University of Notre Dame - Dome Yearbook (Notre Dame, IN)

Domers, past Lately it ' s been fine here. I ' m real pleased with what I see. I think most alumni feel that the coeducational aspect is good, but everybody was a little upset when Notre Dame had its first woman valedictorian. ' Our regulations were obnoxious, and we were grown men! If we were a part of a culture that was protesting at that time, we would have been protesting too. I wish the student body had the same make-up and freedom and liberties when we were here, because we spent most of the time scheming and trying to get out of things, whereas it ' s just accepted now. I think they ' re getting more out of schooling now. I ' m proud of the students here. I ' m proud of the whole place. 28 Football Weekends

el ; , the! Suburban Plunge It ' s Momlav morning at 8:00 a.m. The incessant BRRINGG of the alarm forces you out of a great dream. You turn over, thmk for a moment, and then reset the alarm for BRRINGG! Resigning yourself to the inevitibility of the day. you yawn, stretch, and nearly step on the cat while dragging yourself out of bed. Rubbing your eyes, you stumble into the kitchen which is riddled with the remains of last night ' s party. You chug down a piece of Milano ' s. and head towards the shower. Having lumped into some clothes you prepare for the trip to campus. You shovel the snow off your Pinto (careful not to touch the back end ). and begin praying for the life of your engine. It ' s dead. Muttering obscenities under your breath, you thumb your way towards campus. No one Arriving at the circle at 10:45. you decide it ' s too late for class and head towards the Huddle. A dry Huddleburger and soggy trench fries: a rotten lunch, but at least you didn ' t have to cook it. You sit down at a table in the lobby, pondering how you ' ll salvage the rest of the day. First you ' ll call the landlord to complain about the dishwasher. Then, after your one remaining class of the day. you ' ll stop at Kroger ' s to pick up the next couple weeks ' rations. After that, you ' ll hit the coin-op and wash your clothes from the last three weeks. Next, with a little luck, you ' ll talk your housemates into helping you clear the debris out of the apartment, hnallv, after writing that late paper, you ' ll grab another Pfieffer ' s. order another Milano ' s and settle back into the off campus routine.

and present I love the fact that alumni care so much about their school. That was one of the big pluses that made me come here. I feel they do a lot for us and care a lot about us. but I think the University has to change with the times and shouldn ' t cater to them so much. Every alumni I ' ve ever talked to loves it here. It ' s great to hear people talk about how much they love their school and to know that they try to get other people to come here. I don ' t like the fact that they get so many basketball and football tickets, but I guess they ' ll always get the tickets because they support us. They have great spirit, but I think they control this place too much. They decide what happens here. They ' re neat. I think they ' re a part of the character of Notre Dame. Shoot me if I ever come back dressed like that! football Weekend. 39
