Reverend Edward Sorin, spoken over 130 years ago. Even Sorin, who started with a log chapel on the edge of St. Mary ' s Lake, could not ha ' e foreseen our growth to 1 04 buildings spread over 1 ,250 acres of land . Before Sorin ' s arrival, the chapel served as a mission for French trappers, Potawatomi and Miami Indians. While founding a university, Sorin began the Minim Department, which educated grade school age boys until 1929. Since the time of Sorin, our university has withstood fire, war, plagues, and even financial difficulty, and emerged as oneof the most prestigious institutions in the world, with an endowment near one billion dollars. The Sacred Heart of Jesus statue stands facing The Domein the middle of God Quad . The statue is often referred to as Catch me Jesus as he looks up to his mother. Our Lady atop The Dome.

Prior to the step up to Notre Dame Stadium, Rockne led the team from Cartier Field. At the time. The Stadium was seen a historic step for a powerful program whose winning tradition had just begun.

Certainly, athletics have had an important part in establishing our world renown recognition, but the excellence in education the university has achieved is unparalleled. A 94% graduation rate among all students ranks 5th in the country, a U.S. News and World Report top 25 ranking, and in the top 30 most selective institutions in the country. Resources such as the Hesburgh library and Debartolo Hall, one of the most technologically advanced classroom buildings in the world, show the ever-progressing nature of our university. phnto hv Linda Dunn I he ( Inrke Meniori.il I ountijn, nion- coiiiiiionly rcterred to .is Stonehenge, i.L ' lL-bratcd its 10th anniversary this year.

O-pemncj How many times do we sit in class wishing that the professor would explain the material on our level? Outside the classroom, our level takes a whole new meaning. The residents ' halls provide a communit ' o friendship and fellowship — a place where we can be ourselves. Althou h liall assignments are random, it seems that dorms haw distinct identities. Part of thi stems from events such as service work, talent shows, and even dorm goxernment. These proxide the opportunitv to experience new things and meet new people on our level.

And every once in a while, a student will randomly jump up from his or her couch and say, Hey, let ' s take a road trip! Where do these people go? The possibilities are endless. There are stories of road trips to Minnesota Indian reser ations, Michigan ski resorts, Chicago Cubs baseball games, other college campuses to visit friends, and home for some relaxation and good home- cooking. The most important and exciting thing about road trips as Domers is the exhilaration of temporary freedom from studying and from exciting South Bend. The countless road trip memories that we share with our friends will be cherished in our photo albums as well as in our hearts for years to come. w ,  . . u ■ ■ ■ ' . 1 ■ u 1 ■ I ' ■ ' ■j ' bv: Padmaja Itikala fU Qamfuuli e rrrrr!

The educational efforts include making green efforts more noticeable to the student body and increasing recycling efforts. Cristin L ' Esperence, co-president of the organization, reported that one of the first things they ' re trying to do this year is to focus on awareness. Our main goal is to achieve a mentality change among students. In accordance with this goal the group has created and distributed a booklet on rec)clmg practices, environmental information, and other green information. Using this booklet, the coinmissii)ncrs hope to increase the amount of recycling. Most recycling efforts take place in dorm bathrooms.

Under the leadership of presidents Binh Huynh and Tao Hoang, the new Vietnamese group was officially recognized by the University and received funding from the Office of Multi- cultural Student Affairs. The group began informally in 1995 when several Vietnamese students would get together to eat Vietnamese food and talk about Vietnam. This innovative group decided the Notre Dame needed a Vietnamese presence. After a lot of red tape and sweat, the Vietnamese Student Association began formally meeting and planning campus events. The purpose of these events. according the organization ' s mission statement, is to promote and foster the appreciation for cultural diversity at Notre Dame and St. Mary ' s College, educationall and socialK.

Although it ' s a great time committment, it helps me to manage my time. I ' ve had si many opportunities that 1 normally uouldnt ha c, like going on bow 1 trips and away games. The band has and alua s w ill represent the rich tradition rooted in Notre Dame as it cunimues to excite and enlixeii fans. VOICE.S OF F.MI ' H K,nv I: Inuw Raihhdplt. .;«■; Wilhunis.

Their job is to lead and protect the marching band. Each member of the Irish Guard wears the traditional Irish kilt. The design for the kilt was examined by the Tartan Advisory Committee. They confirmed that the plaid desig n was not associated with any Name or Clan in Scotland. The University adopted the plaid pattern and it has been trademarked and copyrighted. At the Ohio Slate game on September 28, 1996, five senior band members stand by the Administration Building after the Concert on the Steps. Frank O ' Linn, Dave Treacy, Andy Pascale, and Pete Ugo are in the back, while Matt Casey is in the front kneeling. All are in the trumpet section ol the band. Section unity often arises among instrument sections, such as the drum line or flute section. This bonding occurs as the members invest a lot time and energy into playing as a team.

When her alumnus father participated in a dorm tug-of-war during AnTostal years ago. he led his team to victory with a little help from a local elephant. Considering AnTostal is a major event sponsored by SUB. Matthews immediately joined. Sitting among the SUB staff, one can hear many similar stories. The unique and fun-filled atmosphere attracted most board members, many of whom visited the office for the first time with a friend and kept coming back. The camraderie among the members is unique, and programmers easily slip into friendships with fellow board members. The Student Union Board ' s office is unlike any other organization ' s office. Filled u iih lt)ys, couches and amusing games, it seems more like a toy room. But board manager Allyson Luck feels that is the essence of SUB. Our theme this year is ' Where Fantasies Come to Life ' . commented Luck, addint: that the office refiecls that. It is a lantass office. Student Union Board: Where fantasies are a wci} of life. a fun place to work and hang out. The Student Union Board tries to carry that into the campus, making it a fun place to work and hang out. Hanging out is what got Luck interested originally. Now she spends 25 hours each week managing a 200 member staff which sponsors the majority of campus events. These events range from the Sophomore Literary Festival to this fall ' s Rusted Root concert to the largest spring campus event. AnTostal. AnTostal includes 80-90 entertainment opportunities, w hich each year become more indoor- friendly, as inclimale weather often poses a problem. As AnTostal programmer Shannon Ball remarked. There ' s nothing we won ' t try once. SUB will try anything lo provide something a little different lo do on campus. Most students don ' t realize that magnilitude of events which SL ' B plans. Believing that College is so much more than classes. has led Luck to create innovative opportunities to relax and still stimulate thought on campus.

Which staff on Notre Dame ' s campus has the dedication to persevere through these tedious nights? It is the Ohserx ' er staff, comprised of nearly 200 paid staff as well as about 200 additional writers. The Obsen ' er is a diverse and ever expanding organization whose duty is to publish five days a week to the student body oi Notre Dame. Editor in Chief Liz Foran comments, We are one of the most active organizations on Notre Dame ' s campus.

On Saturday, February 3, nearly fifty local fourth through sixth grade students nominated by their science teachers came to Notre Dame to participate in a day filled with learning and motivatit)nal activities. This lucky group of girls participated in experiments involving archaeology, physics, psychology, chemistry, business, math--even fixing flight problems in an airplane! The participants were excited not onls about the learning involved, but also the chance to visit Notre Dame, many for the first time. The little wizards had the opportunity to tour a few dormitories such as Siegfried. Brccn-Phillips. Lew is. and Parley to see first hand of what college life is all about. Interacting with college students gave these girls a glimp.se ol w hai ihcu tuuiivs inighl hold. Co-chair Morgan Bracken suggested that the whole purpose of the day was to get the girls in (il ed. and con ince them ol ' the merits of pursuing liighor cilucalion. She noted Most of US just assumed that we would go to college Some of these girls don ' t have that. Morcan Bracken that the Notre Dame student volunteers were role models.

Afterward, the group recounts the history of Hisapanics on Notre Dame ' s campus to remind members of their importance to the school. They are especially aware of the fact that they are the largest group of students of color on campus, which they also consider a great responsibility. In past years, a major issue for Notre Dame Hispanics has been the lack of solidarity amongst the many Latino groups on campus. To remedy this, last year La Alianza was formed to create a more united Latino community. Luisa Heridia said. We wanted something new to happen. As a result, several members of the group, along with faculty members, revised the old constitution. Their constituion now states. Our mission is to unite, educate, and embrace our Latino community and to address the issues and concerns iliai ilirectly or indirectly affect us.

