P timing •by maggie clarke Overall, most students at Notre Dame can be described as pretty easygoing people. Consequently, if something becomes the constant recipient of sighs and cursing, it must be pretty bad. With the constant watering, mowing at the crack of dawn, and those nocturnal snow plows, it is all about bad timing. It is understandable that all of this needs to be done. Rather, the issue is the interesting schedule that the maintenance department has created. Though a popular time for the sprinklers to come on seems to be right after a good downpour, the designated time for watering the grass is usually right around dinner, when students are forced to get creative as they weave their way through the spray of those revolving sprinkler heads.

There ' s nothing better than going to bed at 2 AM and then waking up every half hour or so to the deafening sound of a snowplow as it diligently makes its way across campus. Granted, the University has to stay on top of things, and we ' re kind of spoiled as students if these are some of our biggest com- plaints, but when you ' re getting soaked by a sprinkler, or jolted out of a sound sleep at some predawn hour, it can get pretty annoying. I guess our best bet is to laugh it off, always carry an umbrella, and invest in a good pair of ear plugs. GUESS THAT OUR BEST BET IS TO LAUGH IT OFF, ALWAYS CARR 28 The Students campus life
