Fashion by Felicia

Fashion, as we know, takes many forms. There are so many styles, labels, designers and trends to make us run mad. There is, however, one universal element of fashion — it is a non-verbal, visual language. No matter what you wear, your clothes communicate what is important to you and what you hold most dear. Here at Notre Dame, there's one activity that drives our tradition more than any other — football. While we may be saying farewell to tailgates, pep rallies and cheers until next season, there's no reason we can't carry football's importance to us on our sleeves, literally. What though the odds be great or small, wearing plaid in memory of the Irish Guard, gold pants in honor of our awesome players and military jackets inspired by our band can win over all. So, let's cheer for old Notre Dame and wake up the fashionista's echoes cheering her name, while our loyal style-setting spirits go fashionably marching onward to our own life's victories.

CripSlam ND talks about disabilities

Academic scholarship and fine arts performance collide Thursday in a unique three-part project at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center called CripSlam ND. The event includes a pre-talk about disabilities in movies and in society, a performance of John Milton's "Samson Agonistes" and a post-performance panel and reception about the work.

Nandita Raman brings Indian movie theaters to ND

It would be safe to bet that 99 percent of students at Notre Dame have been to at least one movie theater in their lives. From that large pool, however, only a very small minority will have seen a film in India. Nandita Raman's award-winning "Cinema Play House," a series of 14 photographs of historic Indian movie theaters that are on display at the Snite Museum of Art through Dec. 4, offers these students a unique opportunity to learn more about the rise and decline of Indian cinema.

This fashionista has a confession to make: I own a pair of yoga pants. Shocking, I know, but I am human (although in most fashion boutiques I feel Divine, but that's another column). I try not to call too much attention to them in the hopes of one day redeeming myself in my inevitable future meeting with Anna Wintour, but there's no hiding it.

The end has finally come. Be it the end of your childhood or the end of those incessantly annoying fanatics who talk about horcruxes and Muggles, the end of "Harry Potter" on screen has arrived.

FTT presents new play at DPAC

In everything it does, Notre Dame loves being a campus of "firsts." This week the Department of Film, Television, and Theatre (FTT) will present the first workshop production of Anne García-Romero's newest play "Provenance," giving the Notre Dame community a chance to be its first audience.

Growing Up Potter

Fate, and constantly pestering my parents, would have it that I was in the middle of a European tour when the seventh and final "Harry Potter" book was released. It gave me quite a bit of pause when I realized those two dates coincided. Not enough to, say, cancel my trip to Europe, but enough to develop an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Rome, the Eternal Classroom

When students think of a classroom, they picture an area enclosed by four walls, with a door and perhaps a window and desks. However, for many of the Notre Dame students studying abroad in Rome at John Cabot University this semester, the opportunity to escape the confines of a building is presented in the form of "on-site" classes. Instead of being enclosed by four walls, the Eternal City itself becomes the classroom.
