AN AMERICAN TALE. Tina Ham- fairy tale about a poor young busi- and strikes it rich, mond reads Betsy Leveno a bedtime ness student who goes to Wall Street B.P. Nestled in the midst of North Quad, the twin halls of Farley and Breen-Philips are close in both proximity and athletic prowess. Year after year these dorms dominate women ' s inter- hall athletics. This year B.P. toppled Farley in the Flag Foot- ball Championship, a title Far- ley held for the past three years. Interhall basketball is also part of the rivalry, and the new ten- nis program promises to add an- other dimension to the competi- tion. The dorm unity which makes Farley and B.P. such athletic forces is also seen in each hall ' s social activities. Farley ' s big celebration occurs in January, when a week is devoted to re- membering Father Pop Far- ley ' s birthday. There are a vari- ety of events throughout the week, including the staff skit and talent show, and the high- light is a hall formal. Breen-Philips also has a week of fun, this one called Spirit Week. Filled with events like the roommate game, a dress-up day, and an ice-cream social, the week finishes with an S.Y.R. Another big tradition at B.P. is The Breakfast. For the first home game of the year B.P. resi- dents go to the dining hall in their pajamas, bringing their stuffed animals. For entertainment of another sort, all the residents of Farley and B.P. have to do is walk out onto the quad on a nice day. With four male dorms nearby, these two dorms boast the best sunny-day view. - Barb Mooney - Joy Smith FARLEY Free Time 2 5 Loafing

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.

CARROL ,L HAPPY COUPLE. Christy Ander- son plots the move to rip the plaid tie from TJ. Clark ' s neck. TRUST ME. James Dillard uses his sly nature while gambling with date Deirdre Bell. The least known dorm on campus stands as a true repre- sentative of the character of this University. Yes, Carroll Hall is full of all of those things Domers grow to love here at Notre Dame: the close-knit community life, aesthetic beau- ty, and good times. Despite the 10 mile walk to the Dining Hall and classes in the ice and snow, the Vermin love their home. When visiting Carroll, most will admit it was worth the trek. Just ask the hundreds who waited for hours in the rain to pass through the annual Haunted House on Halloween. Also in isolation is Hog Heav- en, home of the Holy Cross Hogs. The hall ' s unusual layout has caused many an uninitiated visitor to wander a while, before finally stumbling onto his or her destination. The various room combinations available two, three, four, six and even nine- man arrangements -- make roompicks an exciting event. Holy Cross Hall boasts its own Softball field, two full-length basketball courts, extensive TV and 24-hour lounges, the largest social room, and a beautiful hill- top location overlooking St. Mary ' s Lake. The hall is renowned for its spirit, which manifests itself in its own fight song, and at Holy Cross ' s annual South Dining Hall Christmas Caroling. Holy Cross Hall will cease to exist as an undergraduate dormitory af- ter the 1988-89 academic year. yet true to Hog spirit, the Holy Cross tradition will live on. - Andrew Vogt - Allan Lim - Patrick Wade HOLY CROSS THAT LOOK.
