The decades-old festival started at 11:30 a.m. Monday with a T-shirt giveaway as well as a tie-dye booth outside of PAT COVENEY/The Observer O’Shaughnessy Hall.

MARKET RECAP FRANCE Airline losses climb to $1 billion Ash clouds in Iceland leave passengers stranded; industry demands compensation

Associated Press

PARIS — Airline losses from the volcanic ash cloud climbed above $1 billion Monday, and the industry demanded compensation from the European Union as officials agreed to let flights resume on a limited basis. Airlines are losing as much as $300 million per day, with European compa- nies like British Airways suffering the most. An umbrella group for the air- line industry criticized European leaders’ handling of the disruption, which has grounded thousands of flights to and from Europe for the past five days. “It’s embarrassing, and a European mess,” said Giovanni Bisignani, chief executive of the International Air Transport Association. The group complained that it saw “no leadership” from govern- ment officials. “It took five days to organize a conference call with the ministers of trans- port, and we are losing $200 million per day (and) 750,000 passengers are stranded all over.

If this can- not be then the circulation desk should be open at least from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. so then people arriv- ing and leaving work can be helped by someone. As it is now the circulation desk does not open until 9 a.m. while classes start at 8:30 a.m. This is inconvenient for faculty and students who might need their help before an 8:30 a.m. class. Having someone at the Library who can answer questions, sort Those ND bathroom out complaints and check out books when the machines cannot, would be great.

Jessica Monokroussos bothers Administrative Assistant During my time here, I have had a bit of a gripe with Notre O’Shaughnessy Hall Dame’s bathrooms. I had tolerated the issue, but it came to a April 16 head recently. The other day, I was working on a project at the brand new Stinson Remick building. I was there for a while, so inevitably I had to use the bathroom. I went out to find it, and found the women’s bathroom. Now, it would EDITORIAL CARTOON make sense that if you find the women’s bathroom, the men’s bathroom should be close by, right? Well, whoever built Stinson-Remick didn’t think so! After looking around for a few minutes, I found a map, and it turns out the men’s bathroom is on the complete opposite side of the building — nowhere near the women’s bathroom. Not only that, but I had to go through a maze of hallways to find it. In the end, what should have been a routine trip to the bathroom turned into a 15 minute game of hide-and-seek. That’s valuable time when you need to use the bathroom! Also, Stinson- Remick isn’t the only building with confusing bathrooms. Many other buildings do too, including Hayes-Healy/Hurley, Fitzpatrick and several others. In most buildings, bathroom locations make almost no sense. Now I know it would be near impossible to move bathrooms around in current build- ings, but the next time a new building is built, could you please put the men’s and women’s bathrooms next to each other and at least sort of easy to find? And don’t even get me started on the men’s bathrooms in girl dorms. Those are harder to find than Waldo and Carmen San Diego combined.

Even though Just Wet played a tough defense at first, Alexander’s Grill outplayed them as the shots began to fall. Trying to remain in the game, Just Wet hit some well-contest- ed shots, but they didn’t prove to be enough. With a rather comfortable lead at halftime 11-6, Alexander’s Grill dominated the second half. Defense became key for the team as they turned numerous steals into transition points. Just Wet continued to fight back, but they were not able to prevail. “We went in there playing hard,” Andree said. “We want- ed to be physical with them.” Just Wet consisted of senior Andrew Scheid, juniors Tom Friel and Matt Lauritzen and freshman Joey Connor.
