Building Memories Dorm Sweet Dorm Pick a dorm, any dorm. This is a decision each one of us has had to make before mailing in our housing cards. But as they randomly choose a dorm, few people realize the impact this decision will have on their stay here at Notre Dame. After all, at Notre Dame it isn ' t too often that you will see students sporting sweat- shirts with three Greek let- ters across their chest. In- stead if you take a look around, you ' ll see words like Alumni, Howard, Lewis, Stanford or PE on many of the students ' apparel. The absence of sororities or fraternities causes students to take fierce pride in their dorms. Unlike at many other universities, the dorms here become students ' home away from home for four years of their lives. This stay-hall tra- dition at Notre Dame results in a unique sense of spirit and camaraderie among each hall ' s residents. 20 Hall Life Dorms also play a large role in students ' social lives. Close-knit groups of friends are formed by those living in the same hall, and what you do on a weekend is often gov- erned by what the people in your section are doing. Social events like SYR ' s, barn dances, and spirit weeks also enliven social lives. Interhall sports are more than simple athletics they also perform the function of unifying hallmates. Whatev- er the sport, each game en- ables teammates to work to- gether and conquer their rival in order to uphold hall pride. The dorms also provide a strong academic support system. Academic commis- sioners from each dorm com- pile comprehensive test files covering classes within all majors. This enables dorm- mates to help one another by reviewing material together before exams. All in all, dorm life has a great deal to offer. It provides the opportunity to learn how to live and deal with people different from yourself. Dorm activities and events also give residents something to do with their spare time, and supply a good excuse to blow off studying. Most impor- tantly, each dorm gives its residents the chance to make friends that will last a life- time. When the same people watch soap operas together in the afternoon, share pizza at 3 a.m., and study for finals to- gether, strong friendships de- velop and memories that will last a lifetime are stored away. Each football weekend, dorm loyalty is rekindled when alums stop by and visit. As they reminisce about all the fun times they had there and the way the dorm used to look, you nod your head along with them because some- day you ' ll be doing the same thing. - Denise Salerno FOR ME?

What Do You Do in Your Free Time? When asked this question, many students automatically respond, What free time? At Notre Dame there is such a great emphasis on academ- ics, many people don ' t have an overabundance of free time. (At what other school do you find people in the li- brary on Friday and Satur- day nights University of Miami? Do they even have a library?) So how do Domers spend the little spare time they have? -I play spit. You know, that stupid card game you learned when you were a kid. - John Bodrozic I play Spit with John. - Julie Dule -Enjoy the world around me and thank God for what I have. - John Steffen -I don ' t think I do anything. - Cindy Harrigan -Usually I make long distance phone calls. Laurie Bink -Ponder the implications and the nature of the universe and Hegel and Nancy Drew. -Kathy Carney -Rap on extended topics in thermodynamic subsystems analysis. - Mark Stetler -Besides going to the bars? Mmm, I ' ll have to think about that one. - Ann Hronchek -Scope on the chicks at St. Joe ' s High School. - Anonymous -Interpretive dance. - Brian Dorini -Run the Notre Dame Bike Club. I ' m the only active member, so it ' s a big job. - Bob Kobayashi -Lose my shirt playing poker with the Farley card sharks. Then I go to the JACC at 1 a.m. to play basketball. - Dave Gullott -As little as possible. - Barb Mooney -I shoot pool, relax in front of the TV, play Atari, and don ' t do homework (ha!) . - John Abele - Christine Caponigri HUNGRY ANYONE?
