Students applied and were accepted by only one school within the University. Each student selected a concentration based on the programs offered within their respective school. Some students, however, enrolled in classes outside of their school in order to fill distribution requirements or to round out their education. 20 Michigan Life Layout by Howard Sidman

For the overzealous student who wanted to take part in extracurricular activities, Festifall ' 95 was the place to be. Festifall kicked off the first of the events held in the Diag. Thousands of students were found milling around in search of organizations to join. A vast array of groups set up displays and informa- tion tables. Campus publications, political groups, sports clubs, religious and ethnic groups and service organizations were just a sampling of groups involved. Over 250 campus organizations participated. It was great to see how much there was to offer here at U of M. said LSA first-year student Erin Jontow. I realized that this was what college was about. Students found it difficult to walk through the Diag without stopping at a few tables for information, as signs and posters drew their attention. Many organiza- tions printed information fliers and distributed applica- tions to interested students. Some groups, like Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and the Fencing Club, put on performances for the crowd. Most participants agreed that, as tradition predicted, Festifall was a success. Students signed up for clubs that sparked their interest, and many organizations were able to recruit much-needed members. Festifall was by far the best way to get involved in activities for the rest of my college career, said LSA first-year student Melissa Fette.
