Notre Dame students are able to soak in some sunshine for a few days. Sunny days are a rare, hut prized, treasure at Notre Dame. Probably one of the biggest contributors to procrastination, a day of sunshine draws students outside to partake in everything from Slip N Slide to outdoor jam sessions. Warm, steady streams of UV-rays pro ide the opportunit for a wide range of activities. Bathing beauties soak up the last few rays, while jaunters dodge the whiz of a nearby frisbee. Rollerbladers and bikers enjoy a ride around campus, w hile the ambitious attempt to read chemistry, surrounded by action and distraction. Sunny days are a welcome sight. From classes to dorm- room furniture, all aspects of life are moved outside. Even the dining halls are left barren as students barbecue on the quads. The sunn) times onl last so long, though, and soon enough, the chill sets in. After the winter season has ended, however. spring sunshine tempts students once again. Fifty degrees qualifies as warm weather, and students shed their wool sweat- ers in favor of tank tops and shorts. After all. sunshine at Notre Dame is no small occasion.

For no cost whatsoever, one can own a T- shirt which has a source known only to Notre Dame students. Softening the harsh blow of their monopoly status, Cincinnati Bell Long Distance graciously gives a free T-shirt to Notre Dame students who sign up lor their long distance plan.

At Notre Dame, many would agree with this mantra, even though some of those elements take priority over others. RecSpor is one of the University ' s programs devoted to the latter of the elements: exercise Students and faculty can pailicipale in a grand spectrum of activities to get their hearts pumping, their muscles contracting, and their endorphins streaming. At the beginning of each academic semester. RecSports offers a w ide variety of organized activities. Students can sign up to work out their aggressions on the basketball court, release their stresses to the rhythm in an aerobics class, tighten abs, thighs, and biceps as pail of the weight training program, or increase balance and strength in Tai Chi. As one of the most popular programs, yoga offers a workout for the mind. body, and soul. Clas.ses each semester fill up within an hour of the? a.m. sign-up time, often generating two extra sections as a wait list.

From those who swear that they will never use it. to those who might as well have a direct IV drip, few will obtain a degree from the University of Notre Dame without caffeine. As any student will attest, sleep deprivation is exceptionally common during the academic year Of course, what could potentially be a delicate balance of work and sleep is intruded upon by procrastination, or the very altitude that makes a twenty-some- thing a tme college student.

I ' hulo by: Jcntiilcr (jcnl get off my Tailgate Notre Dame Tailgating is like running out of the tunnel for others. Not many can play the game we play. -Michael Anselmi Welcome to the world of Irish tailgating - one of the many exciting (and how many are ue up to now?) Notre Dame traditions. Families, friends, alumni, and fans join together to celebrate another season of Notre Dame football. Irish tailgating is fun for all. whether one is a child, subliminalis urged to one da come to school here: a mother, basking in the praise of her delicious brownies; an alum, reveling in the memory of those glory days; or a student, getting pumped to fool the ushers with that mastered ticket-book-switch. Loyal Notre Dame tailgaters start as early as 8 a.m. and continue long after the game has tlnished. They travel from all parts of the country, not just to push the wait time at Don Pablos to record numbers, but to share in the pride and spirit of Irish football. It is a tradition that is enthusiastically upheld by Domers past and present, to rally around the team, determined that the Irish will win. Tailgating at Notre Dame is unmatched anywhere else. Every surrounding parking lot and field is packed u iih barbecues, flags, balloons, tupperware. and rowdy fans. Walking amidst the throngs, one is inevitably invited by others to grab a drink or a bite to eat. Tailgating creates a sense of Notre Dame community and prepares fans to cheer their team on to ictory.

Some students take advantage of the fact that many professors rarely take attendance. After all. as long as tests are taken and assignments are eventually handed in, no one is hurt by a lack of attendance, least of all the lucky student who garnered some much needed sleep, rest, or relaxation. Skipping class, seems to be a natural part of college life. Working hard all semester can really take its toll. Students need a few extra mornings to sleep late in order to rejuvenate and keep up their motiva- tion levels. Also, it is quite likely, living in such close quarters with so many people, that a student will catch a cold or some other illness at some point during the semester. Both sleep and sickness are often the causes of missing a class or two. On the other hand, sometimes students simply need a rest, or a few extra hours just to self- indulue. Coolboarders, NFL Xtreme. Tetris. and TestDrive beckon students from the Playstation console. Mateo, Hailey, Hope, and Bo draw students from the classroom to the couch. WiUTu weather, excessive snow, fallen leaves or slides of mud halt students on their way to class and encourage a poor attendance record. Whatever the reason, skipping classes is common, and often benefi- cial, to the students. OK, so maybe not to one ' s class paiticipation grade, but to the student.

Here at Notre Dame, the student body is eager and ever-willing to lend a hand. Campus-wide organizations, such as Circle K.. Habitat for Humanity, or Amnesty International, give students the chance to reach out to the communilx and brighten someone ' s day. Within these organizations, students are able to take on special tasks that enable them to use their talents to the best of their abilities. During both fall and spring breaks, Cainpus Ministry organizes and staffs week-long service projects that address and provide for the needs of hurting communities. Students give up their breaks to devote their time, energy, and compas- sion to others. Although they are the ones providing the services, students often boast of having received more from the communities than they themsehes could ha e e er given. Giving back to the community is an important part of life, and at this University, it seems to be a necessary element. Students eagerly plunge into service w ork and genuinely enjoy their time helping others. Working toward unifying communities outside of Notre Dame, students unify them- selves in a spirit of service and outreach that is hard to find elsewhere. M ere t h C U R L E Y BOB !i GV.

Notre Dame ' s own blend of music, talent, and coffee attracts crowds of fans, groupies, and students. Every Thursday night the LaFortune Student Center trans- forms into a mellow coffee shop atmosphere. Students pack in just to listen and relax or to cheer on ambitious friends. As junior Laura Scgura says, [AcoustiCafe] is a place where we can realize how many talented people are part of this University. AcoustiCafe serves as a talent showcase for blossoming new stars, aspiring to be the next Dave Matthews or Grateful Dead. Whether the performances are solo acts or group numbers, AcoustiCafe provides students with the opportu- nity to share their musical gifts. Musicians play both original works and favorite renditions. AcoustiCafe is open to anyone courageous enough to take the stage. and performances are usually any- where from fifteen to thirty minutes long. Both bands and careers have been launched by this exciting mix of campus spirit and student music. AcoustiCafe musicians have gone on to play in local and distant bars, at campus events, and even at student house parties. AcoustiCafe provides entertainment for many, but more importantly, it gives student musicians experience and the chance to shine.

It is a rare occasion that one actually has a good enough reason (even if it is a truth- ful reason) to convince the guards at either the North or the South gate to raise the ominous orange barrier. Unless one is moving in. moving out, or moving really, real!) fast, one ' s best bet is to have on a good pair of shoes, because the walk from D2 or D6 is not a short one. ND Police have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to parking. Moreover, just in case we have trouble with literacy, picture menus have been provided for us. The presence of a ' No Parking sign that depicts a tow truck is more of a psychic prediction than a warning. Many a student vehicle can be found at US3 1 ' s Amoco as a result of a violation. Main Circle, dorm-side, and curb-side are all off-limit areas. Yet even if you do park in your dccal-detcrmincd lot. you still need to be aware of security. Faculty parking is a no. no. even on weekends. If any of this information happens to slip your mind, never fear, because a ticket on your windshield, costing a solid $20. will remind you (and your parents, should the amount go unpaid for too long a period of time) that it is best to follow the rules.

And never before college does one fully understand the concept of stretching his or her wardrobe, for just one more day. The burden of doing laundry is as universal to college students as sleeping late on Saturday. Longing for home is never so desperately felt as when one is lugging that endlessly expandable wardrobe, piled high in a flimsy (and no time better than this to deem wretched ) plastic basket, to the LaFortune laundry room in the dead of winter. And for those who have the luxury of a laundry room in their dorms, the task of hauling basket upon basket down four flights of stairs only to find that all of the machines are full, never ceases to evoke an odd, but justified, yearning for the Kennmore at home and its accompanying economy-size bottles of Cheer and Downy. The battle over a limited number of machines always leaves a certain bitterness when one finds his or her wet clothes, not in, but on top of the machine in which they were left. In light ofall this, it no longer seems like such an arduous task to sew ID labels in absolutely every article of clothing and ship it off to Saint Michael ' s, now does it?

The State Road 23 strip sees more than a few cars v ith ND parking decals pull through its traffic-packed drive-thnis. Students make plenty of afternoon and late night trips to Dairy Queen and KFC. They even trade BK s con enient LaFortune location for the full sized establishment in the Martin ' s plaza. Of course, eating off campus is definitely not confined to the ever-satisfying menu of fast food. Although the ait time is exceedingly longer, restaurants along Grape Road service the needs of any dance couple or other groups of students who have imply grown tired of NDH cuisine. Patrons of such restaurants as Papa Vino ' s. Outback. Don Pablo ' s, and Chili ' s have been known to wait hours before the vibration of a pager signals the sweet availability of a table. Despite this long wait, though, it is difficult to find a student ho has not dragged his or her parents to Grape Road during parent ' s eekend. VMiether cashing in on a reser ation at Tippecanoe or taking advantage of the affordability of Taco Bell, students can always be seen skipping out on the dining hall to enjoy the subculture of eating off campus.

To spice up the lives of Notre Dame students, one of the many campus-wide, year-long activities sponsored by the Student Union Board is that of SUB movies. For the low price of $2, students can enjoy a flick that has been out of the theaters for some time, but has not quite reached the new release shelf at Blockbuster Students travel campus-wide to catch a show at Gushing. Even in the crippling winter weather, students stand in line with their peers for the joy of a movie. Piling in by the dozens, with vending machine snacks tucked under their arms, movie goers find a chair in the anything-but- stadium seating of Gushing Auditorium and enjoy a night of entertainment. This year, students enjoyed the likes of the very shagadelic Mike Myers, Wild Wild Will, and the all too mortal Kenny. The Matrix, The General ' s Daughter, Big Daddy, and of course, Star Wars, pulled in the dough for SUB during the school year. Despite the poor acoustics and second-hand reel of film, a night at the movies in Notre Dame, Indiana proved a good time had by all.

They are the few, the recognizable, the students on campus whom all classes can identify. One of the -newest celebrities has made the Notre Dame football season a lot more interesting. John Taggart, one of our varsity cheerlead- ers, is known for his peppy attitude and extreme enthusiasm as he enter- tains and encourages the crowd. The jugglers are also recognizable staples. Even without the carrot-top twins who graduated last year, the Notre Dame jugglers attract much attention. Practicing on the quad with several objects at once, includ- ing fire, they provoke passers by to stop and gaze in awe. In a sea of ferocious, speeding bikers. Joe Hyder, a single man on a tandem bike, stands out. The only bicycle-built-for-two on campus, the contraption ' s proud owner makes heads turn and eyes gawk.

Review sessions are for everyone. They ' re for the zealous students who are determined to know all the in ' s and out ' s of the test. They ' re for the average Joe who wants any help he can get to improve his chances. They ' re for the failing student who knows he must do well on the exam. And they are especially for those who have missed the last five classes. Many freshman daily planners are filled with the scribbled info of a planned review session. Making time for a review session, whether to learn that last bit of info or to catcii a glimpse of Chemisti Boy Girl, is nearly as important as making time for the class itself. As the college years go by, however, review session attendance dwindles as students find other activities to occupy their time. Oddly enough, the hike to Alumni Senior Club does not seem nearly as far as the trek to DeBartolo. And hey, maybe freshman year ' s Chemis- try Boy Girl feels the same way.

