With graduation hours away, and with Marilou Eldred waiting in the wings to assume the Saint Mary's College presidency, College officials reflect just how much the College has grown in Hickey's tenure as president. A chapter in the history of Saint Mary's College was brought to a closure with the announcement of Hickey's resig nation last April, marking the end of a 35-year career in high er education exclusive to Saint Mary's College. When Hickey assumed the presidency in 1986, he viewed the sesquicentennial as the ideal time to turn the College over to a new administration. "That seemed to be the perfect Hickey as vice president and dean moment of transition in leader- of faculty, 1975· ship which would allow a new president to set the agenda for and launch the next 150 years," Hickey said. However, the $30 million sesquicentennial fundraising campaign, coupled with the North Central reaccreditation review, set back those plans. As he officially leaves office on June 1st, Hickey will leave behind a long history at Saint Mary's College, having held positions in vir tually every level of leadership within the College, beginning as a biology instructor in 1960. He served as biology department chair, vice-president for academic affairs, vice-president and dean of fac ulty, and acting president twice, before assuming the role as the Hickey, after delivering his inaugural address and officially assuming the presidency of Saint Mary's ninth president of Saint Mary's College. College on Sept. 7, 1986. In Hickey's second year in office, the College gained national prestige as it made its debut in the U.S. News and World Report's top ten midwest liberal arts colleges. For the following three years, the College has ranked number one in its class - a feat only one other college in the nation has met. In addition to the accolades and awards, Hickey stresses development efforts such as establishing the Center for Academic Innovation, and the creation of the Presidential Merit Scholarship program as his greatest contributions to the College. Carrying the college through what is known as one of the most challenging times in higher education, Sister Rachel Callahan, chair of the Board of Trustees, said, "It is no accident that Saint Mary's is the number one Catholic women's college, and a good part of why that is so, is because of the kind of icon this president has been for the college," she said. Mary Lou Gorno, Chair of the College's Board of Trustees, agreed. "In the history of Saint Mary's College, the chapter on Dr. Hickey will be a long one," she said. Students as well seemed to support Hickey's decision, as student body president Jen Turbiak stated last year following Hickey's res ignation, "We thank President Hickey for all of his dedication. We respect him, and I believe the way in which he presented his resig nation shows his class and his pride for the college, Turbiak said. Reflecting on his term as the ninth president of Saint Mary's College, Hickey said, "I wouldn't hesitate to say that the Saint Mary's I assumed the presidency of in 1986 is a stronger, more sta Hickey presents a gift to the Pope in honor of the College's sesquicentennial. ble, and more intellectually exciting institution in 1996."

It began with an allegation by Steve Myers in his Gipper column, followed with a letter to the editor by Francis Cloran, and culminated with another letter to the editor concerning Senior Week. In addition to these public accusations, I have received several personal letters and phone calls. I have not written before now because I did not realize the widespread belief of these rumors and accusations. Furthermore, I felt that those who know me understood the facts concerning the events called into question. I did make an effort to contact each critic and discuss the issues at hand. I write now because of a letter I received that urged, "We want to hear from you, and until we do, what other choice do we have but to listen to rumors?" I would first like to address the charges that appeared in the Gipper. The only truth in the col umn was that a pub crawl took place, that I went on it, and that I did get left in Chicago. The event was not an official Class of '97 event. Money from the Senior Class Account was not used to fund it. It was organized by a pub owner in Chicago so that seniors moving to Chicago next year might become familiar with and frequent his bar. Some seniors who knew the owner sold tickets for him to cover the buses. It did not sell out. The next issue revolves around the Senior Class Formal. The reason the event was not publi cized more profusely, was that there was an unexpected holdup in the approval process which must precede advertising. The Office of Student Affairs was concerned with the food options that were going to be available at Union Station. The contract we had established called for cold finger foods, and Student Affairs thought we should add heated food. We did not have the funds to supply this option, so Student Affairs finally decided to pay part of the bill for us. In the end, through lim ited advertising and word of mouth, the event sold out and was a success. Finally, the most recent complaints have been about Senior Week. When this letter goes to print, the week will be over and I hope that it lived up to everyone's expectations. The class was allocat ed $5,000 for the week, and through fundraising this number was significantly increased. It is very difficult to program a week of activities for a class of over 2,000 with this limited budget. I did peti tion the Budget Committee for a $3,500 increase, but was denied this request. We based our ticket purchases on our budget, last year's Senior Week, and response to this year's Welcome Back Week activities. The trip to Cedar Point and the Cubs game both sold out. We hoped and expected that both of these events would sell out, and we encouraged those who were unable to get tickets to go on their own and meet the class. Neither of these activities is difficult to acquire tickets for. The class could not purchase additional tickets because of the corequisite (Student Affairs} that bus transportation also be provided. The budget was already overextended, and additional expen ditures could not be made. These were only two of 14 events that the class planned. I hope that the negative reaction concerning these ticket shortages did not discourage attendance at the other events. I apologize for any miscommunication surrounding class events in the last semester. It has been my privilege to serve you as a class officer for the past two years. I thank you for giving me this opportunity, and I look forward to continuing to serve you until new officers are elected at our five-year reunion. Best wishes in all that you do after graduating this weekend.

