Boward Unirersity: • A Feast for the Mind, the Body and the Soul rJnlkMetUl,... tk 1998 (J~£:~

Howard University offers so many choices. Opportunities for the mind to be challenged, enlightened, and expanded. Opportunities for the body to be shaped, molded, and explored. A $ brilliant tapestry of clubs, groups, and assemblies overwhelm and define one's "Howard Experience". Without the regal and majestic existence of our fraternal organi z.acions or the elegant and gracious presence of our beloved sororities, Howard would lack a special ingredient. lfScacescouldn'c "represent" wha t makes their locality unique what would HU be like? If the UGSA or the GSA didn't present before many educational and entertaining programs, one could not even imagine the state of student life at our cherished Mecca. The Capstone would lack a Howard University: particular and necessary heroic and dramatic activism if HUSA never existed. Just attempt to envision a Howard gathering or freshmen orientation without the crazy antics and friendly AFeastfor dis!X}sition of the Campus Pals. From the Bison to the Hilliop, where would our university be without the thought provoking commentaries and mentally enriching stories in the Hilltop or the Mind, the Body, imagine never being able to witness the photographic \~izardry and real time autobiographical and the Soul! sketch that is our Bison. Thankfully we don't have to imagine a University void of these vital additions to academics, because we art! at Howard University. And at HU the menu is ... evef)1thing!

Howard University is unlike any other university in the world. The people, the eane~aa~, ~e~temoer~rn atmosphere, and the experience, not only build character, detem1inacion, and dignity, but also build compassion for others, empathy and understanding, and a sense of togetherness lx:rween each member of the extended Howard Family. One cannot visit this campus and not leave forever changed. One cannot ignore the sights, sounds and feeling that is our beloved alma ~lac~Ourn UnWer~i Center mater.

So, as you can surdy see the restaurant is open for business! We provide the entrees, table, and, in some cases, even pick up the check! However it is up to YOUro feast on the many delicacies and offerings we've placed on your plate. Aba lanced diet of education, enrichment, H and enlightenment! Prepare to feed your mind, your body and your soul on ALLthat Howard has co offer. 'Cause on the HU menu ... everything! Bon Appetite!
