Editors Note
Ahhh spring
break. Sweeter
words were
never spoken.
Relaxing by the
beach, hanging
out i n a hotel
room with your
friends, tropical
eveni ngs sur-
rounded by wildly attractive, half-
naked people, or at least thats the
way I picture everyone elses spring
breaks. So far mine have been spent
picking up extra work shifts for vaca-
tioning co-workers. It makes it really
fun to hear classmates recounting
tales of steamy nights with cold
drinks when all I have to share is the
weeks inventory reports.
This year, however, Im going to
New York with my mom. We probably
wont have sun or sand, but we will be
able to spend some much needed
time together in a fabulous city. The
trip wont be entirely pleasure: Ill be
doing interviews to try to eke out a
spot in the work force for when I grad-
uate in May. And my mom doesnt
know yet, but were staying at a one-
star hotel thats practically in Harlem.
At least I wont be working there.
But for those of you who wont be
leaving Lawrence, or spending all of
your time covering others shifts,
check out Stuck in the Middle on
page 17 for advice on having an
exciting vacation without going out
of the area. If youre traveling by car,
look for Hit the Road, Jack on page
six and get your vehicle up to par.
And for car-time munchies that wont
make you sick, flip to page fours
Greaseless Grab & Go. No matter
where youre going, if youre going to
be in close quarters with friends for
the week, youll need a plan to sur-
vive. So make sure to read When
Tension Mounts on page six.
And if my mom and I survive our
vacation in the cheap hotel in an
unfamiliar neighborhood, I too will
have some stories to tell. I hope it will
be that I got a job.

21 hours with four
friends to Florida in a less than midsize car,
sharing a hotel room with two beds and
five other people these are some of the
sacrifices college students are willing to
make to have a perfect spring break.
Unfortunately, this nine-day vacation can
turn more into an inescapable nightmare
when you and your travel companions
become less than friendly with one
another. Here are some tips on how to not
kill your friends while traveling with them.
Pre-vacation check
Talking about the trip in detail before-
hand can help prevent fights during the
vacation, says Stephanie Coleman,
branch manager of STA Travel in the
Kansas Union. Coleman says being as
organized as possible can help eliminate
stress during break. This includes not only
making a list of all the clothes youre bring-
ing but making a document folder that
holds your passport, vouchers, airline tick-
ets and itineraries. Once you have yourself
organized, Coleman recommends having
a group meeting about the trip. Discuss
what you have a mutual interest in doing,
Coleman says. Make sure everyone actu-
ally wants to go to the bars every night
dont just make the assumption. Another
way to avoid tension during your trip is to
discuss money beforehand. How will you
handle cab fare? Will you split it each time?
Will you take turns? What if one ride costs
more than another? Coleman says know-
ing these things ahead of time can help
avoid fights.
Vacation time
For Overland Park sophomore Chelsea
Dutton, there werent problems with the
spring break organizing, her problems
came while she was in Mexico last break.
Dutton went with two of her friends, who
were fighting with one another the major-
ity of the time. Dutton says she felt as
though she was constantly being put in
the middle of the fight. What started out as
constant bickering between them turned
ugly when one friend said it was time to go
out to dinner. Dutton says she got up to go,
but the other girl just lay on the bed and
said she wasnt hungry. From there they
started arguing about whether or not they
would all go to dinner, which eventually
led to the nonhungry girl being dragged
off the bed and out of the hotel room by
Duttons other friend, locking her out of the
room. The entire incident was surreal, Dut-
ton says, she tried not to take sides during
the trip.
While it may be easier to not take sides
or bottle up your feelings during a fight,
Deana Williams, CAPS psychology intern,
says thats not the best way to handle a
fight. Dont swallow your feelings be
honest with them, Williams says. If
youre upset about anything, talk to your
friends about it and dont antagonize it fur-
ther, she says. Fights are common while
traveling with friends for a variety of rea-
sons, Williams says. Travelers anxiety lev-
els are higher because they are eating and
sleeping differently, plus with large
amounts of alcohol sometimes added in
an unstable environment can be created.

Chintan Modha, Overland Park junior, met Sumitha Nagarajan, Over-
land Park junior, at a mutual friends birthday party. After being intro-
duced to Nagarajan and her roommate, Modha made the common
mistake of asking Nagarajan if she and her roommate were twins.
Nagarajan and her roommate laughed at Modha for his stupidity
because both were different ages, born in different countries and were
not related at all. Later that night, Modha apologized and both laughed
off the incident and became friends. Now, both see each other occa-
sionally at the library or at parties. But Modha admits that he still con-
fuses Nagarajan for her roommate sometimes.

