Arrixdng in mini- nns l.xiji io the top with necessities and me mories from home, the members of the Class of 2007 were directed to their new home on Notre Dame ' s campus with signs that read, Drop our cubs off at the Lyons Den and Knott, this way... Not that way. Having planned sevent -two hours of forced miiigling that would begin the Friday before classes started, the Frosh-O staff sported domi t-sliirts and had all the eagerness tind enthusiasm of pre-teen summer campers. Upon opening the trtuik of a car, a herd of sweaty staffers would crowd around it md proceed to unload e -erv- last item, including that overly stuffed duffel bag or suitcase that one might imagine could only contain bowling balls or a home-town-honey. Not all domvs ha -e the con ' enicnce of air-conditioning and some do not even have elevators, makiiig tHs a difficult task in the heat and humidity of South Bend ' s late summer days. Without alkwing much time for the freshmen to settle in, the Frosh-O staff members kicked off the weekend by teaching songs like Escape aitd You ' ve Lost that Loving Feeliiig that would be used to serenade domis of the opposite sex before each event. Wliile some activities like karaoke were coiisidered relatively tame, others were a bit more outragauis, such as being tied at the wnst to a complete stranger and beii-ig told to na gate a crowded diniiig hall. With new people to meet at every activity, freshmen found themselves reverting to the classic tliree questions: Wliat ' s your name. ' What ' s your major. ' and Wliere are you from. ' Jane Marie Russell felt it was mtense meeting so many new people. I coukln ' t remember Liny names, but I at least found myself recognizing familiar faces. Saturday ' s maii-i attraction was the campus-wide dance known as Domerfest. Freshmen walked over to the JAOC wearing their dorni t-shirts and shouting dteir domi cheers, displaying t heir new found sense of domi pnde. Tlie night ' s entertainment included a DJ with a dance floor as well as obstacle courses, sumo wTesding, and blackjack. Qi the last day of the orientation, the freshman class and their parents attended a class mass in the JACC. With the culminatiim of the weekend, it was finally time for gcxxi-byes. Parents retumed home with empty cars iind left the freslimen to Ix i their new lives at Non-e Dame. ' OsfflsSsifeag ' luggage is just one of many tasb for the first weekend here on campus.

Making a Books. Course pacMs. Dttmemiff campus. Trips to the mall. Going out with friends. Tlic list of expenses for students - both expected and othenvise - goes on and on. With tuition increasing every year, students often find it necessary to find a way to make some extra money during the school year in order to htith help pay for tuirion, and also to cover any of those unexpected costs that may ha ' e come up. For a growiiig number of students, these emplo TOent opportuniries are found right here on Notre Dame ' s campus. While working off campus is an option for many students, it is often overlooked because it is simply easier and more convenient to have a job on campus. Students do not ha ' e to worn,- about dri Tng to work or taking the bus and the ' can often find much more flexible hours because on-campus errployers understand the other academic demands that are placed on students. With nearly every office, department, and business on campus having jobs for student workers, there are more than enough work tipportuniries to go around. If a student has enough free rime he or she can often find multiple jobs on campus to help make a little more money. No matter what a student ' s availability and interests, there is at least one job at Notre Dame that they can do. With everything from a computer cluster consultaiit for the technology savvy student to clerical work in various offices for the organized coed, there is definitely something for everyone. Juiiior Sarah DeLeeuw said, 1 was able to put the classes 1 have taken for my major lo use in Kth of my jobs. As a T.A. aiid also as a tutor, 1 have been able to use my iriterest in math to help out other students. Another wonderful part of working on campus is that students have the chance to get involved in areas that truly interest them. Rather than taking just a typical afternoon job in order to pay the bills, many students are also able to gain some pracrical experience that will help them iii their future careers. Working in the Sports Infonnation office is great because I get the opportunity- to be involved with something that I am really interested in and make some extra money at the same time, said junior Tori Blainey. Working on campus is not only a great way for students to make some extra cash, it also allows them to learn valuable skills for the future while contributing to the success of their universiry. -nfcolA phfllipc :.«Fctt-tune staft menilxT . lelanie Larrabee gives smdents their pnis at the rnual LiR TOinc Opoi House The Open House helped nevv students to beamie familiar i ith the many businesses and offices in the building.
