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

A URI Landmark: The Chicken Lady ' s Mailbox T here ' s a family that lives on Route 138 that has a very special place in the URI communi- ty. But it ' s no ordinary family. It ' s a family of plastic Rhode Island Red Chickens perched on a mailbox that has been delighting passers-by for the past 21 years. Their keeper, Antoinetta Good- win, affectionately known as The Chicken Lady, takes great pleasure displaying the chickens dressed in outfits she makes herself. Each new season, holiday, or other event brings out a new wardrobe for the chickens: the start of the football season, the wedding of URI students she has befriended or any other occur- rence pertaining to URI or the Kingston area. Mrs. Goodwin started deco- rating the mailbox in October 1961 with her brother. 24 Chicken Lady
