COIP ' by timothy kuhn The tradition of dorm mass will never go out of style, be- cause Notre Dame students love to pray hard. Each Sunday night, students take a break from their busy schedules to reflect on the past week and thank God for the gifts that they have been given. Dorm communities gather like famihes to worship through word and action. Voices sing songs of praise and thanksgiving, while hearts offer prayers of hope and love. Friends greet each other with smiles and use this time to catch up with those they might not have seen in awhile. The liturgies themselves are quite beautiful. Choirs consist- ing of the hall residents lead their brothers and sisters in song.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have come to the right place! With the addition of Reckers and Burger King to the Notre Dame campus in the fall of 1998, students now have more options for places to meet their friends, or grab a bite to eat. In the middle of August. Burger King brought the wonders of a nationally known fast food chain to the Notre Dame campus, along with a sense of familiarity that gives students one more reason to go to the LaFortune Student Center. According to manager Jim Labella, The response has been phenomenal. The stu- dents seem to love it. For those students who may live too far away from LaFortune to run out for a snack, something new awaits on South Quad. With these students in mind, Reckers was recently completed as the new- est addition Dining Hall would not site where could grab to eat, bui where the when the hourof pari- over cam- night.

It also features the almost-famous Reckers burger. We ' re still working on making it famous, said manager Dan Dresbach. Both of the new additions offer students new food options and places to socialize with their friends, but perhaps most impor- tantly, the opening of these two new places on campus signals the start of new traditions. Freshman Shannon Rylee and her friends started their own tradition of Tuesday night smoothies. We did it the first night we were here and decided it made a nice break from studying, Shannon said. With the opening of Reckers and Burger King, Notre Dame has definitely brought a well needed change in social space and dining options, while creating a chance for students both new and old to create traditions of their own. •LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO CHAT?
