If you are not ! *■ one of them, there are many things to >.£lo in and around College Station dur- ■-* mg spring break. C* * Watching movies is a good way to let your mind relax after midterm ex ams. A movie marathon can span a few days or nights. An example of this would be to rent all the films from' The Godfather trilogy and watch them in succession. This is a cheap and easy way to entertain yourself or a group of friends. For those who want to stay around their dorm or apartment, enhance your surroundings with a little spring cleaning. Spring break is the perfect opportunity to tackle all the cleaning jobs that get passed over from lack of time. After the cleaning is complet ed, it may be a good idea to rearrange the furniture or even redecorate. Try sprucing up white walls with cheery spring colors. Repainting will take up a majority of the week. Paint ing can also be a social occasion. If yours is the room that needs a paint job, order a pizza, call some friends and turn on the tunes. Make sure you lay down newspaper before you paint in case the fun gets out of control. After the decorating facelift is complete, the next step is to show off Out Thursdays uv The^ Battalion/ r -— 909 B Harvey Road^ 909 B Harvey Road Woodstone Center (Behind Coffee Station) College Station, Tx. 77840 695-1279 OFF 50# a potato Not valid with any other offer.

An easy way to do this is to throw a party and invite friends who are in town during the break. Parties are a good idea even if you have not redecorated. Lisa Miles, a senior French and English major, said she is going to have a party at her house during the break. “I’m going to throw a weeklong party at my house,” Miles said. "I think I’ll make it a Hawaiian theme party — get some singles — 'Temp tation Island’ singles, that is.” For the Martha Stewart wannabes, making different recipes for your parties is a good way to en tertain yourself and impress your friends. Since you have all day to cook, you can experiment until you have the perfect dish. For those who want a break from their apartment or dorm room, there are several outdoor activities in the Bryan-College Station area. There is more to this region than the area bounded by Texas Avenue, University Drive, Wellborn Road and George Bush Drive. Downtown Bryan is a great place to explore for its historic buildings andr HOUSTOI gift shops. lF dle scho ° Bryan and College St hearing hii many gardens.
