continuing the big red legacy dillon hall the 2007 school year was one to remember for the men of Dillon Hall. The hall ' s many traditions continued with success, contributing to Dillon ' s history of spirit and sePv ice. During the spring semester, the men of Dillon spent a full month growing out their facial hair in preparation for the annual ' Stache Bash, which raised thousands of dollars for testicular cancer research. Dillon residents also showcased their talents at the Dillon Dude Auction where they sold themselves as dates for the Opening Day Dance in the name of charity and fun. The Fall Semester was kicked off by the Dillon Pep Rally the Thursday before the first game. Senior tight end John Carlson and head coach Charlie Weis made appearances as speakers and Fr. Doyle entertained everyone by crowd-surfing with the freshmen. Like every year, Dillon furthered its reputation as the toughest, smartest, and humblest dorm on campus. story by Michael Schaefer Taylor Montgomery yells to a crowd of Dillon men at a pep rally, photo by David Prina A resident cheers wildly for Dillon at the Georgia Tech pep rally, photo by David Prina I; III (hordes is lifted into a sea ( ' (v 1 1 at the Georgia Tech pep ' yhoto bv David Prina Dillonites perform a skit at the 2007 Dillon Pep Rally. photo by Anya Henhberger Brad LeNoir poses as Father Doyle in a skit at Dillon ' s Pep Rally, photo by Anya Henhberger dillon 21

Cavanaugh Hall ' s signature event is the Cavanaugh Dance-a-thon. In previous years, the Dance-a-thon had been held in the LaFortune ballroom during February with mostly Cavanaugh residents attending. In 2007, the Dance-a-thon was held outside during March to encourage other students to attend. Cavanaugh also invites several organizations and clubs from around campus to perform during the Dance-a-thon. Various contributors donate prizes, and the residents of Cavanaugh sell raffle tickets the week preceeding the Dance-a-thnn. There are several drawings during the Dance-a-thon to win these great prizes. Previous prizes have included a free roundtrip plane ticket; iPods; and gift cards to various places. All the proceeds from the raffle tickets go to a local charity, St. Margaret ' s House, a safe haven for battered women and children. Every year, Cavanaugh finds a corporation to match the money they raise, and last year Cavanaugh teamed up with Wal-Mart to donate 4,000 dollars to St. Margaret ' s House. story by O iey Carney dance-a-thon Eleanor Huntington competes in Keenan ' s geography bee. photo courtesy of Eleanor Huntington Jf, Defense gathers in a huddle to ' devise a strategy against Farley. photo by Eleanor Huntington The 2007-2008 residents of Cavanaugh Hall. photo by David Prina cavanaugh 23