AdWorks is the organization that can make any campus event memorable. The student run group handles everything from taking orders to distribution. This provides the students with practical experience that will be very beneficial in the work world regarding, marketing, designing, and customer relations. All students, regardless of experience, are encouraged to join the group. Members of AdWorks are more than willing to train inexperienced students who will make a commitment to the organization. Not only do the members of AdWorks benefit from their work, but also the entire Notre Dame ct)nnnunity does through products of AdWorks. The Wake Up the Echoes sign promoted school spirit uhilc dance favors and event posters promote dorm or organization spirit and unity. President. JJ Nocera. believes promoting Finding inspiration isn ' t hard because your inspiration is what you ' re designing for. Rebecca 0 el spirit is just one of the many goals for AdWorks this year. Others include increasing quality and volume of their work and improving customer and supplier relations. With the use of new technological equipment, like scanners, these goals are obtainable. New technologies make it easier to produce higher quality work more quickly. Creatix eh. scanners also reduce linntations on designs. The allow designers and even customers to use hand drawn art u ork u hen creating a project. Hand drawn art is usually the first step when creating an image. As for inspiration. Sophomore Rebecca Ovel says, Finding inspiration isn ' t hard because the inspiration is what you ' re designing for. Since dorms come up with creative themes for dances, it ' s always easy to use that theme to create a fun project. Despite the hard work, the members of AdWorks enjoy their jobs, iidi onl tor the valuable work experience, but also for the friendships they have made. While promoting school spirit.

The team is composed of around sixty members, a number that is continually increasing. They are on hand at campus-wide activities like concerts, bookstore basketball, and football games. Members of the team volunteer their time to be on hand should some type of medical emergency occur. Volunteers have immediate radio connection with security in case a serious emergency occurs and it becomes necessary to call in the professionals. Despite this obvious responsibility, membership also has it ' s privileges. For example, the team gets a sideline view at football games. Last year, a few even got to sit on the bench with the Chicago Bulls u hen they came to the Joyce Center to play the Sonics. Despite these perks, most team members are considering careers in the medical field and participate in the club mainl to get valuable hands-on experience. Student Coordinator for Special l: ents. l.iiica People would be surprised how many serious injuries occur in the most nnindane places. Lmea Palmisano Jason Timmermann Palmisano, noted that there has been a huge increase in team membership this year, at the same time that their services are increasing in demand. The Athletic Director calls F.A.S.T. frequently now. asking them to be present all kinds of sporting activities. For example, la.st year they were regular attendees at the women ' s lacrosse team games before it became a arsil sport and trainers took over the role People would be surprised at how nian serious injuries there are even in the most mundane places notes Palmisani . Most students fail to reali e hou often serious medical situations arise at student acti ilies. especially in sports. At bookstore basketball last year. Palmisano related a story about a pla er who went from conscious o unconscious in about 1. seconds. In actuality, three ambulances were called to situations arising from bookstore basketball.

The change from beaches and sunshine to sleet and snow is difficult, but this year approximately 45 students from Hawaii have made the transition. Here on campus. Hawaii Club serves to unite the students who share this experience. With backing from the Notre Dame Alumni Club in Hawaii, these students are united prior to their arrival on campus through send-off dinners. Once here, the students are provided with newsletters from the club in Hawaii as a link to their homes. Senior Kevin Chee states that. We serve not only as an external group to show culture, but as a support group to ease the shock of coming to Indiana. Though the club ' s meetings, or aloha dinners, students native to Hawaii are provided u ith an outlet to talk about liieir home. This is cspeciall useful to freshmen, but all members are thankful tor the sujipurt thes receive. Hawaii may be a state, hut it has a diverse culture of its own. Hawaii Club displays customs native to the islands through hula dancing demonstrations put on through the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. In addition, an authentic Hawaiian luau is held each spring. .A traditional meal is prepared by the club members and vegetation native to Hawaii is imported to fully create the atmosphere of the islands. Club members also preform hula dances at the luau, the most recognizable custom of the islands, to fully display the culture of Hawaii. Ten iiati e dances are preformed and all in attendance at the luau are invited to participate. As co-president Kevin Chee says. Hawaii may be a state, but it has a diverse culture of its own. As a result, Hawaii Club pro ides students native to Hauaii w ith a link to their culture and home and unites their fellow students w ith the spirit of the islands. {)b ii)usl , Hawaii Club isn ' t just about a stale, it ' s about a state of mind.

Brian McDonagh, and Jeremy Heckman returned to South Bend from studying in France, they did not want their French experience to end completely and decided to join the French Club. They were shocked to discover that no such club existed and then became determined to tV)rm one on their own. Because of the hard work and dedication of these four individuals, anyone interested in the French culture or language can now join the French club at Notre Dame, Le Cercle Francais. Professor McDowell agreed to be the advisor of the group and for much of last year was dedicated to preparation and organization, in .April of 1996, the club held its first activity which was a French mass. This served as a send o ' i to those u ho were going to France the next year. This year marked the formal beginning of Le Cercle Francais. The fouiulcrs held an iniroducior meetim: in It is a nice way to extend the French culture beyond the classroom and make it come to life, Amv Cox October and ideas and acti ities expanded from there. They have held French poetry readings and other French masses and are always looking for ideas. The objective is to promote French culture on campus and make students aware of other cultures that exist outside of this country. Anyone who is interested may join, regardless of whether they will be going to 1-rance. majoring in French, or even taking a Ircnch class. The only requirement is to have an interest in French lite and culture. Secretary.

This was the first event of the year held by Le Cercle Francais. The group was content with the night because attendance was higher than expected. 1 alher Mike Driscoll presided over the mass that was given in French on November 10. 1996 m the Farley Chapel. About 30 students attended, many of whom were not even Le Cercle Francais members. This proved encouraging for the group. Before mass, Fr. Driscoll instructed the students on how to sing the hymns in French, assuming most students would not be familiar with the French versions. Le Cercle Francais plans to consistently sponsor at least one French mass each semester. AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY Rmv I: Lori Miller. Junelle Ui Bine. Row 2: Jamie Donnelly. Rusty Chiappetta.

As a staff, they weekly produce the approximately 30 page publication. The staff, comprised of 30 rotating staff people and an 18 person editor ' s board, spends many long hours in the office. Both editor-in-chief Steve Myers and managing editor Bridget Bradburn reported working up to 50 hours each week creating the magazine. Scholastic attempts to entertain and inform students in an in-depth manner, which Bradburn believes no other campus publication can do. They don ' t ha c the time we have to fully report on campus life. Fiction, entertainment reviews, sports, campus news, and various other articles comprise the majority o ' the magazine. One o ' the most well-known articles is Campus Life w ith the Gipp. Full of cynicism and anonymous ivporling on campus scandals, the Gipp is a very popular literary figure on campus As a result of administrational apathy toward the Gipp. he rarely must respond to his own claims. Commenting on the We want to stir up some interest and entertain people at the same time. Gipp ' s reliability, Steve Myers remarked. The Gipp won ' t include just anything in his article. He ' s definitely a more trustworthy figure. Students greatly enjoy the Gipp and often wonder who the Gipp really is. Curtly, neither editor would respond to questions concerning the choice of each year ' s Gipp. While campus scandal ma interest some writers to join, most staff members are simply there to write and gel involved. Applicants ' writing is reviewed before any posititMi is offered. But once the position is offered, a ci mmitment is expected. Many feel their improved writing, acquired knowledge of journalism and layout design are well worth the time sacrifice. Also, involvement in the magazine is often a part of graduating writers ' job applications and is noteworthy to potential employers. Howe er. job application filler is not wh iiHisi members |oin. Instead, most hope that they can somehow affect the student bt dy and make some sort of difference b presenting journalism which they feel is relevant to Notre Dame students Ste e Mxers Wf I S f ' f: jf ' iW B r 1 M.