Several job opportunities ranging from clerical to cliild care are tacked on the bulletin board. Some employers depend on the University ' s employment ser ices to spread word of an a ail- able position, while several students depend upon the office to provide information and arrange application submission. Not all campus jobs require the advertising provided by the student employment office. The dining hall takes applications throughout the year, needing nothing more than word-of-mouth to draw employees. The Huddle Mart and Reckers are also places u here man -a-student-employee can be spotted.

We could call it a conspiracy among professors and publishing companies, or simply the bookstore ' s sadistic tendency to make us buy books at inflated prices with a one percent chance that they will buy them back in four months. The first week of a new semester is always greeted by long hikes out to the not-quite-on-the-campus Hammes Bookstore and long waits in line with extremely heavy, expensive books. All over campus students gripe and moan about spending over four hundred dollars on a semester ' s worth of books. Fortunately, with the recent boom in e-commerce. students can now opt to purchase their text- books online. Also, student-run book sales are held in almost eveiy dorm, where used books are sold for bargain prices. However, nothing can beat the convenience of purchasing all of your books, notebooks, pens, and pencils in one place.

The group consists of aiJuit Catho- lic men who devote them- selves to God and country. Knight A.J. Boyd describes the organiza- tion as the perfect combi- nation of ser- icc and frater- nity. promoting faith, growth, and community. Service is the most impor- tant function of the group, and most of their activities focus on serving the community and each other. Knights take leftover dining hall food to area homeless shelters: they volunteer time with local boy scout troops and free health clinics; and they sponsor game day steak sales which gener- ate thousands of dollars each year for char- ity. Members gather in com- munity twice a month to pray, plan upcoming service projects, and support one another in per- sonal and spiri- tual pursuits. mnesty International: Rok I lleft to right) Katie Breitenbach, F.IIyn Rideoui.

The collegiate aura pervades the inside hallways and the outside pathways around O ' Shaughnessy, Fitzpatrick, and the like. It is the drive of Notre Dame students to excel and succeed in all endeavors, making the University a mecca of academia. The curriculum imparts more than mere book knowledge, as it is more of an acculturation process to the ways of the world. Studies at Notre Dame result in the development of scholars who take the wisdom granted them and from it, fashion a pei ' sonal and professional direction.

But can studying actually be fun? Changing study locales is one way to spice things up a bit. After all. there are more exciting spots on campus than the tenth floor of the library. It can be as simple as moving down to the library ' s social second floor or finding an empty table at LaFortune or Reckers. At any one of these places, there is a good chance of running into a friend who will provide a study break, and maybe even a little gos- sip, before the realization hits that papers, due tomorrow, are not get- ting written. When all else fails, the candy wall, caffeine of assorted varieties, and breadsticks are just a few steps away. Instead of bringing along a walkman and a few favorite CD ' s, some students opt to study during Acoustic Cafe on Thursday nigh, where fellow students supply the music live. On precious sunny days, the quads provide a bright alternative: tiny, dark dorm rooms. In between chapters, students can pick uj; frisbee or a football and let loose a little. Other students who desi a more peaceful setting enjoy studying at the lakes w here there i ; cool breeze and a fantastic view. Studying can also help students meet one another, since assii ments and exams provide an opportunity to get together and talk. Look at it this way: studying means more than simply getting goi grades. It is a great way to talk with friends, get to know new peopj: listen to music, play football, get a suntan, and perhaps snag a datei the next formal. LaHorlunc is a popular spot on campus lor studenis to discuss class materials and refuel when the study niunchies hit. Studying with a classmate is an excellent way to gain new insight while getting to know eacli other hclter. lacademics ii In between chapters, students pick up a frisbee or a football and let loose a little. ff The trials iif architectural homework is more exciting and uplifting when shared uith a friend. academics H sounds of music by Ann Marie Tammara Heinrich Heine once said, Where words leave off, music begins. Many music majors agree, as the sweet, sonorous sounds heard ema- nating from donn rooms or Crowley Hail of Music are most likely coming from a music major. The lesser known Department of Music in the College of Arts and Letters provides training in performance, musicology, and theory. Each student has a faculty member who provides personal assistance in order to prepare him or her for a career in music. Students can study music in several different ways . They have the choice of a sixty-nine, fifty-four, or thirty-six credit major, or an eighteen credit minor. For students who choose the 69-credit major, it is best to start classes during freshman year to ensure time for completion. During the second semester of their first year, students have a departmental audition which, along with academic and mus cal achievements, helps determine the student ' s specialization. Music majors must complete adjudications or juries ' every ye, for a grade. This recital includes performing a repertoire in front ( music experts in one ' s chosen field. These juries are considert very stressful and are one of the factors that accounts for the amou of time a music major devotes to practice. The Department of Music also hosts many concerts and lecture They offer the Guest Artist Series, which draws in a vast array i performers for recitals and various speakers for lectures. They al: sponsor the Collegiate Jazz Festival to help promote music with the Notre Dame community. In the end. the life of a music maj ' truly is a harmonious experience for all.

University facts pervade everything from sporting events to dances, and the library is no exception. Universal library fact I: The second floor is the party floor. Students venture to the infamous second floor in pursuit of fun. There is no need to bring books because this floor has been deemed pro- crastination destination. Universal library fact 2: The higher up you go, the lower the noise level gets. Productive students journey to the upper floors for some serious studying. Even an innocent disruption like a sneeze is met with dirty looks on these floors. Universal library fact 3: There is a ghost on the thirteenth floor. Perhaps this is not a valid fact, but merely a rumor meant to scare innocent freshmen. Regardless, freshmen have been known to U: the legitimacy of this tale. Furthermore, Notre Dame s library , one of the few with a thirteenth floor, making the bare, eerie upp ' levels a little spooky. Universal library fact 4: It is virtually impossible to find i empty space in the library during finals. As students cram in U: minute studying, strange things are bound to happen. Some studet; even camp out in the library or leave an old sweatshirt and a ha- eaten bagel on the desktop to make the space look occupied.

' J ' JrfH the missing students |by Mark Garzon once knew an cnvlntectiire student freshman year: but since then, he has disappeared. This is a common thought when students begin to ponder the fate of most architecture majors. The College of Architecture is one of a select number of schools with a cuiriculum rooted in classical studies. Freshman year fo- cuses on the fundamentals of research, drawing, and design. This knowledge is then applied sophomore year when students learn the meaning of hair-pulling all-nighters and nail-biting presentations. Their intensive projects often induce vocabulary changes, as frus- trated students turn architecture into archi-torture and Bond Hall into Bondage Hall. Sophomore year is also the time when students decide to either stick with it or quit. Most decide to perse- vere with great courage and a huge work ethic, especially with the promise of Rome just around the corner. Upon returning from Rome, fourth and fifth year students develo their own personal architecture styles. By fifth year, students ha; the necessary tools to design a final thesis project, thereby synth- sizing their accumulated knowledge. The main element that distinguishes the architecture program froi the rest of the University is the affinity formed among the studer; and faculty. With only about thirty-five students per year, the; small classes constantly bring students together, whether slavii; through all-nighters in studio, studying for an impossible Structun final, or simply traveling throughout Europe. The memories tft form during these short five years almost certainly grow into lit- long bonds of friendship. | Bond Hall is ihe locale where archilecture stu- (Jenl.s spend theirdays...and Iheir nights.

The importance of the Honor Code is emphasized, as it is one of the first University regulations that students encounter at Notre Dame. All students are required to sign a pledge stating that they understand the Honor Code before they attend the University. The Honor Code is meant to enhance the conduct of individuals and the Notre Dame community, reflecting the Christian values Notre Dame is proud to possess, emphasizing the belief in individual re- sponsibility for ethical conduct, and creating a sense of trust be- tween teachers and students. To acknowledge this Code, students sign their exam booklets to pledge adherence to the University ' s high ethical standards. J A University Academic Code of Honor Committee, consisting faculty, administration, and students from four colleges and the Fir; Year of Studies, ensures that the Code is followed. Although many students think the Honor Code is a rule dictate by the administration, students, who constitute fifty percent of th Committee, play an active role in its operation. The College Cour cils choose students to act as representatives for each school. Th Department Honesty Committees are composed of students who dt termine whether an individual should be held in violation of thj Code. Students also create the components of the Honor Code an help rewrite and revise its contents. The Honor Code is not just an administrative academic regul; tion, but a means to ensure a honorable and trusting atmosphere, i Overlooking the UiiivltmIv. this student is well aware ofdu Lac ' s rules and regulations regarding Ihc Honor Code.

Think this is Heartland on a Thursday night? Think again. In an attempt to make education more hands on. a new course has been added to the Electrical and Computer Engineering curricula. EE 220 gives sophomores a chance to dive right in by trying to create useful devices. The color organ, which matches different color LEDs with music playing on a portable CD player, is just one of the many projects these future engineers have developed in class. They have also created their own power supplies, multimeters, and studied Dual Tone Multi-frequency Transmission, which Kevin Brandle describes as just a fancy way for saying how the telephone works. The course is more than just a standard lab course. According to Mark Braun, It ' s less boring than most labs. A lot of them are just b; work, but you actually learn stuff here. Learning while giving uppr classmen a chance to do hands on engineering is one of the coun ' major goals. Hands on experience does not end here, though, because a requ2 ment for many majors is a senior design project. This year, the tweh member graduating Electrical Engineering class is working in ths separate groups on their various projects. Unlike their sophomri counterparts, the senior designs are year-long projects, which closl; involve outside industiies. Administering the programs hands on hopes not only to enha:i the experience, but to keep students interested as well.

Most feel that a thirty-six hour day would be much more realistic in order to accomplish every- thing. With five classes, all of which require homework, exams, and papers, combined with extracunicular activities, such as band, glee club, hall council, and interhall sports, plus jobs to contend with as well, how does the average student get it all done and get enough sleep to avoid the zombie syndrome? Kristina Martel believes that it is not the amount of time, but the quality of the time that matters the most. One must learn to focus on the desired task and concentrate, even when tempted by email, interhall sports, dorm council meetings, and that thorough analysis of the bumps and paint chippings on the ceiling. Wasting time, when there is none to begin with, can have detrimental ramifj tions later in the semester. Prioritizing one ' s life is essential for survival. This means ic only knowing what must get done, but also when it must be cw pleted. It is also imperative to keep on top of things.

These students are part of the Honors Program, and each year, less than 100 students are enrolled. As members of the College of Arts and Letters and the College of Science, Honors Program students are required to take specific classes, write a senior thesis and par- ticipate in a colloquium. Seniors in the Program must write a fifty page thesis. The names of the top thesis winners are inscribed on a plaque in the Honors Office. Another special aspect of the Program for seniors is the Senior Honors Colloquium, a one semester, one credit course, that reunites seniors. Books are read in the Colloquium to help bridge the gap between the Science and Arts and Letters majors. Senior Honors student. Jennifer Bryan, describes it as being gloriously n united in one class for one hour a week in fruitful academic discu sion. While the Program promotes academic excellence, it also pre ' vides social events. There is a picnic at the beginning of the year i help welcome the freshmen, a cultural excursion to Stratford, and Christmas party and mass. Students involved in the Program can find refuge on the secor floor of 0 Shaughnessy where the Honors Program lounge is locate There, students can seek advising or meet with other students. No doubt the Honors Program brings with it a certain amount ' stress, but most students involved reflect back and see that their ha work has helped them overcome challenges and achieve success.

