Now & Then

Notre Dame announces its commencement speaker at no specific time. But since the University typically makes the announcement a few months before the ceremony, we shouldn't have to wait much longer to hear who will send off the class of 2012. Though I don't know who will show up in May, based on history, I can speculate who won't be giving a speech.

Student Stand-ups entertain and delight

For the last five years, the Notre Dame Student Stand-ups Club has been giving students a stage on which to joke about relationships, childhood, annoyances and every other aspect of their lives.

Notre Dame Loves Carly Rae Jepson

In case the rock you live under doesn't have Wi-Fi, allow me to let you in on a Notre Dame secret — campus has been infected with the YouTube sensation "Call Me Maybe," the sugar-sweet pop confection sung by Canadian Idol contestant Carly Rae Jepson.

The Best of the Dance Dare
