Poet shares inspiration for work Poet Emily Schulten discusses how her roots inform her poetry in College lecture By SARA SCHLECHT and GINA TWARDOSZ News Writers
On Thursday night, poet Emily Schulten shared her work with the Saint Mary’s community. At the reading, Schulten discussed her life in the Florida Keys, from lore about pirate smuggling to her wedding crasher: Hurricane Irma. Schulten said she has always been interested in the poetic nature of words, but decided to pursue journalism, then international business while in college, but, after three years, she realized her mistake. “I was always playing with words from a young age,” she said. “As far as, why I chose [poetry] to express myself, I think I chose it to express myself more
when I was young and there were no structures I had to conform to. Now that I have been studying poetry and doing publishing and editing for so long, it feels like it’s not a vehicle for expression so much as it’s a vehicle for communication. I’m more concerned with the voices who will hear it and how it will be reflective for them.” Schulten’s work is very narrative-based and personal, often revolving around what fascinates her in that moment. During her reading, she focused on the history of the Florida Keys and the generational nature of the residents who have lived there for the past 15 to 20 years. “Generational themes are see POETRY PAGE 4
Keough School aims for greater student outreach By TOM NAATZ Associate News Editor
Since its establishment as Notre Dame’s newest school last academic year, the Keough School of Global Affairs has been extending its reach to undergraduates. In addition to its master’s program for graduate students, administrators hope the school will open global opportunities for undergraduates and globalize Notre Dame. Ted Beatty, the Keough School’s associate dean for academic affairs, said the school had three goals in mind when it was established. “The University, six years ago, made the decision to create the Keough School, partly to expand globally oriented programs on campus — research programs, teaching programs — that already existed. That was one goal,” Beatty said. “The second goal was to increase the

international profile of Notre Dame, generally, and to try and globalize the campus. A third goal was to focus on policy issues. We have people from departments — political science, economics, sociology, etc. — in the Keough School. All that exists in Arts and Letters and elsewhere, as well. Our specialty, though, is to focus on critical issues of the 21st Century and policy issues surrounding them.” Another one of the main ideas behind the school’s founding, Beatty said, was to consolidate a series of existing programs and institutes in one school. “We bring together these seven institutes and centers that already existed and bring them together under one roof and try to support the programs they already have and build programs on top of that,” he said. see KEOUGH PAGE 4

County reverses policy Observer Staff Report
GINA TWARDOSZ | The Observer
Poet Emily Schulten speaks on how her poetry is influenced by life in the Florida Keys in a talk on Thursday in Vander Vennet Theatre.
St. Joseph County will cancel and then renegotiate a recently announced agreement with Notre Dame that would have allowed the University to conduct its own health inspection for oncampus food establishments, the South Bend Tribune reported Thursday. On Wednesday, David Keckley, the county Board of Health’s attorney, said the renegotiated agreement would seek to make the University’s health inspection reports publicly available. see INSPECTIONS PAGE 4
Campus Ministry expands ‘Need to Talk’ program By ALEXANDRA MUCK News Writer
During Lent last year, Campus Ministry expanded its Need to Talk program to give students the opportunity to simply come chat with someone or seek advice during a wider range of hours. After the program’s success last
year, Campus Ministry decided to permanently expand its hours to 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. every Monday through Thursday. Sessions take place in 113 Coleman-Morse Center. Mike Urbaniak, the assistant director of pastoral care for Campus Ministry, said in an email that the mission of the
program is simple. “[W]e’re just here to listen and to help folks on their journey, and at times refer them to other trusted resources on campus,” he said. Though the program is housed under Campus Ministry, see MINISTRY PAGE 3
Cavanaugh Hall residents known for history, spirit By ERIN SWOPE News Writer
Editor’s note: This article is one in a series profiling the dorms. Previous articles have covered dorms built before Cavanaugh Hall.

events, like Cavanaugh Cornhole and their “Ready, Set, Glow” run. But what Cavanaugh’s 211 residents seem to be most proud of is the community they have fostered in their building. “We support each other. We look out for each other,” junior Emma Brady, one of Cavanaugh Hall’s four co-presidents, said. Junior Madi McGhee, another one of Cavanaugh’s co-presidents echoed this sentiment. “We’re a special breed here …

We have upperclassmen who genuinely love the dorm … and want to connect with girls of younger classes,” she said. Cavanaugh Hall was built in 1936. It was named after Fr. John W. Cavanaugh who was president of the university from 1905-1919. At the time it was built, it was expected that Cavanaugh was as far north as campus would ever extend, which is why there are see CAVANAUGH PAGE 3

