The Rollins Sandspur. 1903. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/cfm-sandspur/1903 GABBY CHASSAGNE the sandspur A tragic accident occurred Feb 24 in Orlando at Sea World's Shamu Stadium. Tilikum the Orca Whale dragged veter­ an trainer Dawn Brancheau down to the bottom of his makeshift enclosure. This was not the first time Tilikum has been responsible for the death of a person. Reporter Mike Holfeld died from an attack in 1999 as did a 20 year old trainer who had fallen into his tank in 1999. The audience watched on in utter horror. Some witnesses say Ti­ likum came to the surface and attacked Brancheau, while other reports claim she slipped into the tank. "Nothing like this has ever occurred before in our facility/' said President of Sea World Dan Brown.

One more week and it will be here: SPRING BREAK 2010! Everyone is counting down the days until it is tune to take a week's vacation from school—a much-needed break from the stresses and hard work that are life as a college student. For years, spring break has been the stuff of legend for college kids, who have built up stories and memories they will never forget. In all those movies and stories about college, spring break means the beach, sun, fun, and often, Cancun. Many Rollins students will be donning their bathing suits and making a run for the beach, while others are going home to visit friends and family, or heading to colder climates to visit friends at other colleges. Many groups of students are heading up to the Florida panhandle, just far enough to get away from campus and to the beach, but also close enough so that it is a manageable trip. There are several options on the Panhandle, with two big destinations—Panama City and Pensacola. Panama City is sure to be crawling with college kids, as most colleges in Florida, GEORGI GEORGIEV /the including UF and USF, have spring break during the same MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO: Students enjoy a scenic boat ride in Costa Rica with a most interesting choice of a toy week as Rollins. Panama City offers many cheap hotels and places to eat, while lying on the beach is the number one activity of students who flock to the beach town for spring break. Pensacola, however, is a bit farther of a drive, and probably will not have as many college kids and crazy parties as Panama City during spring break week. Some students who are from Florida are going home to spend time with their families and friends from high school. Morgan Williams (Class of 2013) is killing two birds with one stone by going home to Jacksonville to visit family, but is also bringing some friends from Rollins, who plan to ^pend the majority of their spring break lying out and relaxing on the beach. Some adventurous students are heading out of the country. A popular destination is the British Virgin Islands, where several groups are heading, either to stay in hotels or to go boating around the islands. Another idea entertained by some students is taking a weeklong cruise with friends. What could be better than having a great time on a boat with good friends for a week in the Caribbean? Some first year students will be heading to the Florida Keys, and another group of students will be staying at an exclusive resort in the Bahamas. There are countless options, so ultimately, the choice is yours, Rollins. Make spring break what rcnHn CFORGIEV /«^ you want it to be. I'M ON A BOAT...SORT OF: Jet skiing on the clear blue waters in nearby Miami is another option for Rollins spring breakers* Jandspur LIFE & TIMES February 26, 2010

March 8-12, Rollins students will enjoy spring break during the same week as close to 1,300,000 other students from universities all over the United States such as UF, TSU, and Penn State. Book a trip as soon as possible, as rates go up daily. Here are some spring break ideas to consider:

All-Inclusive resorts in the Caribbean: There are great all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean such as Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and Cancun in Mexico. Weeklong trips cost around $900. These are probably the best "bang for the buck" deals considering that the price includes flights, room, board and even alcoholic drinks.

Skiing: Looking for snowy fun? If so, try: Crested Butte (voted the best Colorado ski resort for college aged folks), Aspen, Colorado or Heavenly Valley in Nevada. Do not forget that our northern neighbor also offers some great spring break- friendly ski resorts such as Whistler Blackcomb in Canada.

GEORGI GEORGIEV / the sandspur Cruises: Cruises are always BEACH BUMS: Some avid beach goers play soccer on Tamarindo Beach in Costa Rica. one of the cheapest options to consider. Caribbean itinerary prices start from $300 to $600 for a weeklong cruise. Book soon, for cruises sell fast during spring break.

Backpacking Trips: Europe is always worth traveling to despite the long flights. Some spring break hot spots such as Amsterdam, London and Paris are the cities most popular among American students, followed by Rome, Florence, Madrid and Berlin. Airfare currently goes for roughly $600 round trip. Try hostels to save money on housing while meeting other student travelers.

Florida: Why not crash at a friend's house in Miami Beach or hit the top spring break spots such as Panama City or Key West? Trips in Florida can be easily done last minute and Florida cities are packed with tons of spring breakers who come from other states to enjoy the Florida sun.

Immersion trips in Costa Rica: How about a weeklong Spanish cultural immersion program with surfing lessons in Tamarindo, Costa Rica? For popular alternative spring break trips, check out coastalspanish. com or studyspanishcenter.com.
