Butler agrees with Purski that it is impossi- ble to get in shape in two or three weeks. The best thing to do if you want to tone up in weeks is to run a lot and eat healthy but even then there will be no drastic changes." Butler said.

They also gave out dozens of other prizes, including T-shirts and sweatshirts sporting the Uptown-Downtown logo. According to owner. Jeff Hobbie, the giveaway has become a traditional way to demonstrate his appreciation for his customers. "Il*s kind of a traditional giveaway party for all the patronage over the years," Hobbie said. Uptown- Downtown recently celebrated its 21st anniversary. On the same night, the newly renovated Stardust gave away a $200 cash prize to be used towards a student's spring break celebration. In addition, the Tanning Center, in celebration of its own 20th anniversary, will be giving away a spring break prize of $100 in cash next week. The BG News, through a sponsor, is giving away two spring break trips for two to C'ancun, Mexico. The winners will fly for free from Detroit to C'ancun and stay in quad occu- pancy beachfront hotel rooms. Two weeks ago. entry forms were randomly inserted into 100 papers every day. One winner. Scott Kruszynski. freshman telecommunications major, was selected from those 500 entries on Friday. Feb. 11. Unfortunately, because none of his friends were able to accom- pany him. he was unable to accept the prize. According to BG News advertising manager. Todd Wise, the main goal was to increase readership. Now that other free papers are available throughout campus, like USA Today and the Toledo Blade, there is concern that students will be using other publications as their news source. A second drawing for another trip to Cancun occurred on Friday. Feb. 18. 500 more entry forms were once again random- - ly inserted into copies of The BG News throughout campus.
