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

Wet and Wild? After an hour of dorm aerobics, juniors Kim Sweeney and Amy Csizmar demonstrate their way of cooling off: a dip into Stonehenge. Are they wild enough to make this trip in the cold South Bend winter? Bathrobe Beauties. BP freshmen proudly hold up their spirit banner for the Michigan game as they walk to North Dining Hall for the annual BP Bathrobe Breakfast. This ritual takes place every year on the morning of the first home football game. reen-Phillips Playing with Power Residents of Breen-Phillips hall consider it the best place on campus. Centrally located, it is home of the champions of many interhall sports and harbors a unique spirit. Jealous female dorm rivals refer to BP as Bay of Pigs, alluding to its mysterious athletic prowess. But it is dorm unity and dedicated hard work which provide the impe- tus for success in athletics. This spirit pours into other aspects of BP life. Students from other dorms are attracted to BP ' s liturgical life, especially their Sunday ser- vice. Folk musicians, homemade eucharistic bread, and the intimate atmosphere appeal to students. Among other traditons is the BP Bath- robe Breakfast. Every year, in anticipation of the first home football game, residents crawl out of bed without primping and walk over to North Dining Hall while other North Quad residents sleep. - Elizabeth Seymour pholo by: Bryan Schneider