College student crowned Miss Great Lakes By MARIA LEONTARAS News Writer
Saint Mary’s junior Amanda Fischer wouldn’t be where she was today without pageants. Fischer was crowned Miss Great Lakes at the beginning of September, and is now working towards winning the title of Miss Indiana. She first began competing in the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen pageant program when she was 13. Fischer said these pageants have provided her with countless opportunities, including discovering Saint Mary’s. “I was downstate [in Michigan] doing some community service work at an apple blossom festival in Niles, Michigan, that happens at the end of September,” Fischer said. “I was helping out with the fair and the parade and all that fun stuff. That weekend, I told [my pageant director] that I needed to go to Mass somewhere, and she said, ‘Oh, I’ll just take you to Notre Dame.’ … I knew nothing. … Long story short, I fell in love with the campuses, so here I am. It was all meant to be.” After a semester abroad, Fischer said she was unsure

no doors onto North Quad in Cavanaugh. In 1994, after being a men’s dorm for 58 years, Cavanaugh Hall was converted into a women’s dorm. Within the first few years, the dorm became known as the Chaos, was named Best Women’s Dorm on Campus in 2000 and 2003 and was named Hall of the Year in 2009. Despite only being a women’s dorm for 24 years, the presidents said that already Cavanaugh’s alumni network of women is starting to grow and Cavanaugh has a close knit community. “I honestly feel that any Cav girl would do anything to help another Cav girl,” Brady said. McGhee believes that small community in the dorm and the numerous Cavanugh
Ministry Continued from page 1
Urbaniak said the program is meant to offer students a chance to talk about more than just faith. “The Need to Talk ministry makes a member of our Campus Ministry staff available for anyone in need of spiritual guidance, a listening ear or conversation partner about any topic on a student’s mind or heart,” he said. “ … Obviously being a Campus
about competing in the Miss Great Lakes competition, but due to a large amount of free time in the summer, she decided to go for it. Despite her busy schedule, Fischer said she is eager to complete her duties as an advocate. “The national platform for the Miss America Organization is the Children’s Miracle Network hospitals,” she said. “I’m an advocate and spokesperson for Children’s Miracle Network. For the remainder of my year, and on campus, I’m still waiting to hear back to see if I’m on the morale committee for Dance Marathon because Dance Marathon is affiliated with the Children’s Miracle Network. It’s all connected. That’s one of the things I’m doing, just raising money in general for that at a variety of locations, like free ice cream cone day and all that jazz.” The Miss America Organization recently underwent a change in leadership that has led to a change in the competition that some see as controversial, Fischer said. The Organization has replaced the swimsuit competition with time for contestants to give a social impact
initiative statement. Fischer said her social impact initiative is Eye to Eye, a mentorship and arts based curriculum for students with attention and learning deficits. “I’m currently in the process of starting my own chapter here at Saint Mary’s and Notre Dame,” she said. “We’re going to try and partner with both of the campuses, so we can have more mentorship and co-ed mentorship to really cater to more students because that’s really what it’s about.” Fischer said the new initiative provides contestants with an avenue to make a change and is combating the pageant girl stereotype. “The new leadership of the Miss America Organization are trying to show the public that we’re way more than just a pretty face with a crown and sash on,” Fischer said. “We are actively involved in our communities, really striving to socially impact everyone around us. It’s extremely empowering, much like Saint Mary’s, actually. It empowers every contestant to find their voice. I’ve come full circle, and I couldn’t be happier with where I’m
at.” Another of Fischer’s responsibilities as Miss Great Lakes is to make appearances at community events like Girls on the Run activities and the South Bend Christmas tree lighting. She said meeting people is one of the best parts of the j ob. “I always love when little
girls come up to me and ask me to take a picture with them,” Fischer said. “I talk to them about following their dreams and be that bright light. What I really strive to be is the Miss America in this community.”
traditions help to foster this unity. “Every dorm has their traditions and it starts with your RAs and your seniors,” she said. “You walk in and they’re so welcoming and they want you to be there that it just kind of trickles down. I personally was very close with my freshman year RA so now because I loved that and that connection, I want to be that person for an underclassman. And I think that’s an environment that has been here for a while and continues to grow.” Cavanaugh hall staff and student leadership have tried to promote this camaraderie by organizing events in the dorm including Big Sis/Lil Sis, a program that matches first year and transfer students with upperclassmen, and Chat and Chew where RAs open their doors to their section every Tuesday night to
talk and share some free food. “Chat and Chew is great because it gives the dorm a chance to catch up and unwind at the start of the week,” Margaret Meserve, one of Cavanaugh’s seven RAs, said. “It’s fantastic because there really are no time constraints or the formality of like a normal section meeting. Instead, people come and go as they want … My favorite part though, both as an RA and a resident, is that Chat and Chew gives me a chance to see people that I normally only pass in the hallway.” Cavanaugh’s new rector Joanna Cecilio also hosts a similar event every Wednesday morning called “Cup of Jo” where she opens her door to chat with and feed Cavanaugh residents. A new rector is not the only change Cavanaugh is undergoing this year though. For
the first time, Cavanaugh also has four co-presidents which McGhee said, “Gives us a lot of room to try new things.” The four presidents are McGhee and Brady as well as juniors Rylie O’Meara and Emily Black. The presidents are also hoping to grow some of Cavanaugh’s events and get more of the community involved. “We are encouraging commissions to dream as big as possible … and we’re also hoping to have more commissions doing different things,” Brady said. Cavanaugh also extends its caring to organizations off campus including St. Margaret’s House and the Visitation Maternal-Child Health Center in Nairobi, Kenya which Cavanaugh’s priest in residence Fr. Bob Dowd visits every year.
At the end of the day though, whether playing interhall sports, planning recycling initiatives or studying together in the basement, Cavanaugh loves Cavanaugh, Brady said. “When I’ve had a hard day, the exciting part is that I get to come back to Cav and you know people’s doors will be open and everyone is doing homework in the basement or sitting in the hallway,” she said. “ … The unique thing is I can go out there and do whatever hard tests, anything out there, and then come home and know that these are my people. This is where I want to be.” McGhee said she agrees. “Cavanaugh is home,” she said. “It’s just the place where your family is.”
Ministry offering, we are very comfortable talking about faith, but we really find this is a ministry that is accessible and has been taken advantage of by people regardless of their experience of faith or what their faith background is.” Urbaniak said the program was originally started during Lent last year to help students develop a deeper relationship with God during the liturgical season or to discuss issues they may not have been talking about. After seeing over one person every
night, Urbaniak said Campus Ministry decided to expand the program. “[M]any of the folks we encountered were people who had no connection to Campus Ministry programming, but just needed some help or wanted some guidance,” he said. “We wanted to continue to be present to our campus in this way.” One of the best aspects of the program, Urbaniak said, is what one student called its “radical availability.” “While it’s somewhat
unfortunate that this is not always the norm in our alltoo-busy culture, I think it’s important for our students to know that there are places they can turn when they just need someone and can slow down and really talk about anything,” he said. “From how the day is going, to questions about prayer or doubts in faith, to challenging personal and family situations. This is a safe space for students where our presence with them can remind them that they are loved and valued.”
Urbaniak said students also have given the program positive feedback. Every night he has served, Urbaniak said someone visited just to say that it is comforting that such a program is being offered, even if they do not need it at the moment. “People seem to appreciate the offer of simply being present for them and creating a safe space to be themselves,” he said.