Iby Anna-Marie Filippi A quick glance around a full lecture hall can sometimes reaffirm this fact; class can be boring. In addition to the standard head- nodders, there are always a few more conspicuous students who sim- ply lay their heads on their desks for a quick snooze. To help rem- edy the situation, professors utilize technology to spice up such top- ics as Newtonian Physics. After all. many students recall the days of General Chemistry filled with Power Point slides and live dem- onstrations projected by a special camera onto a bigger screen. When asked what students thought of such advanced technology, Brian Smith responds. I like the Power Point slides. I do not have to read the professor ' s chicken scratch. However, contrary to the majority opinion, technology is not al- ways a blessing. A group of students in a computer applications course discovered this firsthand. After preparing a presentation i ' - ing the latest Power Point slides, video recorder, and the overhel projector, a lightening bolt struck DeBartolo the night before t; presentation, malfunctioning the equipment. We tried to incorp- rate various technological tools to enhance our presentation, but whi it really came down to the actual presentation, even the VCR did ri| work. said group member Joni Payne. This example shows til sometimes technology is more trouble than it is worth.

Over the past 100 years, Notre Dame football has become one of the most storied and honored of all college football teams. Perhaps this is due to the seven Heisman Trophy winners, thirty first-team Ail-Americans, and thirty-five Hall of Famers that have emerged from Notre Dame. Maybe it is the conse- quence of the legendaiy leader- ship of figures such as Knute SCOREBOARD ND Opp Kansas 48 13 Michigan 22 26 Purdue 23 28 Michigan State 13 23 Oklahoma 34 30 Arizona State 48 17 use 25 24 Navy 28 24 Tennessee 14 38 Pittsburgh 27 37 Boston College 29 31 Stanford 37 40 Rockne, Frank Leahy. Ara Parseghian, and Lou Holtz. Notre Dame ' s intimidating pres- ence could be the result of their impressive record including 8 National Titles ( ' 43. ' 46. ' 47. ' 48. ' 66. ' 73. ' 77. ' 88) and an outstanding .760 winning per- centage. Perhaps it is the thrill of the Four Horsemen outlined against a blue, gray October sky that sends chills down the backs of all alumni, students, and fans. Most likely, it is a combina- tion of these tradifions, records, and legends that creates the spirit of Notre Dame in which both stu dents and alumni are privileged to revel. It is into this tradifion of excellence that the 1 999 Notre Dame football team was born, under the leadship of Coach Bob Davie. After finishing last season ranked 22nd. a number of key players were lost to graduation. However, the 1999 roster main- tained five fifth-year veterans in- cluding quarterback Jarious Jackson, flanker Bobby Brown, defensive tackle Antwon Jones, defensive end Lamont Bryant, and strong safety A ' Jani Sand- ers. The leadership of these and other returning lettemien proved invaluable to this relatively youi ; yet promising, team.

His words foreshad- owed the difficuhies that were realized in the following weeks as the hish faced the challenges of Michigan, Purdue, and Michi- gan State. On September 4 Notre Dame faced the Wolverines be- fore an NCAA-record crowd of 111,523 in Ann Arbor. Al- though the Irish held a 14-9 lead at the half and a 22- 1 9 lead with 4:08 remaining, penalties in the final minutes caused them to fall 26-22 to Michigan. A fifteen yard celebration penalty led to the ensuing plays, which allowed Michigan ' s Thomas to make the winning one-yard touchdown nan. Refusing to give in, Notre Dame fought their way to the Michigan 2 1 with under a minute on the clock. Three plays later, Jackson completed a 19- yarder to Raki Nelson, failing one-yard short of a first down. With no timeouts left and the ball on the 1 2-yard line, the clock ran out and Michiaan won the game. The next week ' s match against Purdue saw yet another loss to the clock. Again, the Irish en- tered the locker room at halftime with the lead. It was not until the fourth quaiter that Purdue gained its first lead of the game. Deter- mined to regain their position, Jackson drove the Irish to the two-yard line with time running out. After a fimeout to regroup, they executed the final play, the miscommunication of which forced Jackson backward nine yards. However, before another play could take place, time ex- pired and Purdue defeated the Irish 26-22. The Irish appeared to be ei tering another last-minute fina when they began the four quarter against Michigan Stat tied 7-7. With 5:44 remainin both teams were again poised 13-13.

The October 2nd match-up agiiinst Oklahoma mai ked the beginning of tlie hish comeback. Oklahoma ap- peared to be dominating the field until Jarious Jackson hit Jabari Halloway for a 1 5-yard touch- down with 7:20 left in the third quarter. With incredible deter- mination to regain control of the game, the Irish scored again in the same quarter With only 2:37 left, Tony Driver took it in to boost the Irish to 30-28. This marked a turning point, as Notre Dame gained its first considerable lead when Driver scored from the 1 with 9: 19 left in the game. Although Oklalioma had a final opportunity, the Irish maintained the lead and finished with a 34-30 victory. Their re- covery in the third and fourth quarters was the biggest come- back in thirteen years. Even Oklahoma ' s coach acknowl- edged that Notre Dame ' s will to win was extraordinaiy. Going into their sixth game against Arizona, Jackson stated with renewed confidence that, This is the Notre Dame team I expected at the beginning of the year. This bolstered esteem al- lowed him to throw for four touchdowns, tying a school record, and run a career-best 48 yards for another, bringing the Irish to a convincing 48- 1 7 win over the Sun Devils. The lead- ership demonstrated in these two games contributed considerably to the end of the year decision to award Jackson the MVP award for the year. However, it was the team ' s remarkable performance as a whole that permitted the Irish i neutralize at a 3-3 record. A though they appeared to strugg in the first quarter, Notre Dan quickly gained confidence ar command of the field. NotabI two passes by Oklahoma ' s Ry£ Kealy were intercepted ft touchdowns. A Jani Sanders n turned his own interception u touched, and Deke Coopen was taken to a touchdown in w following play with Jacksore successful 25-yard throw to Jo| Getherall.

After use ' s 29-yard field goal on their first possession of the second half gave them a 24- 3 lead, it seemed that the Irish would once again follow the trend. However, the characteristic wind and rain of South Bend brought a bit of divine interven- tion in the second half as Notre Dame rallied for its biggest comeback since 1979. The re- covery began when Jarious Jackson hit tight end Dan O ' Leary for a 7-yard touchdown pass. Shortly thereafter, as the rain continued to pour, Tony Driver took in another while David Miller ' s 33-yard field goal with 8:07 to play brought the Irish closer with a score of24- 19. The most remarkable, and winning, play came when Jabari HoUoway, with 2:40 left, recovered Jackson ' s fumble in the end zone. A final USC drive was blocked, and the Irish defeated the Tro- jans for the first time since 1995. Two weeks after their come- back win over USC, the Irish faced Navy in South Bend. Once again, Notre Dame ' s strengths remained hidden until the second half. This game mai ' ked the third Irish recovery from a late deficit and the fifth time this season the game was determined by a last- minute drive. However, the final minutes of the ball game were fa- vorable for the Irish, expanding their NCAA-record winning streak over the Midshipmen to 36 games. Early in the game, Notre Dame consistently played themselves out of scoring opportunities, de- spite their improved mnning game led by freshman Julius Jones and his 146 yards on 19 carries Navy, up 24-2 1 , threatened th Irish winning streak, standin since 1 963. until Jackson thre to Bobby Brown on a fourth and-10 with 1:20 left.

When the Irish were behind at the half, 1 7- 7, hope still remained for another second-quailer comeback. How- ever. Tennessee ' s scoring in the third quarter left Notre Dame be- hind 31-7, a recovery too great even for the Irish. Although Jarious Jackson completed 1 1 of 1 8 passes for 1 27 yards, the Vol- unteers ' big plays and tenacious defense allowed them to finish witha38-]4victoi7. A week after their loss to Ten- nessee, the Irish traveled to Pitts- burgh where they faced the Pan- thers in the final game to be held in Pitt Stadium. The overcapac- ity crowd and the emotions of the day helped Pitt rally to defeat Notre Dame, 37-27, for the first time in eight years. The Panthers never trailed, going 1 0- 1 at the half, and taking the lead for good at 20-17 on a third quarter field goal. When Jackson threw an in- complete into the end zone with just nine seconds to play, the offi- cials waved off the final seconds, and Pittsburgh began celebrating their first victory over Notre Dame since 1987. The fervor with which they celebrated the win made a bittersweet statement about Notre Dame ' s legend. With two consecutive losses at their bac k, the Irish faced Bos- ton College at home. Despite pressure to win and gain bowl eli- gibility, the Irish were unable to overcome the problems that had plagued them all season. They could not mount a nishing attack, and Boston held them to 95 yards on32canies. Although it did ap- peal that the Irish were poised for another late comeback, a missed extra-point kick and a failed two- point conversion pass allowed Boston to finish 3 1 -29. The loss to Boston made Noti Dame ineligible for a Bowl forth first time in 1 3 years. This rea ization, and the acceptance tk the Irish would not follow th standing tradition of winning title every 1 1 years ( ' 66, 77. 88 caused a blanket of melancholi to settle over Irish fans near th end of the game.

Even in the first seconds of the game, the mistakes that tormented and handicapped the Irish all sea- son were apparent. There were just too many turnovers (30 for the season, compared to 1 8 last year) and too many defensive breakdowns to allow the Irish to claim a victory over the Rose Bowl-bound Cardinals. Building on their early 14-0 lead, Stanford dominated at half- time with a close 31-23 lead. Although the Irish rallied to re- gain tlie lead shortly after the half, the two teams volleyed the lead until Notre Dame tied it at 37 with 1 :32 left on the clock. However, Stanford ' s Biselli kicked a 22- yard field goal just as the clock expired, leaving the Irish with a 40-37 loss. It soberly marked the first time since 1 963 that the Irish had as many as seven losses in a single season. Despite a disappointing con- clusion to a 5-7 season, the ef- fort, character, and heart of the team are to be commended. Facing eight bowl-eligible teams, Notre Dame ' s schedule was ranked the third most difficult. Moreover, the Irish had the set- back of numerous injuries which forced 16 players to sit out by the end of the season. As Coach Davie stated in an end of the year press conference, the team was, by the final three games, just a shell of what it had been at the beginning of the season. Nevertheless, the relatively in- experienced team did improve and gain experience in some ar- eas. The Irish kicking game fin- ished 22nd in the country, signifi- cantly up from last year ' s 75th ranking, and punt returns wer improved to 17th from 63r(. School records were also set b team MVP Jarious Jackson wh broke previous records for bet completions ( 1 84) and attempt (316) in a season. It is clear that despite the ur expected 5-7 season, the tear played with the heart and ded cation prevalent throughout Iris tradition. Because of their spir and valiant effort, there is a fee ing of optimism about the team potential. After all, one disap pointing season cannot alter th century old mystique of Noti Dame football.

