A tradition every spring, Fisher Hall ' s Regatta is held on St. Mary ' s Lake in April. Each dorm is invited to enter boats of their own creation. Stanford Hall played ice hockey, even though the lake had already melted, while other students paddled across the lake on armchairs. Bookstore Basketball XXII came to a close on April 24, with NBT ' s (Morning But Trouble) victory over the Headbangers, 21-19. The world ' s largest out- door five-on-five tourna- ment began with close to six hundred team this year.
