It comes as no surprise that one of Notre Dame’s most popular dorm events is Walsh Hall’s “Mr. ND,” a pageant-style competition between representatives from male dorms. Competitors go head-to-head in talent and question-and-answer rounds in hope of receiving the coveted title of “Mr. ND.”

The Color Run Takes South Bend
Luckily, some truly inspired people have found a way to bring novice and expert runners together for one day of fun and exercise. The Color Run is the largest event series in the United States, and last Saturday, the event came to South Bend. Setting it apart from other races, the Color Run features volunteers showering runners with powdered colors at certain increments in the race. By the end of the day, beautiful colors cover the entirety of race participants. A concert and dance party follow shortly after the race, bringing people from all walks of life together to celebrate health and vitality.

The film Slavery by Another Name and its accompanying discussion panel illustrated this fact during a September 17 event in Geddes Hall.

The Rover turned to these experienced individuals for more information on one of the most time-honored dorm traditions on campus: the SYR.
A Little More Than Girl Power
