Outside Gainesville: Getting Away So what do you do when there is just nothing to do in Gainesville? The were endless, since Gainesville was located in the middle of a state packed with new and interesting things to do. Located just one and a half hours from town, either east or west, were beaches to enjoy. The Gator Outdoor Recreation Program planned trips for students to the Nantahala and Ocoee Rivers in North Carolina. In spring, they took students skiing to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Three hours to the south-east was Cape Canaveral, home of the Kennedy Space Center where the space shuttle took off. Walt Disney World, Epcot Center, Sea World, Cypress Gardens and other tourist attractions provided days of fun for many students. — Parveen Wagner 1) Space Shuttle Discovery lifts off from Pad 39A at 2:50 p.m. on its first dedicated Department of Defense mission.

Getting Onto Campus: It ' s More Fun With Scotty It was Monday morning, you woke up late and consequently got the spot in the far back corner of the student parking lot. You had this feeling deep down that this wasn ' t going to be one of your best days. Just as you were ready to give up and blow off the whole day, the Hub-Frat bus pulled up and you climbed aboard. After digging for correct change you saw the first bright spot of the day, Scotty Knight, a five-year veteran of the Hub-Frat route. After seeing Scotty ' s bright smile as he greeted you with a cheery good morning you felt the day might just work out. This was a daily experience for many of the students at CIF, said one student, It was good to see at least one smiling face before first period. The Hub-Frat bus traveled from the Commuter Lot to GAP, from the Hub to Frat Row which saved students from a long walk in the cold or rain. All this and Scotty ' s uplifting personality for just 10 cents! The bus ran on a twenty-minute cycle, offering only a short wait between trips. So you didn ' t have to be put off by a long line or large crowd on the bus because it would always be back soon. For a break in your day and an impressive ride to the commuter lot from busy areas on campus, students jumped on the Hub-Frat bus and said, ' hey ' to Scotty. 1) The commuter parking lot stays full all day. 2) Students wind up and down the aisles in hopes of finding a space. 3) Scotty gives riders a cheery smile. 1) P.
