How we’ll spend our summer “vacations”

---

Summers here, which means its time to take it easy. Yeah, right. Most of the students we collared on the Walk and in the dining halls had working vacations already lined up for this summer, and a few who didnt were so embarrassed that they didnt want us to use their answers. We did manage, though, to find a few people who plan to get some recreation and relaxation this summer.