When the two squads of cheerleaders were chosen in March 1 999, they began a year- long season of performances, practices, and volunteer activities. They returned to school in Au- gust, ready for long hours of practice with head coach Jo Minton. To synchronize routines, shaipen moves, perfect stunts, and build endurance, they prac- ticed eveiy day and lifted weights twice a week. The Olympic squad looked forward to men ' s and women ' s soccer, women ' s basketball, and volleyball, while the Varsity squad prepared for football and men ' s basketball games. In addition to cheering at these games, the Var- sity squad also perfomied at pep rallies and around campus before each home football game. Besides embodying the spirit of the Irish, the cheerleaders also demonstrate the University ' s commitment to service, volun- teering many hours in South Bend and in other cities while traveling. From involvement in community service to intense spirit, the cheerleaders reflect the qualities that make Notre Dame a truly legendary place.

These students are the ones behind the scenes, making sure every game and every practice runs without a hitch. They set up the field or the practice area clean cleats, organi e leakers, and pre- pare the athletes themselves for every game.

It is also this privileged group of individuals that stands alongside the players on the field, touches the famous Play Like Champions Today sign before each game, and befriends the coaches and players on the most legendary football team of all time.

This Notre Dame tradition involves fixing the padding on the helmets. buffing them, and then painting them. The helmets get two coats of paint. Tlie fu ' st coat is the tradi- tional Notre Dame gold paint, while the second is a special recipe passed down throughout the years that only the painters know. Managers and ti ' ainers become an integral part of every team they work along side of, as well as a team within themselves. It takes a lot of commitment to excel as a manager or trainer. As- junior manager David Hoftman states, You have to love it to do it. It is a labor of love. Although it is hard work, time consumins. and demandintr. the lifelong friendships develops throughout the years, the orgar zational skills learned, the pric less experiences had, and the Sc isfaction gained when one do the impossible by moving thrc fields worth of equipment froi the opposite side of campus i.

With four trips to the NCAA Final Four since 1994 under their belts, and a 1995 championship title on their record, the team had a great deal of expectations to live up to un- der the new direction of head coach Randy Waldrum. The mental and physical challenges presented to them helped build strong women and solid charac- ters to provide the team with both technical and tactical strategies. With an unending ability to push one ' s body past its limits, these dynamic ladies stunned the growing number of spectators that attended the numerous matches against highly positioned opponents such as number 1 rated Santa Clara and top- ranked North Cai ' olina. The team was comprised of a solid line-up, adding a neces- sary depth to the team chemis- try. A certain camaiaderie, stem- ming from the knowledge and ex- perience of the veteran seniors and growing within the expecta- tions of the timid freshmen, was established early on in the sea- son. With a brag sheet filled with nationally ranked players, Jen Gaibb as Defensive Player of the Yeai , Monica Gonzales holding a spot on the Mexican National Team, and numerous other AU- Americans, it was no wonder a successful season was at hand. One of the things that helped this year was that everyone had something different to offer, which brought a unity to the team, reflected Senior Kara Brown. In addition to the strong veteran influence, the speed an agility o f the incoming playei added a new level of intensity t this already remarkable team. Although a somewhat shak defense fell short in an openin game against North Carolina, provided a wake up call for th Irish, who ended up ranking nun ber six in the nation by the end ( their regular season. This excep tional group of individually ta ented players came together ur der the supervision of secon year head coach Randy Waldrui to produce an explosive team th; introduced tenacity and desire i the world of women ' s soccer.

Senior Jen Grubb offered, The team had very good chemistry this yeai . I think the best we ' ve had since I ' ve been playing here at Notre Dame. With a strong defense headed in the back by senior goalkeeper LaKeysia Beene, the Irish ended their season with only 4 losses on their record. This feat was an accomplishment in itself, co nsidering that the Big East League in which they played had some of the toughest teams in the nation. With a strong foundation already laid, the team was able to concentrate on their weak- nesses during spring practice in order to later demonstrate ex- tremely polished fall play. The women held hopes of a second NCAA championship in their grasp. Hard work and dedication was just what it took for the team to succeed in all their endeavors. Along with dedication came the immense time commitment that enabled the team to sharpen and improve skills and teamwork. A remarkable collaboration of ef- forts proved to be the winning in- gredient that helped the women with team, and individual, goals. After a season of numerous victories and memorable experi- ences, the team definitely had a reason to be proud. To come this fai- was in itself worthy of high accolades. Although Santa Clara was favored in the NCAA Semi- finals, the Irish managed to slip one past the defense, resulting in a 1-0 win. With the defeat of number 1 ranked Santa Clara to boost their confidence, the Irili advanced to the championsh) game of the NCAA Finals in Sd Jose, CA against North Carolir. Although the Irish season endl with a loss to the Tar Heels, t will be remembered as a gret victory for the team, and t; whole of Irish athletics, as the; women truly represent Irii pride.

KECOXSTRIJCTIO] A fresh Irish team takes the field by Lauren Abiouness As Coach Berticelli put it. this was a reconstructing year for the Irish Men ' s Soccer Team. We may lack experience, but this is an extremely talented group of players, boasted coach Berticelli. The men proved this to be true throughout the sea- son. The Msh players had a rough beginning, starting with the pre- season. They lost a number of experienced key players includ- ing Greg Velho, who graduated, and Shane Walton, who shared his talents with the other game SCOREBOARD ND Opp Northwestern 1 Boston College 1 W, Michigan 1 Pittsburgh 1 1 Cleveland State 1 Connecticut 1 2 San Diego 3 St. Mary ' s 2 E.

In no way did this deter the Irish squad from putting up a strong fight for the Big East title. This Men ' s Soccer Team proved outstanding and did not give up a game or goal easily. Tliough the team is young and lacking in field experience at the college level, it did not appeal so as the men took over the field in the 1999 sea- son. The Irish Men played hard and their talent was evident in the Big East Conference. A freshman recruit from Ger- many, Erich Braun, led the Irish offense with 9 goals and 6 as- sists. He holds one of the best records for an Irish player, short of the school record by just one goal and one assist. Braun was equally supported on offense with help from fellow teammate An- drew Aris, a senior. Braun was the first Notre Dame player to be recognized as one of the Big East ' s four major players of the year. He also earned the 1 999 Big East Men ' s Soccer Rookie of the Year Award. On defen.se, senior captain Gerick Short had some big cleats to fill this season back on the goal line following Velho. Short started every game and proved to be a solid asset with a saving percentage just over sc enty-five. The 1999 season was also memorable point in Coac Berticelli ' s career as the Irish vii tory over Eastern Michiga marked his 1 00th win.

The Irish women did not disappoint themselves, nor their fans, qualifying for their first trip to the NCAA Championships since 1993. The team started off the sea- son on a strong note with a sec- ond place finish at the Valparaiso Invitational fol- lowed by first place finishes at both the National Catholic Championship and Notre Dame Invitational. Freshman sensation Jennifer Handley showed that she had what it took to compete on the colle- giate level by winning the Valparaiso Invitational. Lead- ing the way was two-time Ail- American, senior JoAnna Deeter, who won both of the latter meets. Regrettably, in- jury forced Deeter to sit out much of the remaining season. However, the Irish perse- vered. Senior Alison Klemmer brought experience, while freshman Jennifer Handley brought talent and enthusiasm 1 999 Women ' s Cross Country Leanne Brady Becky Miske Carolyn Buller Cara Motter Hilary Burn Bridget O ' Brien Susan Creary Heather O ' Brien JoAnna Deeter Maria Ochsner Megan Driscoll Erin Olson Kari Eaton Jennifer Pavela Jennifer Fibuch Colleen Pepper Kristin Flood Diana Percival Jennifer Handley Patty Rice Brooke Jerdan Melissa Schmidt Elizabeth Kahling Emily Showman Alison Klemmer ' Valerie Siqueira Chrissy Kuenster Kelly Tutko Nicole LaSeile Kim Utterson Erin Luby Julie Van ' Weelden Keri McCarthy Alicia Wyche Anne McGrath Anna Yates With great anticipation, the Irish women finish stretching and preparing immediately before the Notre Dame hivilalional. to help fill the void. The Irish thus claimed fifth place in the Big East Championship with Klemmer and Handley leading the way and garnering all-con- ference honors. Also contrib- uting to the point total was se- nior Patty Rice, senior Erin Luby, and junior Chrissy Kuenster. The team then went into the District IV Championships seeking a strong performance in order to gain a bid to the NCAA Championships. The women placed fourth in the re- gional meet while Klemmer placed sixth, individually earn- ing all-region honors and an ai tomatic bid to the NCA,, Championships. The team latl found out that it earned an al large bid to the meet, qualifyinj as a team for the first time sine 1993. As head coach Tii Connelly said of this honor, It pretty rewarding becaus we ' ve had a pretty good se; son.

Because of this hard work and dedicated train- ing during the summer months, the men ' s cross country team finished yet another impressive season in 1999. The year began somewhat prophetically, with first place titles at both the Valparaiso In- vitational and the National Catholic Cross Country Cham- pionships, which Notre Dame hosted.

But for the first time since 1 992, the Irish were defeated in the opening round. They faced a strong Ohio State team, and al- though the Irish both out hit and out blocked the Buckeyes, after four games the Irish came up short. Captain Mary Leffers, who had ten blocks and twelve digs in the match, said, Our hit- ting and blocking were great, but we struggled with our passing and defense. Leffers received the honor of 1 999 Big East Player of the Yeai and eamed conference player of the week three times during the season. She is the Irish career leader in hitting percentage and was ranked fifth nationally in blocks per game for the 1999 season. Junior setter and captain Denise Boylan led the team in assists per game as well as ser- vice aces per game. This season she moved up to second in the Notre Dame record books in both total assists with 3,29 1 and an assist average with 1 1 .84 per game. Because of her outstand ing play this season. Boylan eamed a spot on the all-Big East first team. Two players named to the all- conference second team were Christi Girton and Kristy Kreher. Girton led the team in both kills and digs per game.

The team ' s next competition was at the Legends of Indiana Intercollegiate where they com- peted against a 1 6-team field to tie with Miami of Ohio for an- other first. This marked the first time in the history of the Notre Dame men ' s golf program that an Irish squad finished first in back- to-back tournaments. This re- markable success was led by sophomore Steve Ratay who captured medalist honors. Also essential to the team ' s victoiy was junior Alex Kent who was only playing in his second career tour- nament with the Irish. Tlie team continued their strong fall season by placing third in the 19-team Xavier Invitational. Once again they broke a record.

Troy Murphy, last season ' s Big East Rookie of the Year and team MVP, was back, along with a solid core of players looking to reach the NCAA tour- nament.

Playing at 23 Seton Hall, he nailed a buzzer-beater with 0.3 seconds left on the clock, remi- niscent of the Ohio State game earlier in the season. Murphy ' s 35 points during that same outing matched his sea- son high and helped him earn Big East Player of the Week honors for the sixth time this season. The Irish then lost their next three games before ending the season with a win over Georgetown. Murphy and Graves both posted double- doubles, while Dillon added nine assists without taking a shot. Notre Dame opened the Big East tournament still clinging to dreams of playing in the NCAA tournament. Things started well, as the Irish played to a 74-62 win over Rutgers. Unfortunately, the next round brought a 6 1 -58 loss to Miami. Tliough making the field of 64 for the NCAA tournament did not follow, the season was not yet over. Accepting a bid in the NIT tournament, the first round found the Irish defeating Michigan. The game was tight, tied at halftime, but making more free tlirows than the Wolverines even attempted gave Notre Dame the 75-65 edge. At press time the Irish were preparing for their second round game against Xavier. The season was one of great achievements for the Irish.

