Only 25 more freshmen were admitted for the 1978 school year, “ not enough to affect the housing situation," said Price. "Notre Dame could not cut enrollment to solve the housing problem, but may have to resort to lotteries to select students to live off campus if a new dorm is not built in the next few years. "There is no solution to the housing problem," he said. “The office of admissions can only estimate, based on statistics, how many students will enter Notre Dame,” Price added. We accept students based on estimates, and have to use lounges as back up accomondations when the estimates are off. “The admissions office has to accept more students than it can house to compensate for those who drop out of the enrollment,” Price said.

Senior Barby Joe Slovinec

According to Senior Bar m anagerPat Jo rdan , the Senior Bar is

" try ing to appeal to as many people as possible by having a different a tm o sp h ere ," with the addition of two bars and a disco dance floor upstairs, a dining area, and a gam e room in the basem ent.

The Senior Bar, which opens this evening, has m ade many changes in its facilities for its m em bers and guests this year.

In addition to the new disco dance floor, com plete with disc- jockey stand, the Senior Bar staff placed new curtains, w alpaper, plum bing fixtures and a vanity in the g irl’s w ashroom . "W e are adding a new dining area with a ham burger g rill," Jordan said. Plaques of Notre Dame football team s from the past forty years will decorate the walls of the dining area. The basem ent, which previ­ously contained only pipes and furnaces, has been converted into a gam e room, com plete with wall stucco paint and paneling. Patrons can now enjoy bowling, pinball, a juke box, and a pool table in the gam e room.

The exterior bar has been con­verted into a beer garden filled with sand. The b eer garden has benches and railroad ties around the bushes and trees to “ beautify i t ," and make it possible for people to "re lax out th e re ." Jordan said.

The rem odeling cost $25,000."W e had 35 people here ten days

early to fix up the whole p lace ,” Jordan said. "T he bar opened on registration day, which is the earliest the Senior Bar has ever opened.

The Senior Bar staff w ants to try and"m ake it a quality place rather than ju s t a drinking h a ll," Jordan said. As a resu lt, 1300 bar cards have been sold thus far, which is 450 ahead of last year, and it is expected that more will be sold.

"E xpecta tions have been m et” in the success of the Senior Bar, Jordan said. He concluded, "W e have got more than the South Bend bars and we appeal to a b e tte r cross-section, despite the fact that Fat W allys has reopened. We honestly feel tha t we have put a great place together. W e feel that we have put in the work and it is going to pay off. W e are looking forward to ano ther g rea t y e a r ."

Grand Opening

The Senior Bar will hold its G rand O pening celebration tonight at 8 p.m . with specials all night long. The bar fea tu res a new gam eroont located in the base m ent. Door prizes will also be aw arded.

Bland explainsby M ark Rust S taff R eporter

It appears as though studen ts are following the newly defined fire regulations, according to Fire Chief Jack Bland. “ I doubt at this tim e that w e’ll have an inspection ,” he sta ted yesterday , noting that most cam pus room construction will be finishing this w eekend." I ’ve been around to

several halls so fa r ,” saidBland, “ and they all seem to understand w hat the regulations a re .”

The regulations — prim arily new ­ly defined term s in DuLac for room design and appendage — had been a source of confusion for a num ber of studen ts as the school term began.

“ W hat can be hard to u nder­stan d ? ,"B lan d asked. “ All the rules are spelled out in DuLac. I t’s all there and very clear on page 40 — as clear as we could get i t .”

M any studen ts have not yet received their copies of DuLac though, according to Bland, they should by next week. For students who have not read their copy yet, Bland offered a sam pler of regula­tions.

“ E levated beds are allowed, as long as they are at least 36 inches

from the ceiling and not connected to the w all,” he said. “ Lofts, defined as a ceiling or room within a room , are illegal as are p ara ­chutes or fishnets d raped from the ceiling .”

Bland w as also ra ther specific on panelling — it is not allowed — but was less strong in his in terpretation on the application of the rules to the use of corkboards in room s, especially tha t which is used to hide lockers th a t divide a room.

