You’ve got the phone, your best friend in the entire galaxy sitting in the next loft over, and pictures of scantily clad members of the opposite sex on the walls. Not exactly an atmosphere conducive to cramming three chapters of poli sci into your head. “Something that would So you pack up highlighter and text and drag yourself to the library. And make waves, controversy!” thanks to our friend the shuttle, Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s students have access to two very different options. Architecturally and atmo- sphericly polar places to be, it is fitting that the library offerings of both Dan Sullivan campuses are as distinct as the schools themselves. Notre Dame’s Theodore M. Hesburgh Library began as the “Memorial Freshman, Zahm Library,” its Word of Life mural distinguishing it as one of the most recog­ nizable university athenaeums in the country. (Not every collegiate library in the nation boasts artwork that inspires the general public to cast the Son of God into the role of a referee, kids.) The Hesburgh Library houses 2.1 million volumes, 17,768 serials, 12,356 audio/visual items... and the offices of two very familiar-sounding priests. Across the street is Saint Mary’s Cushwa-Leighton Library, which bounced from Holy Cross Hall to LeMans Hall to Alumnae Centennial Library (which is now— surprise!— Haggar College Center) to its present modern art-ish location. Cushwa-Leighton, named for both an exceptional­ ly dedicated Saint Mary’s alumna and the founder of the Madeleva Society, wmm* “Fiction.” offers students nearly 200,000 volumes and at least that many nooks and crannies to study in. But the heritage of the buildings they’re sitting— or lying, or slouching— Lynsey Miller in is probably the last thing on student’s minds as they take care of the pri­ Sophomore,Pasquerilla East mary chore of college life. And true to their sibling nature, Saint Mary’s and Notre Dame students refrain from segregating by school where study habits are concerned. On any given weeknight or Sunday afternoon, it’s not unusual to find Belles cracking the books at their brother school or to stumble across Domers studying away at Saint Mary’s. SMC student Claire Barrett relz the top floor of Saint Mary’s Cu The shoes-off comfortable Saint Mary’s library, with its bright patterned carpets and open design, is so dependably quiet you can practically hear where naps are frequent but not GPAs rising— even during the peak seasons of midterms and finals, when Saint Mary’s senior Kimnerly 1 tables are at a premium.

The last time I went up there to get a book, I got tired just walking around.” A triplet of Saint Mary’s students have taken over a table just a few feet from Rockwell and company. “I probably won’t study,” says freshman Al­ lison Schwab of LeMans, casting a slightly guilty glance at her organic Joey's world chemistry book. “We’ll most likely just chit chat.” “The atmosphere is conducive to talking and socializing,” adds Maura, also a freshman in LeMans. “ But it does help to study over here, because you know that you can’t just take the tunnels back to the dorm to take a By JOEY CRAWFORD nap or watch some TV.