Kroc Institute hosts events for Day of Peace By LUCY LYNCH News Writer
To celebrate the 2018 International Day of Peace, the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies hosted several events Thursday and will continue its celebrations Friday, to reflect this year’s United Nations (UN) theme: “The Right to Peace: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70.” The commemoration kicked off Thursday afternoon, as scholar Thania Paffenholz lectured on the topics of conflict and inclusion in the Hesburgh Center for International Studies auditorium.

“I don’t think that’s probably a good arrangement for Notre Dame to conduct inspections and keep all their reports confidential — even if they have a right to do it,” Keckley said in the article.

hard to get away from because they’re so human, they’re tied to our emotional experience and they’re evolving in ways you can’t help but notice and pay attention to,” she said. “A lot of tradition isn’t held on as tightly to as it once was.” On her writing process, Schulten said teaching sparks ideas for many of her poems. She cites these experiences as inspiration that enables her to keep producing written works. “The best times are when you’re in a room full of students … where there’s this magic in the chemistry of the group you have, and you immediately go back to your desk and blow
and Transition Initiative at the Graduate Institute Geneva. Her lecture, which was open to the public, discussed opportunities and challenges for international and local peacemaking. Later that evening, the Kroc Institute screened “In the Name of Peace: John Hume in America” in the Hesburgh Center for International Studies Auditorium. This documentary, which aired at the Chicago Irish film festival in 2017, details the life of American John Hume and his role in the Northern Ireland peace negotiations. Erin Corcoran, executive director of the Kroc Institute, said Hume had connections to the institute. “I learned there is also a Kroc
family connection to John Hume,” she said. “In the early eighties when the Kroc Institute was getting up and running, we gave a modern day peace award and John Hume was our first recipient.” On Friday, Corcoran will moderate the panel entitled “The Status of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70,” with Kroc Institute professors and fellow scholars. The panel discussion will begin at 11:00 a.m. in the Hesburgh Center for International Studies auditorium. Featured on the panel is Diane Desierto, associate professor of Human Rights Law and Global Affairs at the Keough School;
Maurice Fitzpatrick, filmmaker of “In the Name of Peace: John Hume in America”; Jennifer Mason McAward, associate professor of law and director, Klau Center for Civil and Human Rights; and Ernesto Verdajo, associate professor of political science at Notre Dame. “We are really fortunate that the Kroc Institute and the Keough School itself have so much expertise in an array of human rights topics,” Corcoran said. Each panelist brings a unique perspective to the discussion of the Declaration of Human Rights based on their expertise. McAward will speak about the United States’ Civil Rights
movement in relation to the UN declaration, Verdajo will focus on human rights genocide and mass atrocities, Desierto will discuss how law was used to implement the Declaration and Fitzpatrick will elaborate on the topics of arts and culture in human rights. “It’s really important to raise awareness because often, when people think about peace, they think it’s just the sensation of violence and laying down arms,” Corcoran said. “But really, at the Kroc Institute it’s a lot more than that. It’s how can we create civil and just societies because without justice, there is no peace.”
the University — whatever they do — we want to offer them a way to globalize their Notre Dame education,” he said. “Of course, there are many ways they can do that outside of the Keough School — through study abroad, in departments, whether they’re a history major, or an economics major, or an architecture major, or a science major — they can do global things in those departments, and that’s wonderful. But what we do differently than departments is focus on the critical issues of the 21st century, these policy related issues.” A number of interdisciplinary
options, designed to showcase the intertwined nature of today’s world, are available to students, Beatty said. Even if students don’t have time in their schedule for a major or a minor, Beatty encouraged Notre Dame students to explore their place in the world through the Keough School. “If you’re a first-year student setting foot on campus thinking, ‘okay I want to do architecture, or engineering or political science, or whatever, but I’m interested in global issues and the ways in which the world is a globalized place,” he said. “What
happens in the United States or London or Geneva or Nigeria or China or India has ripple effects across borders.’ Students want to understand themselves as global citizens they come and look at the menu of opportunities that the Keough School is offering.” Beatty said he hopes the school continues to expand in the coming years. “We’re at the very early stages. We’re a startup,” he said. “For the next five years we’re going to continue to be a startup. We’re hiring faculty every year and expanding capacity. One
