nterhall Sports A Time to Play The University of Notre Dame prides it- self in molding well-rounded students. Interhall athletics can play a major role in this process. The spirit, enthusiasm, and vigor of participating stu- dents allow these competitions to complement the University ' s superb academic programs. Athlet- ics give students the opportunity to exercise, meet new friends, and learn proper sportsmanship. The interhall program at Notre Dame pro- vides competition in team, dual, and individual sports for both men and women. Teams are normally formed according to dorm residence. Each dorm is equally represented. The competi- tion is serious and fierce. Dorm football, probably the most popular of all dorm sports, generates crowds of students cheering on their friends. Also in the fall, soccer, cross country, and volleybal l meet forcompetiton. There is an activity for everyone. Interhall sports provide outlets for the potential stress of aca- demic life and a lot of fun, too! Jim Dowd Go Defense! Members of the P.E.

Looking hard enough, one can find statues in obscure places. Togetherness. Students find that dorm ser- vices are convenient, as well as a unique opportunity to bond with dormmates in a spirtual setting. piritual Life ATimeToPray Regardless of faith, the opportunity to enjoy a spiritual life is available to all at Notre Dame. However, the degree to which spirituality is present in one ' s life is determined by the indi- vidual. As a Catholic university, Notre Dame is uniquely devoted to the spiritual maturity of its students. It is through daily activities and service participation that the individual obtains a better understanding of his or her faith. Notre Dame stresses service as a primary expression of faith. The Center for Social Con- cerns, individual dorms, and various other groups organize a variety of volunteer efforts at area schools, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters. Another important aspect of spiritual life at the university does not occur in any specific en- deavor. This expression is present in the attitude of the student body. People are encouraged to share their own beliefs and understand those of others. The spirituality Notre Dame students leave this institution with provides a solid moral background from which they may pattern their lives. Students are more respectful of others, and take this respect into their new communities. At Notre Dame, there are spiritual oppor- tunities for everyone, and for those who choose these avenues the rewards are great. But even an individual not actively participating is likely to be affected by the close community around them. Notre Dame is a community of faith with equal members. Students develop their relationships with God and one another in a spirit of acceptance that welcomes all into the Notre Dame family. Thus it is said Venite Ad Me Omnes. - Luke Woods and Mark Pledger Student Life 13