Army, and Air Force divisions, the ROTC program boasts upwards of 500-600 student members. Often one of the more overlooked groups on campus, members participate daily in ROTC events. These range from flag duties to classes to military balls. Classes are filled with ROTC members, whose camouflage attracts little attention among other students accustomed to the uniforms. However, the ROTC program does deserve recognition for its participation on campus. Most ROTC members spend approximately 15 hours each week fulfilling their promise to the military. .• li members must lake a 3 hour ci)urse each semester which varies depending on the military division and rank within the particular ROTC program. According to Midshipman Lieutenant Commander Colin O ' Neil ( translated senior Na Midshipman) Navy ROTC members take courses including simple na al regulations, weapons systems, leadership ami The niilitciiy seems to he a family thiui for mcmy ROTC pcirt ' icipuiits. Colin O ' Neil ethics. Mainly these courses are useful to pro ide a solid basis for further participation in the armed services. But the hours spent on ROTC aren ' t all in classrooms. Each week they must take part in physical training and drill. Some weeks are more grueling than others, but nuist members feel its worth the pain. ROTC participants also take part in mentoring activities. This does no{ simply include academics, but alsci includes personal advice and easing the adjustment to Notre Dame. O ' Neil commented. The program intends to better acclimate the lowerclassmen to both Notre Dame and ROTC. Why join? Many students join for the financial aid. This seems logical considering ROTC is the second largest opportunity for financial aid next lo athletics. Bui O ' Neil mentioned a second reason for joining. The military lends to be a taniil thing for man ROTC participants. He also feels that ihnuigh mentoring prt)grams and simple interaclment between the ranks pro ides a sense of l ' amil and camaraderie among all ROTC members TKRR.A C ' Ll ' B Rtiw I: Chistine Sluiiiiioit.

The students, who every year volunteer their time to help make practices and games work properly, once again devoted much time and effort to the athletic program. Seniors, juniors and sophomores helped the football team to victory by assisting as managers during games and daily practices. Although the level of responsibilitv for managers was high, manv persevered in order to be involved with the legend- ary athletic program of the Fighting Irish. Working on a home football gameday meant a free field pass for all manag- ers, but it also meant a long, draining day which required an earlv start and a late finish. Managers worked hard in hope of being selected by their peers as one of the best. Although these selections brought on new chal- lenges, they also brought recognition once reserved for onlv a chosen few. The otro Dame trainers also gave up their time and energy in order to keep the football team in peak condition. They saw to it that injured plavers received immediate medi- cal attention during prac- tices. The trainers also ensured that the players received water during practice and the games. Student managers and trainers are often the unsung heroes of the athletic program. They are called upon to do the dirtv work that no one wants to do, but the man- agers and trainers got the job done.

Holtz years close with an 8-3 mark; Final season in original House that Rockne Built bi) Jamie Bordas The storied tradition of Notre Dame football has had many memorable eras and seen many legends come and go. The 1996 season signified the end of another memorable era in more ways than one. The season was the last in Lou Holtz ' s tenure as head coach of the Fighting Irish (see story p. 90). The legendary Holtz coached more games than anyone in ND history and closed out his career with 100 wins, trailing only Knute Rockne in that category.

Notre Dame Stadium will no longer resemble the structure where Lujack and Hornung once reigned. It will be com- pletely renovated with over 20,000 seats added. There were high hopes heading into the season. Talk of a national title began to regularly surface and the ordinarily pessi- mistic Holtz was surpris- inglv optimistic. The season opened m Nashville with a Thursday night game against Vanderbilt. Most students around the Notre Dame campus thought that it would just be a tuneup to get the team ready for its tougher foes. It would provide a chance to get a good start on the weekend drinking and something to watch during commercials on Friends and Seinfeld, but it certainlv would not be a close football game. Oh, how quickly everv- one forgot that it was onW a year ago that another school with a strong academic reputation, but a dismal football reputation, upset the Irish in the season opener. The ' were swiftlv reminded wlien Vandv took a 7-6 lead in the fourth quarter. The Irish offense had sputtered all day and had lost four fumbles.

Edwards added the two-point conversion to give the Irish a 14-6 lead. The defense, which gave up only 126 yards, came up big on Vandy ' s ensuing possession. Sophomore A ' Jani Sanders forced a Commodore fumble and junior Ivory Covington recovered it to allow the team to escape with a win. Almost immediately after the game, talk shifted from hopes for a national championship to hopes for a winning record. The team dropped out of the top ten in national polls. The home opener against Purdue brought an opportunity to prove that the performance was not a true indication of the team ' s capabilities. Junior Allen Rossum wasted no time in arguing the team ' s case. The 5 ' 8 speedster raced 99 yards with the opening kickoff to give the Irish a 7-0 lead. This set the stage for a day in which the team would dominate. Powlus was 19- 32 passing for the second straight game and again amassed over 200 yards. Sophomore TB Autry Denson and Edwards both galloped for over 100 yards and combined for four scores. The defense turned in six QB sacks and a shutout for a 35-0 win. The win earned some respect for the Irish as the team climbed back into the top ten, but it had not vet faced its first true test. That would come as the Irish traveled to Texas to face the 6 Longhorns. The Irish fell behind 1 4-3 earlv in the game. Thev quickh ' came back as senior TB Robert Farmer took the option pitch and went 18 yards for a score. With little time remaining in the half, the Irish scored again to take a 17-14 lead and the momentum into the locker room. Texas came stiirming out in the second half. They scored ten points and shut down the Irish attack for a late 24-17 lead. It seemed as though there was little chance for an Irish victory when senior captain Lvron Cobbins picked off a pass from his linebacker spot to gi e the iiffense the ball in Longhorn territory.

It IS up to others to ascertain whether I accomplished tliis or not. Head Football Coach Lou Holtz, November 19, 1996 These were the words that echoed through the room as Coach Lou Holtz read aloud his statement announcing his resigna- tion after eleven seasons. They seemed symbolic of his tenure at Notre Dame, for it is not just his skillful coaching ability, his inspi- rational speeches, or his wittiness that will be missed bv all of us. it will be the class, dignity, and humility with which he always conducted himself and his true representa- tion of what it means to be a part of Notre Dame. Football coaches come and go. No doubt Coach Holtz will be remembered as one of the best to walk the sidelines in the House that Rockne Built. He finished with a record of 100-30-2, more wins at Notre Dame than anvone but the legendary Knute Rockne. He coached in more games than any other Irish coach and won a national title in I ' -JSS with a perfect 12-0 mark. However, it takes some- one truly special to impact the lives of people the way that Lou Holtz has done. He made us laugh many times with his speeches at the pep rallies. He gave us hope even when we thought there was none and inspired us to start a cheer that was ritually performed in his honor. Coach Holtz was never too busv to take time out of his schedule to wel- come us with a speech at freshman orientation, to speak at the Dillon Pep KalK ' , or to help make JPW memorable. Lou Holtz embarked upon a journey eleven years ago. His mission was not to become a legend, but to serve the University of Notre Dame. During that time he has done both. As head foot- ball coach, Lou 1 loltz has become a legend who will be missed as he leaves that part of his relationship with us behind. As a member of the Notre Dame family, Lou Holtz has fulfilled his mission to serve this university to the utmost and will remain witii us ti rex ' er. Coach H )lt runs onto llic field at . otre l)jnu- Stadium for the final time against Rutgers. Holt picked up his 100th victor) at Notre Dame in the win against the Scarlet Knights. He ended his career trailing onl Kiuite Rockne in that category. Lou Holtz smiles as he speaks with USC coach John Robinson before the game against the Trojans. The contest would be llolt ' s last as head coach ol ' e Fighting Irish. 90 fuyiU Head Coach Lou Holtz delivers an emotional address to the student body in front of a live national television audience following his final home game at Notre Dame. Holtz finished his eleven year tenure with a record of 100-30-2 and his 1988 team won a national title with a perfect 12-0 mark. The student section displays its affection for Coach Holtz during his final home game. This affection was evident throughout his career as the students ritually saluted him at the end of every third quart er while the band played the 1812 Overture. Coach Holtz looks on intensely as the offense runs a critical play. Holtz could regularly be found pacing the sidelines in his trademark blue pullover or stooped down pulling blades of grass from the field. r mikdl 9f Sanson kicks game-winner to beat Longhorns; Irish climb to 5 in AP poll bif Jamie Bordas (continued from p. 88) minutes remaining in the game, Holtz faced a big decision. He knew exactly where to turn in his playbook. Powlus ran the option right and pitched to Denson who made a spectacular play to elude the defense and reach the endzone. The PAT tied the game with 2:54 to go. It was now up to the defense. Once again, Cobbins macie the key play as he broke up a pass on third down t o give the offense another chance. It took possession and marched to the Texas 18- yard line, the last 11 yards coming on a clutch recep- tion by Johnson. With just seconds remaining, Sanson trotted onto the field to attempt a 35-vard field goal. The freshman split the uprights with no time on the clock to hand the Irish a 27-24 victory. The win vaulted the Irish to 5 in the AP poll as they headed into a much anticipated game with 4 Ohio State. Things looked dim at the onset as Ohio State re- turned the opening kickoff 85 yards and took a 6-0 lead four plavs later. To make matters worse, the Irish offense was ha ' ing trouble moving the ball. After being forced to punt, the Irish defense finallv provided a much-needed spark. Senior linebacker Kinnon Tatum intercepted a pass that junior Lamont Brvant had tipped to give the Irish the ball at the Buckeye fifteen. Four plays later Powlus found Edwards for a 7-b lead. Ohio State bounced right back to score and take a 12-7 lead. The Irish finally began to move the ball late in the second quarter. After dri inii n o Bucke e territor ' with the momen- tum shifting, a heavily- blitzed Powlus was inter- cepted to stop the scoring opportunitv. Ohio State capitalized b ' adding a touchdown just before the half for a 22-7 lead. The Irish offense contin- ued to struggle in the second half until finally producing a scoring drive with 7:01 to cut the lead to 29-16. After the defense held, Denson took an Ohio State punt at his own ten and raced 90 yards to paydirt. The crowd and the team went wild.

