It is a familiar quote heard from many students on campus. I ' ve got to go to work. Hav- ing a job on campus is common for Notre Dame students; one can be gained through a work- study program or indepen- dently. It ' s not always fun. es- pecially when you have moun- tains of school work to get through before going to one of several meetings on any given day, but a job on campus can be a convenient way to gain practical experience. While everyone knows that you can work in the dining halls. Reckers, or the Huddle Mart, many do not realize that there are various other options for students, depending on their interests and abilities. Selected outgoing students get to do what comes naturally to most Domers — talk about Notre Dame while giving tours to pro- spective freshmen and other campus visitors. Others who enjoy working with computers can work for the Office of hifomiation Tech- nologies, in computer clusters all over campus, or as Resident Computer Consultants in the domi. Still others become involved directly with the department of their major, working for either the department or a particular professor. With their busy schedules, students are limited in the time they can work and usually clock in for about ten to twelve hours per week. Money re- ceived in bi-weekly paychecks can help with tuition or be used as spending money. In addition to the extra cash, many students enjoy meeting new people in the workplace. Students who do commit to on-campus jobs have to balance their time between work, school, athletics, and extra-cur- ricular activities. This is not al- ways easy, but students agree that the extra money in their bank account is worth it! ' kINTEk TkOu Be sure to ask the friendly student behind the desk in the computer cluster. Students who like to work with computers can find enjoyable jobs working for OIT. Campus Life This student waits for the next customer at the Copy Shop. Employees there can help you copy, fax, print, and scan your documents and resumes.

Notre Dame students volunteer in many ways. Whether tutoring. isiting a local hospital, or paint- ing houses, students grab hold of the opportunity to help oth- ers. During their four years in South Bend, many students can sa that thev have given of themselves in some way, espe- cially to those close-at-hand in South Bend. Many have par- ticipated in two specific pro- grams sponsored on campus. Christmas in April and There Are Children Here are services that focus directly on the local community. Approxi- mately one thousand Notre Dame students, faculty, staff, and alumni participate annu- ally in Christmas in April.
