J.ju [Jara O. Jiigains ano ara tueriin Bookstore Basketball XXIV suffered a rainy sea- son this year. Although many students still partici- pated, most games were played in gloomy weather. Models, INC. began the tournament as the number one seed and finished in the same position, even after sweet sixteen reseed- ing. Models, INC. won the championship game beat- ing NBT2, 21-16. The tournament ' s most valu- able player was Jason Wil- liams, also of Models, INC. Bookstore Basketball, however, is not just for the pros. The tournament pro- vides friendly competition to any 5 member team who can think up a name. 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

(jnicaao ana Uiolent Jemmes Uisi The best of the old and the best of the new seemed to be the theme for the Fall ' s concerts. The Vio- lent Femmes put in an early appearance at the Stepan Center, while Chicago ap- peared less than a month later at the Joyce Athletic and Convocation Center. The Femmes took the stage after their opening band 16 Horsepower and campus band Tacklebox. The concert was marked by extensive audience in- teraction with The Femmes. The band stopped in the middle of a song to tell a story and brought four girls onto the stage to dance during Kiss Off. The concert lasted three hours. The Chicago concert was a benefit for the Ara Parseghian Foundation. The eight member band played a song list drawn from most of their twenty- six year career, including covers of Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. Their jazzy horn sound featured solos by most of the band members ranging from the drummer to the trombon- ist. Parseghian himself took the stage at the con- clusion of the show to thank the band for their support. The Violent Femmes concert was a big success for the organizers. Students and other fans were dancing in Stepan Center, on the stage and on the floor, while the band was asked to play several encores.
