Now everyone knows that B-CS is the utopian mecca of spring break paradise. The Battalion’s very own Damon Arhos spent spring break ’89 in Aggieland and loved every second of it. Here’s his account. Take it away, Damon. Satire By DAMON ARHOS Of The Battalion Staff Tired of hearing everyone talking about going to South Padre Is land for spring break? Do you cringe every time you hear the words Cancun, Cozumel or Ixtapa? Are your friends spending their spring breaks skiing? Swimming? Sunning? Scamming? And you still don't have any plans? Well, take my advice. The place to be for spring break 1990 is right here in the cradle of camaraderie, the middle of madness, the founda tion for fiestas, that crazy, kooky party paradise: BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS!!! And if you think South Padre is the place to be this spring break, just take a look at my fun-filled, flamboyant and fla- vorful photos from B-CS Spring Break 1989! Flavorful Photo Number One: Bryan Utilities Lake. People from all over the state and country came just to enjoy the surf, sand and sun at Bryan Utilities Lake. Known worldwide for its popularity, Bryan Utilities Lake offered my friends and me a plethora of spring break pleasures. And as for those swans, they should be fully recovered by the time this year’s festi vities begin. We can all learn from their experience! Remember: Know when to say when. Flamboyant Photo Number Two: Kissing the parking stone. Re member the legend of Ireland’s Blarney Stone? It’s pretty hard to get to, but if you can reach it and can kiss it, you’ll have good luck for the rest of your life. Well, our very own North Side Parking Garage has a parking stone! It’s pretty hard to reach, but once you kiss it — you’ll nave parking luck for the rest of your college career! Fun-filled Photo Number Three: Skydiving from the top of Albrit ton Bell Tower. What an exhilarating feeling flying high above the A&M campus. And the view from up there was incredible! Albritton skydiving is only offered during spring break, and it’s a B-CS exclusive. Flirtatious Photo Number Four: Refreshments on the quad. Who needs a beach when you can run down to the nearest department store and pick your very own plastic baby pool colorfully decorated with blue and green dinosaurs! Kiss the sand and tar goodbye and say hello to the lap of luxury. (Don’t forget the lemonade and your arm floaties!) Finally, Photo Number Five: Recovery. After spending nine fun- filled and exciting days partying in that spring break sanctuary — Bryan-College Station, you’ll be ready to recover before you start back to reality. That’s when you can grab the old hammock (like I did) and snooze away in the building of your choice! Sleep in a classroom — snore, drool — let it all hang out! After all, it’s B-CS spring break ’90. So if your bank account is lacking and all the reservation books are full anyway, don’t worry. Everyone who’s anyone will be in Bryan-Col lege Station for spring break ’90!
