ide to the ultimate
Doug and Shannon lounge on Rudder Beach. Life doesn’t get mucl
By MARY COX
Staff Writer
I have decided to compose a
tour guide of the Texas A&M
campus for those who were stay
ing here over Spring Break with
nothing to do — something no
one has ever dared. This guide
could be the ticket to the fun that
few people realize awaits them.
What a wealth of entertainment
dwells here! A proverbial fountain
of fun just waiting to be explored!
For those of you who have just
raided your freezer for the last of
the Girl Scout Cookies while sit
ting at home dreaming of the
snow-capped Rocky Mountains,
the First part of this tour is for
you. Don’t put your ski equipment
up yet! There’s one mountain that
you’ve yet to conquer — Mt. Ag
gie. Don’t laugh. This treacherous
slope is a black diamond on any
skier’s map. Why do you think
those haystacks are at the bottom?
Yea, what slopes have you seen in
Colorado with haystacks lining the
bottom? 1 rest my case. Mt. Aggie
looms over the south end of cam
pus as an earthly challenge for all
who dare.
After a hard day on the slopes,
what could be more relaxing than
a dip in a pool? Pepperdine has
nothing on us. Mountains on one
side and the tropical Rudder
Fountain on the other. Slip out of
your favorite ski bibs and into
our string bikini. Rudder Beach
eacons the most savage of all tan-
ners.The cement ledge offers op
timum tanning benefits to even
the palest of scholars. Don’t waste
your money at the local tanning
bed boutiques! Rudder Beach pro
vides maximum solar rays. The
sparkling waters ripping against
the tanning ledge of Rudder
Beach flow from natural springs.
This water is not deep because it is
so precious, so bring your dog
along so he can enjoy this oppor
tunity to bask in nature’s glory.
After such physical exertion, a
body becomes ravenous. That’s no
problem at the Snack Bar a la
TAMU. Hot dogs, popcorn, day-

When it’s too dam hot, they take a dip in the surf. High tide isn’t really
