In 1995, however, winter ap- peared reluctant to leave the campus. Just as spring made its first appearance this year, South Bend was hit hard by a thunder and ice storm. The storm on April 10 closed local businesses and cut off power to many nearby homes. On the campus, students found trees lying on the ground or coated with a thick layer of ice. The most notable event was the fall of the familiar statue of Jesus c5 orm that faces the Dome. The statue has since returned to its pedestal. The annual Fisher Re- gatta on St. Mary ' s Lake on April 23 also proved a little cold for participants. The boaters who were un- lucky enough to fall off their boats and into the lake shivered under blankets and towels. The Regatta offers a chance for aspiring sailors to create their own boats and compete against other dorms on the lake. The women of Walsh Hall, Regis Holzgrefe, Karen Shaw, Sarah Klinges, and Maria Capua, steered their boat to a fourth consecu- tive championship. While many students choose traditional materials for their boats, such as wood and styrofoam, others choose a different route. Duct tape and garbage cans hold this barge together on land, though it did not fare as well in the water. photo by Vince Melody 9olta1Reya ta 17

The thunder and ice storm left the campus feeling very unlike April. Every tree branch was covered with a layer of ice and the Dome appeared to fade into a white winter sky. The Statue of Jesus with outstretched arms, which faces the Dome, was knocked from its pedestal by a fallen tree branch. photo by Jeff Roth St. Edward ' s Hall ' s creation boasted a volcano, plastic flamingo, torches, and working grill. The sailors offered hotdogs to opponents and even the lifeguards. 6 Jn Keuieai
