jtgnt Encourages 2 y J eoecca j euua The 95-96 school year got off to an early start. Each new year brings a wish to get involved and try new things. The annual Activities Night provided an opportunity for Notre Dame students to learn about the vast number of clubs and organizations that Notre Dame has to offer. Held at the Joyce Cen- ter, each club has a booth where students can inquire about the particular orga- nization and sign up if in- terested. Although the event is designed primarily to help new students find inter- ests and become involved, many upperclassmen at- tend the event also. Greg Louganis, an Olympic Gold Medalist in diving, visited the campus in early September. Greg Louganis, who has been diagnosed with the HIV vi- rus, spoke about the struggles he faced as a ho- mosexual in the athletic world. His talk included stories about the taunting and iso- lation he experienced and how he overcame it. In addition, he spoke of his decision to make public his homosexuality and its consequences. Greg Louganis gives an emotionally packed speech about the discrimination he encountered as a homo- sexual during his diving tour. He also discussed his battle with the HIV virus. JlcliuMes 19

Graduation ceremonies traditionally evoke emo- tion as seniors prepare to say their goodbyes and continue to bigger and bet- ter things around the world. The graduates shed a tear as well as a sigh of relief at the conclusion of a job well done and the experience of a lifetime. Graduation is the culmanation of years of studying, hard work, and partying. Seniors are, understand- ably, very excited when their big day comes. photo by Jeff Rolh