element of growth over the next five years is simply expansion of capacity — to do research, to offer curricular programs, to connect with policy issues. One aspect of that … is focusing on ways we can get undergraduates connect with, interested in, policy issues. We just opened a Washington, D.C. office this summer. We’re looking forward to ways in which we can connect undergraduates with opportunities in Washington and beyond.”
Notre Dame could do its own inspections. Keckley said the health department’s food services director, Carolyn Smith, had negotiated the agreement with the University. However, it was Notre Dame that had insisted on keeping the inspection reports confidential. Keckley stated Smith had told him that she heard from the state health department that Notre Dame could keep the reports confidential, but he did not believe that to be the case. He also said Smith reported Indiana University and all of its regional campuses do
their own inspections and keep the reports confidential. According to the article, Smith told Keckley that Indiana’s health department lets IU and “all of its regional campuses, including IUSB, to conduct inspections and keep the records confidential.” Graham McKeen, IU’s public health manager, said this information was inaccurate, as although IU does its own inspections, it makes the information publicly available. The initial agreement between Notre Dame and the county called for the county to do any
initial inspections of “new or remodeled food establishments” at the University, with the school taking over “routine” inspections from then on. The records of such inspections would have been available to the health department but not the general public. “If we’re going to have Notre Dame give us inspection reports and keep them here, we may have to turn them over on any [public] request,” Keckley said in the article. Notre Dame signaled it was willing to renegotiate the agreement, according to the article.
“[The original agreement] contains substantial errors, including language concerning access to public records,” University spokesman Dennis Brown told the Tribune. Keckley also says he believes the first deal is not valid because the department’s health officer, Luis Galup, never signed it. Only Smith signed the original deal. Since the approval of the agreement, Galup said the county health department has not received any inspection reports from Notre Dame, though it is unclear if any inspections were carried out.
off everything and write,” she said. “My students bring that out so often because we learn from other people. There’s a lot of places to learn but people, that’s where you learn things. I want to be learning when I’m writing.” In addition to her teaching career, Schulten said she looks for bits of inspiration in the writings of others. She said she combines what she gains from reading with ideas she already has in mind in order to craft works of her own. “Sometimes I’ll have an image [or] I’ll have a point I want to make but no vehicle for it,” she said. “When I’m in that situation, or when I have to write something and I can’t get started, I could pull any book of poetry off the shelf, open it to any page and halfway through the
poem, I know exactly what I’m going to write about.” Fledgling writers have such great opportunities to receive feedback on their work, Schulten said, making the experience of being in writing classes truly special. The feedback from peers, she said, enables writers to learn and grow as a community. “It’s huge to have somebody you know who’s going to read your work and tell you what they think of it,” she said. “And when I have graduate students who can’t handle getting feedback, I try so hard to impress upon them what a gift that is — that community.” While working on her Ph.D. at Georgia State University, Schulten was given advice from a thesis advisor that helped her appreciate the writing
community she had as a student. “He said, ‘I hear you and your friends talking about how you can’t wait to be done, but you will never have a community like this again, and you need to hold on to it,’” she said. “There [is] nothing like the built in community of a campus or writing program.” Schulten said she advises students to respect the workshop process but also maintain their creative integrity while sharing their writing. “The best advice I can give is to work toward that place where you know the difference between what feedback will work for you and what won’t,” she said. “So that’s the goal, to really get to that point and respect it, to know your own value as a writer so that you don’t live with too much
doubt.” While avoiding the discouragement and apprehension that accompany being a female writer, Schulten said she enjoys balancing life as a professor and poet because her desire to write is a constant presence in her life. “The biggest challenge is being a female poet — it’s not an easy thing,” she said. “You have to keep going and you have to keep going even when you think you shouldn’t or you’re not meant to do it, or you think it’s not worth it. That’s either the biggest challenge or something we have no choice about anyway, because if you’re a writer, you’re going to keep going.”

