Not even the unexpected addition of a third campus lake could mar Saturday’s rededication of Notre Dame Stadium. Although plumbing problems flooded the lower concourse with up to two inches of water early in the second quarter of Saturday’s contest, student and administrative reaction to the inaugural game in the new stadium has been positive. “Generally, everything went very well. The water is, of course, a problem we’ll be addressing,” summarized Mike The Observer/Kevin Dalum Smith, director of facilities engineering. Tours of the newly renovated Notre Dame Stadium were given to Notre Dame and local community members last week. Contrary to rumor, a burst water main did not cause Saturday’s flooding; eventually triggering the flooding. the toilets, in fact, need full water pres­ closed valve. overflowing toilets did.

G ifts for a Ju stice WVFI hopes for FM status by fall of 2000

By HEATHER COCKS News Editor

The road to a berth on the FM band is getting rocky for Notre Dame’s student-run AM radio station, WVFI. The station, which has researched the transition for the past three years, may not broadcast on an FM frequency until close to the year 2000, station manager Boo Gallagher said yesterday, cit­ ing difficulties in finding an available FM frequency. Last April, the officers of the University granted the station per­ mission to seek FM status with the Federal Communications Commission. The switch would expand WVFI’s listening range as much as four miles, encompassing Saint Mary’s College and some areas of South Bend. After getting the financial go-ahead from the University, WVFI hired its lawyers and is currently working with the FCC to find an open frequency over which the station can broadcast.
