unnina Lraditwns onn As part of the campus expansion in 1888, Notre Dame took a radical step in building the first Catholic col- lege dormitory in America with private rooms. This dormi- tory, Sorin College, still stands in the shadow of the Golden Dome. Sorin is one of the smallest dorms on campus and therefore is able to maintain a closeness among its residents that few other dorms can match. This unity shows itself in such events as Monk Hoops, the Sorin Talent Show, and the yearly Sorin trip to Chicago ' s Wrigley Field. - Vince Owens hese Sorinites paint busily in an attempt to finish a mural of the dorm mascot before the Sorin SYR. 20 STUDENT LIFE - ' i dentified by the Holy Cross Hog in the background, these Hogs volunteer to feed hungry fans before the football game. ogs Pat DeLong and John Brown attract the alumni with their student designed t-shirts.

Cross Picture a reflective walk on the waterside path, watch- ing the sunset and feeding the ducks, and up on the hill qui- etly stands the fortress of St. Mary ' s Lake, Holy Cross Hall. Or is it really that quiet? No! In fact Holy Cross is perhaps one of the most uniquely ac- tive halls on this campus. Drawing on the building ' s 101 year history, the Hogs of today personify some of Notre Dame ' s best aspects: spirit and a sense of family. Although Holy Cross Hall closes this year and its family will be scattered among the other halls on campus, be certain that the spirit of the Hogs will remain. - Marty Foos alsfi Walsh was the newest dorm on campus when I was a student, said my grandfather when we learned that I was going to be living in Walsh Hall. Grandpa spoke wistfully of the big rooms and the grand building. Well, Walsh may no longer be the newest building, but Grandpa was right it is a great place to live. The old age air of community that Grandpa spoke of is alive and well today and is espe- cially felt in the activities en- joyed by the residents, and it is felt as equally by the incoming freshmen as it is by the gradu- ati ng senior. - Krista Smith t must be Friday. Julie Bruce of Walsh is ready to forget classes and spend some time with friends. inters here give these Walsh residents an excuse to gather in one room and utilize body heat.
