x;: ik¥ , ' !S! ea W£ rWi Hard S A couple hours of class, a quick stop at the Rcxk, a few group meetings and off to the library for the iiight; tor most people, that would he more than a full day, hut ior many Notre Dame students there is something missing. That something is cold hard cash. In between hours of work and play, Notre Dame students also do their best to fill their pockets to afford some of the luxuries South Bend has to offer. Wliile South Bend is full of every name brand restaurant, clothing store, and coffee shop to work at, most students cannot pass up the convenience of on-campus employment. The University responds to the student necessity of keeping a ptisirive cash flow during the schcx.1l year by offering employment m almost every University department on campus; giving students just enough money for that 3 a.m. run to Steak n ' Shake. Wlien given the choice of making a few more dollars working off campus, but also having to fight Grape Road traffic at five in the attemixm, the choice becomes a no-brainer. Work on canipus fits every student ' s needs, v ' hether it lie the graveyard shift at Recker ' s, or bright and early at an empty Hcsburgh computer cluster. U ienever you can work, it seenis that Notre Dame can find a spot for you. Another great advantage to working on campus is the tmderstanding that on campus, friends are first, school second, and work fits in somewhere between reading du Lac and attending the Football Saturday Academic Lecture Series. Our bosses and supervisors are more than understanding of the demands put on a student during die year. Whether it be working two hours a week, earning enough for Papa Jolin ' s on a Sunday night, or several a week to pay the rent, campus emplo ment is more thiui willing to accomnuxiate all smdents. Although for some students, work is about much more than making enough to pay for an SYR gift, it is abtxit getting experience for their futures. Many seniors, serving as TAs in intrcxluctory classes, use tliis year ' s work as a stepping-stone to their careers. Other students make work a chance to get some exercise and work fiir RecSports as referees and officials. Maybe most importantly are those students who bravLxi half -eaten Rib-Eye-Que sandwiches and taco salads gone bad working for our dining halls, latewr the job is, a common theme is the added responsibility ;ind opportunity it gives students to iiimiage their time, and get the satisfaction of spendiiig their own hard earned money. As senior J.T Arseniadis puts it, It wasn ' t always the easiest thing to do, but come Friday night, you were always happy you put those couple hours in to get some money in your p(x:ket. At Notre Dame this year, the grind of schtxil is tough, but thiinks to a couple hours of extra work put in at on-campus jobs, students :ire able to sit back and relax, even if it is only for a second or two.

Tliat is Stuith Dining Hall ranks as one of the best dining halls in the nation. When students are feelir g hungry- and are looking for a gixx.! meal without lia -ing to spend Re. points, the dining halls on campus iue the places to go. With so much variety ' and the ability- to be creatiw with our meals, the dining halls offer a quick meal luuI a fncnulK ' environment for students. I enjoy the atmosphere ot the dining halls on campus, especially on Friday afternoons during Viking Dinner, says senior Kevin Le;u ' . Because diey -are popular places to meet friends, talk with a professor, or take that special someone on a dinuig hall date, most students on campus find the dining halls to be quite comforting. Usuallv students stay well after a meal is finished to chat, patple-watch, or just sjx ' nd some time relaxing from the day ' s hectic events. If ou are not feeling ill the meiod for the dining hall there are still plenty of choices around campus to grab a meal. Reckers, located behind South Dining Hall, provides a variety of American- st ' le cuisine, including oven-baked pizzas, hamburgers, and die ever-popular smoodiies. Waddick ' s in O ' Shaugnessy Hall offers an older-style to the dining scene on campus and provides hot soup iind sandwiches, including a breakfast sandwich for those who may have some extra time before moniing classes start. The newly reno ' ated Legends just south of the stadium offers faculty, studmLs, and alumni a warm atmosphere widi an Insh apj-eal. Or, if you ' re a night owl then perhaps a quick caffeine fix at Starbucks will satisfy your needs. Starbucks is just one of die many franchises that Notre Dame and the LaFortune Student Center have to offer. Also located in LaFortune are Burger King, Subway, and Sbarro. Smdents flrek to these popular establishments, finding plenty to eat at reasonable prices as can be seen in the frequaith long lines. LaFortune is also known for die Huddle mart, which recently included Mexican ftxid in Buen Provecho for tacos and bunitos made to order. Also popular are die late night Quarter Dogs, all of die hotdogs you can eat for just a qu;irter each. Stime e ' en go to the Huddle tor die world ' s famous Edy ' s Ice Cream. Senior Patrick Fishbume says, One of the best late night snacb has to be an Edy ' s chocolate milkshake from the Huddle. Some of these eateries are also known for dieir social aspects. It is not uncommon to see students meeting with a professor in Starbucks over a cup of coffee to discuss a senior thesis, new theories in a particular area of suidy, or life in gaieral. Wiether it is for the fcKxl or just die amiosphere, the eatenes on campus are [xipular among all the students. B Y E etMPAN Lyhoj Campus Life
