Campus News:

There was an article in the most recent ND magazine on vandals that hit the campus last Thanksgiving. Paint guns splattered red on numerous buildings and cars. Doors were "X"ed with markers. Nearly all the chairs in the LaFortune lounge area were slashed. Did i mention this happened during the day and security caught no one? Way to earn those paychecks, boys! I got to town mid-January and the seats had not been recovered. (Nice to see how high a priority the STUDENT center is.) I went through recently and saw that they have been recovered. Oh yeah, no one's been caught yet.

Hall Notes:

Pat Garrity was selected #19 by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1998 NBA Draft. His stay there was short-lived as he was traded to Dallas and then traded again to Phoenix. That is the best place of the 3. He's at an ideal location. He was projected to go higher and be a lottery pick. I believe his stock dropped because he didn't attend any of the post-season combines or camps in preparation for the draft. Instead he chose to enjoy second semester here at ND. Way to go pat. Do us proud. I think he'll be a solid pro.

Campus News:

Correction. Anthony Travel and the arcade flip-flopped places. Who did I hear this from? None other than one Frank Franco. That's right, I stepped in and got a cut from the man. I got the patented swami head rub that he began down at my ankles. Then he brought out the horse brush. He started down at my chin and cultivated my entire head incessantly. The brush dug in until my scalp was a raw stump, one comb away from a bloodpath of Tarantino-like proportions. Nobody does it better.

Hall Notes:

News on the class of '98....The injury report. Farina, yes, the little squirrel, got in a vicious wreck. He was leaving D-6 and on Dorr Road heading toward 31. He said the accelerator stuck so to avoid going out into 31 he veered to his left and into the fence around the golf course. The fence gave way and he hit a tree. He was stuck in there quite awhile before the jaws of life got him out. He had minor injuries.

Slimmer...at the beginning of senior week fell down the stairs in front of Carroll. Rumor was that he was in one or two casts and that he had broken both elbows. I talked to him and got the scoop. Just in one sling but he messed up one elbow and the other should be O.K. No casts at that time. Rough way to enter graduation.

NDSportscenter:

Pat Garrity was awarded 1 of 10 NACDA scholarships. It was a student-athlete award and the 10 people were from all NCAA athletics, not just basketball.
