NOV

F rom June 23-28 ,1996, an alternative vacation, a Christmas in April USA-Notre Dame Family Work Camp, will be offered by the Alumni Community Service Program in collabora­ tion with local South Bend neighborhood associations. Family generations can collectively be involved in a home repair project near campus in the Northeast neighborhood. Lodging, meals, reflec­ tive and recreational activities will take place on campus through Alumni Family Hall. Alumni fami­ lies will work side by side with our campus neighbors and join together for activities such as an open­ ing picnic, a tour of the College Football Hall of Fame and a South Bend Silver Hawks baseball game.

Little, if any, repair skills are needed- just a desire to help our campus neighbors!

Cost: $90 per person for the week- family participation encouraged.

The most obvious changes are the renovations that seem to be plaguing our campus. Buildings were built, dorms were moved, domes were encrypted with scaffolding. Expansion has been a major goal of the administration over the past few years. During the summer prior to the arrival of the class of 1996, Pangborn Hall was changed from a men’s dorm into a women’s dorm. For many of the incoming freshmen who spent their pre-orientation “Spring break in in this dorm rich in tradition, the switch Jamaica.” was a bit disheartening, for it was the only place they knew really well.

By TIM SHERMAN Sports Editor

Many students begin their four years without any firm idea of what they want to do with their life. In fact, some even end their four years as such. 1995-96 Observer Male Athlete of the Year Derrick Mayes, however, is an exception. “I always thought I had the ability to play in the NFL, ” Mayes said. “It has been a dream of mine. It’s definitely something I want to do.” Starting next September, Mayes will get his opportunity with the Green Bay Packers. The NFC Central Division champs drafted Mayes with the 56th overall pick. 1 8 1 Many, including Mayes himself, expected the The Observer/Brent Tadsen Derrick Mayes’ six-catch, two-touchdown performance in the 1996 Indianapolis native to go a bit higher but the Orange Bowl capped his brilliant four-year career for the Irish.
