S faditions •by eric yuva At Notre Dame, football is more than a game, it ' s a way of life. The party starts after classes are through on Friday and it does not stop until the hangover kicks in Sunday morning. No matter how often people may watch Notre Dame football on television, until they come to our beautiful campus and into our stadium, do they really understand that the game is a monumental and energizing event. Combined with the extra events like tailgaters and the intense media coverage, the spotlight shines bright on gamedays at Notre Dame. The Saturday excitement starts early as the marching band takes a stroll throughout campus, using their various instruments as alarm clocks for the student body. Another tradition at Notre Dame is the numerous tailgaters that are held all around campus. Gameday would not be complete without burgers, brats, and wings on the grill. Many ND alumni come out to support their team and they tend to be very kind to the student body. As Scott Killen explains, I was walk- ing through the parking lot and this guy just asked if I was a Notre Dame stu- dent and yes, he in- over for and a beer. to talk to dents and about the they had at Dame.

As freshman Robert Pazornik explains . 1 think my first game was the final piece of orientation at Notre Dame. It was awesome. Tradition is what brings the alumni and fans back here ev- ery autumn to experience the great spectacle which is a Notre Dame football game. Gamedays and the surrounding events are some of the best memories that graduates of Notre Dame will take with them after they leave here. So next time you attend a game, look around and take in the sights and sounds, and realize how truly lucky you are to be at Notre Dame. when I said vited me some brats Alumni love current stu- reminisc e great times Notre unique tradi- great media the games, scatter campus and while the blimp towers ously over- the millions watch on lucky 80.()()() experience live.

sbffi m m 1 B w 1 e money •by anna-marie filippi J Money.. .Cash. ..Dough. ..Heads start to turn, ears become raised, and hands are pulled out of pockets to grab a share of the wealth. And as college students, we may even hold out the other hand as well. Between books, dances, cab fares, and ordering late night pizza, there seems to be a constant outflow of cash. It goes so fast, and as one student notes, it just flies out of my wallet. As students find themselves making only withdrawals and no deposits, they realize that it is time to take action. It is time to get a job. And fortunately, there are many opportunities here on campus. The dining hall is usually the first ,stop-a guarantee for employment. There, students try to make things run a little smoother. Making sure the cereal is full, clearing off the dishes, and wiping off the tables are just a few of the daily tasks students undertake. And as many of us have also noticed, students can be found in other Notre Dame Food Service Organizations as well. Students fill up the back counter of R e c k e r s sandwiches, smoothies.

Michael Gunville is not the only student taking advantage of this work-study program offered by the Financial Aid Office. This program employs many students that are able to demonstrate finan- cial need. Students are able to work up to twelve hours a week, starting at $5.95 hour, receiving paychecks every two weeks. With that paycheck, students are able to choose where to distribute the funds. However, it often goes towards books, expenses, or tuition. And in dire situations, there is always the inevitable phone call home to mom and dad begsin for a little advance. EVERY TIME I ' M AT WORK, I RAID MY BOSS ' S CANDY DISH.
