Along with President Clinton, the two men will share a stage on the South Lawn of the White House, facing 3,000 guests - former Presidents Carter and Bush, dozens of foreign ministers, and legions of Americans, Arabs and Jews who have tried to make peace in the Middle East. .

"An awful lot of taboos are being broken in the last few days," said Secre- tary of State Warren Christopher. The document will likely be signed byIsraeliForeignMinisterShimon Peres and Arafat's top aide, Mahmoud Abbas. White House workers were dusting off the desk used to ink the 1979 peace agreement between Israel and Egypt- the only Arab-Israeli peace ever signed. On everyone's minds was whether Rabin and Arafat would shake hands. Even before Rabin and Arafat set foot here, there was trouble. Three Israeli soldiers were killed by Muslim militants opposed to the ac- cord, and the thorny dispute over the future of Jerusalem surfaced. ND weekend Casau crowscaus& ..J11..id..1Il1Is By WILL McCAHILL DAILY STAFF REPORTER Despite the intense emotions run- ning high on both sides of the Michi- gan-Notre Dame football rivalry, local police and bar owners reported a rela- tively peaceful weekend. The Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD) put extra officers on patrol both Friday and Saturday nights, hop- ing to nip any violence in the bud and to avoid repeating events of the Notre Dame game weekend two years ago, when police were forced to use teargas to control crowds after Michigan's vic- tory. AAPD Sgt. Khurum Sheikh said home football weekends are always busy for police, but games against Notre Dame, Michigan State andOhioState always attract extra attention. "Considering the number of people in town, people were fairly well behaved," Sheikh said. Police were called in to shut down a lot of out-of-hand parties, Sheikh said - "typical weekend things." Sheikh said officers on the street concentrated on stopping individuals with open containers of alcohol. He added that, by doing this police hoped to cut down on the number of drunk fans roaming the streets who might be more likely to cause trouble.

"Go Irish" signs on every car coming into town and faces painted with "ND" were enough to let University students know that the Notre Dame football team had not come alone. Ned Andrews drove 437 miles from Hobart College in New York just to cheer on the Irish. "The trip was definitely worth it because Notre Dame won," said Andrews, whose par- ents are Notre Dame alums. "Sitting with the Wolverines was hell, but we won so it was heaven and hell at the same time." Most Notre Dame fans headed straight for O'Sullivans, their Irish homebase, for a good time. Andrews and his friends went there Friday night. "It was bonkers," he said. "It's nice to see that there's a good Irish bar in Ann Arbor." Only 200 student tickets were available to Notre Dame students on a lottery basis, but many came to Ann Arbor just to be here while the game was going on. 'The trip was definitely worth It because Notre Dame won. Sitting with the Wolverines was hell, but we won so It was heaven and hell at the same time.' - Ned Andrews son of Notre Dame alums Notre Dame senior Mike Sabin and seven of his friends made the three-and-a-half-hour trek in his green Jeep Cherokee with Irish signs plastered all over the back without even one ticket in hand. 'Wejustwanted to be here to cheer our team to a victory, but we ended up getting two tickets from ND alumni for only $49," Sabin said. "We were so psyched that we even did a shot of whiskey in celebration." Sabin said the Michigan crowd wasn't very hostile, but he added that he was surprised by the presence of the Michigan state troopers. "It was a terrible thing to bring state police into the stadium. We were standing enjoying the game as we always do back at our school, but the police came and told us we had to sit down," Sabin commented, with a cold beer in his hand. Many Notre Dame fans tailgated outside Pioneer High School. Fans without tickets found their way to the bars. Nearly 75 percent of the crowd watching the game at Scorekeepers was screaming for the Irish, said Beth Howells, a ND senior. "People were fired up at the bar, and the rivalry was basically friendly," Howells said, wearing her Notre Dame sweatshirt proudly. The end of the football game signaled the beginning of one big party for ND fans. Disap- pointed Michigan fans quickly exited the sta- dium, but the Irish stayed on to sing and dance in celebration. Sporting gold helmets, two diehard Notre Dame fans from Ohio even threw ND T- shirts into the stands to spread the victory cheer. Notre Dame senior John Hermanson ex- plained one of the "rules" of being a fan of the Fighting Irish. 'We don't allow any nonalcoholic drinks for 24 hours after the game. I even had to brush my teeth with beer," said Hermanson, who said he did pass out, but woke up in time for the game. Notre Dame students agreed that they will return to South Bend with vivid memories and many stories for their friends who stayed home. Sabin, who was walking down the streets of Ann Arbor with his face painted "Go Irish," reports being flashed by two men wearing plaid skirts and dog collars. "Lets just say that they weren't wearing any underwear and they sure let us know," he remi- nisced. His friend and fellow ND senior Craig Chris- tian added, "Yeah, (Burger King) was very hos- tile Friday night. My friend Alex almost got in a fight with a Michigan law student there."