Why we should appreciate trash television more Jordan Cockrum Saint Mary’s Editor
I am just going to come out and say it: I love trash TV. I love the entire Bachelor franchise. I enjoy keeping up with the Kardashians every Sunday night. If I’m free, I’ll watch Jersey Shore reruns on Thursday afternoons or Friday mornings. Why is there so much shame involved in loving dramatic, sometimes staged reality television? I’m aware you are not likely to gain some profound knowledge from watching Kim Kardashian call her sister the “least interesting to look at,” or Tia and Colton breaking up on “Bachelor in Paradise.” But, that is not the intention behind watching reality television. Reality television is a release. It doesn’t take a lot of mental energy, and it’s fun to watch a life more dramatic and chaotic than yours. In the same way that as a child I turned to reading to feel transported into another place, I now use reality television as a form of release from everyday life and concerns. There are also other real, substantial benefits to watching reality television and letting your mind rest. For one, it can open you up to different perspectives and worldviews. I have never participated in pageants — nor would I want to — but, “Toddlers and Tiaras” and “Kim of Queens” gave me a glimpse of what it is like to prepare and participate in them. I was not and am not a mother, but “Teen Mom” and “16 and Pregnant” allowed me to see the difficulties that women face when they become pregnant during their teenage years. Reality television can also be grounding. It can show viewers that there are people who face more difficult challenges. Watching programs such as “My Strange Addiction” make it easy to see that there are people that may have more difficult struggles than you do. In addition, reality television presents stories of minorities often ignored by the other sectors of television. A 2017 study conducted by UCLA entitled the “2017 Hollywood Diversity Report” examined more than 1,000 television shows, most of them reality. While scripted television still contained mostly non-diverse characters, there was a broad range of representation in reality television. Reality television has much more diversity than scripted television, according to these findings. This gives all viewers the ability to open their eyes to the range of diversity that is within our nation and is a good stepping stone to more minority representation in the media. And, at the end of the day, reality television is just entertaining. Reality television has been a staple in my life, and I have no shame about claiming my “guilty pleasures.” Contact Jordan Cockrum at jcockrum01@saintmarys.edu The views expressed in this Inside Column are those of the author and not necessarily those of The Observer.
Action must accompany awareness On Tuesday, the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend released a report stating the names of 18 priests and deacons who had been “credibly accused” of sexual abuse of a minor. Of the 18 perpetrators, at least four have some past affiliation with the Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s and Holy Cross community: Edward Krason, Paul LeBrun, Cornelius Ryan and James Trepanier. Three of the affiliated priests were or are members of the Congregation of the Holy Cross (CSC). In a statement to The Observer, University vice president for public affairs and communications Paul Browne said none of the priests were the subject of complaints while at the University and that they were not employed by Notre Dame. Fifteen of the 18 served at some point in the South Bend area, including at schools and parishes where tri-campus students regularly volunteer or attend services such as St. Adalbert Parish; Holy Family Parish; St. Therese, Little Flower Parish; Marian High School; and St. Monica Parish. In the wake of the Pennsylvania grand jury report released in August that uncovered details about 300 priests accused of abusing more than 1,000 children, and at the urging of a former Mishawaka resident, Kevin Rhoades, bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, announced last month he would release the names of priests from the diocese credibly accused of sexually abusing a minor. “In the shadow of this report, we must make an effort to regain the trust of our faithful and the communities we serve,” Rhoades said in a press conference in August. “We must be vigilant in our efforts to protect our youth.” While this report released by the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend pales in comparison to the Pennsylvania grand jury report in terms of sheer numbers, it is nonetheless shocking, appalling and hits close to home. Whether 18 or 300 priests committed these crimes, or whether the survivors number tens or thousands, these acts are grave moral injustices that must continue to be revealed. One instance of sexual abuse is one instance too many. The public release of names marks a critical first step toward change, and we encourage other dioceses to follow the example of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend. “It is my hope that by releasing these names, the innocent victims of these horrific and heartbreaking crimes can finally begin the process of healing,” Rhoades said in August. Yet these measures are not enough, and this Editorial Board calls for more work to be done. Merely releasing information about the perpetrators, while a crucial first step, does not merit absolution. Awareness must be accompanied by action, and therefore further steps are required
from the administration of our three colleges, from the Congregation of Holy Cross and from the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend. During a Campus Ministry discussion regarding the sexual abuse crisis in the church, Fr. Pete McCormick said the CSC had notified its members that the Congregation had decided to appoint a lay board to review its formation of priests and prevention of sexual abuse. If the review board finds any practices lacking, the CSC will implement further steps to prevent these instances and make its changes public, McCormick said. We encourage the CSC to continue to communicate with the public throughout this process. Clear, concrete and accessible information about what has already been done and what steps will be taken to prevent sexual crimes, not only in the Catholic Church, but particularly in the CSC, will help ease public consciousness. It will help the community to understand what is going on and what each individual can do to aid healing, as a member of the affected community. We call on these institutions to make these processes transparent because we realize this issue goes beyond the clergy and beyond the church as a whole. Rampant, longstanding sexual abuse by members of the clergy has harmed thousands across the entire country, and the report demonstrates how this damage extends to our local community as well. The tri-campus and South Bend communities deserve radical transparency from the clergy members and administrators of the local church. Only through communication can the larger community become a part of this healing process. We cannot simply wait for investigations and reform to come from those in positions of authority; this must be a grassroots movement. The South Bend-Fort Wayne investigation was stirred by one local voice that pushed for the release of the report. This example should stand as a model for community awareness and engagement. Reparations for survivors of sexual assault and preventative measures should be shared in a clear and concrete fashion as well. We, as an Editorial Board, do not yet know what reparations for the survivors of sexual assault might be, but we firmly believe that these conversations should be an integral next step. The CSC and other institutions involved with the clergy should demonstrate a clear and rigorous course of action for preventing further sexual abuse in the church. In all of these discussions, community members should be invited to take an active role. Overall, our goal as a community should be to make aware this problem, repair the damage that has come from and is being done by it and take preventative measures to ensure it ends and never happens again. Tuesday’s release of the report by the Fort Wayne-South Bend diocese was an important first step, but it certainly cannot be the last. Subsequent action and transparency will be paramount for this community to not only come together and heal from past and present wounds, but to provide a model for others to do the same.

