Those Late-Night Cravings cuisine, the smell of the grease, the burning sensation of the hot cheese against the roof of your mouth; you can ' t take it anymore! You leave your car with a hefty kick and start your journey on foot. The cold rain is now snow and there is mud everywhere. But that doesn ' t stop you. The wind has picked up, you know this to be true because a dog just went by . . . airborn. But this still can ' t keep down that munchie drive, you fight the elements the entire way until way off on the horizon you see the glimmering neon light which has brought you to this vision of sanctuary. The storm has now become a blinding rage. You approach the door and crawl into the warm friendly place, a prisoner of your own desires. Then you see it. It ' s beautiful! The soft flowing curves, the tantalizing aroma, you sink your teeth into this pro- duct of your desires and realize that you ' ve had your fix. ' en n, John Tuccillo What?? Die Munchies 21

Midnight Munchies Satisfying You ' re sitting in your room minding your own business when suddenly your neighbor bursts into the room screaming that there are only seconds left before the last pizza delivery to URI. You fly from your chair with blinding speed to the nearest telephone to make your order for that product of fine cuisine. The phone rings once, then twice, and once again, then a friendly voice answers with a charming greeting. You attempts to make your order only to find that the deliveries have ended only seconds ago. You place the order anyway, knowing that somehow, some way your mun- chie drive will get you to that fine eating establishment known as a pizza joint. You bolt to your car through the freezing rain, slipping and sliding the entire way and, hor- 1 rors of horrors, the car won ' t start! You can practically taste that tantalizing morsel of fine 20 Munchies

GOING, Going, Gone | QQO may well be remembered as the -L y O 3 year “the bubble burst — twice. The eight-year-old Bubble covering the track in the Keaney Complex collapsed the first weekend of the Spring semester because of accumulated snow and ice on the Bubble ' s skin which caused it to tear. Temporary repairs totalling about $30,000 got under way soon afterward, and the Bub- ble, which was to have had a life expectancy of only eight years, slowly began to reinflate. When fully inflated, work began inside the bubble to repair the cedar track which officials said tends to warp if it gets wet. Before the work was completed and the Bubble reopened, however, it collapsed a se- cond time, also due to inclement weather. This time, officials were uncertain about the future of the structure and said it was doubtful the Bubble would be open before summer recess. In the meantime, the University is consider- ing the feasibility of repairing the Bubble or of building another facility, such as a fieldhouse. ■ones Lisa Bachhuber 22 Bubble
