The legend lives on in ... Academics rom the anxious hopes of getting accepted, through the anguish of a dead calculator battery on the day of your first Emil quiz, to that first job offer senior year, Notre Dame was an academic chal- lenge, but with a personal touch. It took a while to adjust to key phrases like throat and all- nighter, but eventually the rocky road of academia came to mean more than grades and hard work. There was a light side to academics that partners experienced as they good-naturedly struggled through their Chem Lab. There was an enjoyment in using the pass fail option to listen to Rev. John Dunne, C.S.C., talk about God, faith and life. And a brown-bag noontime seminar, or a full-fledged meal at a professor ' s home were intimate aspects that set Notre Dame academia apart from other universi- ties and N.D. instructors apart from other profs. Indeed, for every all-nighter spent designing that architecture project, running that computer pro- gram, or writing that paper, there was a sunny hour spent in a class on the lawn of O ' Shaughnessy, an afternoon spent in the Snite Museum, or a friendly chat with a prof to make sure that the legend of kindly scholars setting forth worthy challenges lived on in Academics. POETRY IN MOTION. Members of the ND SMC Dance Theatre perform in their Winter program, Our Winter Concert. The concert was choreo- graphed by Debra Stahl and Colleen Quinn. Incorporating eight dance numbers, the show ran for three con- secutive nights. FEEDING THE BIRDS. Mike Goleski, Roberto Florez and Matt Bell take time out from their architectural stu- dies to feed the pigeons in Rome. The Notre Dame Architecture program in- cluded a year of study in Rome, Italy. 12 Academics

OUR LADIES. Actress Helen Hayes and Sister John Miriam Jones, S.C., look on at the dedication of the Pas- querillas, the first exclusively women ' s dorms on campus. , ' . Time here ' s much to the times that make Notre Dame a legend; there ' s much to Notre Dame that makes it a good time. First, the setting a 140 year-old campus with a bell-tower that chimes ev- ery hour on the hour, or a Scoreboa rd that ticks away the final seconds of the last home football game. Throw in some personalities a class of 1932 alumnus or a president of 30 years. Establish a foundation with room to grow coeducation in 1972 was good for starters. Hope something event- ful happens that long-awaited cap and gown ar- rive on schedule; a week of all-nighters helps make that deadline on time; or your 8 a.m. class is cancel- led. And wait. And wait. Before they knew it, with every football game, every evening spent at Senior Bar, every final exam, all-nighter, frisbee game, and rendition of the Victory March, Domers were living the legend others before them had spent so long establishing. And whether they indulged in a game of snow foot- ball, an occasional road trip to Michigan State, or just some balloons on Valentine ' s Day, Domers be- came part of tradition in their own way. It was evident from that freshman day at the dunes to that profile at the Placement Bureau that time was a big part of life at Notre Dame. So, while there ' s much to the stuff that legends are made of, there ' s much to the places, events, values, people, and time that make Notre Dame a legend on its own street. THREADING THE NEEDLE. Junior Bob Beres takes part in a favorite N.D. activity, frisbee on the quad. The Spring and Fall months kept avid fris- bee players out of doors until nightfall. Opening Time 11
