its doors to customers.

bakery goods. The store will be
offering cookies, doughnuts, muffins,
bagles, pastries, pies, cakes, ice
cream, soft yogurt and much more.
Prices will range form $.50 to $3.00.
Bakery items, other than
doughnuts, will be made on the
premises. The doughnuts will be
provided by Paul's Pastry Shop. "We
want a homemade taste and to stay
away from the commercial style of
products, Scoggins said.
Scoggins has had nine years
experience in the restaurant business.
Elon College was an ideal
location for the family-owned and
operated shop because the nearest
bakery to this location is in Burling
ton, Scoggins said.
Scoggins asked students who
patronize another business owned by
her family. Endless Summer tanning
salon, also localcd on Lebanon
Avenue, what type of business they
wanted in this location. Because of
the students' responses, the town of
Elon will soon offer a bakery at
which Scoggins hopes "all will feel
welcome." Scoggins and her family
also own Coming Attractions hair
salon.

people. Le Sweet Shoppe’s hours

Mexican
vacation
SUB offers trip
for Spring Break
By DeeDee Carowan
The Pendulum
No plans for Spring Break? The Student Union
Board wants to help out. SUB is sponsoring a trip to
Cozumel, Mexico.
The trip is scheduled for Miu-ch 19-23 and is
available to Elon
students and their
guests from other
colleges.
Cozumel, near
Cancun, is an is
land localcd off of
Mexico’s Yucatan
Peninsula, which
features beautiful
Cariblxjan beaches,
famous ancient
Mayan ruins and
the world’s second
liirgesi coral reef.
“For a lot of
people who haven’t
been able to u-avel
abroad, this is an
excellent opportu
nity to go to another
country and have a
good time,” said
Maureen Dough-
erty, SUB’s advisor.
The time in Cozumel will be unsuructured, and days
can be spent diving or snorkling, tiiking island tours,
dancing, windsurfing or shopping. The average tem
perature in March is 80 degrees and that month also has
the least amount of rainfall.
The total cost, which includes ground uiinsporta-
tion from Elon to Atlanta, airfare from Atlanta to
Cozumel and hotel accommodations, is $399. This
price excludes food and optional packages or excur
sions.
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required when
signing up, which should take place as soon as possible.
The total amount will be due Friday, March 9. If the
total allotment of 26 people sign up, one free trip will be
raffied off. In order to be ensured a spot, those interested
should contact Dougherty in the Campus Activities
office or Jeanette Jurkiewicz in the SUB office. Both
offices are on the second floor of Long Student Center.
SUB members selected Cozumel because they felt
it best met the criteria set by average college students:
a good time at a low cost. “It’s a really good deal,"
Jurkiewicz said.
