This year, residents and faculty decided to bring back an old tradition of playing against each other in a basketball game on campus. Two hard-fought games were played. The residents won the first game (32-28), and the faculty won the second game (32-25). A third game will be set in the near future to determine the true winner of the “Rotator Cup” trophy. The last match took place in 2001, and the residents won the trophy.