"Look, we don’t w ant to get real techn ica l,” he concluded, “ we ju s t w ant to provide maximum protec­tion while allowing studen ts maxi­mum freedom . W e hope everyone will use their head in complying with the ru les. W e w ant to create an atm osphere of tru st and cooper­a tion .”

Bland pointed out that last y ea r’s Providence U niversity fire — in which seven co-eds w ere killed — was a “ surface” fire.

“ And th a t ,” Bland observed, " is what theseregulationstry to protect against; surface fire. It is the most common type of fire in our institu ­tio n .”

The fire departm en t plans to publish and distribu te am ong s tu ­den ts an additional “ Fire Safety” sheet to provide them with added inform ation on fire prevention.

Green attribu ted the high tu rn ­over ra te mainly to form er staff personnel com pleting their studies at Notre Dame and leaving. He term ed th is y ea r’s high turnover “ unfo rtunate ,” sta ting th a t “ for the m ost part we have a desire to

m aintain continuity in the hall staffs as much as possib le .”

Reds seek answers to season slump

CINCINNATI [AP]- They were heralded The Team of the 70s. And with Tom Seaver joining “ the best e igh t players in baseba ll,” the C incinnati R eds’ surefire dynasty sen t a shudder through the N ation­al League.

But it never cam e off.Instead, the Big Red M achine

has broken down, a ba ttered heap of old parts and unfulfilled hopes.

A rich era appears to be ending, after five division titles in seven years, four National League pen ­nants and two world cham pion­ships.

Three weeks after moving into first place in the NL W est, th e Reds have lost 16 of 21 gam es to fall seven gam es behind with 30 re ­m aining.

“ If we keep going like this, we should have to pay our way into the park ,” said utility player Dave Collins.

W hat triggered the plunge?The culprit, some insist is a

combination of big money, bad trades and sim m ering jealousys.

Presiden t Mike Roohan announ­ced th a t p lans for the spring trip w ere well underw ay, w ith the trip scheduled for M arch 11-24. Several fund raising activities w ere also discussed.

Practices have begun and will be held every Tuesday, W ednesday, and Thursday, at 4:15 behind S tepan C enter. Anyone in terested in the club, regard less of experience, is invited to come out.

E arlier this week, Bench sugges­ted tha t A nderson is re luctan t to prod C incinnati’s h igh-salaried stars. He said the m anager is “ in tim idated” and has “ w ith­draw n from it a ll.”

A nderson said he refuses to push the panic button . “ Why should I, ju s t because things are getting tough, s ta rt badm outh ing .”

The cohesiveness and spirit that sw ept C incinnati to consecutive world cham pionships two years ago has vanished.

Some trace the decline to the trade of popular slugger Tony Perez. “ You could never be mad about anything with Tony around because he always m ade you sm ile ,” said All-Star shortstop Dave Concepcion. “ W hen Tony left, we lost som eth ing .”

Freshmen survive pre-season drillsby Ray O’Brien

Sports Editor

The first few weeks in a new environm ent is a new experience for a college freshm an. Living conditions are d ifferent and there are courses to worry about. But im agine the traum atic ad ju stm en t of going from the reverie of A ll-Am erica sta tus to the rank of third string player in ju s t six short m onths, and then on top of tha t add all the m iseries of ju s t being a “ typical” freshm an. You are beginning to get the idea of w hat it means to be a freshm an football player at Notre D am e..

While most of the C lass of 1982 arrived over the w eekend, the frosh lootball players will be com pleing their third glorious week at du Lac. While most of the new faces are slowly conditioned to college classes, the new players have been subjected to grueling “ tw o-a-day” practices and bom barded w ith an entirely new football system . They join a team that has ju s t won a National C ham pionship and has some of the most experienced and talented players in the country.It is a time of reproving o n e 's self

and staring at the bottom . W hile it sounds like a very hum bling ex p er­ience, you w on 't hear any of these new players com plaining.