Yourecruising down the
highway to your spring break destination
and everyones starting to get hungry.
Dont look to the golden arches when you
can tap into a trunk-full of delicious food
options. Stock up on a variety of food and
create your own healthy meals on the
road. If you skip the sketchy, in-the-mid-
dle-of-nowhere restaurant your body will
thank you, and youll save your cash.
You must plan ahead if you are relying
on your own food for meals. Eating from
your car is a challenge, but with advice
from experienced road-trippers you can
pack food that will sustain your energy
and help you avoid drive-through fast
food and the omni-present gas station
food.
A Road Pro
Jenny Wurtz, Topeka senior, knows
what food works for eating in the car. An
experienced food-independent traveler,
Wurtz says she almost always makes her
own meals from food she packs. For the
basics, Wurtz suggests bringing rice
cakes, hummus, a bag of baby carrots, a
jar of applesauce, spinach leaves, avo-
cado and sardines (her boyfriend eats
them on rice cakes). Wurtzs favorite fill-
ing treat is the Oregon Trail mixit has
dark chocolate chipsfrom the Commu-
nity Mercantile, 901 Iowa St.
This spring break, Wurtz plans to head
to a currently unknown destination in the
southwest.
Gourmet To-Go
Another food-savvy traveler, Megan
Boledovich, Naperville, Ill., sophomore,
suggests preparing a basic pasta salad for
the road. The day before you leave, cook
some pasta, rinsing with cold water after
draining. In a large plastic container, com-
bine the noodles with chopped onion,
green or red pepper, carrot or celery.
Throw in some olives for more flavor.
Drizzle with salad dressingBoledovich
suggests Italian dressingand shake
well. Keep in the cooler, and add spinach
leaves for an easy salad. This easy-to-
make dish will add zest to the abundance
of raw foods that youll be consuming.
Tuna salad is another easy option for a
protein-packed, flavorful meal. In a plastic
container combine a pack of tuna, one or
two mayonnaise packs from a gas station
(if you accidentally forget to bring mayo),
a handful of dried cranberries and some
apple slices. This tuna salad is good alone
or on bread.
One more suggestion: if youre a java-
junkie or coffee-craver, a French press
coffee maker could be your best friend on
the road. To save yourself from stale, gas
station coffee, bring a French press and
ground coffee beans. You only need to
add boiling water. For more information
see fantes.com/french_press.htm.
Take advantage of the warmer weather
during spring break; jump in the car and
headanywhere. Just make sure your
car is stocked with some whole foods to
sustain your energy and help you steer
clear of scary fast food restaurants. Save
money and stay healthy!

can opener for, unless you are bringing
one)
Dried cranberries
Pasta salad
Salad dressing

cubes and avoid a watery mess in your
cooler.
Pack your cooler items in reusable
plastic containers to keep out mois-
ture. Also use them to combine foods
like a spinach salad or tuna salad.

oldies music playing in the background. The sweet selections
send sugar lovers into saccharine heaven but are balanced with
more filling options such as sandwiches and salads.
Food type: The shop prides itself on many fresh and home-
made items such as their fudge, shakes and malts, limeades
and soda floats. Becky Bowers, co-owner of the store, is espe-
cially proud of their popcorn, which is made the old-fashioned
way with homemade caramel and cinnamon. You can also pick
from a menu of non-sugary munchies such as a BLT sandwich,
salads or enchiladas.
Price range: Get an assortment of candy for about $1.50 a
quarter-pound or try the sandwiches, salads and other non-
sweet alternatives range from about $3 to $5. Flavored popcorn
is $6.50 a gallon and a fresh made drink costs about $1.
Attire requirements: Casual. A truffle may sound fancy but
you dont need to be dressed up to eat one.
Date-worthiness: Yes! This would be an original idea for an
afternoon date. Instead of grabbing a cup of coffee, why not
grab a bag of candy?
Booze availability: None, but you can still get a sugar buzz
from all of the sweets.
Easter Eatings: Bowers says the store is very popular for
Easter candy shopping, so stop by and check out the chocolates
and other candies for the holiday.