Poll Po2«iitions Irish remain among the nation ' s best by Lynette Paczkowski The story of the Notre Dame women ' s basketball team has been a fairy tale. Not long ago, the Irish struggled with medi- ocrity, but all that changed a few years ago. Since then, Irish women ' s basketball has consis- tently been a force in the NCAA, earning spots in the top polls. This year, the team opened the season ranked 7th in the AP poll. More than rankings, though, contributed to an optimistic outlook. The Irish returned four starters. Junior Ail-Ameri- can Ruth Riley was a finalist for the Naismith Player of the Year Awiird and was also selected for the 1999 World University Games Team. Meanwhile, jun- ior Kelly Siemon was playing with the Big East Nike Women ' s Bas- ketball All-Stars. The women did not disappoint, as by early December the team had jumped out to a 4-1 start, with Riley being named Big East Co-Player of the Week, and freshman guai ' d Alicia Ratay re- ceiving accolades of her own, as Rookie of the Week. Three games later, two of them wins, Ratay was still prov- SCOREBOARD ND Opp, Ohio All-Stars 94 85 Providence 90 60 Sweden 76 51 Boston College 72 59 Toledo 68 52 Pittsburgh 81 74 Illinois 67 .11 St. John ' s 94 51 Butler 11 57 Villanova 70 52 North Caroline 99 86 Rutgers 78 74 Liberty 85 68 Miami 83 68 Purdue 61 71 Connecticut 59 11 Michigan State 84 54 Florida Intl. 68 62 Bia East Tournament U.S.C. 74 59 Miami 67 52 Valparaiso 88 63 Rutgers 72 81 Marquette 75 60 West Virginia 75 54 NCAA Tournament Georgetown 82 60 San Diego 87 61 Seton Hall 80 52 G.

Riley also found success in the Orange Bowl, becoming the 1 5th player in Notre Dame Women ' s Basketball histoi ' y to score 1 ,000 points. The Lish ended 1999 by host- ing Valpaiaiso. The decisive 88- 63 victory was the fourth con- secutive win for the Irish, now 8-2 on the season. After opening 2000 with a 75-60 win over Marquette, the Irish opened conference pla against West Virginia.

Behind Riley ' s 23 points and Siemon ' s 14 rebounds, the women scored a 72-59 victory, tying a school record with 1 5 consecutive victories. Siemon was named Co-Player of the Week, and Ratay was again Co- Rookie of the Week. Ratay re- peated the honor the following week, a week which also saw Danielle Green score her 1000th point. The next week, after a 70-52 victory at Villanova, the women traveled to Rutgers, where Ratay successfully made 7 of 7 three- point attempts, notching her sixth Rookie of the Week honor, while Riley picked up her second Player of the Week honor, hav- ing complemented Ratay ' s feat with a double-double of her own. Defeating Miami at home marked the first time the women went undefeated at home in the regular season. Unfortunately, their 20-game winning streak was snapped by the 1 Connecticut Huskies. After opening the Big East toumament by defeating Miami, Rutgers then turned the tables on the Irish, knocking the Irish out of the toumament, 81-72. The Irish, however, were still NCAA bound, and they opened the tournament at home on St. Patrick ' s Day. Wearing green, the Irish downed San Diego, 87- 61. Two days later, the Irish forced 1 9 turnovers, dominating George Washington, 95-60. At press time, the Irish wen awaiting the Tulane Texas winne: in the Sweet Sixteen.

Notre Dame Women ' s Basketball has had a string of 7 consecutive 20-win seasons. h:iski-lh;ill Ro i ing to Oioi mpressive second year appearance by Jim Breslin As the youngest varsity sport at the University of Notre Dame, Women ' s Rowing has entered competitive collegiate athletics with the enthusiasm and excellence characteristic of the Notre Dame tradition. In their second year as a varsity sport, the ladies had an impres- sive season. The strong leadership of head coach Martin Stone pro- pelled the team forward to earn considerable recognition. Pam Mork assumed the position of assistant coach during the sum- mer. Her work with the novice squad and with recruiting led to further improvements for Notre Dame Rowing. Led by captains Katrina Ten Eyck, Kelly Natter, and Eliza- beth Nerney, the team opened their season with a very strong showing in the fall. Their power was enhanced by sophomore Michelle Olsgard who was fortunate enough to train with the U.S. National Team throughout the summer. Together, the team made a no- table appearance at their open- ing contest, the Head of the Rock Regatta, with the Irish lightweight eight team fmishing third. Continuing their rise to glory, the women took two gold and two silver medals in the Head of the Elk Regatta. The open eight boat also had another strong performance. With the momentum of these successes behind them, the team raced into winter training for the spring season. During this time, they participated in speed-order racing to determine rowing and boat placements for the spring season. As the women pre- pared for spring competition, their morale was further boosted by the Collegiate Row- ing Coaches Association US Rowing Collegiate Coaches Preseason Poll that ranked the Irish lightweight eight boat 14th in the nation, impressive for such a young sport. Competing in a sport that requires much strength, coor dination, and athletic prowess, the Notre Dame Women ' s Rowing team showed great depth, all the way down to the novice squads. The amount of time and effort required of these student-athletes deserves con siderable applause for such dedication. 1 999 Rowing Melissa Alberding Erin Kiemicki Barbera Arleth Mary Lampe Leah Ashe Lauren Lyons Allison Bartsh Courtney Mercer Kim Benard Katherine Miller Katie Besson Joslyn Moreau Amy Braun Cassandra Murphy Claire Bula Kerri Murphy Katherine Burnett Kolleen Myers Maureen Can- Kelly Natter Angela Chaput Sarah Nelson Katie Cleary Eli .abeth Nerney Kelly Cooney Michelle Olsgard Kristen Courtney Sandra Peterson Emily Deye Meghan Raleigh Tara Driscoll Cassandra Stuart Megan Feely Katrina Ten Eyck Eileen Gribben Kristen Vandehey Kathryn Hammel Quinn Vandenberg nt Sports Intimnalior Allhdiigh many ol the women wore compL-tnig in Ihcir tirsl rcgatt;i. the Irish, under ihe direelum and eneouragemenl of heac coach Martin Stone, made an impressive showing at the Head of the Elk Regatta in the fall. sports ■• % k . ; Ihc rowers on the varsity eight hoal deiu- The 1999-2000 Women ' s Rowing Team, onstrated deiliealion that earned them a ineluding both varsity and novice squads.

Oaining Respeet Irish show stamina in tough CCHA by Brad Goff Throughout the 1999-2000 season, the Irish hockey team constantly counted on both the leadership of its veteran players and the stellar play of the squad ' s highly touted freshman class. While the overall record of the leers presently stands below the .500 mark, they are cur- rently 9-8-5 in the tough Cen- tral Collegiate Hockey Associa- tion. With six games left in the regular season, the Irish look to hold on to their current 5th place conference position and host a play-off series. The Irish currently find them- selves with an overall record of 1 2- 1 4-6, having amassed a total of 75 goals and 123 assists in 32 games. Dan Carlson led the team in total points with 23. Carlson and senior captain Ben Simon were two of last year ' s top four scorers, returning to lead the Irish offense. Defensively, the Irish were led by a strong group of experi- enced veterans. Seniors Nathan Borega, Tyson Fraser and Sean Molina all served as key play- ers for the team this year. The duties between the pipes this season have been split between Tony Zasowski and Jeremiah Kimento.

The Irish used a combination of stellar goaltending. a smoth- ering defense, and timely goal scoring to give their fans several great moments throughout this season. Overall, the season was very successful for the Irish, with many team and individual accomplish- ments. In their biggest win of the season, Notre Dame shut out Michigan State by a score of 1 - 0. The Irish beat the Spartans for the first time since 1 978.

At the forefront of the team is Suddarth, Notre Dame ' s most decorated swimming and diving athlete, with 5 All-American honors and 4 Big East Champi- onship wins. The season began in a aish as the women quite successfully swept the opener, the Notre Dame Relays. After four more wins against Colorado State, Metro State, Texas Christian, and Pittsburgh, the ladies dominated the Notre Dame Invitational. At the same time, three Irish swimmers, sophomore Brooke Davey, junior Carrie Nixon, and senior Shannon Suddarth, swam in the 1999 U.S. Open, each presenting a strong showing for Notre Dame. After defeating 11 rankec Northwestern and Rice in a paii of dual meets, the Irish met anc conquered Illinois and 8 Michi- gan.

Leading the team in distance swimming was sophomore Jonathan Pierce, last year ' s Big East champion in the 1650 freestyle. Seniors John Lubker, record-holder in the 500 freestyle, and Sean Casey were also important players, helping the Irish head into the season with a strong team. Coach Welsh also believed the Irish held a big advantage in diving with senior diver Herb Huesman returning after an in- jury took him out of the water last season. In addition, the tal- ents of top recruits Tony Xie and Joe Miller kept diving expecta- tions high. The season opened at home with the Notre Dame Relays. The Irish dominated the meet, winning twelve of the thirteen events, and setting a new meet record in the 400 medley relay with a time of 3:32.73. Before going into the Big East Champi- onships, the Irish defeated St. Bonaventure, taking eight of thir- teen events. Sophomore Ernie Teo was a triple event winner in the dual meet, winning the 50 tini 100 freestyle in addition to tl 400 freestyle relay.

Krol, Mazur, McCullough, and freshmen Meagan Call and Liza Boutsikaris all fenced in the meet, which helped determine the qualifiers for the 2000 Olympics and the 2000 Junior Cadet World Championships. At the home meet on Janu- ary 30, the team went 5-1, los- ing only to defending national champion Penn State. Strong performances by the women helped lead the team to victories over Duke, Air Force.

The team fin- ished the season with an impres- sive 41-14 record and a 20-5 Big East record. Notre Dame ' s 1999 starting lineup included several players in new positions. Third baseman Brant Ust made the move to shortstop. Alec Porzel returned to the infield as starting second baseman, and JeffFelker moved back to first base where he played for most of 97. Ben Cooke and Jeff Perconte shared the duties in right field, while in the outfield, leftfielder Matt Strickroth and centerfielder Steve Stanley, both freshmen, started the season. In the meantime, Andrew Bushey took over Ust ' s vacated spot as third baseman. Freshman Paul O ' Toole and jun- ior Matt Nussbaum were also impressive contributors for the Irish.

Coach Kevin Corrigan earned his 100th career victory in the team ' s 10-8 win over Hobart. After defeating Butler, the Irish lost a close match in overtime to Hofstra and then continued their downward spiral against Georgetown and Ohio State. Following two victories, the team went into their last regu- lar season game against Harvard, hoping to earn them- selves a spot in the NCAA Tour- nament. After coming back from a four point deficit, sopho- more midfield Steve Bishko scored the tying goal with 2:3 1 remaining on the clock. He then sent the Irish into the tourna- ment by scoring the winning goal with a mere three seconds left in the match. Kirk Howell kept the Irish in the game by registering eight saves against Harvard.

After losing to number 19 Vanderbilt. the Irish put forth a valiant first half effort against number 3 Duke. The team scored three goals to Duke ' s four and showed that they were still contenders. The way we played in the first half is proof that we can play with the top teams in the country, said Irish head coach Tracy Coyne. Duke finished their scoring chances better in the second half and showed why they are the third-ranked team in the coun- try. The Irish were led by two-time captain senior Kerry Callahan and sophomores Lael O ' Shaughnessy and Courtney Calabrese. O ' Shaughnessy led all scorers with 50 goals and 69 points. Callahan finished the year with 32 assists and led all the Irish by 1 2.