Are we true Americans? Jackie O’Brien Domer Debates
This morning, I traveled an hour to 101 West Congress Parkway in Chicago. After entering the security line at 8:00 a.m. and getting haggled for my water bottle, I waited in another line. After proving my purpose for being there, I was escorted upstairs. I waited more. Then, I was ushered into a large room. I waited more. Then, around noon, I got to witness 99 men and women become U.S. citizens. For the slight inconvenience of my morning, I received a wonderful reward: the ability to witness 99 people succeed in a system pitted against them and receive the option to reach their fullest potential in the United States. My complaining is entirely privileged. These men and women endured similar situations and frustrating gridlock on their journey to citizenship. To get to this point these 99 men and women lost valuable amounts time, money and sleep. However, this is not the primary problem. It makes sense that our immigration system has rigorous standards and vetting processes. The problem comes when you consider the hundreds of other applications that were denied or have been sitting in boxes for years. The problem comes when you consider the hundreds of children still wondering where there parents are. The problem comes when you think of the Yemeni people who we wanted to join our American dream, but received a rejection letter a day after their acceptance simply because of where they were born. The problem comes when you think of Morristown, Tennessee, a once thriving town now depleted of
workers for the local meatpacking plant. How is this system fair, or, at the very least, sustainable? We argue that we need immigrants to come in “the right way”, but there hardly seems to be a right way anymore. Every day thousands of people try to gain legal permanent residence through a family member already in the United States, or an employer vouching for them. After getting all proper forms and documentation in, prospective residents often have to wait 12-15 months for an interview. After their interview, it can be another 12-15 months before they receive approval. Even then, it’s five years before they can even apply to become a citizen. For people who are threatened by violence in their home country or who are struggling to feed their family that can be too long a wait and too confusing a process. Facts aside, it is hard to ignore the hypocrisy of the value debate when it comes to immigration. In America, we pride ourselves on treating everyone as if they are innocent until proven guilty. While it is up for debate if we truly utilize this principle in practice, every migrant trying to travel to, become a permanent resident of, or become a citizen of the United States is guilty until proven innocent. The 99 men and women endured extensive background checks, interviews, character witnesses, paperwork, long waits, denials and application fees to receive the privileges and responsibilities that many of us were born into. We did nothing to deserve the right of being innocent until proven guilty except for the fact that we were born on American soil. Our most recent immigration discussion has
been framed around who is deserving enough to be an American. This elite measurement is in direct contradiction to our values and the idea that the “American dream” is accessible for everyone. A merit-based system does have its benefits but it ignores the most important qualification to becoming an American citizen: dedication to the American dream and a determination to play a part in our society. Examining education, income and hard skills ignores the benefit and diversity that many prospective citizens could bring to our communities across America. Simply put, the system doesn’t make sense and if we don’t try to change it in a major way we will only continue to see the problems mentioned earlier. A suffering American economy, dangerous situations for migrant children and their families and a racially charged set of qualifications for citizenship. We must do more on campus to advocate for a better, more efficient and well-rounded immigration system. Advocating for our DACA recipients on campus is a wonderful start, but the conversation cannot end there. This looks like a debate that’s not going to end anytime soon, and we must take part. So, I ask you, who are the true Americans? Someone like me, who never considered the true value of their American passport until this morning? Or someone who has waited years and spent countless hours trying to prove they were good enough to partake in something the rest of us take for granted every day?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hypocrisy in the legislature Let’s cut through the pretense; all of the political levers being pulled this week are directly related to the confirmation hearings in the Senate. We have four liberals on the Supreme Court and four conservatives. It doesn’t matter that Justice is supposed to be blind, and that judges are supposed to check their bias at the door, because we have a deeply partisan Supreme Court at this moment in history. Who gets to question and confirm a Supreme Court nominee matters? If both the upper chamber and the administration are of the same party, a Supreme Court nominee can exist politically on an extreme end of the Overton window. We need to ask ourselves, is this OK? Do we want firebrands on the Supreme Court, or do we want people who are centrist bi-partisans? Do we want diplomats, or extremists? Either could be justified. But we need to decide, in order to be consistent. Politicians get elected. Anyone who holds a position of power (especially with no term limits) need to be accountable to the people for their decisions, or else we have people who are above the law. As we say time and again, the head of the executive branch is not above the law. But what about the heads of the other co-equal branches? The current head of the Senate — Mitch
McConnell — has had an abysmal approval rating, dropping as low as 19 percent. Let me say that again. The leader of a co-equal branch of government has an approval rating that is half of Donald Trump’s approval rating. Unacceptable. This can only happen when a deeply, deeply partisan state sends a person to Washington, who gets elected leader by their partisan co-workers. Unacceptable. We cannot have partisan leaders who are not held responsible for their actions. That is the difference between democracy and less favorable forms of government. Who watches the watchers? The people. We hold our government accountable. We vote. We protest. We campaign. The only people who would let government employees go unaccountable are unequivocally demonstrating cowardice. Cowardice can be defined as a lack of firmness of purpose. Perhaps they’re not cowards by the literal definition, because they do have a very firm purpose — themselves. Cowardice and corruption go hand in hand. And they’re both detected by hypocrisy. So what do we do with cowards? Throughout most of human history, they were “shot at dawn.” Fortunately, we’ve come a long way in the past few
decades: we no longer have drumhead court-martials or government show trials, or so I thought. We have an executive branch that condemns with spurious, spontaneous and conf licting statements. And we have a legislature who refuses to hold a fair hearing for one of their own. That is the definition of hypocrisy. We’re talking about a lifetime appointment (it could be 40 years). We’re talking about giving a person one of the most powerful offices in not just the United States of America, but the entire world. Why are we rushing one of the most consequential moments in our history? Two words: midterm elections. Two years ago, we heard the leader of the Senate famously advocating for Supreme Court justice confirmation hearings to be put on hold until after the elections. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, he’s completely f lip-f lopped. The majority party in the upper house is trying to ham-fist this appointment through the legislature as fast as possible, by all means necessary. Hypocrisy.

