Escape Over Fall Break
by Usa Plercy
Features Editor
Tired of spending your Fall Break
g^tirig your tires rotated? Or giving Spot
one last befth before cold weather sets
in? This year, with lots of innovation -
and not very much money, in most cases
- you can return to old MC with stories to
make you the envy of the campus on
Show and Tell Day.
For those who see Fall Break as a
forced vacation from a weekend’s foot
ball tailQaiting, not to worry; there is
probably a college game very close to
where you live. Just a few: Wake Forest
at UNO, Duke at South Carolina, Rich
mond at VMI, Fayetteville State at AT&T,
Presbyterian at ^awt>a, Elon at Ferrum,
Georgia Tech at W^tem Carolina, and
Virginia at Qemson.
Most of the N.C. State fans havea long
cheaper winter twtel rates which have
gone into effect, arxl visit a “hot” vaca
tion spot such as Daytona Beach or may
be even Nassau. Another alternative
would be to iet up to Washir>gton, D.C.
or to New Yof1( for a weekend Broadway
show. Hotels and some entertainment
can be had for under $100.
Fall Bre^ weekend will probably be
the tiest time to see the beauty of the
drive ahead of them; the WOlfpacK plays
up North at Pitt. All of th^ ganes
would t)e a great opportunity to visit dif
ferent campuses, f^e a weekend of it
and see some new territory. TTie only
cost will be your tickets and gas. What a
bargain!
Really ambitious Meredith women who
want to spend all their leftover Labor Day
gift money can take advantage of the
changing rrxxintain colors; the leaves
are ecpected to be near their peak. Take
an afternoon - or even a couple of -
to drive through the mountains and
spend sometime walking in the woods or
having a picnk:. The weather will still be
pretty enough to spend a night camping
outside; try a change of pace and rent
some camping equipment from places
such as T^e Great Outdoor Provision
Corrv>any at Crabtree Mall. Prices are
very reasonable: for up to four days, they
rent sleeping bags for S6.00 and tents for
$12-$15.00. They have every supply ima
ginable for a perfect outdoor we^nd.
Hopefully, these suggestions vrill as
sist in alleviating vacation-planning trau
mas. But for the truly diligent Angel,
there's rx>thing wrong with packing a
book or two....
