FRESH N FEL AQZWM- ' N t , --kx , .- - -. JT f f T K . .,.. . . . ,. ,, f' . , , .. t is a bright and sunny Sat- urday afternoon. The leaves are changing colors and a touch of the approach- ing winter is in the air. And what is the typical Holy Cross student doing? Heading down to freshman field for a fun- filled day of tailgating. Cars start appearing in the early waking hours. Kegs become visible up and down the field followed by unheeded warn- ings by Security to remove them. As the day progresses, more and more students con- gregate around kegs, music, and friends waiting for kick-off time. Of course, diehard fans start making their way into the stadium. For those students who never used their tickets, there follows that desire to re- main by the keg for just one more beer . Soon these Holy Cross fans find themselves asking what's the score? and decide to remain outside of the stadium until halftime. Probably the best Crusader tailgaters are those who re- main on the field well after the game has ended, helping fel- low students finish that last keg. Another enjoyable day of tailgating comes to an end. Other aspects of Holy Cross tailgating are also evident. One is the distinct difference between Fitton Field and Freshman Field tailgaters. The more serious tailgaters, made up of loyal alumni, tend to spend their day on Fitton Field. Their concerns are quali- ty tailgates with food, decora- tions, grills and more. Howev- er, their greatest concern remains the game. Thus, the tradition of Holy Cross tailgating will continue well into the future, and, may- be someday we, as alumni, will join the serious tailgaters on Fitton Field. - Michelle Brignola A Time For Laughter.

EA T DRINK A ND if--f'ly:.:::1.-5,, V . ii . , L riday morning at nine o'clock and all is - well, not so great. You were out last night at Caro St., Cambridge St. or was it a local bar? Regardless of where you went the story is still the same: you partied too hard and too late and now you must get up and prepare for class, You could throw on the clothes that you had on last night and rush right out to Kimball. Or, if you live off cam- pus, you could search for some leftovers as well as clean dishes and have breakfast. Chances are you will hold out, regardless of where you live, and visit Hogan's second floor cafe for lunch. After your class on Friday, you f N tm it Q 'tw f .1 3 3 -1 -in , , ff' r i I . f 8 Opening take a much deserved nap. By the time you wake up and shower, it is dinner time. lf you live off campus you figure out whose turn it is to cook. If you are on campus, you read the daily news and see what Kim ball has to offer you. Either way, if the answer to the ques tion, What's for dinner? isn't appealing you visit the Pizza Parlor in Hogan Stand By Me. After four years these seniors are still friends. Give Me a Light.
