TOP TEN LIST: SPRING BREAK STYLE!
(In no particular order)

Don’t let the last couple days fool you – the warm weather won’t be sticking around. This weekend the temperature will be in the low to mid 40s, with possible showers. Put on some raincoats and go dancing in the rain! But be careful not to get sick.

The Fighting Illini Men’s Basketball team is in action! The Illini will face Virginia Tech in the First Round this Friday. It will be broadcast live on CBS. Show the team your support!

Into concerts? Then what better way to celebrate the start of Spring Break than with MercyMe, Audio Adrenaline and Aaron Shust? These artists will perform at Assembly Hall on the first Sunday of break. It starts at 7 p.m., and tickets are available online at www.uofiassemblyhall.com.

The world was a very different place in the middle of the 20th Century… if you want to find out how teens behaved back then, come visit the Miss and Mister Manners: Mid-Century Etiquette and Hygiene exhibit at the Marshall Gallery in the Main Library. Questions? Contact Nancy at npobrien@uiuc.edu.

Do you like watching live bands? Come see Chicago band Baby Teeth play at the Cowboy Monkey Friday night at 10 p.m. It’s located at 6 Taylor Street in downtown Champaign.

Are you an early bird? If you don’t mind waking up when most people are still sleeping, why don’t you try some morning yoga? CRCE offers hour-long yoga classes on Friday mornings starting at 7 a.m. Just show up in the Multipurpose Room 2 with a Fitness pass.

As winter turns to spring, you might want to consider going ice skating this weekend. On Saturdays and Sundays from 1:30-4 p.m., the UI Ice Arena opens its rink to anyone who wants to skate. It’s free for U of I students, so what are you waiting for?

Watch the ICC Cricket World Cup this weekend with other Cricket fans! Show up at the Illini Union (Rec Room and Courtyard) for free fellowship. It’s England versus New Zealand on Friday at 11:30 a.m., India versus Bangladesh on Saturday at 2 p.m., Australia versus Netherlands on Sunday at 2 p.m., and India versus Bermuda on Monday at 11:30 a.m. Show up for one or show up for all.

Of course Spring Break means rest and relaxation. But for those of you looking to get cultured, stop by the Main Hallway of the Main Library to look through a collection of art. If you have any questions or comments, contact Oscar at oscarv@uiuc.edu.

Are you up for some bowling? How about Cosmic Bowling? On Sunday afternoon, bring out your family and friends to knock down some pins and show your skill on the lane. This event takes place from 2-5 p.m. in the Illini Union Rec Room.
