Homework and Spring Break don’t usually go together, but 70 percent of students reported hav ing some kind of work assigned and 90 percent of those students thought that was unrealistic. When students were asked what they wished they had done on Spring Break, they replied “Gone to Florida to do that whole Spring Break thing,” “gone some where other than home,” and “gone to the beach and drank.” And what do they wish they hadn’t done? “Been caught tres passing” was one answer. “Homework” and “hang out with people 1 didn’t like” were some of the other responses. Well, whatever you did or didn’t do, wherever you went, re turn to school means only one thing: the semester is almost over. Summer break is just around the comer and the chance to make more memories, regrets, and mis takes will be on us once more! ‘Man of 1,000 voices’ to perform Thursday Actor and comedian Michael Winslow, man of 1,(X)0 voices, will be on campus performing at 8 p.m. in the Power’s Recital Hall this Thursday, April 3, as part of Spring Fling ‘97.
