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?
