In The Beginning Welcome Dome It is the end of the summer again time for another journey back to South Bend, Indiana. It is a time to renew old acquaintances and to make new ones. It is a hectic period as students wait in seemingly never-ending lines to register for clas- ses, only to have to run back to their dorm rooms to build lofts and to cre- ate bars. For the freshman, it is a brand new experience. He or she must leave home, some for the very first time, and live in what can sometimes be a very demanding atmosphere. With the help of Emil Hofman and the Freshman Year of Studies, the fresh- man finds this transition smoother. The hallways of every dorm are filled with the sounds of parents and students moving in. Telling your mother that you think you are too old for that vaporizer can be a rough ex- perience. Equally trying is explaining to your father that losing a football game is not your personal fault. Once all of your belongings are in your room and you have convinced your mother that you can unpack your own suitcase, it is time for good-byes. For many, separation from home lasts until October break; for some, even until Christmas. Good-byes can be tearful, but they represent another stage of development for the individu- al. It is the next step into adulthood. Why do so many from so far away flock to this small Catholic school in northern Indiana? It is more than just the academics. It is the true sense of commmunity that exists on this campus. Everybody cares and looks out for their neighbor. The knowledge that comes from textbooks is secondary to the learning that comes from relationships with fellow students. A -Brian Broderick THREE ' S NEVER A CROWD. David Ledrick.
