Many Salve students will be celebrating the upcoming holiday season. However, the ways in which they plan to observe the season are all very different. The season is one that is filled with long lived traditions.

Two Commonwealth Coast Championships, a 15-home-game winning streak, and 9 female athletes: Those words describe the Salve Regina University women’s basketball team, and they’re out to defend it all. The Lady Seahawks hit their home court for the first time this semester in early December to battle league rival, the University of New England (UNE).

Well it’s official: We’ve got Saddam Hussein, and the war in Iraq is ov…. um well we’ve got Saddam Hussein. I know this because I woke up Sunday morning, and he was at the dentists live on CNN. Apparently, old crazy beard has been living in a hole in Tikrit, the town he grew up in, in Iraq.

Rapper Eminem is in hot water.

So what else is new?

BAGHDAD, Iraq _ A top-secret report prepared for the American military command in Iraq just before Saddam Hussein was caught predicted that guerrilla attacks would increase after his arrest, as more anti-Saddam Iraqis joined the resistance.

The report argued that seizing Saddam could provoke more attacks by making the insurgency more acceptable to Sunni Muslims who weren’t members of Saddam’s Baath Party elite, according to senior administration officials who’ve seen it.