The ball was brought back deep into ND territory. The Irish could not mount another drive and, in all likelihood, title hopes were gone. The loss forced the team to regroup for a game with Washington. Holtz had been unhappy with the team ' s rushing game and worked on improving it in practice. The practice paid off as the team amassed nearly 400 yards on the ground. Sopho- more Shannon Stephens, who had moved from defense to receiver, led the team with 93 yards receiv- ing, while senior tight end Pete Chryplewicz had two TD grabs. The defense was headed by seniors Bert Berry and Renaldo Wvnn. The two combined for fi ' e sacks on the dav in a 34-20 win. After a long week of midterm exams, the Irish were set to face Air Force. A sluggish Notre Dame team showed up on game day. The defense could not contain Falcon quar- terback Beau Morgan who rushed for 183 yards on the day. Air Force shocked the Irish by tying the game in the fourth c]uarter to send it into OT. Notre Dame took pos- session first in the extra period. On the first play, Powlus rolled right and was hit from behind b a Falcon defender, forcing a fumble that ended the ND possession.

The team next faced rival Boston College amid allegations that several BC players had been involved with illegal gambling. The Irish jumped out to a 21-10 lead, but saw it quickly vanish in the second half as BC tied the score. ND turned the tide back in its favor when Farmer raced for TD runs of 81 and 11 yards in the third quarter. Senior Alton Maiden put the game out of reach with a 20-yard fumble return and senior TB Randv Kinder added a 1-yard run for a 48-21 victory. The game did have one disappointment. After already having gained 68 yards, Edwards suffered a knee injury early in the second quarter that would end his stellar career. The following week, rumors began to surface that Holtz would be leaving at the end of the season. The coach neither confirmed nor denied the reports as the team pre- pared to face Pittsburgh. Although the Irish were held scoreless in the first quarter, thev ripped the Panthers by a 60-6 score. The key to the victory was a second quarter which saw the team score an amazing 40 points. Even more amazing was the fact that the Irish returned three punts for touch- downs in that stanza. Rossum had returns of 55 and 83 yards, while Denson had a 74-yarder. Farmer and Denson both rushed for over 100 vards and sophomore FB Jamie Spencer ran for 58 yards. The defensive effort was led bv Mintir ' s three sacks. On the following Tues- da ' , Mt It ended ' pl ■ula- tion about his future by resigning at his weekly press conference. Rumors indicated that Northwest- ern coach Garv Barnett and Irish defensive coor- dinator Bob Davie were the leading candidates to replace Holtz. Barnett subsequently withdrew his name and accounts indicated that Davie would be the new coach.

The team did not disap- point fans who had come to witness part of history. It jumped out to an early 7-0 lead and began to build upon it when fresh- man Joey Goodspeed returned a punt, which senior Kevin Carretta had blocked, for a touchdown. Powlus was 14-18 for 257 yards and four touch- downs, and he broke the record for most TD passes in a career at ND. Senior Emmett Mosley turned in a strong effort in his final home game with a rushing TD and 83 yards receiving on three catches. Denson surpassed the 1,000-yard mark in rushing for the season. Sophomore safety Benny Guilbeaux led the defenisve effort with his fourth consecutive game with an interception. In the end the Irish had won bv a 62-0 count. Holtz delivered an emo- tional address to the student section after the game and Davie was named head coach the tollowing afternoon. It would have seemed fitting tor the season to end right there. However, the Irish still had to face USC and come away with a victory to secure a bid to an Alliance Bowl. The Trojans had not defeated the Irish in 14 years and were struggling at 5-6. Irish fans were still finishing off their Thanks- giving lefto ' ers as they watched their team score to take a 20-12 lead in the fourth quarter. It is likelv that more than a few came close to choking when Sanson ' s PAT kick sailed wide to the left. USC marched down the field and tied the game with a touchdown and two-point con ' ersion. The game went into overtime and USC scored on the first possession. The Irish tried to counter, but Powlus ' fourth-down pass was batted away and so, too, were hopes for a bowl bid. Just like that, the season and Holtz ' s tenure were over. Both pro ided us with man ' memories. There were ups and downs along the wav, but one thing is certain.

This earned the squad an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Still, the team was seeded second behind North Carolina. Thev headed into the first round on a mission to prove that their first national championship was not a fluke.

This is the enthu- siasm inspired by the cheers, smiles, and excite- ment of the Notre Dame cheerleaders. When the two squads of cheerleaders were chosen in March 1996, they began a year-long season of performances, practice. and volunteer work. They returned to school in mid- August, ready for long hours of practice with head coach Jo Minton. To synchronize routines, sharpen moves, perfect stunts, and build endur- ance, they practiced every day and lifted weights twice a week.

However, as the year progressed, the women learned more about pa- tience, teamwork, and adjustments than about the game itself. The 15 women and sixth-year head coach Debbie Brown trulv proved their dedication and endurance by over- coming many obstacles. The Irish concluded a difficult and trying cam- paign 22-12, after claiming second-consecutive BIG EAST regular season and SCOREBOARD tournament titles. They advanced to the NCAAs for the fifth straight sea- son before falling in the second round to 12th ranked Ohio State. This relative success was gained despite a challeng- ing schedule and numer- ous injuries. November saw the debilitating inju- ries of three starters: juniors Carey May and Angie Harris and senior Jennifer Rouse. Conse- quently, the 1996 starting lineup played just one full match together during the 34-match campaign. E ' en with the loss of these players, the Irish fought on under the leadership of two-vear captain Jennv Birkner. As a senior, she became the only Irish plaver to ever appear in everv game of a four-year career. Birkner is also the only player in ND history to finish her career in the top ten in kills, hitting percentage, digs, blocks, aces, and assists. She joined BIG EAST plaver of the year, junior jaimie Lee, on the all-BIG EAST first team. Before suffering a sea- son-ending knee injury, Harris was able to break her own school record by averaging 0.67 aces per game and, at the time, was leading the nation in aces. Other leading players were seniors Jen Briggs and Kristina Er in, BIG EAST Tournament MVP sophomore Lindsay Treadwell, and BIG EAST all-roiikie team member, freshman Marv Letters.

