Priendly Rival Between North Dining Hall and the new pedestrian mall, on the edge of North Quad, are located the rival sister halls, Farley and Breen-Phillips. Built in the early 1950 ' s, both dorms have established through their spirited traditions a firm foothold for women on the Notre Dame campus. Farley and Breen-Phillips exhibit active involvement in sports, social activities, and community service. Both dorms uphold a tradition of dominating in interhall sports. The Farley-Breen-Phillips rivalry surfaces most often during interhall football season. In 1982, Farley won the championship and this past season, Breen-Phillips advanced to the final game. Each dorm also sponsors volleyball, soccer, and basketball teams. Another strong tradition is community service. Farley women regularly babysit area children while their mothers are on retreat. Breen-Phillips works with Keenan Hall renovating homes for low-income families. Both Farley and Breen-Phillips also participate in frequent visits to a senior citizens ' health care center. However, the most distinguishing features of Farley and Breen-Phillips are their annual social activities. Each year Farley celebrates the birthday of its founder with Pop Farley Week, which includes Farley Night at the Nazz, a scavenger hunt, a movie, a hall dinner, and an in-hall Screw-Your-Roommate dance. This year ' s theme was the Olympics, and the decorations throughout the hall reflected this theme. Farley ' s Screw-Your-Roommate is known to attract the most eligible and desired men on the Notre Dame campus. Similarly, Breen-Phillips has their annual Spirit Week. This festival includes a talent show, a trivia contest, a kiss a BP girl day, a ON THE WAR PATH. B.P.

With these many and varied activities, Farley and Breen-Phillips contribute strongly to the rich tradition of Notre Dame. - Michelle Guntz - Andra Liepa 18 Fartey Breen-Phillips

R Bird ' Eye View While Dillon and Alumni are screaming obscenities across the courtyard and Keenan is verbally abusing Stanford in the Revue, the men of Grace and Planner are involved in intense competition too. This competitive atmosphere pervades almost every aspect of life in The Towers whose inhabitants see sharp distinctions between the two. The extent of the Planner-Grace rivalry is most evident in interhall sports competition. Because of the large size of both dorms, each has a substantial amount of athletic talent available. Making the interhall squad in the towers is an accomplishment in itself. Par those who do not choose to get involved in the rigorous practices and heated interhall games, there are always the popular section teams. The rivalry between the individual sections themselves is often as great as that between some interhall squads. On the lighter side, the annual Tower Wars exemplify some of the more creative ways in which the men find to compete. Last year, for instance, Grace residents infested Planner ' s air conditioning system with crickets, courtesy of the Biology lab. Not to be outdone, a few ingenious Flannerites concocted a scheme of depriving Grace of its entire water supply for a day and a half. Not only does the close proximity of the two dorms lead to this competitive spirit, but it also induces a feeling of unity. Their structual similarities and distance from the mainstream of campus life help to bond the Tower residents together. Even though the men are forever outscoring, outselling, and outshouting each other, they consider it a friendly neighborhood competition. -Donna Maus -Susan Schweinberg ' VATOR ' S OUT AGAIN? This sight can be quite intimidating to a Planner or Grace resident when he knows that the elevators are out for the weekend.