Give the Ryder Cup a chance Connor Mulvena Associate Sports Editor
I know the Ryder Cup isn’t really up there with the iconic American sporting events, but I really think people don’t understand how awesome this event is. I tend to think that the majority of people hate golf because it’s quiet, stuff y and slow moving. The Ryder Cup is the exact opposite of all that. For one tournament, one glorious weekend, golf fans are permitted to stop concealing their emotions and let loose, and the players do as well. A ll of the bottled up competition and ill-will which quietly builds throughout the year on tour explodes in an amazing fireworks show. A lot of this has to do with the match-play style of the tournament, which pits single players up against each other and increases the competitive aspect of the game. But really, the environment, for the fans and the players, is what makes the Ryder Cup so special. Plus, the golf is top-notch. With the 2018 Ryder Cup gracing our televisions in just a week, I’ve been brushing up on my Ryder Cup histor y and reminiscing to matches far before my time and foolishly thinking my takes on those matches hold any credibility. Nevertheless, I thought it’d be fun to take a look at some of the best Ryder Cup pairings in the United States’ team histor y, and take a shot at claiming one of them to be the best pairing of all time. The first one that comes to mind for most golf fans is probably Tom Watson and Jack Nick laus. Nick laus, probably held to be the best player in the game’s histor y by a majority of fans (with Tiger as a close second), and his partner Watson — also a legend of the game — did not lose a single match between the 1977 and 1981 Ryder cups, earning four points for the U.S team over the course of those years. The duo was effectively
9
responsible for two decisive victories for the United States and ushered in an era of success against the Europeans. There are other groups that come to mind, like Arnold Palmer and Gardner Dickinson, but the only duo that could hold a candle to Watson and Nicklaus has got to be Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed. The two young golfers, rivals during the Tour season, come together once ever y four years to demolish the competition, and when they get on a roll, it’s hard not to be amazed by what you’re watching. They are both enormously competitive and tedious golfers, and the Ryder Cup brings out the best in them. The duo has gained five points for the United States team between the 2014 and 2016 Ryder Cups. The U.S lost to Europe in 2014, but the competition was far stiffer for Reed and Spieth than it was for Watson and Nicklaus. In 2016, Spieth and Reed put on a real show, and I’d venture to say that this win was more important than Nicklaus’ and Watson’s combined, because it ended an era of inferior golf on the part of the United States. And now, it’s safe to say the U.S has more top-tier golfers than Europe. If I had to pit those two groups up against each other, I’d have to pick Spieth and Reed. For one, their win was more significant in the scope of American golf. Also, if the two groups were to face each other in some alternate dimension, I’d have a hard time imagining Reed and Spieth walking away as losers. Any way, the Ryder Cup is a special event, not only in golf, but in all of sports. And I think if even casual sports fans gave the event a chance, they would be more open to accepting golf as a sport that isn’t just “boring.” Contact Connor Mulvena at cmulvena@nd.edu The views expressed in this Sports Authority are those of the author and not necessarily those of The Observer.

Braves inch closer to division title with win Associated Press
ATL ANTA — Luca Duda’s pinch-hit double drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh, and the Atlanta Braves took an important step toward w inning the NL East by beating the Philadelphia Phillies 8-3 on Thursday night. Atlanta leads the second-place Phillies by 6 ½ games follow ing the opening game of the four-game series. The teams close the season w ith three games at Philadelphia, but the Phillies need to w in at least three of four in Atlanta to retain hope of making the final series meaningful.

He has eight hits in his last three games. Tommy Hunter (4-4), the Phillies’ fifth pitcher, gave up a leadoff double
to Dansby Swanson in the seventh. The left-handed hitting Duda pulled the run-scoring double into the right-field corner, giv ing Atlanta the 4-3 lead. The Braves pulled away w ith four runs in the eighth. Swanson, who had t wo hits, drew a bases-loaded walk from Luis Garcia in the eighth to force in a run. Pinch-hitter Charlie Culberson and Ronald Acuna Jr. drove in runs w ith back-to-back f ly balls off Austin Dav is, the Phillies’ eighth pitcher, and Ender Inciarte added a run-scoring single.