The Irish team looked forward to a season of stunning victories and superior individual play. Facing both Hawaii and Yale during the opening season play, the women aced the competition and showed off their skills. Throughout the season, the team racked up points and held firm ground.

Their coach- ing and leadership has helped the Irish Women ' s Tennis program improve greatly. The team has been moving up in the NCAA rankings at a constant rate over the years, demonstrating the ex- cellence of the Notre Dame ath- letic tradition in all sports. As the spring season com- menced, the Irish continued their astounding climb up the rankings, despite seventeen scheduled matches with top-25 opponents. By March, the women were ranked 1 5th and went on to de- feat 1 2th-ranked Northwestern (6-3), thanks to powerful doubles play.

They had their best ever show- ing at both the Big East Cham- pionships, claiming third place, and at the NCAA champion- ships, tying for seventeenth. Junior Ail-Ameri can JoAnna Deeter had an incredible season. At the Big East Indoor Cham- pionships she ran a school record and finished first in the 5.000 meter. In the NCAA out- door Championships, she fin- ished fourth in the 5,000 meter and third in the 3,000 meter. Deeter made Notre Dame his- tory by becoming the first Notre Dame woman to be named an AIl-American in both track and cross country. Freshman Liz Grow had a very impressive start to her col- legiate career. In her first meet she set three records. In both the Big East Indoor and Outdoor Championships she posted sec- ond place finishes in the 400 meter, as well as taking a third place finish in the 200 meter at the outdoor championships.

While the news of the world and our campus may appear somewhat daunting, there are milestone moments that can be captured as defining an age. This year bridges a decade, century, and millen- nium; and from Newt to Nazz, and Bookstore to Bengal Bouts, its attractions, performances, celebrations, debates, and dramas are hallmarks of our era. It is important to take a few steps back from the rush and bustle of every day life and reflect on the phenomenal occasions of this pivotal year. 1 ' ' ff lf ' AK L m lir ' 1 ■..

Although the seem- ingly permanent frost of winter is finally broken, and one can walk around in just jeans and a sweatshirt rather than a down feather- lined parka and seven pairs of wool socks, something seems to be missing from the crisp air ol the previous autumn. That something is the sport which is the heart and soul of our beloved university: football. Yet, for one brief shining moment each spring for the past sixty-nine years, every die-hard Notre Dame football fan has had the opportu- nity to witness a glimpse of the Irish in action. The annual Blue and Gold Game splits the Irish into two teams and stages an intra-squad scrimmage with game-like conditions. It is an Irish football fan ' s dream come true, an all Notre Dame football game. In a more practical sense, however, the coaching staff uses the game to evaluate the progress of the team. This game also helps them realistically assess the talent they have, or do not have, at any given position to help determine what kinds of players they need to re- cruit for the upcoming season. Watching their team interact also helps coaches formulate a game plan catered to the team ' s talent. The Blue and Gold game on April 24th, 1999 was no different in this regard . Pholoby: Job Turner The Irish entered the game with many question marks, as graduation had arrived for their all-time leading rusher, Aut Denson, and four out of five starters from the offensive line. Defensive questions arose as well with the loss of four-ye ' starter Kory Minor. However, the Irish showed much promise for the upcoming season with stellar performances 1 Tony Driver and Tony Fisher as running backs, and some solid play from a mostly inexperienced line. Defensively, f Irish looked very cohesive, despite the loss of their emotional leader. All in all, the Blue and Gold game showcased a vi talented, if inexperienced, Irish team, giving their tans hope for a promising fall campaign. fi SPfS lue by g a b e c a s s el Iveai-iii-rcview Irish explain Jarious Jackson shows his .ipprecialion tor ihe support of the Notre Dame faithful. hhH h .JubTunKl ycai-iii-rcMCU l Cool, calm, and collected in shades, this guitarist concentrates on his technique.

The Joyce Center played its usual role ot host .tor the fights, which have developed quite a dedicated follow- ing of both participants and fans over the years. Boxers came in all shapes and sizes, but their goal was one in the same: service to those in need. Most people associated with the Bouts, whether participant or fan, know the type of physical commitment it requires from the boxers. They train six days a week for the six weeks prior to the rounds for the chance to get six minutes of ring time il they can make it to the finals. Yet this physical sacrifice is minuscule when compared with the people for whom the boxers really fight. The proceeds from ticket, poster, and program sales associated with the Bengal Bouts are used to fund the missions of the Brothers oi the Holy Cross in the Bay of Bengal, or the country of Bangladesh. In 1999 the fights drew interest and crowds enough to raise over $50,000 for the missions. Expectations for this year ' s earnings were even better, as the intramural club made a concerted effort to spread the word among its members and fans about its main goal for the 2000 campaign: to raise awareness of and funds lor, th missions. The Brothers of the Holy Cross help to nourish, shelter, clothe, and educate the destitute population o Bangladesh. Thus, as the program ' s most involved director, Dominic J. Nappy Napolitano, who served as the head o the organization for fifty-five years, once said, strong bodies fight so that weak bodies may be nourished.

The lec- ture, Living in the Age of Possibilities, was sponsored by the Student Union Board. in discussing American politics and U.S. involvement m Kosovo, Gingrich stressed the United States ' role as leader for the rest of the world. As the most powerful country in the world, the United States needs to take responsibility and step to the forefront ot leadership. 1 lis well-attended lecture focused on the Kosovo crisis and the need tor victory, espe- cially in terms of the American response. The whole world is watching us throw a temper tantrum. We can ' t just drop some bombs, accept some paper solution, walk out of there and leave [Slobodan} Milosevic {president of Yugoslavia] the victor, said Gingrich. Once the U.S. makes an irrevocable decision, we have to win. '  iV- Gingrich also outlined a four-step model which can be used to obtain successful lead- ership in the world today. This plan includes strategics, projects, and tactics, with a great emphasis on vision. Gingrich accentuated the importance of the role which America ' s youth plays in the future of the country. Freedom is an inheritance trom ur parents and you have a moral obligation to give a stronger and better America VI) than you inherited [to your children}, said Gingrich. he former Speaker of the House also commented on President Clinton when questions were raised from the floor. Regarding Clinton, ingrich stated. In the long run, every now and then, countries make mistakes. Newt Gingrich was first elected as Speaker of the iouse in 1995, and reelected in 1997, a first for any Speaker since 1928. fpNeMt by Joanna fee vear-in-rev B07 Back in 1972, when tube socks and short shorts were still in on basketball courts across the country, a five-on-fi tournament was born on the pavement of the Notre Dame campus. They called it Bookstore Basketball, named afi the courts that used to occupy the space behind the old bookstore. Bookstore, as the competition is affectionately known, completed its 28th installment last April, with Malicious Pn ecution and Fox Force Five respectively winning the co-ed and women ' s divisions. However, in the nearly three decac of its existence, the largest five-on-five basketball tourney in the world has undergone some changes. First off, to look at it now, the name Bookstore Basketball seems a little out of place. The demolition of the bookstore last year also abolished the lamed courts and the tournament ' s namesake. Secondly, being the largest tourii players scramble tor possession of the ball. ment in the world implies that a huge number of teams are expected to bring the courts to life after a long winter, e when cold weather lingers. Roughly fifty teams ran up and doi the courts the first year. However, participation has rapidly incrta over the years, thereby making the event bigger and better til before. Because of this, last year ' s total ol 587 teams is conside low by current standards. Undoubtedly, Bookstore has grown changed from its first days, but its essence is still the satne. Whet teams wear tube socks, short shorts, and play to get a laugh ou ' the crowd, or are actually competing for one ol those elusive tit what made Bookstore great in ' 72 remains the same today: five frie laying pickup basketball just like they used to back home.

This year marked the 17th anniversary of this annual event whose popularity seems to grow each season. It provides a welcome dis- traction from the hectic close of another academic year by giving students the chance to express their creativity and dorm spirit. Crowds of students flock around the perimeter of St. Mary ' s Lake to watch their classmates and roommates battle it out tor the wmning trophy. Due to the competitors ' ingenuity, the races are always colorful. Some arrive sporting their dorm colors, while others show up in full costume. Throughout the years, the boat races have fea- tured all sorts of crazy antics like boats made entirely of empty kegs or from a pair of couches strapped on floatation devices. Some of the more competitive dorms do, however, take the races more seriously. The crafting of the boats and the careful selection of each dorm ' s rowing crew is an intense and involved process for those who have their sights set on taking home the trophies for the Men ' s and Women ' s divisions. Fisher Hall organizes and runs the event, and usually rows tor the Men ' s title each year. In order to finance the event, besides seUing refreshments, the dorm also sells endorsement slots) local businesses whose names then appear on the booths at the regatta and on the clothing sold. All proceeds ;: donated to the Andre House, a shelter for the homeless in Arizona. While providing a welcome change from if monotony of the cold, gray days of studying and sleep deprivation, the Fisher Regatta simultaneously helps out a wortf cause.

Suzanr:c Kl !: mahfeaees by dan smith vear-in-review Bil Early Monday morning the 26th ot April, 1999, the ever luminous spotlights that shine on the Dome gave way to the pale moonlight. The campus experienced a blackout that reportedly caused all but one residence hall to lose power. As fire alarms sounded and detex- ed doors malfunctioned, students congregated out on the quads. Although power was lost around 1:00 a.m., and the outage barely lasted an hour, it was nearly 3:30 a.m. by the time students com- pletely settled down. As students were entering the final week of classes for the semester, lofts had just been taken down and left outside the residence halls tor removal. According to University officials, six fires were set using these loft materials, couches, and toilet paper. Bottles of li- quor were even used to add hiel to the fire. Among the fires, one in front of Fisher Hall reached a height of twelve feet. Another blaze caught a tree on fire at Main Circle before it was doused by the Notre Dame Fire Department. As the N.D.F.D. worked to extinguish one fire, students continued building more in new areas throughout campus. Some students watched from afar, stunned and awestruck by the student Pholo (..Hino y 111 Kevin Daluni, 77u ill community ' s response. Others attempted to prevent security from extinguishing the bonfires by standing in tronit them and the fire vehicles. Still others added a new twist by bringing out hot dogs and marshmallows to roast over e open flames. Through it all, campus security remained vigilant until all fires were contained and put out. Allegedly, one was injured, and burned portions ot the landscape, which were quickly repaired the following morning, were only visible scars.

This event was especially important to the students, as only the members of the senior Class of 2000 had ever been inside be- cause of the renovations that closed the building in July 1997. The remodeling took two years, bringing along with it a price tag of S ' 38 million. The Main Building, comprised of 4.35 million bricks, underwent an exterior renova- tion in 1995-96. This most recent remodeling was the first one in its history to be as comprehensive in the interior. The structure itself is 144,000 square-feet, and is comprised of five stories, the top of which had been closed for fifty years. This particular structure is the third building of its type in Notre Dame history. The second version of the building burned during 1879, which lett the future ot ND looking quite bleak. Nevertheless, the very famous golden dome of the Main Build- ing was added in 1882, and it was just a year later that the two-ton statue ol Mary was placed on top of the dome. The dome itself most recently rcguilded in 1988, is covered in over a thousand very thin strips ot 23-karat gold leaf liven the murals of Gregori in the main corridor, as well as all the other paintings, underwent renovation and repair.

