By Deanna Drain Everyday around lunchtime, hundreds of students flocked to the Whitten University Center. In hopes of filling their stomachs, students hurried to the UC. How- ever, on their way to the Food Court they were bom- barded left and right by solicitors in the Breezeway. Each solicitor armed their station with tons of clipboards, pens, and bright colored paper that would end up lying all around campus. Each table had its own product or ser- vice that it wanted to sell to students. A common interest shared by all college students was the lack of cash. Naturally, students were enticed by the flashy signs that spelled out anything for free. And of course, the way to every students, attention land stomach for that mattery was free food. Freshman Tannis Carpenter said, title a great way to meet people and just start up a conversation. From organizations on campus to credit card com- panies, there was always something for everyone in the Breezeway. Freshman Tammy Almeyda stated, tilt al- lows you to see the different things the University can offer you. It also gives you an opportunity to get in- volved? Sometimes students got so busy with studying and work that the Breezeway was the only way to stay con- nected to what was going on at the University. Need to call Mom and Dad? You could sign up for a phone card in the Breezeway and get a pair of FREE thkleysF too. Anything FREE attracted students who were low in the cash department. However, not everyone liked solicitors badgering him or her left and right. Will Williams, freshman, stated, ttltls a great way to explore interests, but it can be ob- noxious from time to time. 4 ox? i??xWx NM u, photo by Jennifer Diaz 6.070 financing! Get the Herald!

a :4 v mmissuu wWeMMW By Jen Dina Long ten-hour shifts from 10 pm to 8 am were not for everyone. Night security assistants found that $7.00 an hour was enough to take on this great responsibility, which included a week long training session during the fall semester. Security personnel had various duties in the dorms besides the obvious, which was checking each resi- dent in by sliding their Cane Card. They were also re- sponsible for checking in guests at all dorms. They helped Resident Assistants, answered phone calls, com- pleted activity logs for each night, and also assisted in emergencies. Security Assistant Keith Chambliss explained that the shifts he worked changed his sleeping habits so that he had itbecome a vampire? He also said that sleep was sacrificed even though you wind up getting homework done while youlre at work. When asked, Andi McDowell advised those interested in working night security, ttif you donit think you can stay awake and you wont be dedicated, dont do it. Every job has its good and bad sides. Night security was only for responsible people who were able to stay awake all night while still being able to function for class. photo by Jorge Galvez Strolling in late, junior Lauren Moyer checks in at the front desk with Se- curity Assistant Daimeone Smalls.
