The beginning of each year is a storm of activities for all students, both upper- classmen and freshmen. Registration and the first day of classes are tiny events compared to buying books and football tickets and surviving moving in and freshmen orientation. For the best student football tickets, you should be the first in line to purchase them. Seniors Steve Senna and Jason Wilson camped out in shifts at the JACC with twelve of their friends to be the first. Jason says that their seats are phenomenal. ..definitely the best! Their group headed up the line 48 hours before tickets went on sale. Due to rainy conditions, they were allowed to go into the JACC for shelter, and, as usual, donuts and coffee were sent over care of Lou Holtz. The Qrafitti Dance is the traditional freshman mixer where frosh run around signing their names and new ND phone numbers on each others ' shirts. Here, Jason is surrounded by girls and already has a list of them to call on his back. Lesli Tavares said she liked the event a lot. When she went to her first class, she recognized faces and felt like she had already met plenty of new friends through freshmen orientation. Year In Review

More than one hundred years old, the Notre Dame Marching Band is the oldest college band that has been in continuous existence since its organization. The band consists of approximately 300 students from Notre Dame, St. Mary ' s, and Holy Cross. Although a few of the students are music majors, the majority of the members have majors ranging anywhere from Russian to Math. One of the best illustrations of the feeling of family that is strong among band members was their unanimous decision to practice their marching drill out in the rain a few days before classses started. The decision was made so core members would have additional time to rehearse with the new recruits before try outs. I Year In Review

The barbaric civil war in one-time Yugo- slavia moved through its second year, as the alliance between the Croats and Muslims dissolved due to turf battles between them in the second half of 1993. By October, 1993, as many as 200,000 people, including 10 United Nations relief workers, were either dead or missing. Although much of the world ' s attention has been focused on the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, life in the other comunities is as bad or worse. People are living underground in shattered towns throughout Bosnia. The world ' s eye has also been drawn to Somalia. Warlord Ali Mahdi Mohamed and his rival Mohamed Farh Aidid each took over a sector of Mogadishu, leading to a full-scale war for power that killed 350,000 people and induced a famine. After Aidid ordered an attack on a group of peacekeepers, (J.N. forces hunted for him, but stopped after an October 4 battle that killed 18 Americans, one Malaysian, and more than 300 Somalis.
