By March 1, students haven't had a prolonged break since Christmas or a dark tan since August. The university owes them time off; it's a basic civil liberty.

The thought of carrying a 70-pound pack up and down a mountainous trail discourages many would-be hikers. No one likes lower back trouble or cold, canned beans -- not even in the great outdoors. But modern technology has revolutionized the sport. Thousands of new· products designed for outdoorsmen are flooding the rapidly growing market. They have made backpacking more enjoyable. They also have made the costs much higher. Without a certain amount of planning, an enjoyable outing can become a miserable and expensive fiasco. Pack the equipment you need'and nothing else. Every ounce counts when •you carry it on your back. Beginners should rent before buying anything. The mountains are not for everyone. Often a person's first trip is his last, leaving a closet full of costly gear. Many rental stores and sporting goods shops have package deals on everything that's needed. Compare prices and products when buying equipment. Many catalogues have extensive selections. A few of them are: LL. Bean (Freeport, Maine 04033), Eastern Mountain Sports (Vose Farm Road, Peterborough, New Hamp shire 03458), REI (P.O. Box C-88125 Seattle, Washington 98188) and Early Winters (110 Prefontaine Place South, Seattle, Washington 98104). Hiking requires good boots which should be broken in before the first day on the trail. Jean Cashin, information specialist for the Appalachian Trail Conference, said most of the people who give up before hiking 100 miles, do so because of blisters and shin splints. She said most people don't realize how demanding the sport is. She recom mends buying equipment well ahead of time and going on short hikes with a full load. This breaks in the equipment and conditions the hiker. Boots should be light and easy to waterproof. They should be tight enough so your feet, with two pairs of socks, don't slide in them when walking up a steep hill. High top tennis shoes can also be used for short trips. Backpacks come in two designs -- internal and external ·frames. Internal . · frame packs are a little more comfortable, external ones carry a bigger load. It's up to the individual. A sleeping bag must be light and compressible. They are made for certain temperature ranges so make sure you get the right one. Stay away from goose down filling. It's warm unless it gets wet, which it will if you are out for very many days. -Synthetic filling is better.

Roughly 100 people each year travel the entire 2,100 miles, but ~ny others hike only sections at a time, or go out for just a day.

If you like to read, take a book. And, even though you could probably do without it, no real backpacker goes out without his Swiss army knife. Most backpackers don't bother with building fires.

It should be packed in Tupperware or in FREE FREE zip-lock bags. Most hikers prefer instant cereals, dried fruits, crackers, instant soups, pop-tarts, granola bars, Vienna sausages, sardines, cheese, peanut butter and freeze-dried dinners. The traditional image of campers gnawing on dried, salted beef is passe. You don't have to eat beef jerky unless you like it. All water should be considered unsafe for drinking unless it's known to be good. It should be treated chemically or boiled before it is consumed. Most hikers "camel up" when they reach a good water source. It's a good idea to bring a long piece of cord to hang your backpack from a tree limb at night. This keeps unfriendlies out of your food.

Harold Allen, hiker. Act like a hiker when you're on the trail. There are certain ethics that should be honored. Don't litter. People go backpacking because they love nature, so leave things looking natural. Clean up all your trash and any left behind by someone else. Burn what you can't take with you. Use wood that is already down for fires. Don't cut down trees or pick rare wildflowers. Don't set up camp too close to trails, roads or recreation areas. Leave no trace of a fire. Cover it with dirt and do the same for human waste. Carry water from streams to wash anything, including yourself. Other peo- ple may want to get drinking water from the same stream. Use common sense. If an area is marked "closed," take another route. 10 Monday, Feb. 27, 1984 break away 84 CONVENIEN7 • · Sandwich Specials at · Frank's San~wich Shop - CARRY-OUT A Make Jim.ho's your first sto1 Cold Keg of Beer with Dlspe ------~I Free Ice with coupon I and purchase during SpringFest.1 1301 31 I I 522-· i break away 84 Monday, Feb. 27, 1984 11 ..,.,, I I !

Trip tips n addition to making sure your car is in top shape and carrying a survival I kit, several important tips can make your trip safer and more enjoyable. However simple it seems, buckling your seat belt may increase your chances of survival in the event of an accident. " Spring break is a time to relax, forget the pressures of college, Stern said. "There are going to be thousands of students on the highways. Of those thousands, several of them will have accidents. Some aren't going to come back because they will die in an auto accident. The probable cause of their dying will be the failure to wear a seat belt. "If you choose not to wear a seat belt, how do you know you're not going to have an accident? Your best chances of surviving are if you wear a seat belt, Stern said ." A couple of ways to stay alert while traveling are to plan stops every couple of hours and switch drivers every hour or two. Avoiding rush hours and congested areas can only enhance your trip. Nobody wants to spend spring break in a traffic jam. Observing the speed limit not only will keep you from getting a ticket but will improve your gas mileage. U.S. Department of Energy figures show that if you were traveling the same distance at 55 mph and 70 mph, you would get 20 percent more miles per gallon traveling 55 mph. That is a savings of four gallons in every 20 gallons. Stern had a word of advice if you're planning on drinking and driving: Don't. In any of the eight states (Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia) you might travel through on the way to Florida, all have strict laws governing driving while drinking. These states have an " Implied Consent" law which says that anyone who operates a motor vehicle in that state consents to take a chemical test if arrested for DWI (Drinking Under the Influence). Refusal to take this test will result in a suspension of your driver's license from three to six months. You may also be fined and jailed if later found guilty of DWI.

One way to get around the booked Florida flights of March 8-10 and March 16-18 is to leave in mid-week around March 12 or 13, Ward said . The good side to leaving later is that you may get to the beach. The bad side is that you may only get to stay a couple of days or if you stay an entire week you may miss classes (which to some may not seem so bad.)
