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.

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.

Nancy Davis relaxes as she chats on the phone with her parents. asquerilla West Playful Ways Pasquerilla West is a dorm rich in social and spiritual tradition that makes the atmosphere inside its walls truly unique. The most prominent dorm tradition which PW boasts is its annual Queen Week, held in the fall, and encouraging spirit amongst Weasels to last the whole year. Events include a messy obstacle course, spaghetti feeding without hands, a ghost-story telling com- petition, and a talent show. The one Queen nomi- nee from each section who embarasses them- selves most is crowned ultimate Queen of PW. Spiritually, PW likes to consider them- selves one of the most up-and-coming dorms with the implementation of many female homilists, as influenced by rector Laurie Brink. Each week, numerous girls attend and participate in mass, further building the family atmosphere prevalent in Pasquerilla West. And what do the Purple Weasels pray for? Depending on the season, it ' s either prayers to continue their victories in quest of the interhall title in football, basketball, or retention of their soccer title. -Caimien Quigley
