College Catholics: Students living Catholic faith on campus
To help the Class of 2009 prepare for their journey into college, The Criterion interviewed Catholic sophomores and juniors in college to get their thoughts and advice about this transitional period. In this special section, they offer helpful hints to make the freshman year safe and fun, and share personal stories of their faith. There is also advice to help parents adjust to their child’s absence. (Pages 10-13)

Notre Dame athletic director holds the line on faith and football
In an extensive interview about his first year as Notre Dame’s athletic director, Jack Swarbrick—a 1976 Notre Dame graduate, lawyer and father of four—talked about a wide range of topics: his faith, his family, his approach to life and Notre Dame football.
The portion focusing on Notre Dame football appears this week as another season of college football is about to begin. (Page 1)