Semien and Piscotty help A’s defeat Angels 21-3 Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — With a postseason berth within their sights, the Oakland Athletics are leaving nothing to chance. Marcus Semien had three hits and a career-high five RBIs, Stephen Piscotty homered and drove in four runs and the Oakland Athletics hammered the Los Angeles Angels 21-3 on Thursday. The Athletics reduced their magic number for clinching a playoff berth to five. Since June 15, Oakland is a major league-best 58-25. Going into Thursday, Oakland trailed Houston by four games in the AL West, led Tampa Bay by 5 1/2 games for the second wildcard spot, and was 2 1/2 games behind the New York Yankees for the first wild card. Catcher Francisco Arcia pitched the last two innings for the Angels, who were outscored 31-2 in the last
two games of the series. He also homered in the ninth, becoming the first player in Major League history to catch, pitch and hit a home run in the same game, according to the Angels. “Honestly, when I saw the score up there on the board, it looked like a football score,” Piscotty said. “It doesn’t happen all that often, but it’s a crazy game when you have position guys throwing.” The A’s tied an Oakland record for runs scored first set on June 18, 2000, against Kansas City. Piscotty was 2 for 3 with a three-run homer. He’s 4 for 6 with two home runs and nine RBIs in his last two games and has seven home runs and 22 RBI this month. Matt Chapman was 2 for 4 with a double and two RBIs. He leads the majors with 24 doubles since the All-Star break and has 41 on the year. Edwin Jackson (6-3) struck out seven, walked three and
gave up two runs in 5 1/3 innings of three-hit ball. “When you’re getting runs like that, it’s always fun,” Jackson said. “The main thing you want to do is continue to pitch and see how many shutout innings you can have to get them back in the dugout to continue to hit.” Mike Trout hit his 36th home run for the Angels. They have lost five of their last seven. Matt Shoemaker (2-2) gave up five runs in 2 2/3 innings in his third start since returning from a forearm strain. “He’s trying to get back his game at the major league level because he missed most of the season,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “There’s going to be some rough spots here or there. He’s at times pitching very well and at times he’s missing his spots, getting behind and making mistakes. But his stuff is there, no doubt.”

Notre Dame set to commence fall campaign Observer Sports Staff
Notre Dame is set to kick off its 2018 fall campaign this weekend at three separate locations this Friday: the WMU/Vredevelt Invitational in Kalamazoo, Mich., the UVA Masters in Charlottesville, Va. and the Milwaukee Classic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The fall season is chock-full of important qualifiers, individual tournaments and even championship opportunities for the Irish. Star individuals such as senior Alex Lebedev will compete at the qualifiers for the All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla. from Sep. 29 through Oct. 5. The Irish will then host the annual Bobby Bayliss Invitational at the Eck Tennis Pavilion on Oct. 5. Notre Dame will return to its home court two weeks later when it hosts the ITA Midwest Regional Championship on Oct. 18. After a string of individual invitationals, Notre Dame will travel to Surprise, Arizona for the ITA Fall National Championships on Nov. 7 — the competition that will effectively signal the close of
the squad’s fall season. Notre Dame will therefore have many opportunities this upcoming season to grow as a team coming off a summer of individual accomplishment. Freshman Alex Nefve, who ranks 166th in the world for his age, made it all the way to the final of the US Juniors Open in doubles before barely falling to the European team of Adrian Andreev (Bulgaria) and Anton Matusevich (Great Britain). As far as senior leadership and talent go, the Irish will have plenty of both. Lebedev, who qualified for the NCAA Championship last season and is ranked 19th in the Oracle ITA Preseason rankings, will be joined by fellow seniors Grayson Broadus, Daniel Rayl and Nathan Griffin. The Irish will again be led by head coach Ryan Sachire, who is entering his sixth year at the helm and twelfth year with the program. In other rankings, sophomore combo Tristan McCormick and William Howells are ranked 58th in men’s doubles by the Oracle ITA, while fellow sophomore Richard Ciamarra is ranked 88th in men’s singles.

ND extends losing streak against Louisville Observer Sports Staff
On Thursday, Notre Dame looked to end its threegame losing streak against Louisv ille on the road. Though the Irish (4-5-0, 0-10 ACC) created a number of opportunities throughout the course of the game, they were unable to put any into the back of the net, falling to the Cardinals (8-1-0, 2-0-0 ACC) by a score of 2-0. Play ing their first game in 11 days, the Irish struggled to possess the ball early, as the Cardinals pushed forward into Notre Dame’s half of the field for much of the first half. The Cardinals nearly opened up the scoring in the 10th minute when A llison W hitfield’s shot from just inside the box sailed w ide right. Notre Dame nearly got on the board minutes later when the ball slid between a few Louisv ille defenders and ended up at the feet of Irish sophomore for ward Eva Hurm, who was unable to beat Gabrielle Kouzelos as the Cardinals goalkeeper
made one of her six saves on the day. W hile Louisv ille controlled possession for much of the first half, the Notre Dame defense along w ith freshman goalkeeper Mattie Interian held the Cardinals scoreless in the first half. Coming out of the break w ith an increased sense of urgency, Notre Dame dominated the first 20 minutes of the second half, creating a number of scoring opportunities and controlling the f low of the game. In the 48th minute, Hurm was again denied by Kouzelos after receiv ing the ball off of a bending cross from the left w ing. A few minutes later, Notre Dame junior for ward Jen Westendorf came slashing dow n the left side of the box but was unable to get her shot by Kouzelos on a tough angle. In the first 11 minutes of the second half Notre Dame had four of their six shots on goal, but came away w ith nothing to show for it. see W SOCCER PAGE 10

Follow ing t wo late losses to Indiana Universit y and Michigan State, the Notre Dame men’s soccer team is gearing up to take on the Universit y of North Carolina, its third consecutive top-5 opponent. The Irish (3-2-1, 1-0-0 ACC) look to avoid a threegame losing streak against the Tar Heels (5-1-0, 1-00 ACC).

played a match since Sept. 11. The Tar Heels, scheduled to play against Duke Universit y and UNC Greensboro in the last week, had t wo matches postponed due to Hurricane Florence. UNC is currently on a four-game w inning streak. The last, and only, loss for the Tar Heels came at the hands of Indiana Universit y on August 26.
