    Your ice cream dreams can come true
Galaxy and Snowflake Surprise were once
only ice cream dreams. But this month the two
flavors — last year's contest winners, — were
whipped up by the Prince Puckler's ice cream
team, in honor of the second annual Create
Your Own Ice Cream contest.
Prince Puckler's is taking suggestions for
original ice cream names and flavors of ice
creams with three ingredients or less. Entry
forms for the contest may be filled out at Prince
Puckler's stores through Saturday, May 12.
Then, on May 13, the Puckler's employees will
select the grand prize winners and runners-up
for the most unique and flavorful ice cream
entered from categories of persons over 12
years old and those under 12. In addition, a
prize will be awarded in both age categories for
the most original title.
"Last year we had over 300 and this year it
looks like we'll have over 500 entries," says
Prince Puckler's owner Lolly Robertson.
In the flavor category last year, Galaxy, a
dark chocolate malt with white chocolate chips
took first place in the 12-and-over category,
while a coconut, almond and chocolate chip
Snowflake Surprise topped in the childrens'
f
entries.
Awards for names in the 12-and-over group
went to an entry for lemon ice cream called
Pucker Up, and to a child who titled a combina
tion of sherbets, Tie-Dye.
The grand prize winner from each age
category will be awarded an ice cream party for
12. The runners-up and the original title winners
will each receive $5 Prince Puckler's gift cer
tificates. In addition, 100 names will be drawn
from the entries and awarded free ice cream
sundaes.

Taking note
It makes me sick.
Quietly, without creating much of a stir, junk food has
completely infiltrated the bodies and minds of all Americans,
destroying their moral and natural fiber with putrid and
poisonous preservatives. Indeed, it has had a far greater effect
than purely physical distortion — as if mountains of obesity
and faces full of green and white pus were not enough.
No, junk food has done much more damage than that. It
has altered lifestyles and turned us into a country of deranged
idiots. We need only look as far back as a few years and as far
away as San Francisco to see an indication of junk food's
hideous impression on an otherwise stable human mind:
Poor, normal Dan White, driven by a creme-filled addiction,
blowing away two of the city's most prominent officials. His
defense cry, "the twinkies made me do it!" will forever re
main in our memory, not because it was ridiculous, but
because the legal community took it seriously. One can im
agine more to come: Dorito murderers, monster cookie
rapists, and the like.
All around me, people are turning into animals. One col
league of mine used to be good-natured enough. Rumor has
it that he had tried every illegal drug on the market, but
always came away unscathed. However, about two years ago
he decided he would not eat anything unless it tasted like
nacho cheese or sour cream and onion.
And that's when the metamorphosis began. Now, he cuts
his hair hideously short, wears an ear clip and goes around
telling people that Jerry Garcia is imperfect.
The infiltration
of the impure twinkie
Doug Nash
Stranger still is the story of. another friend. A four-point
student in high school, he never believed that consuming
monster cookies and coke every morning for breakfast could
ever have a lasting effect. Was he wrong. Last year, he drop
ped out of school and currently has a lifestyle that would
make Students for Beastiality blush.
The tragic part is that my friends barely had to get out of
bed to get their junk food fix. Indeed, in this town, so widely
known for its granola tastes, there seems to be some kind of
greasy, chocolate-covered vomit always within birkenstock
distance.
At the center of all this lies the Erb Memorial Union, its in
terior oozing with chemical addititives and dentists'
nightmares. If one wanted to make a list of the world's worst,
most harmful foods, one only need visit the EMU. Just gaze in
side the Fishbowl, and let the eyes wander along the glazed
doughnuts, the liquid sugar, the rows and rows of orange
colored Cheetos.
And then there's the Main Desk — a temple for junk food
worshippers. I can remember staring in awe at the variety of
garbage it has to offer, and none of it worth even opening the
wrapper.
It's got to be changed. It's got to be destroyed, and clean
ed, and naturalized before it's too late. But don't listen to me.
Eat your twinkie. I'll eat my words, if I have to.
They're probably more nutritious anyway.
