Students' plans for break vary
By MARIE PATRICOLA
Collegian Arts Writer
Spring break is finally here and
it is the perfect opportunity for
students to have that last blast of
fun before the crunch of finals
sneaks up. Some students use their
break to pursue the tropical islands
of the Atlantic while others take
the time to catch up on a backlog of
work.
Emory Wooll, a travel consultant
at Accent on Travel, 444 E. College
Ave., said the hot spot for students
this year is Cancun.
"The most packages we sold
were to Cancun," he said. "We have
around 100 students going there.
But people do go just about every
where Orlando also seems to be
a popular place this year."
Maggie Whitmer, a travel agent
at Carlson Travel Network, 2603 E.
College Ave., agreed that Cancun
was the biggest spring break
Students prepare to

With the beginning of spring break hours
away, students and businesses are making last
minute preparations for their week of fun.
Because many students head to the beaches,
they work out in gyms and go to tanning beds
to look their best.
The Downtown Swim & Fitness Club, located
in Days Inn Penn State, 240 S. Pugh St., is expe
riencing more business with spring break
approaching, said Danielle Rubin, gym supervi
sor.
"The gym gets more crowded, memberships
go up, and students start coming more fre
quently," she said.
The East Coast Health & Fitness, 236 W.

Sales people from America
Advertising have some students
and salons frowning in Happy Val
ley as their hair salon promotion
has resulted in one arrest and
many complaints.
One salesman, John Richard Var
gas of Chicago, was trying Monday
to sell hair salon services in Runk
le Hall, University Police Services
said. He was issued a citation for
criminal trespass and - placed in
Centre County Prison in lieu of
$250 bail.
Cyndi Freeman-Fail, coordinator
of residence life for North Halls,
said there are signs that forbid
soliciting and trespassing hung
prominently in the dorms.
Freeman-Fail said the American
Advertising situation is being han
dled by quick police response and
by students telling their resident
assistants.
(except wednesdays and saturdays)
attraction for students this year.
"Cancun was the biggest and the
Bahamas was the second most pop
ular," she said. "They all want to go
somewhere warm and sunny that
has bars."
However, some people will not
be enjoying the warm sun.
Amy Appleton (senior-political
science) will not be leaving State
College this year for spring break
because she has to work on her the
sis. But, she said, she is not too dis
appointed about staying.
"I have too much work to do tc
think about it or be disappointed,"
she said.
Daniel S. Morrison (senior-biolo
gy), a cheerleader at the Universi
ty, also has plans other than visit
ing tropical islands for his break.
"I am fortunate enough to be
able to cheer on our Lady Lion bas
ketball team at the second Big Ten
tournament out in Indiana," he
said.
increase of patrons, said Assistant Manager
Andrew Perkins.
"The increase is more towards New Year's
resolutions people, but we have a lot of students
that are members. Students want to look good
before they hit the beach," he said.
Michael Attwood (junior-engineering), who is
going to Daytona, Fla., for break, said he has
seen a slight increase in students working out,
which forces him to go work out at different
times.
"I set up a different schedule to miss the
crowds," he said.
But at Gold's Gym, 131 S. Pugh St., the tan
ning beds have attracted more business, said
Filomena Malvone, a clerical worker.
"We've gone from barely any to completely
booked," she said.
The increase starts in mid-February, and
And that is just what the group
of students in Runkle Hall did.
Laura Donelson (freshman-biolo
gy), Brooke Wilson (freshman-divi
sion of undergraduate studies) and
Kara Freeburg (freshman-division
of undergraduate studies) called
University police when Vargas
entered Runkle Hall unescorted.
Wilson said that after a brief
knock on the door, she turned and
saw a man she did not know. She
said she was startled because she
thought it was one of her friends.
Donelson said that when the
salesman walked into the room, he
made himself at home, paid them
compliments and talked to them as
if he was a friend.
"He acted like Mr. Smoothie the
Salesman," she said.
The reason for calling the cops,
they said, was because of a recent
sexual assault that occurred near
their dormitory.
"It was soMe unknown male
roaming. He could've had a knife.
"They all want to go to
somewhere warm and
sunny that has bars."

Many students have not made
any plans at all and have decided to
use this break to catch up with
family and old friends, and to enjoy
the great spring weather.
"I am going home on spring
break to see my family and my
girlfriend," said Tom Bux (junior
elementary education). "I haven't
been home all semester and am
looking forward to going there. I
also want to pick up my golf clubs
because the nice weather is coming
up and I want to take advantage of
it."
look good for break
He could have had anything," Free
burg said.
These types of tactics have
caused alarm in some sponsors.
Beth Rockey, owner of Maneline
Salon Systems, 329 E. Calder Way,
said she wishes she would never
have used America Advertising as
a sales booster.
"They are representing us in an
extremely obnoxious way," she
said.
Anna Wasdyke (junior-adminis
tration of justice) said she was
approached by America Advertis
ing salespeople four separate
times.
Two occurred within a half-hour
of each other by the same sales
man.
"They were very annoying and
very pushy," she said.
America Advertising was
unavailable for comment.
Rockey said America Advertis
ing promotes salons by randomly
offering people 10 salon services

Students involved in Campus
Crusade for Christ, 817 S. Pugh St.,
will be heading for a national con
ference held annually at Daytona
Beach, Fla.
Ben Ehrhart (senior-environmen
tal resource management) said stu
dents from many different schools,
including Michigan State Universi
ty and Purdue University, will be
attending this event.
"It's an evangelistic conference,"
he said. "There will be speakers
throughout the week. In the morn
ing we go to the beach and town to
share the Gospel with the people.
Afterwards, we have fun."
Ehrhart added that a total of 60
students from a variety of schools
will be attending this event.
Brandon Ellis (sophomore-bio
chemistry and molecular biology)
said the conference was a lot of fun
in the past and that he would like to
go, but was unable to attend this
year.
drops off after spring break, she said.
Nittany Hot Springs, 511 E. Calder Way, has
also had an increase of four times its regular
customers, said Rob Ehrig, shift manager. The
shop has tanning specials to entice students to
tan there, he said.
Billy Blade, owner of Billy Blades tanning
salon, 212 S. Allen St., has seen a 100-percent
increase at his shop since mid-February.
Alison Young (freshman-division of under
graduate studies) said she tans periodically dur
ing the year and is tanning now before spring
break.
"I feel better when I'm darker," she said.
But some students get the tan look with
lotions instead of tanning beds. Holly Segear
(junior-international politics) is also going to
Daytona, Fla., for spring break. She said she
uses lotions rather than going to a tanning bed.
that would normally cost about
WS. The price, she said, is cut to
$39.99 with a time limit of four
months for the customer to get
them done.
The catch, Rockey said, is that
the salon does not get any of this
money.
Instead, America Advertising
keeps it and the salon provides the
services for free and hopes the
new customers brought in by
American Advertising will return
as paying customers.
Colleen Gramley, manager of
Images 111, 220 W. College Ave.,
said, "It's the best way to do adver
tisement."
But another problem Rockey has
found is salespeople of America
Advertising were also promising
customers some services that were
not specified as part of the con
tract.
"If I would do all the things he
said, I'd lose a lot of money," she
said.