In his opening comments, Koppel jocularly assured the crowd that his hair is, in tact, real. He then proceeded to disci journalism and its evolution in today ' s high-tech society. Koppel spoke about how the nature of time has changec and addressed the moral and ethical consequences we face as journalists during this transformation to a new age. Koppel commented on the way in which news today is defined as what has happened in the last hall-hour, rather th by what has true significance. In describing the changes in news broadcasts, Koppel characterized them as completf counter-intuitive. After discussing the nation ' s rapid accession technology, he spoke on the need to think about and reflect on o actions, lor it is dangerous to act simply because we can. He stress that journalists have a greater obligation than ever before to lead example. Koppel concluded his lecture by emphasizing that h ' esty, fairness, and decency should always be a journalist ' s guidi: principles regardless of the age in which we live.

Hi.iloln loMi H.ill Noire Dame ' s campus is itscit the very symbol of the Catholic ideals which are to be upheld through the implementation of Ex Corde Ecclesiae. |yi-.ar-in-i With a voce of 223-31 on November 10, 1999, the National Con- ference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) decided to implement Ex Corde Ecclesiae nearly a decade after the document was originally issued by Pope John Paul 11. The decision affected the 235 Catholic col- leges and universities within the United States. Concerns had been rising since the first appearance of the issue in August of 1990, espe- cially because the document threatened both institutional and aca- demic autonomy. Most of Ex Corde Ecclesiae, latin for From the Heart of the Church, involves issues of campus ministry, as well as the extent to which Catholicism is present on each campus. Nevertheless, the majority of the discord centers on the idea of giving local bishops greater and more direct control over schools within their dioceses. The portion of the document which draws the greatest amount of criticism is undoubtedly the requirement that Catholics teaching theological material at a Catholic university or college must have a mandatum granted by a competent ecclesiastical authority. Many view this aspect as a relinquishing of the university ' s autonomy and control to this competent authority, or more specifically, the local bishop of the dioceses. Phou h Liikf Ko alch le controversial mandate requires professors of theology to have a commitment and responsibility to teach authentic tholic doctrine and to refrain from putting forth as Catholic teaching anything contrary to the Church ' s magisterium. lis issue stirs discomfort within opponents who fear that the role of the bishop will gain greater control. Conversely, jse in favor of Ex Corde Ecclesiae place great emphasis on the role of the relationship between bishop and institution. n by Joanna fee The Department of Film, Television, and Theatre commenced its mainstage season with Henrik Ibsen ' s Hcdda Gabler, which ran from the sixth until the tenth of October 1999 in Washington Hall.

Hedda is resentful of her recent marriage to Jorgen Tesman, played by senior Sean Dwyer, and de- cides to meddle with the lives and affairs of the other characters. The main victim of her craftiness is her former suitor Eliert Lovborg, played by senior John Sample. Director Siiri Scott likened Hedda ' s actions to that of a spider, in that she weaves her web out of others ' lives, but then watches it unravel in front of her. Bruce Auerbach, the set designer, carefully created the set while recognizing the web-like aspect of Hedda ' s world. Her home was made of polished pipe and not solid walls, in order to represent at once the web in which she lures, and the prison in which she is trapped. Costumes were rented from Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Brothers Stuciios. Seventy-five percent of the costumes were vin- tage and also used in the movie, Titanic.

' lhii.in 1 Donnelly strived to create a great contrast between the garments worn by the beautiful Hedda, and the clothing w by the other characters who follow a more realistic, day-to-day life-style. Donnelly and Scott set the play in the 19 to achieve a different look than that of the play ' s original setting, the turn of the century. The set also used sculpt borrowed from the Snite Museum of Art to serve as Hedda ' s art collection. Scott ' s fourth student production was received, as the vision and spirit of Hedda Gabler infused both the rafters of Washington Hall and the minds of i audience. ent and exits by Joanna f e vear-in-review f Elierl Lovborg (played by senior John Sample I addresses Thea Elvstead (Junior Lisa Fabregal. as Hedda Gabler (senior Louise Edwards) gives her a mischievous look.

Grease was the word on campus during the weekend of February 10, 11, and 12 as it landed on the main stage of Washington Hall. Performed by the Pasquerilla East Musical Company, the musical featured new twists added to the traditional plot. Director Brian Seaman described the show as designed to make you smile and laugh and relive some high school days. As they were taken back to days of yore at Rydell High, the audience tapped their feet to the sounds of Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin ' , and We Go To- gether, in addition to thirteen others. Quincy Starnes choreographed the entire musical, giving some of the best known scenes, such as Greased Lightnin ' , a hip new fla- vor of originality. Starnes ' s dance experience was evident as his cast, perfectly in synch, pcrtormed an awesome rendition ot Born to Hand Jive. Cast and crew alike worked to create quite a memorable performance. The dreamy Teen Angel, played by Tommy Curtin, wowed specta- tors with his interpretation of Beauty School Dropout. As he took command ot the stage. Teen Angel was flanked by a female chorus dressed in angelic bathrobes and halos. Holly Hoffman, cast Pht)lii by: Suzanne Kcllni.iii as Rizzo, stunned the crowd with her solo performances of Look at Me, I ' m Sandra Dee and There are Worse Thi I Could Do. Elizabeth Racken (Jan) and Matt Baggetta (Roger) also received many a laugh as they executed a due J Mooning during the first act. The two lead characters, Sandy and Danny, played by Tiana Checchia and Adam Witmer, received much praise througl U the performance.

The Oh cncr Bouts of laughter could be heard resonating throughout O ' Laughlin Auditorium at Saint Mary ' s College during the first weekend in February. In its 24th year, the Keenan Revue was in full swing. This year ' s show, directed by Mike Romanelli and produced by Matt Johnson, had much support from Keenan Hall ' s new rector, Fa- ther Gary Ciiamberland. Tlie Revue, performed in two acts with a brief intermis- sion, featured its customary Keenan Revue News, humorously targeting nearly every residence hall and its corresponding stereotype. This year ' s acts included magician Christopher Welch, stand-up comedian Ryan Cimningham, and extraordinary pianist Kevin Dowtlell. The Keenan Revue band performed crowd favorites such as You Shook Me All Night Long, Mrs. Robi nson, antl D yer Maker. Matr Kloser, Eric Oligino, and Kevin Carney performed their own musical interpretation for their skit, Taco Bell ' s Canon. The Revue highlighted several of the traditional themes while placing greater em- phasis on football faux-pas and computer cluster annoyances. The second act gave way to squirrel hunting, sensitive guys, and Jesus at the Backer. Jim Cummings, Jacob Hennings, Sean Lyons, Mike Collms, and Alan Compton all helped to create one of the night ' s most amusing, and all too real, skits, First Phone Call, referring to the gender differences between female and male roommates ' initial phone calls to one another. s per custom, a few changes entered into the program for Saturday evening ' s performance, most notably the appearance of Grant Irons uring the opening act. Year after year, the Keenan Revue continues to remain a favored university event as crowds of students race to aim their free tickets or make that ever important phone call to their fellow classmates in Keenan Hall. thei n revue b ) j o a n n a f e e vear-in-i rg ' - ' I SOf •fF V I Photo by: Tom Hall 1 ) enior year is a series of meditations on one ' s existence and movement through time.

Bailey Mechanical Engineering Antonio G. Bajuyo Architecture T„ he life of a typical college student is characterized by many things — fun, work, friends, stress, and a great inability to find enough time to manage all of them. Often, students just need to get away. By senior year, most Notre Dame students have mastered this art and frequently jump in their cars and take off for a day. Or two. Or three. Common destinations include Chicago, the Dunes, away games, and an occasional trip across the border. While it ' s always fun to get away, it ' s even more fun when you run into fellow Domers. Senior Micah Murphy tells of a trip he took with friends to Windsor. Canada, a popular spot for weekend getaways. At one point, just after the bars closed, Notre Dame students all converged on one block, and the singing of the victoi march and ' We Are ND ' chants ensued on the four corners of the street, Murphy recalls. But perhaps more than the planned activities ofthe final destination, .students remember the fun they have getting there. After all, who can ' t help but become closer to a group of friends when confined to a tiny car for hours on end with nothing but some music and themselves to keep entertained. MAGGIE CLARKE REAL BIG FISH These guys show the results of a hard day ' s work. Al- though a little different from the usual work bur- dens of ND students, the effects are equally impres- sive. THE WINDY CITY Chicago is jusl a few hours away, and consequently a popular getaway destina- lion. These members of the Class of 2000 lake it all in during iheir 1447 class trip. DciiiM M.

Calcagn English Economics O enior Week is the period between the end of classes and graduation. The time is usually spent sitting around the dorm doing nothing. This is a change of pace from the school year, when students generally sit around the dorm doing nothing but complaining about how much work they have to do. Throughout the four years at Notre Dame, one learns how a dignified individual acts and how to follow rules. Although these rules are strictly followed throughout the year, Senior Week is a time when the rules do not seem to matter anymore. Everyone has a good time. Seniors road-trip to Chicago and to various theme parks. They relive their childhood and frolic on the quads, carefree. At the end of the week, parents and families begin to amve. There is a lot of hugging and kissing, and smiles of proud parents who are actually more happy than most of the graduates. The atmosphere is an odd mixture of excitement for the future and sadness about what is being left behind. Senior Week is one last time for students to relax, and say goodbye to ND before they enter the real world. PAUL SCHOFIELD L jjff 1 . Bi H 1 ' . c-TO| HiVv ' i H -j iLk.

Seniors toil over analogies, logic games, and cell diagrams, and in the process, hand over thousands of dollars and hours to Kaplan and the Princeton Review. A large percentage of the senior class continues on to graduate school, be it to postpone the flood of real world responsibilities, or actually to fulfill the desire to master a field of study. For some, the years of work here at Notre Dame were just the beginning. Despite this, though, the accomplishment felt when setting that pencil down is a milestone to remember. Whether one envisions life as a college professor, surgeon, coiporate lawyer, or management consultant, graduate school is a necessary next step, and one ' s window of opportunity is determined by ETS, the ugliest word in the standardized test vocabulary. ALLSON MAIN (;limpsks of thk real world Studying abroad provides ample oppor- tunity to see the world and all the possi- bilities that lie ahead. This group spent the first semester of their junior year in London. ,IUST HANGING AROUND Although some students may have years of schooling still ahead of them, this is the last year of the craziness of dorm living.

Gerber Management Information Systems Kristin E. Gerber Psychology Theolog A rnving at Notre Dame for the first time, freshmen are confronted with a whole new world. It ' s hard to know what to expect, and finding someone to confide in and go to for support is often a challenge. Within a few short weeks,, though, most come to realize that every other freshman is in an identical position, and also that there are certain upperclassmen around that can provide insight into problems and offer advice to cope with them. These helpful upperclassmen frequently come in the form of resident assistants — authority figures, yet friends just the same. Although maintaining the balance between rule-enforcer and friend is often a struggle, the rewards are endless. Julie Reising feels, Being an RA is an amazing ministry, and no matter what happens during the year, 1 know that I will be able to look back and see how much I ' ve grown and changed as a person and influenced the lives of the women in my section. With an open door, an ever-present smile and stellar listening skills, RA ' s help make the home they ' ve known for four years feel like home for countless others. MAGGIE CLARKE POTS OF GOLD The staff of Lyons Hall gathers outside as a rainbow shines down on campus. Resident Assistants such as these make many sacri- fices in order to maintain the dedi- cation necessary for the dozens of students in their sections. BALANCING ACT Keough Hall RA ,loe Schneider works at his desk while on duty.

