The crowd of screaming students, dancing and spilling their drinks on each other, obviously loved both bands. Spring Fling was more than just lots of beer and loud music, though. Many friends were reunited after a long and particularly cold Miller-sville winter, and a whole lot of friendly hugging was seen amongst the impromptu games of football, volleyball, hackysack, and frisbee throwing. A new form of hackysack was seen this year. too. The players stood in a circle, as usual, keeping the little sack in the air, but to make things a bit more challenging, they taped cups of beer to their hands. The object was to keep the beer in the cup in addition to the sack in the air. Spring Fling was again an undisputed success, and as students moved the party back to the campus at the days end. the lead singer of High Tide said, with an air of impressed respect. Boy. the people at Millersvillc really know how to party. What better way to sum up a perfect day. ■ Student Life 17

Gordinier's new shop was This ornate sign announced the opening of the Sweet Shop this fall. It served to lure many passers-by Into the small confines of the shop. Photo by Kelly Apgar Oh, So Sweet by Kim Morris Have you ever found yourself coming to life about a half an hour before your first class? You barely have enough time to get a shower and get dressed but your stomach is threatening to disown you unless you feed it FAST! What can you do? There isn’t enough time to stand in a dining hall line and cat a sit-down meal. Traditionally, Millersvllle students have had to suffer from pangs of hunger if they didn't have time to eat in Qordinlcr or Lyle. During the fall semester, many students found the answer to their prayers In the ground floor lobby of Gordinier Dining Hall in the form of the new sweet shop. Just as God sent manna to the Egyptians in the desert, so He has sent the sweet shop to the students of Millersvllle. The sweet shop offered a variety of danishes. fresh fruit, juices, cookies, and milk. A quick sweet, satisfying snack could be purchased at the sweet shop with a university meal ticket between 9:15 and 10:30 a.m., Monday thru Friday. However, a meal ticket only covers $.60 worth of food if the student hasn’t already used it for breakfast. Any cost exceeding $.60 had to be paid in cash. Cash was also the only accepted currency after 10:30 a.m. What was it about the sweet shop that really made it the hit that it became? Michelle Wright, a freshman Business major, and Sabrina Davis, a freshman Biology major, found that the fresh brownies, donuts, and cookies were a definite plus on the Millersvllle campus. Anne Doyle, a freshman Psychology major, on the other hand felt that the ripe fresh fruit was a welcomed change from the half-ripened oranges in the dining halls. The general consensus of sweet shop regulars was that the convenience was the greatest advantage of this campus addition. Vicki Clem, a freshman, thought the sweet shop is a great idea because, if you miss breakfast, you can just grab something from the sweet shop to hold you over until lunch. If you’re wondering how improvements could possibly be made on this near-perfect entity, consider that John Roscoe, Director of Food Services, said the shop will be open on some Saturdays on special weekends and hours may increase, depending on customer demand. ■ Student Life 19
