rather than engaging our actual arguments. His argument is functionally a strawman, a misrepresentation of what our position actually is. A fairer reading would expose the inconsistencies in his narrative, revealing not Republican bias, as he claims, but a deliberate evasion of inconvenient truths.

In the summer of 2013, Notre Dame’s preeminent tennis player of the ’90s, Ryan Sachire, took over the men’s head coaching job from Bobby Bayliss, marking a new chapter for a team with a long and respected history at college’s highest level. The following spring, the Irish ended the season ranked No. 13 in the ITA rankings, their best finish in decades. In the NCAA Championship, Notre Dame reached the Sweet 16, another testament to the success of the Sachire method.

For weeks, I have watched the opinions and outrage roll in over the appointment of professor Susan Ostermann to be the director of the Liu Institute. The outrage over a qualified professor’s personal beliefs on abortion and reproductive health raises many questions for me. While professor Ostermann has now decided to step back from the opportunity, I am left to wonder about this university’s priorities.

After losing all three attacking starters from their previous season, the 2026 Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team was going to need someone to step up on offense. For the first three games of the season the solution has been a graduate transfer from Air Force, forward Josh Yago. He has nine goals and four assists this year and has been the key leader for an offense that now leads college lacrosse in goals per game.

Notre Dame’s football program is one of tradition, legend and lore, and much of its legacy is thanks to coach Knute Rockne. His name is all over campus, from the Rockne Memorial on South Quad to the Notre Dame Stadium’s main gate. But how much do you know about the man’s life beyond football? Right now, The History Museum, located in downtown South Bend, is having a special exhibition on the coach: “Rockne: Life & Legacy.” Rockne’s life was far deeper than athletics, and the exhibit wonderfully provides a holistic view of a man who forever changed Notre Dame.

By now, hundreds of news stories and social media posts have shared the story of Punch, a young monkey in the Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan. Abandoned by his mother, Punch was given a stuffed monkey to cope with because the other monkeys wouldn’t accept him either. As a freshman in college, I relate to Punch the monkey on a deep level. I wasn’t abandoned by my mother at birth, but coming to college is essentially that; it’s a forced separation from family, and my only hope was and is to find new people.

Twenty-five years ago, Notre Dame hoisted its first national championship in program history under head coach Muffet McGraw and behind all-American point guard Niele Ivey. The trophy came after five of 23 consecutive Irish tournament appearances and was followed by a second title in 2018. Now, Ivey sits at the helm in her sixth season as head coach — and for the past two, she has been blessed with arguably the greatest player in Notre Dame history in junior point guard Hannah Hidalgo. However, though the Irish earned tourney berths in five out of Ivey’s six years and each of Hidalgo’s first-team All-American seasons, the program has not displayed the same level of excellence that McGraw made characteristic of the program. Thus far in this campaign, the trend of “good but not great” continues.
