O a X Z the old and the new A little over two centuries ago, a small exploratory expedition headed by a Frenchman named LaSalle canoed up a small river in the wilderness of frontier America. He camped in a spot which he would later name South Bend. If LaSalle could canoe up that river again, he would hardly recognize the spot. Welcome to South Bend, the progressive city. That welcome billboard is becoming truer every year as redevelopers rebuild and rediscover the city. This year proved to be one of transition for our community, as urban development and social reform became promi- nent. The big hole was filled as construction for the Marriott Hotel complex finally began. As always, the University of Notre Dame con- tributed its share of educational and cultural growth to the area throughout the year. The new and the old worked together to form a stronger South Bend.

Feferman discovers holography It has been predicted that within the next ten years there will be holographic television. — Ben Feferman Remember the animated chess game in the movie Star Wars. Well, the playing pieces were not cartoons, as many people believe, but they were holograms. Holograms are three-dimensional pictures that can be made by la.ser beams. They are extremely rare and hard to obtain. But, Ben Fefer- man, a Riley sophomore, col- lects holograms for a hobby. He has even attempted to develop his own holograms. Ben first became interested in holograms while on vacation in San Francisco. I saw a lady selling holograms on the street, he said, and I began asking her about them. Since then he has made several trips to San Francisco and Oakland, Calif, to purchase holograms. It ' s not that holograms are exclusively found in California said Ben, but most fads start out on the West Coast. Holograms can be produced in only three colors: red, blue, and green. This is because las- ers mainly come in those colors and a hologram will be the same color of the laser used. A hologram can be any size and it can also be made to move. If a glass Hologram is broken, it is not ruined. Every piece of a shattered hologram will project a smaller image of the original. In 1979, Ben won the Jackson Middle School Science Fair award by placing first in senior divison physics. That year he attempted to produce his own holograms, with the help of a teacher.
