As record snowfall blanketed most of the northern United States, a group of 350 Notre Dame students traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend the annual March for Life.

If you are religious, you do not have the luxury to be apolitical. So many people say that they do not align with a party and instead align themselves with Christ. There is nothing inherently wrong with this statement. Jesus is bigger than party politics, and to be a true follower of Christ is to separate oneself from the world. But that does not mean separating yourself from injustice.
The Judicial Council released its list of qualified candidates for the student body presidency on Monday in an email to the Notre Dame student body. The announcement comes after a nine-day petitioning process, after which two presidential candidates qualified for the ballot.

While the demonstrations have often been framed as a response to recent economic collapse, experts say the unrest must be understood within a longer history of strained international relations and domestic repression.
I have a complex relationship with the idea of birthday celebrations. On one hand, I see the value of celebrating the gift (and mystery) of life and the anniversary of one’s birth. On the other hand, I could reasonably see the uselessness of doing so. Yes, to celebrate the astonishing miracle of my existence, I could inebriate myself beyond human capacity at Newfs, donning a tiara and celebratory pink sash. Or, I just treat myself to a solo dinner date at Franky’s Tacos in Mishawaka: the chimichanga and free chips and salsa could never disappoint me or break my heart.

The Fighting Irish men’s basketball team put together a solid performance in their most recent game, a 68-64 victory over the Boston College Eagles. The leader in scoring in that contest was junior guard Braeden Shrewsberry, with 22 points, his third game with 20-plus points on the year. For a Notre Dame team that has certainly had its fair share of struggles this season, Shrewsberry has been a bright spot for them.
Who needs to descend on Park City, Utah for Sundance when we have a film festival right here on our campus? This past weekend, the Notre Dame Department of Film, Television, and Theatre presented the 37th Annual Notre Dame Student Film Festival. The festival offers FTT students an opportunity to showcase their filmmaking chops while revealing what preoccupies our next generation of filmmakers. And the preoccupations ran deep: phone addiction, fraught relationships with parents and Gen Z’s fear of romantic commitment. All of the films contained real talent and demonstrated that FTT is effectively incubating artists with creativity and insight. Some personal highlights for me included the following:
After becoming a critical darling and winning five Emmys, HBO Max’s “The Pitt” returns for a second season, which delivers more incredible television. Instead of just another day in the emergency room, we now follow Dr. Michael ‘Robby’ Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) on his last day before a three-month sabbatical, which also happens to be the fourth of July. The first three episodes take us from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., roughly ten months after the first season ended. Like every second season, we return to the old characters while also meeting some new ones.

It was a weekend of highs and lows for Notre Dame hockey, which split its first series of the season with the Ohio State Buckeyes 4-2 and 6-1. With another heartbreaking loss on Friday, the Irish returned Saturday with a vengeance to earn their first conference win of the season and end their 10-game losing streak.
The latest chapter of the storied Holy War rivalry went Notre Dame’s way on Saturday night at Purcell Pavilion after a chaotic second-half comeback propelled the Irish to victory over the Boston College Eagles.