Led by junior Katie King, underclassmen were five of the top six stroke average leaders. The Irish will be returning six freshmen next Fall and hope to build on what was a record setting year. In their first tournament of the season, the Irish went to Illinois State ' s golf course to face off against twelve other teams. Paced by King ' s final round 1 -under par 71, the Irish finished in SCOREBOARD Illinois St. Classic 4lh place Lady Wildcat Invitational 5th place Cal State Northridge 1st place San Diego St. Classic 8th place fourth place in the tourna- ment. King ' s 229 total was second best in Irish his- tory, and the third round team total of 307 was the lowest by any team in the tournament and the best in Notre Dame women ' s golf history. Backing up King with her consistent play was junior Tracy Melbv, who shot a 233 and placed fifth in the tourna- ment. The Irish next traveled to the Northwestern Invita- tional at the par-73 Lake Shore Country Club. King once again led the women with a se eiith place. while another junior, Kristin Schaner, placed thirteenth. Both King and freshman Elizabeth Coo- per scored rounds of 77 to share the honor of best round bv a member of the Irish squad. Following a victory over Cal State Northridge, the women plaved in their final fall e ent, the San Diego State Fall Classic. The ladies joined three other teams in a four-way tie for eighth place in the nineteen-team field. King once more placed in the top ten, finishing eightli out oi one hundred competitors. Both Melby and Schaner also had good showings in helping the Irish to close out the Fall season. King led the team dur- ing the Fall with a 78.08 a erage. Melby turned in a 81 .92 average, while Schaner was not far be- hind with an 82.75 a ' er- age. The women ' s team hopes to accomplish its goal of a national ranking this Spring, with tourna- ments in Arizona, Or- lando, Tampa and North- ern Illinois and continue to strengthen the program.

While the men ' s basketball team finished the season just over the .500 mark and never even reached a title game, the team proved that it truly is a champion and that every member on it has the heart of a champion. Before the season started, the team was picked to finish dead last in the BIG EAST Confer- ence. After all, in their inaugural season in the conference a year ag( the Irish had managed only four conference wins. The rumor mill was circulating regarding head coach John MacLeod. There was speculation that his job may be in serious jeopardy if the team did not see a big improvement over last season. junior forward Pat Garrity had to answer the critics who thought that he was too small to play inside and was too slow and lacked the outside shot needed to play on the perimeter.

The date was March 20 and the Irish were playing perennial power Michigan in the NIT quarterfinals in front of a rowdy home crowd at the Joyce Center. The Irish fell behind early in the game 21-6. They were able to pull within four by halftime. The second half saw an exciting battle in which the Irish were able take the lead with just under 3:00 remaining. However, a shot at the buzzer was no good and the Irish fell 67-66 to end the season. How in the world did a team that was picked to finish last in its conference ever reach the NIT quarterfinals? The Irish had reeled off eight home wins in a row, including a thrilling 86-74 overtime win over an NCAA Final Eight team in Providence. It had swept the regular season series with last year ' s national runner-up Syracuse. The team came within one basket at the buzzer of beating Indiana. What about all of the members o f the team who needed to answer their critics? MacLeod had been named BIG EAST Coach of the Year. He led the team to an 8-10 record and ninth place finish in the conference. Garritv had been named BIG EAST Player of the Year and proved that not only was he capable of plaving either on the inside or on the outside, but he pro ' ed that he was capable of doing both. The junii r led the team in scoring and rebounding with averages of 21 and 7, respecti ely. He shot an outstanding 387f behind tlie tliree-point line and was successful night in and night out despite being the focus of every opposing defense. White had developed into one of the best point guards in the BIG EAST. He averaged 6.5 assists game and his scoring ability proved to be criti- cal in several games down the stretch as he finished with an a ' erage of just under 10 points game.

The term shooting guard seemed to suit him well, as he was deadly at times from three-point range and always seemed to come up with a big shot when the team needed it. Young had finally found a way to make his foul shots. Although it was unconventional and he was often taunted. Young used the old granny style and by the end of the season could consistently be counted on to hit 1-2 during a trip to the line. Manner proved that defense and hustle are truly critical parts of the game. While he did not usually score many points. Manner was always up to the challenge of guarding the opposing team ' s best player. He could fre- quently be seen diving for a loose ball or outhustling a much bigger opponent to grab a rebound. Gotsch came through in several key games, includ- ing the win o ' er Pro ' i- dence in which he turned in 18 points and 10 boards. Hickey had emerged as a starter by the end of the season. 1 ie seemed to develop more confidence each time that he stepped onto the floor and had one of the finest performances of his career with 13 points and 12 rebounds in an 82-72 second round NIT win over TCU. Other players stepped up big off of the bench in different games. Fresh- man Da ' id Lalazarian was a big scoring boost in several games at the small forward position.

Sophomore Antoni Wyche pro ' ed to be another strong asset as he used his quickness to penetrate opposing defenses. Each member of this team stepped up when the team needed him. The team might not have been the most talented group of basketball players ever assembled, but they proved all of the critics wrong and provided us with an exciting season of basketball.

Just like Cinderella ' s dreams came true and she made it to the big dance, so too did the dreams of the Notre Dame women ' s basketball play- ers. Unfortunately mid- night came sooner than had been hoped as the Irish were beaten in the national semifinals by eventual repeat national champion Tennessee. Although the Lady Irish dropped an 80-66 decision at the hands of the Lady Volunteers, thev took us and the rest of the nation on a magnificent journey. The Irish were snubbed by the tournament selec- tion committee for one of the top four seeds and a first round home game despite having a 27-6 record and being ranked thirteenth in the nation. Instead, the Irish received the sixth seed in the East Region and were forced to travel to Texas to face Memphis in an opening round game. The team breezed by their opponent by a 93-62 count.

The Crimson Tide held a 51-42 lead in the second half and seemed ready to pull away from the Irish. However, great players are usually at their best in big games and this was no exception. Morgan came down the court on three consecutive Irish posses- sions and proceeded to knock down three 3-point baskets to tie the game at 51 with IIW remaining. Alabama regained the lead before sophomore Sheila McMillen came off the bench to hit two 3- pointers to give the Irish a lead that thev would never relinquish.

For starters, the stats don ' t reveal that the team lost a total of eleven games by one goal apiece, while only winning three contests bv that margin. The fact that most of those one goal games could have gone either way indicates how competitive the Irish team was and how a slight change in events could have caused a winning season.

And in doing all of this, the 102 boxers who participated in the 67th Annual Bengal Bouts literally fought for the cause of Holy Cross Missions in Bangleadesh. Although the quarterfinals proceeded as expected, finals night was one of upsets and contro- versy. The evening opened with the exciting and controversial 135 pound fight in which a bloody Tom Wills ' power- ful body shots won him the title. Directly follow- ing was one of the best fights and the first major upset of the night. In a split decision, Ted Pagano defeated defending champ Fred Kelly for the 145 pound title. The 150 pound division also proved to be an exciting match in which Doug Pollina ' s controlled fighting won him his second consecutix ' e title. Chris Sikora also success- fully defended his title as endurance and inspiration allowed liim to dominate and wear down John Kmetz to win a split decision in the 157 pound division.

As the old stadium was brought to a close this year, the final game that was ever played in pads there also went down to the wire. This game did not in- volve names that are in the Ir ish record books like Gipp, Lujack, and Mon- tana. Rather this game involved 48 players with dreams. Players who had dreamed as children of playing on that field, but thought that thev would never get the chance. It was the men ' s interhall football championship. Like many games played in that stadium, the game had a story behind it. Planner Hall, in its final year, was looking to go out as champions. Thev would ha ' e to defeat an off-campus team that had beaten them 19-0 in the season opener. To add to the plot, a large portion of the off-campus squad had li ed in Planner and had played on the Gamecock team that had lost in the championship game in triple mertime a xear ago. The game proved to be a hard fought battle as both teams were able to effec- tively stop the opposing offense. Regualtion ended in a scoreless tie and the game moved to o ' ertime. On the first play, off- campus found a hole in the Planner defense and raced for a score and a 6-0 lead. Planner would have an excellent chance to tie, but three Mike Daigler passes went off of the fingertips of Planner receivers as Crime defen- sive backs laid perfectly timed hits on them to preserxe tlie win. The women ' s game also went down to the wire. Two undefeated teams, Lyons Hall, the two-time defending champs, and Pasquerilla East, faced one another. This game was also scoreless at the end of regulation. Like the men ' s game, a score came on the first play in oxertime. Lyons ' quarterback Kathy Tchanz hit Katie Yanez to give Lyons a si -point lead. Lyons then inter- cepted a PE pass on sec- i nd down to capture its third straiglit title on aniHher memorable da ' at ' otre name Stadium. Planner sophomore tailback Drew Klosterman turns the comer on a sweep against Off-Campus in the championship game. Klosterman was one of the top rushers in the league during the season and led the Gamecoci s to the title game in the dorm ' s final season. Members of the Lyons Hall team celebrate after winning a third consecutive championship. They defeated Pasquerilla East in the championship game at Notre Dame Stadium in overtime to capture the three-peat. i- f56 ipodi Lyons ' quarterback Kathy Tchanz looks for an open receiver in the chamionship game played at Notre Dame Stadium.

