students await magical ten days in Ft. Lauderdale By Jay Zech They're out there, probably foaming at the mouth in anticipation by now, just waiting for those magic ten days to arrive, "Spring Break." Who are they? They are those lucky students who are leaving the dismal Lock Haven weather behind and heading for the sunny beaches of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Junior Tama Gray can tell you how many minutes are left before she leaves. Senior Diane Byrne just says, "I'm psyched!" Their excitement is not that unusual for those Florida bound. Sunning, drinking, and the pursuit of the opposite sex are high on everybody's list. "I'm going to lay in the sun from sun-up until sun-down," says Junior Eric K. Hammaker. "Then I'm going to drink from sundown till sun-up." For a whole week? "I'll give it my best shot," Hammaker says. Sophomore Joe Crouse adds, "I'm fed up with Lock Haven. I'm going to Lauderdale and party for seven straight days." Tama was more sun oriented. " I want to get a great tan. Then come back to Lock Haven and wear a lot of white." Diane said about the group of Alpha Sigma Taus going, "All of us are unattached and we won't mind meeting some fellows. My personal preference in men is tall and dark, but that's not mandatory." Those going are hoping for adventures along the lines of the movie "Spring Break." But ex-Florida resident Dr. William Reich had a warning for those planning on raping and rioting: "Fort Lauderdale has a big jail." As of now Lock Haven won't be well represented at the wet T-shirt contests. The women going expressed quite energetically' a lack of school spirit and their modesty in this competition. A few even talked of a . lack of the physical requirements. Most of the trips, whether by car or plane,were financed by summer employ'ment or parental loans. Fun in the sun! Too bad the rest of us aren't going.

Ron Cummings of Lambda Ch: Alpha leaps for a ball during the 3rd Annual Lambda Chi Alpha 24-hour volleyball marathon Friday and Saturday, March 9 and 10. The Moby Dinks went undented and untied to win the tournament. Eberhart Construction took second place and the Mel-len Lounge captured third. The American Cancer Society and The Infant Development Center reaped the benefits of over $600 in donations. "We will consider rebidding the contract but not under the conditions existing in the present contract," said Enoche Powell, Williamsport Area Manager for Macke. Powell declined to comment on the reason for Macke's decision not to renew the contract. According to Interdonato, the SCC will draw up new bids that will be sent to all prospective vending companies. "We are sending out new bids just like we did when the decision was first made to lease the snack bar," said Interdonato. "Macke is more than welcome to bid on the new contract." Interdonato feels that there are several things in the contract that do not satisfy Macke including the 8% fixed revenue the SCC receives from Macke's profits. "Macke can't deal with the 8% stipulation in the contract," said Interdonato. "Their operating expenses are too high," continued Interdonato, "and they don't like to be told what hours they must keep. We have control over their hours and thex feel there is not enough business on weekends to stay open as long as the contract states." "Macke has painted a pretty crummy picture for other companies who might be interested in leasing out the Snack Bar," said Interdonato. According to Interdonato, new contract bids should go out as soon as possible in order to assure that the Snack Bar is open for the summer. Wayne Clickner, consultant for the State System of Higher Education, doesn't see a need to have the snack bar open during the summer. " I think we have to provide a service to the students going to school here in the summer," said Interdonato. " I would like to have a new operator of the snack bar move in as soon as Macke's contract runs out." "I'm going to do everything to see that the snack bar stays open in the summer," said Interdonato.
