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.

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

Copy by Lori Garner Photos courtesy of Associated Press On September 21, 1993, President Boris Yeltsin disbanded the Russian legisla- ture, leading to an attempted coup led by Vice President Alexander Rutskoi. Upon Yeltsin ' s orders, troops removed the deviants from the parliament building as the world watched it burn. When the fires were extinguished and the smoke cleared, the rebellion was over and its leaders were in jail. Yeltsin ordered a commision to create a new legislature and to schedule elections for a new parliament. Two days later, another world-watching event occurred. President Clinton led enemies Arab Yasser Arafat and Jew Yitzhak Rabin toward their new roles as peacemakers. The two shook hands just minutes after their own two organizations signed a peace treaty in recognition of their rights to live and represent their own people peacefully. +. Year In Review
