BADIN Centrally located on South Quad, both Badin and Howard boast prime campus locations. The Bookstore stands close by, South Dining Hall is a short jaunt across the quad, and the Rock ' s proximity entices scores of female athletes to sweat, swim, and stretch. Indeed, these two halls among the oldest dorms have seen cam- pus virtually grow up around them. Badin ' s claims to fame are many. Back in 1972 when Notre Dame first went co-ed, for ex- ample, Badin became the first women ' s dorm; in the all-male days Father Ted himself lived in a humble Badin abode. And with only 135 residents, this dorm remains the smallest on campus a characteristic that inspires unity. Badin ' s neighboring dorm Howard has recently added something new to the tradition- al South Quad. In fact, the Un- iversity ' s decision to convert Howard to a women ' s dorm sparked resentment and a cam- puswide controversy. The new residents of Howard, however, have begun to adjust to their new identity and other Domers seem to be accepting the transi- tion now. There have been many changes geraniums grace window sills where once dirty sweat socks aired but, like Badin, the small-dorm spir- it of togetherness remains. Howard ' s most outstanding as- set, as sophomore Lisa Yurchak says, is We all chose to be here. Pride and a sense of belong- ing these are the characteris- tics that make Badin and How- ard special. Stop by and see for yourself. - Erin Lynch HOWARD Free Time 23

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? If Dining Hall food is unsatisfying, try the cui- sine at Grace ' s foodsales. 22 Hall Life DID YOU HEAR? Anne Sanderson writes her friends at home about the latest Notre Dame gossip. UP UP AND AWAY.

It ' s Time to Hit the Road As the year progresses and hectic studying tightens the nerves of the student body, minds begin to wander away from the Golden Dome. A re- lease is needed, and many a student will attest to the me- dicinal wonders of road tripping. Over the course of the academic year literally thousands of students strap themselves into their vehicles and head out upon the high- way. Some confine this jour- ney to a weekend, but others have mastered the art, and manage to extend weekends to three or four days and weeklong breaks to ten or twelve days. Whichever the case, the purpose is the same: to get away from the Blue and Gold for a while. When break hits, Notre Dame students are seen flocking to airports, bus-ter- minals, and even D-2 for a long, crowded ride to their destination. Visions of sandy beaches, snow covered slopes, and crowded bars dance in their heads. During the school year, students travel to a variety of different destinations. They may follow athletic teams like bees after honey, or they may visit other colleges to see old friends and experience the life of another campus. Similarly, concerts like the one given by U2 this fall draw many stu- dents away from their home away from home. Large groups of students also take advantage of Chicago and the nearby Lake Michigan Dunes. There are still others who use road trips to go home, eat real food, and visit with family and friends for a time. Road tripping does not nec- essarily mean that students are dissatisfied with the life- style at Notre Dame. In fact, many times road trips are a learning experience for stu- dents, as they learn to appre- ciate the uniqueness of their situation here. Similarly, the road itself offers unique opportunities for discussion, and students become closer to their Notre Dame family when they remove the family from its typical environment.