The team consists of twenty women, many of whom have never played before. Practices are held year round, with most of the practice time being de- voted to endurance train- ing, drills, and scrimmag- ing. The fall semester focuses on conditioning and teaching the inexperienced how to play the complex game of water polo. New players learn the basic plays and rules of the game, as well as learning how to catch and throw with one hand while treading water. Members also travel to a few tourna- ments to track their progress. In the spring semester, the club begins to concen- trate on intercollegiate competition. In addition to traveling to several tournaments, each year the team hosts a tourna- ment on Junior Parents Weekend. In the late spring, the team competes in both the Collegiate Water Polo Association and the U.S. Water Polo regionals. If they are successful at the regional event, the team earns the opportunitv to compete at the national le el. Despite the fact that it is a relatively new program, the women haxe been erv successful. Led by captains Mary Sundy and Katie McCoyd, the Irish consistently place high in their region and work toward the nationals. 0 erall, though, the team is most encouraged by the interest and dedicatiiMi oi its membership.

Bowling grows in first year as part of RecSports; Kennedy bowls 299 game in Dayton by Mike Majba While this year ' s bowl- ing team may not have national rankings or a huge tournament win, these Fighting Irish give outsiders a good look at what it means to be a student at the University of Notre Dame. Only 16 students, both men and women, belong to this team. Neverthe- less, club president junior Jason Jansen and the rest of the group have a good time while knocking down pins across the nation. The average tournament weekend sees the Irish leave on Friday and head to cities such as Dayton, Ohio, St. Louis, Missouri, Indianapolis, Indiana, and even as far away as Las Vegas, Nevada in their own cars. A tournament generally lasts two days and requires adherence to a dress code. Dressed in khaki pants and collared shirts reading Notre Dame on the backs, team members enthusiastically take to the lanes in spir- ited competition. Practicing every Wednesday and Saturday at Beacon Bowl in South Bend, this team works on the fundamentals of the game and holds imitation tournaments with its members. Highlights of the year include finishing 43rd at the largest bowling tour- nament of the year, the Eagle Classic in St. Louis. The Irish had led the entire field after the first three games before drop- ping off somewhat. In a tournament in Davton, Ohit jimii r Shawn Kennedy bowled an amazing 299 in one game. 1 le left onl tlie 4- pin standing on his final frame. The Irish ha e attracted both local and national attention. They have been featured in the South Bend Tribune and two national bowling journals.

Under volunteer coaches Ray Szajko and Paul TiMnsits, along with new president Eric Baker and the w nmen ' s captain sopho- more Patricia Sevilla, this team ha a bright future. 1996-97 Bowling Club Members: (front row) Jason Jansen, Shawn Kearney, Joe Knulzen, Raymond Petrino, Eric Baker.

Granted, it is literally the additional education you choose to pursue beyond your high school degree. More than that, however, it is comprised of challenge and fulfillment. During stressful weeks, we often wonder how much challenge we can handle. This challenge is then followed by fulfillment when we realize that our hard work has resulted in success that is measured by objective scores and the subjective pride iUkI accomplishment we feel.

The students also take part in Italian pastimes like frequent strolls to gelaterias (Italian ice cream), cappuccino bars, and pizza shops where local neighborhood vendors have served Notre Dame students for over twenty years.

However, part of the Notre Dame tradition is the excellence of its athletic programs. We take great pride in the success of our athletes, but it is important to step back and take a look at who they really are.

Selectecl from the top of the applicant pool to the College of Arts and Letters and the College of Science, incoming freshmen are given the opportunity to be part of a special four year program of study. It involves intensive honors courses, a Senior Honors Seminar Thesis or research project, colloquia, field trips, and various foreign study opportunities. The candidates for this program are selected based on their diversity of interests, creativity, and high academic achievement. Once accepted into Program, students overwhelming, run, rewarding, core honors courses four years in the Honors may find it but in the long Students take throughout their program, however, during junior and senior year, stucients turn their focus to a senior thesis or research project. Honors students are expected to participate in monthly discussions with the faculty on a wide range of topics, which have included global warming and basis of religious belief. While the work load may be heavier than for other Notre Dame undergraduates. Honors students feel intellectually stimulated by the discussions and projects central to their courses. Since there are only forty students accepted into the program, students find the special honors classes to be a mini community within the larger community of Notre Dame. Upon completion of the Honors Program requirements, graduating seniors are awarded an Honors certificate at the annual awards ceremony. m, IliS.

However, add work to this equation, and the phrase time well spent takes on a whole different meaning. Some may be involved in this program because work-study is a part of the financial aid package, although others may just feel the need for some extra cash. These students inevitably learn the value of time as well as the value of the dollar. A myriaci of positions are open to students in various places on campus. Working the dish line in the dining halls is the most r common job held by freshmen. However, once one advances in years, positions in the library as well as the bookstore offer more enjoyable (and less messy) opportunities to earn money. Mostly juniors and seniors can be seen giving tours to wary and awestruck visitors to campus. There are also desk jobs available in the First Year of Studies Office, various academic departments, and the Copy Centers.

In August 1997, Dean Keane will graduate from his position as Dean and will begin .1 new position as a professor in the m a n a g e m e n t department. How would he like his time as the Dean to be remembered? Tiie answer is simple: It was an opportunity to give back to a university that gave so much to me. Dr. Carolyn Woo of Purdue University will fill the position effective August 1997. Dr. Woo will be only the second woman dean of a college in the history of Notre Dame. Some people look back on their times at Notre Dame with fond memories. Others, however, remain active within the University, after their graduation. One of these people is John Keane, Dean of the College of Business Administration. In 1955, Keane received his bachelor ' s degree from Notre Dame and went on to attend five other universities for postgraduate studies. He spent 27 years in the private sector in management and consulting positions and in 1983, he was appointed tiirector of the U.S. Census Bureau.

ResNet is the computer networking project that will eventually provide network connections for all Notre Dame students living in residence halls. The many resources that are available online will be easily accessible for everyone. This project began in August of 1996 when 13 residence halls wereactivated. Throughout this academic year, more dorms gained access to the ResNet. By all halls will be the project will Until this year, been able to connect through the use of a network through November 1997, activated and be completed, students have to the network only modem. This has caused a lot of frustration because modems use the phone lines to connect to the network. Often, many people had to wait to be connected because there were a limited number of phone lines. A ResNet connection does not require the use of a modem and therefore it does not use the phone lines. Instead, ResNet uses an Ethernet jack to connect the computer directly to the Notre Dame campus network. With an Ethernet jack, students can then access network resources at a rate that is roughly 700 times faster than an average modem. Once all the dorms are activated, students will no longer have to wait for a connection. Each individual computer will have its own network connection. hu ac ite J amseu m bei e f93 While four years is not a significant portion of a lifetime, where we spend these years will have a dramatic effect on the rest of our lives.

NEW BEGINNINGS by Kristy Katzmann It was August 23, 1996 and the class of 2000 began to flock onto campus for an unforgettable experience- Freshman Orientation. The weekend before classes began, the campus was bustling with new faces eager to make a good start at Notre Dame. A little anxious, but ready for a good time, the crowd moved in. The first major event of Freshman Orientation Weekend was the Freshman Frenzy, a dance and comedy combination mixer. As students crawled into the J.A.C.C, they were greeted bv music and a viK le new crowd of peers. In no time, everyone began ti teel more comfortable, and the night of dancing and laughs was well underway. Next, of course, came the memorable Graffiti Dance, although unlike before, it was not officiallv spcmsored by the Universitv. The dorms took it upon themselves organize the annual t-shirt signing. Freshmen also had many opportunities to participate in activities with the ir dorms, such as tie-exchanges, casino nights, and mixers with other dorms. Between meetings, campus activities, and dorm events. Freshman Orientation is a fun-filled and exhausting wav to kick off the year. oUJZ IfeoA.

