As the end of the spring semester approaches, students possess thoughts of eventual freedom from the de- manding schedule that college life entails. To help students take a break from studying and the usual weekend activi- ties last spring, Notre Dame welcomed the talents of many different performers. Among them was the emerging band the Gin Blossoms. On March 26, students filled Stepan Center to hear songs from the Gin Blossoms recent album, New Miserable Experi- ence. Another featured performer at Stepan Center was the popular comedian Kevin Nealon. By Rebecca Reyda photo by Jeff Roth
