lanner Towering above the rest Planner Tower recreated and revitalized its identity with a new found dorm spirit this year. Under the leadership of the second year rector Father Bill Seetch and co-presidents Greg Karczewski and Shawn Donovan, the dorm experi- enced a renewed sense of community. Finally de- ciding on the Gamecocks as a mascot, Planner residents rallied around their new nickname. Start- ing with ' Cocks baseball caps, a full line o f Planner sportswear quickly sold out. The ' Cock pride showed itself in athletics as all interhall teams played successful seasons. The baseball, football, and cross country teams again distinguished themselves in interhall sports. The Monster Mash Bash started the dance season in style for most residents, with couples arriving in costumes from the obvious to the ob- scure. The Christmas formal ushered in the festive season with over 90 % of the dorm participating. Planner ' s successes throughout the year and its revitalized spirit proved once again that the home of the ' Cocks is still towering above the rest. -Matt Mohs photo by: Man Zimniaster Don ' t you guys have any homework?

Playing Phone Tag. Lynn Wilder, jots a phone message for her roommate. Gearing up. John Lynch, Tom Borger, and Anthony Mosely prepare to go on duty as security guards for Halloweeen night. Awe C ' mon. Teresa Pawlik and Jane Freeney react to an unbelievable tale told by fellow Badin resident. adin Big at Heart We love Badin girls ! chanted Zahm resi- dents as they marched across campus to serenade the freshmen girls. Kneeling underneath the porch crooning You ' ve lost that Lovin ' Feeling , the new members of the Badin family got their first taste of life in Badin Hall-unpredictable. As the smallest women ' s dorm on campus, Badin girls unite with fierce pride and a winning spirit. The best example of Badin spirit was the 1992 Badin Attitude football team. Although the team had a reputation for weakness, they shocked opponents with their speed, skill and accuracy. Badin had a winning season, defeating formidable opponents like 1991 Champions, BP. There was no clear cut explanation for Badin ' s sudden turnaround this season, victory resulted from a combination of determination, competi- tiveness, and of course, Badin att itude. Badin success extended to other facets of campus life. Badin raised over $10,000 from the sale of 1992 Irish football T-shirts, and donated funds to a family struck by the Miami hurricane. The dorm also initiated an aerobics class for resi- dents, established a Big Sister program for fresh- men, and continued its tradition of having mass on both Sunday and Wednesday nights. Badin hall mirrors the success of the Uni- versity of Notre Dame from its sports to service. Sheila Navagh

Dillon ' s annual pep rally before the first home game is its claim to fame. Other traditions include the Dillon Scavenger Hunt, Baby New Day (a tension breaker every midnight during finals), Big Red ' s outstanding performance in interhall athletics, and their dorm fight song. Not to be overlooked is Dillon ' s contri- bution to service projects on and off campus. Among these are the Hurricane Relief Fund, St. Hedwigs Neighborhood Study Program, and the Logan Center for the Disabled.
