I like to go to a party where all my friends are, drink and shoot the breeze. It’s fun to hang out in Isla Vista and ride your bike around. Ambi Harsha, Dramatic Arts, Graduate Student If there is a volleyball game or basketball game I will be there. Sports is my first love. If friends are there fine, but if they don’t know the sport I’d rather be alone. I would prefer a quiet party to an ^ I.V. party. I enjoy die talking C parties rather than the dancing B ones. Rossana Petrilli, Un­ declared, Freshman I like spending Fridays with friends, just getting together and talking. Socializing around the dorms, dancing and partying is fun. I also love going to downtown Santa Barbara when I can get a ride. If I went there I would go to a restaurant with music.

Twenty seven years later, Daniel Peters introduced milk chocolate to the world when he added concentrated milk to the sweet chocolate. This traditional taste treat has become the most popular among chocolate lovers. Immediately following Peters, Rodolph Lindt developed the exact method to create the smooth texture now found in the finest of chocolates. There are many grades and varieties of cocoa beans, each producing a different chocolate type and taste.
