Vol. 59 No. 20 ews.com flyern university of dayton campus members share holiday traditions

Dear UD,

This week, the Flyer News staff scoured the University of Dayton campus and gathered stories of holiday traditions from students of all different faith backgrounds.

In the spirit of Christmas, we donned our note pads and cameras and talked to you to see what important holiday tra- ditions you wanted to share with your fellow Flyers. From multiple Christmas trees to the festival of lights, students from a variety of religious backgrounds decided to share.

Enjoy your holidays, however you may celebrate them!

Sincerely, The Flyer News Staff

Grant had limited playing time dur- ing his freshman year, but the Miami native still ended his career with 902 points. As a result, Grant currently sits at No. 54 on Day- ton’s all-time scoring list. “He was ready to go from the first day, just a really dedicated guy,” said Doug Hauschild, the director of media relations for UD athlet- ics. Grant had it all back in his playing days: great work ethic, enthusiasm and a love for the game, according to his former teammate Dan Christie. Christie also said he’d never for- get the first time it snowed on campus in 1983 – their freshman year – when they roomed to- gether on the second floor of Founders Hall. “I [remember] seeing him running down, grabbing a bunch of snow, coming back up in his room, taking out the window screens, packing snow balls and drilling people on the sidewalk in front of Founders with them,” Christie said. “He thought that was the fun- nest thing ever.” Don Donoher, Dayton’s all-time win- ningest head coach who led the team from 1964-89, said Grant would light up a room. “He was a real asset to our program,” Donoher said in a phone interview. “On top of being a great player, he [is] just a great guy.” Donoher said he still stays in close contact with his former player. To get to this point in his career, however, Grant has already been a great surprise, said Hauschild.
