Many vegetarians complain that they have
a hard time finding vegetarian food to eat on
the go. If this sounds like you, SUNFLOWERS
■ SANDWICH SHOP is a must-see. This small
restaurant truly has something for everyone
with one mouth-watering vegetarian menu
and many tasty non-vegetarian options as
well. Best of all, if you are in a hurry, you
can always call In your order and pick it up
at the drive-thru window. But plan your trip
accordingly—Sunflowers only accepts cash or
checks, not credit or debit cards.

PANZAU: HAZARDS OF
DRUNK DRIVING
By Danielle Beck
Staff Writer
A few weeks ago a young man over
at North Carolina State University
had a promising future until one
night, right after school started, he
and some of his buddies went out
to celebrate his 21st birthday with
a few drinks. The young man was
completely smashed after a few
drinks, and his buddies drove him
back to his apartment where he slept
for the night.
When he got up the next morning,
he thought he was sober enough to
get in his car and drive to class; ap
parently he was not as sober as
he thought because his blood al
cohol level was still over the legal
limit. He was driving at high speeds
and tragically killed a former NC
State professor’s wife. In a matter
of moments, his life was changed
forever because he faces crimi
nal charges.and he now has to go
around to high schools in the ^ea
and tell his story as part of his pun
ishment.
Unfortunately, that young man is
not the first and will not be the last
not only to ruin his own life but also
an entire family’s life as well. Be
cause of the strict no-alcohol policy
on the Meredith Campus and with
the new apartments coming in the
fall of 2009, the alcohol policy has
repeatedly been up for consideration
of revising. Due to the new apart
ments and the growing problem of
drinking illegally and legally on
campuses all over North Carolina,
last week Meredith College’s Resi
dence Hall Association sponsored
Pholo eoanesy mm.tissnoslatem>/s.com
a young woman, Sarah Panzau, to
come and speak to the Meredith
College community about her story.
Imagine one minute being a star
athlete and having everything go
ing perfectly for you, a free ride to
college among many other things,
and then throwing it all away. Pan
zau was an All-American volleyball
player and had a really bright fUture
ahead of herself until one night.

Dear Gigi,
I can’t believe it. My life is over. This week, right after he took me out to dinner at P.F. Chang's,
my boyfriend felt the need to break up with me. Me! And you wanna know why? He says he’s
gay! He’s not gay, he just wants to date other people, but he can’t just tell me that to my face,
no, he has to go and make up this whole thing about being gay. What am I supposed to do
with him now? Just let him go or go post it all over Facebook that he’s “gay"? My revenge! And
how am I supposed to go date other men? This is crazy...
-Furious Femme
Dear Furious Femme,
It really stinks that your lame ex-boyfriend broke up with you unexpectediy. If he really is so
immature that he has to lie about his sexuality instead of just telling you he’s not into you any
more, he’s not worthy of your time or your frustration. Now, take a moment to consider that he
just might be telling the truth. But. lying sack-o’-hay or truthful gay, your ex made it clear that
it’s over, so it’s time to begin the bitter-sweet process of moving on with your fabulous life. En
joy the time you now have to yourself and use it to figure out what you want to find in the next
guy you date. You should start by making a list of personal qualities in a potential boyfriend
that are absolute musts and definite deal-breakers, and keep that list somewhere where you
can read it a few times every day—as a result, when you next meet someone you like, you’ll
immediately know whether he makes the first cut. You need time to heal, so don’t try to rush
into another relationship during this time, but casually dating can be incredibly refreshing after
a hurtful break-up—at the very least, you’ll be flattered with attention an'd you’ll (hopefully!) get
some free meals. What’s better than that?
Yours truly,
Gigi