Television and The e B y the time senior year rolls around everything seems. ..well. ..familiar. Everything with the exception of off-campus living. While some have longingly eyed student apartment complexes since their first days on campus, others have been enticed to follow suit. A need for greater freedom and real life experience combined with the luxury of a car parked right outside the front door, spacious living quarters, and the lure of fine delicacies from local restaurants have proven too great of temptations for many seniors who subsequently venture into off-campus life. They scribble their signa- tures on the leases of their favored destination, whether it be Turtle Creek, College Park, Campus View, Lafayette, or some other fine establishment. They rally friends together to save one of Notre Dame ' s most unique and cherished qualities— unity. Roommates and neighbors aren ' t just fell ow dwellers, but friends and fun times just waiting to happen. Once off, eating out is no longer a Friday night extravaganza, trips to Meijer are triade more frequently, weekend getaways are now possible, nights out on the town occur more often, and a Wednesday night spent at the mall or movies is more commonplace, it ' s a whole new world. KRISTY KATZMANN GIRLS NIGHT Off-campus living offers many freedoms and opportunities while strengthening existing roommate and friendship bonds already in existence from residence hall life. These Turtle Creek residents share some quality time. PARIETALS? Most Domers will tell you that one of the best aspects ol off-campus living is lack ot supervision.

Leider English Philosophy Justin L. I.eineii el)er History w, ithout a doubt, Notre Dame is a magical place. Just stepping foot on campus takes you to a whole new world, as most people fall in love with this place on their first visit. Arriving on campus freshman year, students become even more attached. They make lifelong friends and get into their own cherished routines. So why would anyone want to leave Notre Dame, even for a semester? But something compels a huge portion of the student body to study abroad. Whether for a semester or a year, whether as a sophomore or junior, many students pack it all up, abandon their routines, and leave South Bend behind. And most look back on it as the best decision they ' ve ever made. Not only do they get to travel and see a new part of the world, they get to meet new people and form friendships with a group of students that they might not have otherwise known. Most are apprehensive about leaving, but upon returning home, they come to realize they wouldn ' t change their decision for anything. When else can you take off for Ireland for the weekend, spend Easter in Madrid, or bask on the beaches of southern Portugal for spring break? If 1 had time, money and another junior year. I would do it all over again, concludes Katie Harness. MAGGIE CLARKE GROUP EFFORT Studying abroad involves a lol more tlian study ing.

Mclntire History American Studi ' G raduation caps, black robes, diplomas, and a small picture in the yearbook-all signs that the inevitable is to come— leaving Notre Dame. Whether one has reveled in every moment lived under the Golden Dome or has desperately sought new and innovative ways to escape a semester or two at ND, most find themselves saddened at the thought of no longer living in a world where swiping an ID card to get into almost every building is a necessity, or where one has an e-mail account that ends with @ nd.edu. In expressing his sentiments on graduation, senior Matt Horsley contemplates that leaving here will be very hard. In four years here. I always seemed to want to get away for a day, but when you ' re gone, you can ' t wait to get back. No more cramming for finals, no more late night trips to LaFortune, and no more negative bank accounts from crazy ventures to the bookstore— that is, until you come back as an alum. Although it ' s time to move on, football weekends on campus are evidence that a part of you never really leaves. And the enduring friends and memories are evidence that a part of Notre Dame will follow you wherever your life may lead. ALISON MAIN H [ . Bfl m pH I m . 1 • ' I f l Am m r-jL.

Oatle Computer Engineering o nee the excitement of getting accepted to Notre Dame dies down, the real questions begin. You begin to wonder who you ' ll be living with for the next year. Roommates, more than anyone or anything else at Notre Dame, have the ability to change your life. They share the cramped quarters that on first sight seem like a joke. They share meals and late night chats. They share your life. Whether you get along famously or fight incessantly, roommates change each other and often come out of their living situations different people. With the end of freshman year comes the ability to pick your roommates and subsequently the people who will share the nitty gritty details of life with you. They will be your best friends for life, and somehow, no matter what ' s going on, they will be there for you. Dana Collins reflects on her freshman roommate and instant friend, April Hughes. I am currently trying to convince her to marry one of my brothers. I don ' t think I will have much luck. But hey, she ' s.almost one of the family, we might as well make it official. Either way, 1 know we will be friends for life. The uniqueness of the Notre Dame family and its ability to breed friendships makes these relationships even better.

Saxen Biological Sciences w here else in South Bend can you have a dfink with your backpack on, or run into your freshman year fling? Only at the Alumni Senior Club. On Wednesday nights, the club is a popular stopover for many students on the way home from studying. If you aie lucky enough to be best friends with the bartender, you may even get a few drinks at discount prices. The club is famous for its relaxed atmosphere. Unlike other South Bend es- tablishments, the typical dress includes sneakers and jeans. Plus, there are always more people at the dart boards than on the dance floor, a great relief to many guys. With its location right on campus, many students do not feel like they are going out and therefore can justify a little study break during the middle of the week. Michael Koenig says, I love Senior Bar because it is in the proximity of Fitzpatrick and Debartolo. That gives you the option of doing work for half the evening, then going out with the people you ' re working with, and see- ing frequent work-aholics just relaxing. Whether it is to be. reunited with an old tling or just to take a break from the books. Alumni Senior Club is the place to be on Wednesday nights (even if there ' s a 9:.30 on the schedule for Thursday morning). JENNIFER GENT HAPPY DAYS These guys find it hard to contain their excitement. Bonding with friends is something that is fairly easy to do with the relaxing atmosphere provided hy Alumni Senior Cluh. TOUGH GUYS Troy Leo and Brad Conners seem to have lost their dates at St. Ed ' s winter formal.

Tabis Finance Computer Applications | Oomehow between all the studying, the applications for graduate school, the job hunt, campus activities and trying to enjoy one last year with the Notre Dame com- munity, seniors feel the need to do more. While at the majority of campuses around the country volunteering is the work of a select few, an attempt to build resumes, or a requirement, at Notre Dame it is a way of life. Volunteering is the nonn, and by the time senior year rolls around, most students have completed a Summer Service Project, an Urban Plunge, the Appalachia Pro- gram, or have volunteered at one of the numerous or- ganizations in the suirounding South Bend community. Service programs, whether right here on campus or across the country, provide students with a chance to bond with fellow students, while at the same time help- ing those less fortunate. Many find that they take more away from these experiences than they contribute. They allow students to break out from the Notre Dame bubble and put everything that they ' ve learned here to use. Even the busiest of students can use a few hours away to relax and put things into perspective. More valuable lessons are learned in doing service than in any classroom. MAGGIE CLARKE AROUND THE GLOBE These Domers spent a year studying in Austria. In ad- dition to .studying abroad, inany students choose to do service projects in foreign lands. MOUNTAIN CREW Spending fall break on an Appalachia Seminar is a popular choice for many Notre Dame students.

KATE ROWLAND: DuHng Sophomorc Sibs, my ten- year old brother was riding his skateboard on God Quad and ran smack into Monk Malloy, knocking him over. Imagine the impact that had on my career here.

No one could have told me that come senior year, I would have the chance to serve as editor in chief and work with some of the most talented and creative people at this University. While nights have been long, and days have been endless, I would never sacrifice what Tve learned and the friendships I ' ve gained in exchange for a few more hours of free time. Each person who contributed to the 2000 Dome is unique and individualistic. But it is the group as a whole and the dynamics fostered among personalities and skill levels that have made this book and the experience of its creation one of the most successful yet. It was no easy task to design the first Notre Dame yearbook of the nev millennium. So much could be said; yet so much could be hastily overdone. I am immensely proud of the efforts and ideas of all involved who made this book one of insurmountable intelligence and class. You will not be forgotten and are deserving of more than a thousand thank you ' s. Jumping head on into yearbook for the very first time. Tara Churik mastered the fast-paced, dead- line-oriented job of Photography Editor like an expert. Her continual pursuit of high-quality, pro- fessional and on-time photos made everyone else ' s tasks more pleasant. I am forever indebted to Tara ' s sense of work ethic and responsibility. Although on leave for a semester, Kelly Potter ' s assistance to the Photography section was perva- sive. Her enthusiasm and smiles were always a welcome addition to meetings, and her talent and creativity while on assignment were impeccable. Maggie Clarke took on the job of Seniors Editor with immense spirit and determination. Attacking one arduous task after the other, Maggie demon- strated superior skills of concentration, motivation, and creativity as she spiced up her section, and the office, with her ever-present ingenuity and humor As Assistant Seniors Editor, Mary Beth Patterson showed an unending energy and dedication to her section. Even in the face of crisis, Mary Beth calmly and collectively instilled order and was consistently willing to always lend a hand. Ann Marie Tanimara ' s approach to the Academic section was both innovative and spirited. Her per- sistent positive attitude and intense devotion worked toward the ama ing completion of her en- tire section in one semester. Ann Marie was truly a valuable asset to the Dome. It was an unexpected pleasure to be able to work with Sarah McDonough once again. A distin- guished veteran of Dome, Sarah tried her talents at Campus Life this year and transformed it to be more original and engaging than ever. Sarah ' s talents will surely be greatly missed on subsequent edi- tions of the Dome. Taking over for Sarah in January and helping in many capacities first semester was Jennifer Gent, Assistant Campus Life Editor. Always a voice of reason and humor, Jen responsibly took on any task assigned to her. Consistently scurrying around campus to find the perfect photo, story, or source, Jen ' s efforts should be applauded. A source of comic relief, clever ideas, and refined efficiency, Tim Kuhn livened up the Organizations section and the office environment. Tims ability to feign any accent, sing any tune, or tell any joke, while perfecting his spreads, reminded us that the creation of a yearbook must also be a source of fun, in addition to a responsibility. As Sports Editor, Courtney Kirtley showed a mas- tery of aesthetics as well as athletics. Always working diligently at her desk or at the computer, Courtney pleasantly deemed the Dome office her second home. With carefully structured layouts, flawless copy, and innovative additions, Courtney rose above any challenge with an endless smile and energy. Carrying with her both a spirit perpetuated by smiles and laughter, as well as a professionalism rooted in a valued work ethic and a creative vi- sion, .loanna Fee imparted her own personal touches to Year-in-Review, giving her section a new and dynamic look. I want to thank Joanna for always being there and consistently lessening any pressure through her enthusiasm and himior. I definitely would not have survived this year with- out Kristy Katzmann as Managing Editor. From flawless fact-checking to boundless creative en- ergy, and from scrutinizing editing to constant as- surances that everything is going to be awe- some, Kristy has been more of a help than she can possibly imagine. Clearly directed toward suc- cess in anything she desires, Kristy should be proud of all that she has accomplished this year. Perhaps the strongest woman I have ever had the pleasure of working with, Adele Lanan has inspired and motivated me both within the realm of publica tion as well as in life. Through belief and faith, she granted me the uncommon and amazing opportu nity to be editor in chief of the Dome and sup- ported me throughout all endeavors, professiona and personal. I only wish that I could continue to work with Adele after graduation, for her confi dence is illuminating, and her visions culminate in success for all involved. Words cannot express my extreme gratitude to Carol Taylor for helping me with everything and anything over the past four years. Always with the perlect answer, paper, phone number, or word of encouragement, Carol has been vital to keepinj the production of the Dome running smoothly, will miss Carol along with her smile and laughte for years to come.
