If you're looking for a favorite hang-out to fulfill those cravings of chocolate sundaes and cookeo mix-ins, you'll have plenty to choose from. Just take a stroll down South University or State St. and inevitably you'll run into an ice cream oasis calling your name. Each place has a different atmosphere welcoming connoisseurs, ranging from the traditional soda fountain addicts to the more modern day mix-in fanatics. With an entire year ahead, there should be time to grab your friends and try out all the ice cream shops until you find your favorite. Baskin Robbins: Although lacking the comfortable atmosphere of the Beacon Street Creamery or the creativity of Steve's Ice Cream, Baskin Robbins makes up for this with a consistent and delicious variety of ice cream, floats, and shakes. Conveniently located on the corner of South and East University, next to Ulrich's bookstore, Baskin Robbins and its 31-derful flavors has remained a favorite of U students. (1101 South University). Beacon Street Creamery: In an ice- cream-rich market, Ann Arbor's ice- cream parlors resort to special at- tractions. Some offer mix-ins, others 31 flavors. The Beacon Street Creamery is known for its huge waf- fle-cones, to hold daily-made 16 flavors. (South University and Chur- ch). Jasons: Frozen yogurt and tofutti fortable inside and outside dining area provide a great place to enjoy and watch the different people that this eatery presents. (330 S. Main). Mrs. Peabody's: Mrs. Peabody's cookies are sure to go straight to your heart (if not your thighs). The delec- table edibles come in seven varieties: conventional chocolate chip, white chocolate chunk, fudgy chocolate, fudgy chocolate with white chocolate chunks, chocolate chip with nuts, coconut macadamian, and oatmeal raising. Yum. The cookies are fresh- baked several times a day and are the perfect little pick-me-up while on route to class in the nearby Modern Languages Building. Starting this fall they will be making their own ice cream. (715 N. University). Steve's Ice Cream: Undoubtedly the collegiate hang-out. Once gain, it was voted the Best of Ann Arbor in the Michigan Daily. Mix-ins are the at- traction here along with homemade ice cream that changes flavors daily. A customer can choose from a variety of mix-ins such as nuts, M&M's, or crushed Heath Bars. They give you a generous portion for the high price you pay. (State and William). Stroh's: Stroh's is conveniently located in the basement of the Union. It offers a baked potatoe bar as well as ice cream, and is a good stop while standing in line at the ticket office or waiting for a bus. The scoops are regular sized and reasonably priced. Compiled by Anne Evans and various staffers of the Entertain- ment supplememt. are the suggested forte's at Jason's. This shoppe offers soups and san- dwiches in addition to ice cream which makes it great for quick social lunches. Everything is a little expensive, but the quaint atmosphere with fine service makes eating en- joyable. (215S. State). Lovin' Spoonful: Located on Main Street, this ice cream eatery can be an escape from the crowds at Steves', but don't count on it. Lovin' Spoonfuls offers the largest variety of homemade ice cream flavors in town. Lovin' Spoonfuls offers the best of everything: waffle cones, mix-ins, ice cream pies, and friendly serive. It may be a bit of a walk from campus, but its' worth it.

