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

isher Focus on Friends Each fall, freshman find themselves riding the Green Wave into South Quad ' s Fisher Hall. Situated way down on south quad, Fisher guys take pride in their spirit and concern for each other. Due to its size, Fisher could be overshad- owed by giants like Alumni and Dillon, but Fisher uses its relative smallness to foster strong friend- ships between residents. Sense of unity is obvious in the residents ' active participation in interhall sports and the enthusiasm for dorm activities. Fisher dis- plays this most clearly with the placement of a prominant F on the dorm ' s facade. The renowned Fisher Regatta annually con- cludes a week ' s festivities. Proceeds from this campus wide competition are donated to the Andre House, a homeless shelter. The Regatta is the most visible, though not the only, sign of the unique spirit that makes Fisher Hall a special place . - Anne Green Billions of Boats. One of the most anticipated events of the year is the Fisher Hall Regatta. After months of planning, Mel Almagro and other Regatta chairpersons watch the fruits of their labor. photo courtesy o Sing Along.
