It's lima for spring break
Enough is enough It's time to
heat! out. Time to leave problems
behind Time to see something
new.
Some will bike among the
Saguaro cactus in the desert
bloom of the Sonoran desert
Some will flagrantly violate Son
ny Bono's "no-thong" bikini ordi
nance in Palm Springs. Some will
stay in Eugene, wishing they
were somewhere else
University students will be
enjoying themselves during
spring break in lots of different
ways. Nationally, more than 35
percent of students report a trip
on spring break.
Teresa C j»rd. of All Ways Trav
el in the EMU, said many stu
dents have bonked flights to well
known party places like Puerto
Vallarta or San Padre Island.
Texas.
Card is going to combine spring
break with marriage in Puerto
Vallarta.
"All I know is we're going to
wear Hawaiian shirts and shorts
in the wedding,” Card said.
Many of the corporate-spon
sored tieach bacchanals, or beach
side bashes, thrown by MTV,
Budweiser or Coca-Cola, will
draw almost half a million row
dy revelers.
Thu bashes have come under
lire in the past few years for par

Puerto Vallarta. Moody said, “Oh.
just hang out." She also will final

Many students have chosen
vacations that will give them
peace of mind and a healthy
Itody.
Damon Valla, 22. a geology

friends.
"I'm ready for spring." Valla

Oregon Club Sports teams are
also looking forward to spring
break.

There, the team will train for
three hours a day in the sun and

Participants in the University's

over the Western states in search
of adventure and pristine wilder

One group has already left for

Grand Canyon. „
Another group will be visiting
the "desert bloom” of Death Val

said. “He works on the moun
tain."
The Outdoor Program has a
group that will circumnavigate,
or follow the circumference of
Crater Lake, via cross country ski
ing and ice camping.
Still, some students are head
ed for the great indoors.
David Erbes, a general science
major, is going to stay indoors
and see a different sort of
wildlife. He's heading to the crap
tables and poker tables in Reno.
Many students will catch up
on rest and personal business
they didn't have time for during
the term. Others will look for jobs
or work, and many will enjoy the
local scene.
"I'm going to go crazy, that's
where I’m going." said Mark
Schwier, a history major. Schwier
will be spending his one day of
break in Portland at Powell's
bookstore and Spartacus. a
leather and sex-toy store.

spring break in Eugene, though.
