Food samples, handouts, demonstrations and displays by represen tatives of various in terest and consumer groups will be available. Nutritious luncheon specials will be available in the Cone University By Nancy Davis It doesn’t matter how rested you are, how much money you earned, how many beers you drank or even how many papers you caught up on when there are people walking around with Florida suntans. All the peace of mind in the world can't make up for that glorious feeling of bronzeness. The Monday after spring break is always ruined for me by the invasion of those tanned aliens with ultra-bright smiles and sun highlighted hair. However, if you’d like, you can join me in my crusade to ignore tanned people. Some of my tactics are downright mean, but I can lower myself to any level when it comes to brown bodies in 45 degree weather. I have quite a selection of lines to use on these people, so feel free to lake one or two. These lines are guaranteed to send anybody runn ing to the closest mirror or to a drugstore for a bottle of QT. "How did you ever get one side of your face browner than the other side?” “Are you peeling or did you go to bed with a scalev fish?” "Your tan certainly makes you look older. Those wrinkles are really becoming.” Now. these next lines are guaranteed to keep them out of the sun for at least two months. "You remind me a lot of my cousin just before she died from skin cancer.” "Does your face always swell up like that when you get a tan?” ”1 think that piece of skin hanging off the tip of your nose is kind of cute.” So, now that you've got your ammunition, if you're like me. you've got to have some alibis, too. Of course, there are a lot better things to do than to drive 28 hours, get stepped on by 50.000 up north preppies and be followed around by police armed with handcuffs and cans of mace just to gel a lan. But trying to convince the Coppertone crowd is another story. Defending your right to come back from spring break without a tan takes a little ingenuity. There are two methods I've found to be really useful. First of all, you can act like you went to Florida. All it’ll lake is rubbing your skin down with some oil. so-il shines, saturating your clothes with the smell of coconuts, and already start wearing spring looking clothes. Eight times out of 10 you'll fit right in. Some good names of motels to say you stayed in are Sea Breeze. Ocean View, Tropical Villa and Sand Dollar Inn. Nobody will ever know the dif ference. If somebody does start acting suspicious and begins asking more detailed questions, like "Where did you go al night?" or "Who did you go with? just laugh hysterically and answer. "You think I was ever sober enough to remember such small details?" If you're not into fooling the public and would rather just face up to the fact you didn't make il to Florida, then there's the other method I call "untan ned with dignity." Realizing you have a long way to catch up means finding a secluded spot and lying oul in 55 degree weather whenever the sun is out. It means a little more make-up and the purchasing of a sun lamp. It means holding your head high whenever you smell Noxema and looking the other way when a parade of tans dressed in pink, yellow and light blue are headed your way. For the first couple of weeks after break, it's always hard, but I realized life goes on without a tan. There are always those memories of sipping a beer on a local beach in a sweater and having lots of room to dance and shoot pool. And, of course, there's always next year. Center Cafeteria from 11 a.m.-l:30 p.m. and in the Residence Hall Cafeteria. Some of the entrees include: broiled fish with herbs, eg gplant parmesan, cheese soup, broccoli/cheese sauce, salad bar special, crob cake, rice pudding and herb teas. “We hope to express the fact that wholesome foods are not weird and strange but just taste better and are more nutritious if prepared without so many additives,” Marian Beane, Interna tional Student Advisor, said. A questionnaire concerning natural foods will be available for response to the food and an opportunity to ex press interest in more regular alternative foods. Several films which point up some of the issues consumers face in buying, preparing and consuming food today will be featured. Chemical Feast tells the Campus Life Evil suntans story of a lemon mer ingue pie made from nothing but chemicals. Toast traces the development of a piece of toast from the wheat to the toaster. Also featured are Supergloop and Eat, Drink and Be Live music will also be featured as part of the day’s events. “The day is for you and we hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to taste and try some of the good things in life,” Beane