“ I ju s t try and force m yself to be open m inded about i t ," explains running back Pete Buchanan. “ By going in open m inded, I realize that I am probably not going to play much but I have tim e to le a rn .” Buchanan is a perfect exam ple of the high school player who was “ A Il-Everything” his senior year

Freshm en and upper classm en labor through the drills of pre-season practices.

and now finds him self behind three or four upper classm en. But Buchanan knew w hat he was getting into before he got to South Bend since he lived up the road in Plym outh. However, there are always going to be surprises.

“ I really w asn’t ready for this kind of h ittin g ,” said Buchanan. “ In high school I could run over most guys bu t here even the defensive backs can hurt y o u .” If a 6-3,220 pound fullback is being hit hard out there, than it is a w onder tha t the o ther freshm en survived the “ tw o-a-day” drills.

W hile the physical ad justm en ts are severe, there is also a psycho­logical effect. “ Practices are m ore com petitive and you have to be on

the b a ll," added the ex-Colum bus High star. “ You could fool around a little before but everything is so concentrated now and there is so much to le a rn .”

For freshm an Dean M asztak tha t psychological ad justm ent included pinching him self ju s t to make sure he was really at Notre Dame.

“ I still can ’t believe I’m h e re ,” the big tight end com m ented. “ It has taken a while to se ttle down and even think about playing football.”

M asztak also com es to ND with All-America credentials bu t the idea of starting at the bottom doesn’t phase him in the least. “ Notre Dame has been with me since I was a little kid because

my father was a Notre Dame nut. 1 tried to keep an open mind w hen I was deciding w here to go last spring bu t w hen 1 stepped out of the car and looked up at the sun shining on the Golden Dome it was all over.”

M asztak survived the early fall drills with a couple of stars to his credit, bu t he is not getting over zealous. “ I ju s t w ant to get my feet wet my first y e a r ,” explain the Toledo, Ohio native. “ I really don’t expect to ju s t walk over peop le .” M asztak has certainly felt the physical and psychological strain of the double workouts, and feels that he could do much more given the tim e to im prove.

Every freshm an has to leave his or her family when they enroll in college, but w hat about the football frosh who had his father as a coach.

“ There is no change in the relationship I have with my new coaches,” offers Steve Cichy. “ Every freshm an is in the sam e boat. T here is that p ressure from everyone who expects you to do w ell.” That p ressu re doubles when you are a consensus high school All-American as this defen­sive back was.

The defensive back position also dem ands more learning and con­centration than other positions. This shows in Cichy’s approach to the opening workouts. “ You really have to be ready for p rac tice ,” offers the versatile newcomer. “ We all have to prove ourselves so getting up for practice is alm ost like preparing for a g am e .”

Wi t h S a tu rd a y ’s s c r im m a g e com pleted and the first gam e less

than two weeks away, the freshm en begin to evaluate their perfor­m ances to this date . “ I’ve been pretty satisfied with m yself,” notes Cichy, “ But 1 don’t think you should really look back righ t now because you have so much learning ahead of you .”

W hile Steve Cichy m ust say goodbye to his father-coach, Mike Boushka gets to be close once against to his older b ro ther Dick. But these family get togethers are not w hat you would expect. Mike Boushka lines 'u p a t the flanker position while Dick Boushka plays the cornerback position on defense.

So when they do run into one another on the field, there are no friendly hello’s. Mike insists his family ties don’t get in the way.

“ It doesn ’t m atter who lines up on the o ther s id e ,” explains the highly tou ted freshm an, “ you are out th ere to show the coaches w hat you can do and you have to work for w jta t y o u ’re g o in g to g e t . ” Boushka feels tha t he was well p repared for his first two weeks especially since he has tha t older b ro ther th a t has been through it once before.

However, there is no substitu te for experience. The unanim ous feeling am ong the freshm en is that high school practices w ere nothing like their initiation drills. The only reason they don’t feel the strain is that there is not enough tim e in the day to experience tha t. Pete Buchanan sum m ed up m ost of the new com ers sen tim ents w hen he declared, “ I’m su re g lad the two-a-days arc over; now only if the season would s ta r t!”
