By Alyson Brodsy and Scott Lindlaw · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 1:03 a.m.

WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Colin Powell sought support Wednesday from Britain, France, Germany and Russia on a proposed U.N. resolution that would give the United Nations a larger role in Iraq's economic and political future. The postwar operation is costing the United States about $3.9 billion a month, and has strained the American military, which has some 140,000 troops stationed there.

Fumbling Barney

By Joe Troyer · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 1:02 a.m.

I've been a dog lover all my life, but I couldn't help but laugh when I read an Associated Press wire report that President Bush fumbled his Scottish terrier, Barney, at the airport Saturday. Evidently, when Laura Bush was handing the First Fuzzball to the president, poor Barney took a tumble onto the pavement, much to the consternation of the Little League softball team Mr. Bush was meeting at the time.

Nothing to smile about

By Alyson Brodsy and Lize Kolar · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 12:59 a.m.

In an effort to facilitate identification, Canadian authorities have recently banned smiling in passports. In order to get a valid passport in Canada, two photographs bearing "neutral expressions" must be submitted. The new law took effect on Aug. 15, but there is a two-month "smiling amnesty" for those who had mailed in happy photographs before they heard of the new law. Canadian authorities are somewhat flexible on the issue.

An opinion for him and her

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 12:56 a.m.

Would you say college students are "savvy, trend-conscious and independent?" The members of an organization known as 360 Youth certainly would. But from what can be inferred by examining the contents of its gender specific "Campus Trial Pak," spelled without the 'c' to appeal to the young audience that despises silent letters, it seems that they have a few other preconceived notions of exactly what a typical college student should be.

Back To Their Roots

By Nick Schmidt and Nicholas J. Schmidt · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 12:46 a.m.

Approximately five and a half years ago, four Notre Dame students were nearing the end of their college years and were abruptly facing the harsh reality of "the real world." Putting off the inevitable 40 hour-a-week jobs as "professionals," they decided to form a band. Not without a few changes, the now older and wiser Umphrey's McGee, formerly of South Bend, has relocated to Chicago and is continuing to turn heads all over the nation.

A not-so-happy Labor Day

By Jim Harper · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 12:23 a.m.

Around our campus, Labor Day was a frequent topic Monday. We weren't discussing it to commemorate workers, but, as students, we were complaining that we didn't get the day off from class.

"Swimming Pool" not completely shallow

By C. Warner Sills and Jake Bilinski · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 12 a.m.

As a film, "Swimming Pool" is somewhat as its title suggests: there's a surface to it, and beneath that surface there is so much more going on. The problem is the water gets a little murky. Sarah Morton (Charlotte Rampling) is a crime novelist lost for inspiration. At the suggestion of her publisher, John (Charles Dance), she escapes to his house in France to relax and concentrate on her next book.

Guided by Voices' latest not 'earth' shaking

By C. Warner Sills and -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 12 a.m.

Critics have begun singing Robert Pollard's praises again … perhaps they spoke too soon. With his highly prolific band, Guided By Voices, Pollard has unleashed Earthquake Glue. What's here is well-written, sung nicely in Pollard's trademark cigarette-tinged rasp and backed more than ably by his bandmates. True to form, most of the cuts are either too short or too long.

BLOGME

By C. Warner Sills and Jen Miller · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 12 a.m.

For Internet aficionado and Vermont resident "NationalJ," logging onto Governor Howard Dean's Web site is a form of electronic therapy. "Honestly, lately when it gets to be too much, I get on this blog and am lifted to know that here's a big community of people from all over the place that are trying every day now to change all that jazz," he writes, a reference to the circus that typifies American politics. "The blog is my therapy."

Mary J.'s hip hop soul is much o-Bliged

By C. Warner Sills and -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 12 a.m.

In the song "It's a Wrap" from her new album Love & Life, Mary J. Blige disses the cheating man in her life and you begin to wonder if Blige gets her sense of empowerment from the deepest depths as well as the highest highs. Such is her nature. Love & Life is such an emotionally-drenched operatic piece of work that after 18 tracks and 70 minutes, I was exhausted and felt a sudden urge for bon bons.

To grandmother's house I go

By C. Warner Sills and -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 12 a.m.

While most of you were spending the last weeks of your summer moving, finishing jobs and/or internships or simply savoring your final days of freedom poolside with cocktail in hand, I was hanging out with my grandmother.
