I Freshmon Year of Studies No More Flintstones Kids Freshman Orientation Weekend 1986. First the barbeque with the towers, then the Holy Cross volleyball game, better take the par- ents on a campus tour, can ' t miss the Friday Night Movie, but you hardly moved into your room yet! Saturday ' s more of the same: the egg-toss with Walsh and Kecnan, your dorm ' s Parents ' Reception, and mixers. Before you know it, the Freshman Welcome Mass is over, your parents are gone, and classes have start- ed. What now? You were kept so busy you barely had time to breathe, let alone think. You ' re on your own now. Your little brothers and sisters are not around to bother you, your old friends are not around to fall back on, your parents are not around to pull you through a jam. But this is your big chance to prove you can be indepen- dent and successful at it, too - with, of course, a little help from the Freshman Year of Studies. The Freshman Year of Studies, under the guidance of Dean Emil T. Hofman, is the college to which all freshmen are enrolled upon admis- sion to Notre Dame. It ensures that those in their first year can explore their interests with- out having to declare a major. It also gives a broad base for entrance to any of the four col- leges. After the initial fun and games are over, the FYS offers help for personal and academic problems, and yes, more fun and games. Each freshman has an advisor and a peer counselor. Special tutoring, workshops, and video tapes are made available to freshmen who arc struggling in their classes. Dunes trips, beach parties, and sledding outings are planned throughout the year so freshmen have some- thing to do with all of their free time. The Freshman Year of Studies does its best to make the transition from high school to college a smooth one. It does such a good job that nearly every freshman who starts at Notre Dame graduates from Notre Dame, making great friendships and gathering valuable knowl- edge along the way. Notre Dame has a tradition of unity in spir- it and in academic excellence, and what better way to enter it than through the Freshman Year of Studies. -Christine Caponigri -Cathy Stacy Emil T.
