After 34 years of serving burgers and fries to Boise State students and other locals, the College Drive-In closed its doors forever at 5 p.m. last Friday. Owner Bill Parsons opened the restaurant in June of 1971,when BSUwas a junior college and University Drive was College Boulevard. Across the street from the restaurant was a pas- ture, which is now BSU's engineering and technology building. The College Drive-In's famous Bronco Burger, now $2.39, at one time only cost 75 cents. "Alothas changed around here, n Parsons said. The only thing that has not changed is the yellow and green menu sign. It is the original from when the restaurant first opened. Parson signed papers on Thursday afternoon to sell the property to Boise State. He doesn't plan on re-opening at another location, and he believes that the College Drive- In will not remain a restaurant. "It's a hard thing to do, but I think it's time," Parsons said.

' intrigue surrounding mysterious and long-thought-dead Julian Carax, a crooked murdering police inspector, book burnings, and separated lovers, as we journey with Daniel from childhood to adulthood. We become familiar with Daniel's friends and father as the path leads to a shattering and equally mysterious conclusion. By the time the story ends, readers meet the author of the mysterious book, "The Shadow of the Wind," . the mystery surrounding his dis- appearance is solved, and the reason his book seems so sorrowful is imparted. Also, Daniel finally finds a girl that he truly loves with "-,all his heart. I found myself lost in the world of Daniel and the other characters as I read along, whisked off to the dark streets and turmoil of Barcelona that . many of the characters have to brave in order for the conclusion to be dramatic and fulfilling. While the story is a little hard to follow sometimes because of all the twists and turns that the story takes, I found that it was quite an enjoyable story. I would recommend this book for rea~ers who love to try and solve a mystery be~ore the characters do or one that leaves you wondenng what happens after'you're finished reading.
