Sun Bathing And A Whole Lot More By Carrie Lubinski Marquette may not rival the French Riviera or Soldier Field, but to many students Schroeder Beach and Mc- Cormick Field provide fun-filled substitutes. Granted, Milwaukee's climate isn't exactly famous for its warmth. However, between late August and September, Milwaukee's weather isn't too far from tropical. With temperatures climbing high into the 90's, and dorm rooms and apartments resembling saunas, it's no wonder students flock to their OWn private resort...Schroeder Beach. Ah yes, that tropical island on Wisconsin Avenue and 13th Street really fills up with avid sunbathers, not to mention people-watchers, dur- ing the warm-weather months. After all, who could pass up such an attrac- tive array of swimwear? But, Schroeder Beach isn't strictly for laying out. Many students visit just to talk or enjoy a small get- together in the sun. Others gather under the pretense of studying, but pleasant diversions usually win out. Schroeder Beach offers a great way to get that near-Florida tan, as well as meet other Marquette students. Schroeder Beach is like a little Fort Lauderdale in the middle of Milwaukee - wild and fun! ex- claimed Senior Cadi Breslin. Approximately three blocks west on Wisconsin Avenue is one of Mar- quette's more popular sports arenas...McCormick Field. Directly adjacent to McCormick Hall, the only many students.

Whether it's soccer, frisbee or a game of football in the mud, the field is a great place to get some exercise or just play around for the fun of it. HThe field is an excellent place to go and put away the troubles of the day simply by playing a game of foot- ball, said Freshman John Egan. If you're not a sports participant, McCormick Field offers many other activities. Many students meet and talk there, particularly on weekends, and it provides a comfortable resting place between classes. Freshman Clare Whitaker thinks, t'McCormiCk Field is a great place to go to be active and make new friends. Ask any Marquette student con- fronted with high temperatures or a low-interest lecture how hard it is to resist the temptations of playtime. One needn't look far to find the answer.

,' Activity, Relaxation + Central In The Mall Augustin By Marisa Walsh and Monica Lawler Marquette's Central Mall is a hub of activity, especially on warm, sun- ny afternoons. The grassy knoll located adjacent to Brooks Memorial Union and Lalumiere Language Hall provides beautiful atmosphere with shady trees and carefully landscaped flowerbeds. The mall is a great place to study, talk with friends, scope members of the opposite sex or just bum around. For the more energetic types, there's plenty of room to toss around a frisbee or a football. Stationed at the main intersection near the Union is a Mug Rack ven- ding cart. Students mill around the mall, as they devour a tasty beer and brat combination, happy to have a break from SAGA. A more sedate group seeks peace Doer 2' an: and quiet near St. Joan of Arc Chapel. The small, white sandstone church sits in the midst of a small park filled with trees, shrubs, bushes and flowerbeds. Students visit on weather-worn benches, or study under the peaceful haven created by the sweeping limbs of the surrounding trees. A few students concentrate on textbooks, some state dreamily into space, while others sprawl out on the lawn, wat- ching the antics of the tame squirrels that play in the area. I just sit around and relax. It's bet- ter than being cooped up inside, said Martin Pittman, engineering sophomore. I like to watch the squirrels run around. Jeff Neiger, a commuter student, said he likes to study in the chapel area. It's too quiet in the library...I usually come here to study English. Sometimes being here helps inspire me. Warm Friday afternoons mean out- door grill concerts and around 3:30 the sound of a band warming up disrupts the peace of the chapel area. Soon, the Central Mall fills up with boisterous students ready to party. Fun on the Mall isn't restricted to the warm-weather months, though. The large, open area that provided a surrogate beach in September, plays host to scores of snowmen and angels once the snow flies. Marquette's Central Mall is really a lot like a miniature park in the center of campus. All that's missing are the statues and the fountain. Well, you can't have everything. Partyng and concerts on the Mall. THIS PAGE: Top - Sophomores Peggy O'Donnel, Nancy Lukas, Kris Gill and Susie Maxwell at- tend a grill concert.
