NDH, AMChange for the Better?. A if leaving their be loved home cooked meals wasn ' t enough, when the Notre Dame students got to school this year they re- ceived a special treat from their very own North Din- ing Hall. The dining hall, suppos- edly improved, now offers a variety of selections from the Fiesta Grande to the Shanghai Trading Com- pany everyday. The key phrase seems to be everyday. In the first few weeks students had to resort to posted maps in order to find their foods. The changes ranged from a rotating menu, to more selections of the same food each day. As if the original need for maps wasn ' t enough, the extensive lines caused by the loss of an entrance The Yo Cream went un- changed by Nina Pagnotto forced the Food Service Administration to pay em- ployees to watch students card in their own ID ' s. Re- gardless of the questionable improvements students were able to hold on to one aspect of their favorite Notre Dame cuisine. The Yo- Cream went un- changed. So, whether it ' s Chi- nese, Mexican, or Italian, the newly titled North Dining Hall Food Court was the place to be, but if in search of some variety, dining off campus is hard to beat. Students eating at the North Dining Hall this year validate their own meal cards in an effort to speed up the process. Yet another yo-cream connoisseur serves up his favorite dessert. 782

3evelooin Delations Ethnic C ubs Share Culture on Campus A Means to Keep Native Ameri- can Stu- dents in Fellow- ship The Spanish Club, one of many ND language clubs, holds a meeting. The Native American Student Association at Notre Dame (NA- SAND) exists to donate its support for Native Ameri- can students on campus. The Association presents itself to students who not only seek academic sup- port, but social support as well. For the past few years, NASAND ' s mission as a student organization on campus focused on their academic goals and ca- reer intents. Through dif- ferent gatherings and events, the Native Ameri- can Students at Notre Dame provides a means to keep Native American stu- dents in fellowship so that they may support one an- other in goals and dreams. NASAND hopes its pres- ence on campus will pro- vide support for Native American students, but also aspires to reach out to the campus and neighbor- ing community. On campus NASAND demonstrates its dedica- tion to Native American culture through participa- tion in such events as Multicultural Week. This fall, NASAND brought lo- cal members of the potawatomit [heir skills th Ucontouei L enlightenii bus with its sponsoring tvents. Ceut xis h ' fit.