Main " Ann Arbor, MI 48104 Name Address A By Rebecca Chung Tpo ALL of those closet . classical music lovers who have been practicing scales religiously in- stead of watching t.v.; to those who have driven to far-off lands at ungodly. hours to commune with other conver- ts in youth symphonies and camps; to those who used to tell peers that they spent last Saturday night at a party instead of at the all-Shostakovitch program at the local concert hall; and to those who, heaven forbid, actually like the way opera singers sound - you can relax now. Really. Even though most of your peers at college will still blast Pink Floyd and Depeche Mode on the weekends, you are now free to retaliate with Beethoven and Mahler without fear of censure (except during quiet hours). It is true that there is security in numbers, and one classical music lover living on a hallway full of the uninitiated can be a little in- timidating. However, this rarely hap- pens, not only because there are more of you than you think there are, but because there are many who ignored the secret feelings of joy they felt during Eine Kleine Nachtmusick and the opening of Beethoven's Sixth. These people will knock timidly on your door and ask, "What is that?" Feel-proud, for you will have assumed the rank of priest, guardian of profound truths. Nevertheless, classical music is ultimately a group activity, whether it be masses of people convening to listen to a great artist or groups of people getting together trying to imitate the great artists. But no mat- ter which category (and subset) you fall into, the University has an outlet for you. For those who wish to continue per- forming and/or studying, the first place to look is the School of Music. They offer private lessons taught by graduate students; or if you were the type who simply had to pass up a music career for biochemisty and to write the great American novel as well, the faculty itself. In addition, all instrumentalists and vocalists are eligible to audition for the School of Music's performing groups (one year a non-music-major trumpet player managed to get first chair in the to band.) LSA students can do either or both of these things for credit. But be sure to call the School of Music as soon as classes start, because space is limited and competition is tough, particularly for lessons. For people going outside the School of Music, or for those who can't make twice-weekly rehearsals, most graduate students do teach privately as well (again, get names and num- bers from the University), and there are many other groups to get involved in. Two of the least demanding are the Campus Orchestra and Campus Band, although the caliber of musicians is surprisingly high. These groups also give credit to LSA studen- ts. For vocalists, in addition to the all student choirs, there is the Choral Union (made up of students, faculty, and residents; they perform Han- del's Messiah every Christmas in ad- dition to several major choral works throughout the year), the Men's Glee Club (home of the beloved Friars) and the Women's Glee Club, as well as musicals and operettas (watch kiosks for mass meeting signs). Of special interest to instrumentalists - most student-produced musicals and operettas will pay you for playing in the pit. Who says you can't make money as a musician? There are also many opportunities to perform in the Ann Arbor com- munity as well. Check with local churches if you want to volunteer your services during their services, and to get on lists for weddings and other events. One of the best-kept secrets in the area is the First Presbyterian Church's handbell choir (no experien- ce necessary and lots of fun!). Call for details. Another outlet is the Ann Ar- bor Symphony. While quasi- professional (i.e. paid), and mostly comprised of city residents, it is still worth a try. For concert-goers, Ann Arbor usually has a performance going on somewhere every evening. Call the University Musical Society (Burton Tower) and the School of Music for concert schedules. UMS brings several major artists and performing groups to Ann Arbor every year; last year's season included Yo Yo Ma, Jessye Norman, the Concertgebouw Orchestra, Pinchas Zukerman, guitarist Andres Segovia and The English Concert. This year Kiri Te Kanawa, James Galway, and Maurice Andre are only some of the luminaries that will grace Hill. The School of Music features truly fine performances by its students and faculty. You are more likey to hear little-played or recent works here than in strictly commercial enter- prises. Other area concert sponsors include the Ann Arbor Symphony (who brought Dr. Peter Schickele, P.D.Q. Bach "specialist", to the Michigan Theatre last year), and Ars Musics (which focuses on Baroque music). If you are feeling slightly ambitious and have transportation, drive down to Detroit and listen to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, with music MANIKAS RESTAURANT Serving Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

While college is definitely a time to make major decisions and commit- tments, this doesn't mean that you should leave several years of training behind merely because you don't think you have the time or the talent. Nothing could be further from the truth. The University offers as many ways to stay involved with the world 'of music as one could imagine, allowing your abilities to grow even as you explore other possibilities. -'ii SflCTA ALTY 0DCHICKE N aID O SHRIMP 0 SEAFOODS DINNERS *"SANDWICHES *"SIDE ORDERS CARRYOUTS UK NOIN OR DELIVRY SERVICE " PARTY TRAY SERVICE * ANN ARBOR . ca1665-2266 MON WEDTURSSUN. $1 OFF W IT " 1 AM To AM MRI-SAT.
