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.

Dorm Room I8QO How does Dorm ■-wxx ' t Ji mii Ix-conie as comforting to hear as the words Home sweet home? How does one even begin to fit liis or her life into tliis tiny space that usually comes equipped with one other person to share it with? It oiily takes a little tender loving care aiid some creativity to make the sparse cells of university donn rooms into personal havens. Some things are essential. A college student needs an alami clock, fans, a television, and of course, a refrigerator. Beds are lofted or bunked and plastic storage containers of every shape, size, and color adorn nearly every domi rcxim on campus. But it is not just a creative use of small space that makes a donn room special. It is the posters that range from the Beades to ballerinas to a student ' s favorite drink of choice. It is glittering lights and futoiis and butterfly chairs. Pictures and snapshots and other little bits of memories cover the walls like personalized wallpaper. To add spice, some of the domi rooms have traditional nicknames, or names that they are christeried with at the beginning of a semester. For example, the Sorin Otter and Quint rooms are v idely blown around campus and a group of sophomore guys also dubbed a cluster of rooms on the third floor of Sorin as The Rocky Moving into the domis as a fresliman is a datuiting task. People never realize how much they own until they begin to pack it all up and move away to college. It seems impossible that everytliing will fit, but eventually everything falls into place. Literally. Clothes begin to fall on the floor, papers litter the desks, and trashcans overflow. Without even realizing it, the litde room really does become a home. Dorm rooms are more than just a place to live; they are a reflection a student ' s personality. Beyond the knick-knacks, posters and furniture that add to the atmosphere of a dorm room, it is the memories that are made inside those four walls that are the most important. The laughter with friends, the tears when times are hard, and the late night conversations with roommates make the room one ' s own. Those kinds of decorations cannot be taped to the walls, but they are surely a necessary part of every room at Notre Dame.