SEPTEMBER OPENED DOORS Keough and O ' Neill Open the West Quad by Mark Miller The former residents of Grace Hall began a new era when Marilyn Keough Hall and O ' Neill Family Hall opened their doors in August of 1996. These two male dorms are the first buildings erected on the new West Quad. Next year, Keough and O ' Neill residents will be joined by former Siegfried and Knott students as they move into Welsh and McGlinn. The rapid pace of construction and relocation changes the face of the University. The two new dorms were greeted by dedication festivities involving president Reverend Edward Malloy and other distinguished guests. On hand for the Keough dedication was former C.E.O. of the Coca-Cola corporation, Donald Keough and former University president Theodore Hesburgh. O ' Neill ' s dedication ceremony included such familiar faces as Charles Schwab and William Beauchamp. Both students and guests were honored with a dinner and mass. Also, all-dorm pictures were taken of the residents to commemerate the first year. Although the transition from Grace Hall was tough for some, Freshmen enjoyed the new atmosphere and facilities. With many other sites being planned for construction in the near future, the West Quad is an expanding and exciting area of the campus.

Multicultural Executive Council held its Fall Festival allowing the student body to experience a week of cultural diversity- From September 30th to October 4th, each muticultural group on campus chose a day to perform in celebration of the week The festivities were separated into four categories: Fireside chats, Entertainment on the Quad, Campfire Talks and the Taste of Nations. The Fireside Chats featured arious speakers talking about different aspects of religion as well as identitv. A less serious part of the week was Entertainment on the Quad. This highlight was an opportunity for students to demonstrate their own unique backgrounds. Events included Native American Dancing, Martial .Arts demonstrations, Ballet, and Polynesian Chant and Dance. Campfire Talks took discussions to a more informal and personal setting. The week closed out with the Taste of Nations. For only a dollar, students could till-up on as manv cultural cuisines as they pleased. The evening provided different booths with a ariety of ethnic foods, as well as multicultural performances on stage. With entertainment and food such as egg rolls, fresh fruit, humus, tortellini and mini tacos, students welcomed a change of pace from an evening at the dining hall.

FALL FOCUS As students bade farewell to the lingering rays of the summer sun, the month of October shone a new light on awareness issues across the campus. As fall approached, an array of campus-wide programs and activities were arranged to honor Respect Life Week and to promote an awareness of the growing concern for breast cancer. In contrast to these thought-provoking activities, Sorin Hall Talent Show provided a humorous escape from the daily grind of the stressed Notre Dame student. Among the many sights students encounter on a campus trek, perhaps one of the most memorable was Notre Dame Right to Life ' s Cemetery for the Innocents- -4,400 crosses erected between Notre Dame Stadium and Hesburgh Library in recognition of the number of abortions performed daily in the United States. Presentations and prayer services informed students on the impending issues regarding breast cancer. The Notre Dame breast cancer awareness campaign was highlighted by a candlelight vigil held at the Grotto in memory of those who battle breast cancer. The Sorin Hall Talent Show provided the month ' s supply of comic relief in its annual variety show where students let loose to reveal their true talents. cdl c au 309 The Leprechaun, Ryan Gee, arouses the Irish spirit in all who attend one of the many Friday evening pep rallies.

Tluuisands of Notre Dame fans flocked to Ireland to clieer Notre Dame to victory in the Shamrock Classic game against Navy. The football team, band members and otlier participants left on Tuesday, October 29, and arrived back on Sunday, November 3, sacrificing nearly a week of tho school year for the venture. All agreed that it was well worth it to see the root of their namesake, the Fighting Irish . An emergence of spirit also took place in the reahn of the champion women ' s soccer team. A pep rally was held to send the team off to the Big East Finals. The pep rally included the performance of a campus band, Skakaholics , a speech focusing on spirit and participation given by head coach, Chris Petrucelli, and an enthusiastic women ' s soccer team. Tlie gocxi turn out goes to show the liveliness of the Irish Spirit in all Irish sports. These hues of red, yellow, and orange are evident in the Irish and how they conduct themselves. In one of the many pregame pep rallies, Lou Holtz stressed the class in which the Fighting Irish conduct themselves.

OCTOBER NIGHT MOVES Late October the Campus Comes Alive As October rolled around, students looked forward to a much needed break from hectic schedules. Given a chance to rest, students were ready for the fun waiting at the end of the month. The Rusted Root concert and Carroll ' s haunted house welcomed students back to campus. On Wednesday, October 30, Rusted Root had arrived. Students came early to grab good seats to the sold-out show. Finally, around 8:30 PM, the band appeared on stage, welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd. It was a phenomenal concert that appealed to the die-hard fans as well as those just looking for a good time. The concert provided two hours of nonstop music. Appropriately, the band left us with their hit song, Send Me On My Way. The fun continued into the next day with the celebration of Halloween. Spirited students roamed the campus in costumes and spooky attire. Among the festivities was Carroll ' s haunted house. The long walk to Carroll set the perfect scene for a haunted house as students anticipated the horror that lied ahead of them. Once inside, the show kicked-off with a comedy skit. But the laughs quickly ceased as we entered the house of terror. The different rooms ranged from executions to the jungle, each room presented its own twist of terror. I UfkL M(tue4, 3 3 .V Continuing the campaign it began in 1992, MTV ' s Choose or Lose bus encouraged younger citizens to vote in this year ' s presidential election. AUTUMN Triumphs and Trials n Kri r Kcitziminn The fall of 1996 focused strongly on the presidential election. MTV ' s Choose or Lose campaign intended to increase the voting turnout of young voters by touring university campuses and providing voting information for students. In addition, young voters were asked to sign pledge cards later sent to them reminding them of their promise to vote. Newspapers and media took full advantage of the election year, providing a continual onslaught of stories for months preceding the election. Republican candidate Bob Dole hoped to make his way into the hearts of the conservative America focusing on expanding the Republican Party to include blue-collar and minority voters. However, his efforts failed as Bill Clinton led in polls throughout the entire election and was sworn in for a second term as the President of the United States. Professional sports provided a break from the continual election coverage. The New York Yankees returned to their former glory by defeating the Atlanta Braves in the sixth game of the World Series. Twenty- year-old Tiger Woods also emerged a champion in the world of golf. Woods ' amazing young talent inspires teens and minorities to a game once reserved for predominantly white players. Competition Heats Up Across the Country 3 ■¥ tjeoA. m, Reiuew- Tiger Woods became an instant success after turning prt) and winning more PGA Tour money in just seven events than most make in thirty. The New York Yankees won their first World Series title since 1978, playing against the defending champion Atlanta Braves. Bob Dole and running mate ack Kemp never lost hope although they trailed in the polls throughout the entire campaign. The favorable state of the economy helped Clinton ' s campaign as he once again proved victorious.

PERFORMANCES The winter months might have brought cold weather to the campus, but fortunately Dave Matthews brought his warm sounds to the Joyce Center in early December. The band postponed the concert for nearly two and a half months. Finally, on December 5th, The Dave Matthews Band arrived at Notre Dame, and many would agree that it was definitely worth the wait. The Dave Matthews Band entertained a near capacity crowd by playing a mixture of old favorites and new hits from their latest album Crash. Dave captivated Notre Dame students with his soulful lyrics and soothing melodies for nearly two and a half hours. Among the many highlights of the evening was Dave Matthews rendition of Bob Dylan ' s classic song All Along the Watchtower . The band ' s energetic performance kept students on their feet throughout the concert and left them wanting more. In keeping with the holiday spirit, the band concluded with a seasonal tune entitled Christmas Song from their first album. Also during this time the Department of Communication and Theater performed Ken Jones ' adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol.

WINTER THOUGHTS ; Mark Miller For thirty years, the Sophomore Literary Festival has grown into a campus-wide event, attracting some of the best-known contemporary authors to campus. This year was no different as famous author Tom Clancy kicked off the festival. Tickets for Clancy ' s appearance were quickly swiped up by students and tlie show, originally scheduled for Washington Hall, h.id to be nio ed to Stepan Center. Clancy talked to students about his lite and his work, giving them the inside story behind some of his greatest novels. Clancy was just one of the manv Irish authors, such as Eavan Boland, who attended and spoke at the weekend-long e ' ent. The testiwil culminated in the readings of student work bv their autliors. I his gave many aspiring authors a chance to slun cast ' their talent to their peers and literary lo ' ers. February also marked the arri al of Black History Month. Many campus organizations used this opportunitv to increase awareness of racial problems. Speakers such as Alan Page aimed both to intorni and to educate all Notre Dame students about the current problems our countrv faces. All speeches and events were focused toward a positive siMutitin to the cause.