Even though they support campus bands and other musical groups, they often don't know when or where their favorites are performing, let alone know where to find this information. One brave Domer, however, decided to take action this semester and give our beloved music scene a boost by creating OpenMic- Notre Dame's first, only, and best Web-based campus music forum. Andy Brenner, a senior electrical engineering major living in Keough Hall, is OpenMic's creator and curator. Brenner is also the pianist for George and the Freeks (www.nd.edu/-egoldsch/), a member of the Folk Choir, and one of the founders of the Keough Kafe, a venue for campus musicians held weekly in Keough's first floor social lounge. Matt Mendlik "If I had one goal for my senior year, it would be to get this campus excited about music again," says Brenner on why he created OpenMic. OpenMic Zahm (www.nd.edu/-openmicl) will help Brenner achieve his goal in two key ways.

Hundreds will remember themselves sitting working for poor communities in Appalachia or spending around at the morning fixing houses with Christmas in April and oth ers spent much of their time tutoring impoverished chil dren. Some of these moments may bring a tear to the eyes of our graduating seniors as they watch themselves progress through four years. But many more Amy Schmidt, Kathryn Sutliff, memories will make them laugh like four guys in a car singing Wilson Phillips' "Hold Stacy Raczka, and Megan On" at the top of their lungs. Others will O'Neill reminisce about toga parties or SYR dates that kept falling asleep. Badin And the parties - oh the parties. They will remember fantastic par- ties and having wonderful times.

Carroll "I would like OpenMic to be a resource for every student; a place where people can go to on a regular basis," says Brenner. In the future, he would like to see the "Feedback" section expanded to include many forum discussion areas. Also, Brenner "Lou Holtz finally leaving. " would like to feature all music groups at Notre Dame, including choirs and members of the music department. Brenner is graduating this weekend, but OpenMic will continue to grow. In the fall, Andy Herman, a freshman business major from Stanford Hall, will be taking over the administrative duties of OpenMic. Herman is excited about his new responsibilities. About the future of OpenMic, Herman says, "[OpenMic] will give new bands a great opportunity to get some free publicity." Even though it has only been around for about a month, OpenMic has received almost 700 visits. But with a small personal budget, publicity is difficult. To remedy this, Brenner has displayed posters near the entrances of all campus computer clus ters. Brenner has also relied on word-of-mouth from the campus bands. Concerning Brian Welch the response to OpenMic, Brenner says, "I would like to thank the bands. They have Carroll been very supportive about everything I'm doing." Next fall, Brenner will be working for GE in their Medical Systems division. Even though he is leaving next month, Brenner has already left his mark at Notre Dame. "No parietals at Carroll Hall. " Brenner's enthusiasm and love for music will live on as long there is an OpenMic. Jason Huggins is a junior MIS major from Thousand Oaks, CA.

Don't let your life pass you by ... Weep not for the memories." College? --Sarah McLachlan pring is here again. South Bend is thawing out, the flowers are beginning to bloom and Saint Mary's College is graduating another class of mature young women. Although the challenges of school have been met and dealt with S accordingly, the class of 1997 are facing the next struggle of graduating - packing and moving out. Deciding what to take with as one embarks upon the real Courtney O'Rourke world can be a quandary. Along with the knickknacks, furniture and unreturnable books that have been Mishawaka, Indiana amassed in the last four (or five, sometimes six) years, the graduates will be taking Biology their memories of college in their hearts. Untangible and priceless, these touching moments are the stuff that teary-eyed reunions are made of. However, along with the monumental events are the everyday occurrences that one tends to forget off "Laughing my way through four hand. years here. " "It's the little things that I'll miss the most." says Amberly Herschberger, a gradu ating social work major. "Popping in on somebody at 2 a.m. to say hello. Things like that." When asked what their favorite memory is, the standard reply from many was that there was "too much" to recall. Although scrapbook-fillers such as certain SYRs, spring breaks and wild nights of bar-hopping were easy contenders for a favorite, it seemed that the warmest thoughts are made up of a million little things Jennifer Ligda put together. "I think that I will miss meeting with friends in the dining hall for breakfast and Evergreen Park, Illinois talking about the night before." Says Corrie Hanrahan, a double business and the Communications atre major. When taking a stroll down memory lane, here is a list of a few understated memo- ries that should jog the brain, but usually get lost in the shuffie of thought. "Going to Nick's at 8 a.m. on Saint 10) Roaming the floors of a Domer dorm trying to find a party. 9) Ordering pizza and watching a movie with people from your floor. Patrick's Day and having beer for 8) Your first buzz. breakfast. " 7) Countless all-nighters to finish assignments. 6) Midnight Meijer runs. 5) Waiting for the last shuttle at the Grotto on a Saturday night. 4) Going off campus for dinner freshman year. 3) Panicked trips to University Park mall for last-minute shopping. Gay/a Spenney 2) The guy that never called back. 1) Seeing bands play anywhere from the Joyce Center to Bridget's. Marshall, Missouri Although the applause will fade with the end of Saturday's commencement cere English/Communications mony, the memories will stay vivid and sharp in the minds of the Class of 1997. And hey, if connections to Saint Mary's College dwindle, it's only a few years until the "big ten" reunion. So clear your calenders for the first weekend of June in 2007, "Playing freeze tag with shower and most of all, "weep not for the memories .... " shoes in the rain."
