illon Doin ' it Up Dillon, famed for its fraternity-l ike repu- tation, contributes spirit to campus life. Tradi- tions and comraderie combine uniquely in Dillon Hall. Residents display unity on the football field retaliating against rival Alumni Dawgs, or at home analyzing episodes of Cheers . 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. Dillon takes pride in its social events, spiritual life, and community service activities. Striving to be the best, Dillon continues its unique traditions that set it apart from the rest.

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?

ahm Full of Zest In its efforts to stand out, Zahm hosts numerous campus activities. Zahm ' s fall acousti- cal jam brings together students and local profes- sionals to present fine guitar music, and to raise money. Zahm supports the local Logan Center and since 1982 residents have supported the Christian Children ' s Fund. Zahm boasts enduring traditions of Zahm Invitational Talent Show, and ODIN freshman initiation. ZITS showcases the hidden musical and comedic talents of the residents, with a dance following. For many Zahmbies , it ' s a chance for fun with dormmates and even rector Fr. Thomas King. During Odin, 22 freshman classes have ceremoniously been dunked in fountains, rolled in mud and bombarded with food while wearing togas. One resident recalls being hit by a dead fish. One of Zahm ' s wild residents must be IGNATS the moose head hanging in the 24- hour lounge. Zahm ' s traditions continue with music booming from rooms, verbal wars with Keenan, and the Zahmbies and Zahm Bats stalking the campus. Jeff Cabotaje photo by: Matt Cashore One of the Family.