JANUARY Keenan Revue The Keenan Revue Turns Twenty- One by Chad Doniii Traditionally, the Keenan Revue is one of the highlights of the winter months at Notre Dame. To no surprise, this year was just as entertaining as years past. The 21st Annual Keenan Revue was once again a successful show displaying both talent and humor. The revue, featuring students from Keenan Hall, was presented at neighboring St. Mary ' s College and was appreciated by both the St. Mary ' s and the Notre Dame communities alike. The lively opening performance of the Kiss song We ' re Not Gonna Take it began a truly entertaining evening. As always, the show consisted of many parodies abciut life as a Notre Dame student. Both the students and administration were the subjects of jokes ranging from university spending to dorm stereotypes and parietals. Some of the talent showcased in the evening included Patrick and Timothy Mousaw ' s juggling act, along with Ryan O ' Neill ' s piano solo. The night concluded with a spirited grand finale of Bruce Springsteen ' s tune Glory Days sung by Alfonso Kennard. Each and every member of the Keenan Revue once again displayed their diverse talents and wonderful sense of humor. The show continues to sell out each year. Their hard work and dedication paid off and was evident through the production of another truly memorable show. r Keevum (leiUeM- O i Special Olympian Joel Hamburgh expresses the true spirit of the game.

The night of January 31 marked RecSport ' s eleventh annual Late Night Olympics. Not unlike man - Fridax ' nights at Notre Dame, the campus roared witii intense fun and excitement during the wee hours of 7pm to 4am. Late Night Olympics calls together competing Notre Dame and Saint Mary ' s residence hall teams to participate in an all-night spiMts extravaganza that ranges from monster dodge ball to water polo. In cooperation with dorm representatixes, RecSports organized Miss- A-Meal sign-ups as well as raffle ticket and t-shirt sales to help the cause. This year ' s festi ' ities saw the most hall participation ever. According to RecSports Late Night coordinator Kara O ' Leary, the sum of this year ' s funds far surpassed that of previous years, making everyone ' s combined efforts well worth the while. When the last point was scored and the final buzzer sounded, there were no definite w inners or k sers. Rather, there remained only heroes and heroines, who all brought home the gold. ■7-X jC2o tfea ( t Reoiew- ate Night Olympics officers donated tlieir time and efforts to benefit Special Olympics.

FEBRUARY CREATING MEMORIES JPW Creates Memories That Will Last a Lifetime by Krish ' Katzmaiiu February gave juniors a special chance to share their Notre Dame family life with their parents during Junior Parents Weekend. The weekend began on Friday, February 14, and ended Sunday, leaving the juniors and their parents with plenty of memories that would certainly out last the short weekend. Junior Parents Weekend kicked-off with the Gala, entitled A Stroll Down Memory Lane. While mingling, juniors and their parents traveled through scenes ranging from the Beatles to Mardi Gras. Many juniors acquainted their parents to the true Notre Dame party scene afterwards at places such as Bridget ' s and Finnegan ' s. Saturday ' s big event was the dinner called Golden Times. The night opened with an evening class mass followed by dinner in the JACC. During a relaxing meal, entertainment included a performance by the Glee Club, welcoming music by Ryan O ' Neill, and a speech by Father Malloy. The week inevitably had to come to an end. The Sunday brunch, Oh, the Places We Will Go, provided a relaxing end to the hectic and exciting weekend. Father Hesburgh summed up what many thought was the significance of the weekend -- the joining of the extended Notre Dame family.

APRIL SPRING HOOPS hy Mark Miller As the spring of 1996 crept into South Bend, students began to fill basketball courts around the campus. The twentieth year of the storied Bookstore Basketball began with the initial seedings which brought criticism and interest as students checked to see if they were part of the top 25. As always, many talented players and teams displayed their skill in the tournament. Top teams such as Models Inc., Showtime, Swoosh and Dos Kloskas drew huge crowds to their games. In the end, Dos Kloskas defeated Showtime in an exciting, and wet, championship match on a cold, rainy spring Sunday. The truly talented players are also joined by those who are just out for a good game.

I am amazed at how much I have learned and the people I have met, both students and alumni alike. I realize now that, no matter how you feel about your yearbook now, after you have left Notre Dame, it will become a link to the four years you spent in South Bend. This book came together through the leadership of a veteran staff. Cara Dils completed a third year as managing editor. Meghan McGriff, also a three year editor, compiled a well designed campus life section, lamie Bordas spent many a late night in LaFortune the last three years reviewing the seasons of our many athletic teams. Nikki Carlstrom, finished her third term the way she started her first, sacrifing part of her semester break to create the largest senior section in the book ' s history. I am grateful for her dedication and hard work over the last three years. Rebecca Reyda stepped up to academics editor and Sara Guertin took over the year in review section. I commend all of these people for giving up part of their senior year to the Dome . John Peschke added a little bit of youth to the staff, as the sophomore flawlessly arranging the organizations section. Special thanks to Danielle Moore, Amanda Bona, Kathy Keating, Mark Miller, and Nicole Rund, our assistant editors. Your input to this book was invaluable. A great deal of appreciation to those who supported us throughout this year. Adele Lanan, you are a true friend as well as an advisor. Lou Hruby ' s financial support made coming to the office on cold February mornings a little easier. Linda Dunn and Jamie Gripe at Notre Dame Photographic made the opening section shine. Greg Rosalia, our west coast correspondent, offered extended coverage of Irish athletics. And a special thanks to my family and friends who listened through the tense times. All of your dedication helped create the 1997 Dome. 1997 Dome Hditorial Staff meniebeis front row: Mike Carney, Rebecca Reyda. Mark Miller, Danielle Moore, second row Nicole Carlstrom, Jim Korczak.

F (SORIN) WAS TO BEGIN AT ALL, THE HEAD OF THIS NEW COLLEGE HAD TO BE MIGHTILY CONCERNED ABOUT FROSTBITE AND EMPTY STOMACHS. Notre Dame chronicler, Father Arthur Hope, C.S.C, wrote about Sorin ' s first years at Notre Dame. The first years were lean and ci lci. Drawing from a large immigrant population of students, the early recjuirements were only the ability to pay. Sorin accepted not only in cash, but in students ' families offered livestock and services as well. Quite a contrast from the highly selective criteria students face today. It is from these humble beginnings Notre Dame has flourished. The leadership of Sorin certainlv set a high standard for those to follow. 3 U GUiinCf. From fall to winter, our campus offer scenes of beauty. The Log Chape provides a reminder of how Notn Dame first started--a mission chape along the lake. Since this humbh beginning, we have transformed intc an international institution. Glo-u 345 ;hoto b Mikt: Carn- Jennifer ???? works the pottery wheel for a class project.

It was designated a basilica in 1992 by Pope John Paul II. The snowy winters of South Bend are not all bad, they do offer a picturesque landscape to ease the dolldrums. J OTRE DAME IS A UNIVERSITY AND MORE--IT IS A COMMUNITY. The words of university president Edward Malloy summariz es the feelings of all who attend this institution. Few graduates of other institutions can honestly say that their collegiate experience was a family experience. Students come from all over the world for one common purpose—learning. But they leave South bend with much more. Friendships and connections that will last forever, some closer than others. 55-60% of Notre Dame St. Mary ' s college graduates eventually marry other Notre Dame St. Mary ' s alumni. From the days of Sorin to the present, all graduates of Notre Dame feel they are members of the same family. is. ; tradition The cloudy skies of n Kite winter .ittcriKxin .in- burned in the memories of each of us, but few have seen it as viewed form the window ot .1 West Quad dorm room.

Why has Notre Dame survive d for over 150 years? The people who have past through its classrooms and offices since the days of Father Sorin to the graduates of the class of 1997 and beyond. Notre Dame may not be the ideal college in the world; its weather deplorable anti classload extremely heavy, but its unique features make it stand out. A certain mystique follows those who leave Our Lady ' s University, one that is unequaled anywhere in the world. Notre Dame has endured tough times through its history, and tough times may lie ahead in the future, but the success it has endured and the legacy each graduate creates will help ensure Notre Dame lasts 150 more years. • ..
