Curtis, a fourth semester
engineering major.
Travelling with friends seems to
be a familiar theme.
Dave Hardnock, a second
semester accounting major, says
that he's going to Panama City
because "all my fraternity brothers
are going."
Other students have made plans
in areas other than Florida.
Christy Dove. a second semester
special education major, is heading
for the Virgin Islands.
"I decided to go to the Virgin
Islands because my parents wanted
me to go with them," Dove said.
Many students arc going to
Panama City for Spring Break.
This may have to do with SGA
offering a package to go to
Panama.

plans on camping in Tionesta to
get some "rest and relaxation."
Stickle would also like to travel to
Australia someday because of "the
weather and the different way of
life."
Although students have their
own opinions of the hot spots,
Jill Pacy from Broz Travel 'n'
Trips says that one of the most
popular packages she's sold is to
Orlando.
She also offers this advice to
students. "Have your plans set far
in advance and know exactly how
much money you want to spend."
Carla Wilson, an agent from
Capabianca Travel, agrees with
Pacy to have everything planned.
"Get everything arranged--airfare,
hotel accommodations, transpor

Tina Olcski from Atlas Travel
