ices a A i V Z: 3f Most students are clueless as to its location. Tlicv often pass hy ;ind e ' en take notice o{ the windows tvlow the clock on O ' Shaughnessy HiJl, yet very few are aware that through those windows are the studios of WSND. WSND, the scumd of Notre Dame, was Kim as LUi official radio station during the late 1940s, but its rcKits can be traced fiirther back than that. It began as a radio club formed b ' a group of students who prtxluced radio shows for area statioiis. Then in 1 947 , as technology ' began ad ' ;uicing and the club became more eager, the students started their own station, originally called WND. WSND has Kxm ser ing the Notre Dame L nd South Bend communities ever since. Tliough it primiirily has a classical format, WSND appeals to all audiences tliroughout its progriimming day with a variety ' of musical programs, including blues, jar:, jam hinds, college rock, and more WSNl Ciin simpl - be im oudet for fun, but it also equips students who are nxire serious about broadcasting with hands-on experience. Studaits who have their own shows are responsible for e ' er thing from selcx:ting the music, to running the control boiird, to dcKumenting what has been played. Moreover, if being an on-air perscxiality is not appealing to some people, there are a number of other a ' enues by which to gain real life working ex[X rience. The station has its own news, business, and promotions departments, as well as a full deejay service.

s New in its seventy-third year, the Notre Dame Men ' s Boxing Cliih is stronger than ever. Start ei.1 by Kniite Rtx:kne ;is a program to keep the fcx)tball team in shajx ' during the off-season, the Boxing Club hiis an impressive list of alumni, inclutling lawyers, doctors, judges, a statesm;yi, iuid even one of the Four Horsemiui, Elmer Crowley. Also known as the Notre Dame Bengtil Mission Bouts, the Boxing Club instructs over 1 30 men each year in the art of pugilism. These men train three hours a da ' , sLx days a week for a six week [x riod to prepare for the Bengal Bouts Tournament held in early March. Few of these men enter the Bc xing Club with any t pe of fcimiiil trainiiig in Kixing, aid few of these men leave the Club with any aspirations to acliieve greatness in btixing. Rather, these are men who go on to be great leaders in their church, in their countTi ' , iind in the world. All do so with the satisfaction ot ha ing participated in the Notre Dame Bengal Bouts Tournament, win or loss. Eiich year, all of the pr(x:eeds from the Bengal Bouts tournament go to the Holy Cross Missions in Bangladesh, where csie American dollar can feed a family of five for one week. The program and the tournament are entirely about charity, which is why each Notre Dame boxer is a champion, win or lose. For nearly three-quarters of a century, their bkxxi, sweat, and tears have helped put fax! in the mouths of people in a place that almost all of them will ne ' er see. Tliese men beiU on each other relentlessly, and then shake hands as they exit the ring, for they are satisfied in liaving contributed to something greater than themselves. -Qay Cosse Strong btxiies fight that weak bodies may be nourished. -Doininic Nappy Napolitano Director 1931-1981 Director Emeritus 1982-1986 Gymnastics Qub Kmil.
