- FISHER One of the most progressive dorms on campus, Fisher has used enthusiasm to make up for what it lacks in size and splendor. President Bob Waddick, along with diligent hall staff and residents, brought Fisher out of the dark ages and into the enlightened era of hall T-shirts, hall improvements, their first hall football team, numerous social events and the in- volvement of the majority of residents in hall life. 27

N, February was a special month for Farley Hall, com- memorative of the 100th birthday of its namesake. A sign in front of the dorm announced the occasion to the campus, and special events included a coffeehouse, talent show, lecture and slide presenta- tion by Dr. Schlereth and a dining hall celebration complete with a birthday cake. The Farley Striders, reorganized in the fall, represented the revival of an old tradition. Also uni- que to Farley are donut breakfasts, Father Griffin ' s 11:00 Mass and Farley Frolics, the hall ' s newspaper. 26

PLANNER The tenants of the Planner Hotel do not claim to be the most accommodating people in the world; it is not the El Sleazo Grubbo either, at least not always. The manager of this fine establishment is Father Moose Mulcahy. K.C. Ceiger, one of Moose ' s many assistants, has made Planner ' s America the best game room on campus. Here, students have found such formidable foes as Dolphin, Wizard, Champ and ABC, and discovered (the hard way) the meaning of a Sissy Chissy or Venetian Blind. It is hard to develop a hall spirit with people who live nine stories away. Instead, the section is the nucleus of the student ' s life, a condition which results in many rivalries. As one student put it, There is nothing beyond the second floor of Planner. In fact, we ' re not even sure if life exists in 2A. 28
