The Michigan Daily -Monday, February 6, 1995 PAID ADVERTISEMENT !w S P 0 R T S P A G E " SPRING BREAK Spring Break means different things to different people. For some, Spring Break means sandy beaches and the warm sun of Cancun. For others, it means fresh powder on the ski slopes of Aspen, and of course, catching up on the daily soaps that we missed throughout the semester. But before you go to fake-bake to build your base tan, or tighten your bindings, be sure to check out all of the great athlet- ic activities The University of Michigan has to offer. Your responses to NIKE 101, Assignment #2 were overwhelming. I hardly had enough time to read all of your sob stories. So, like any good teacher would do, I am giving you another assignment.

Being inquisitive, I asked her where she obtained her pen. "That cool NIKE truck," she replied. I immediately knew what she was referring to, as there is only one cool NIKE truck, the NIKE Hummer. The Hummer is NIKE's way to keep in touch with the American public, whether it's at a University of Michigan Football game or at a pee-wee baseball game. For those of you who missed the Hummer's appearance in October don't worry. The Hummer S.W.A.T. Team will invade the streets of Ann Arbor in mid-March to highlight NIKE's ties to the University of Michigan Campus. So if you see a black military vehicle in your rear view mirror, don't be afraid, it may be the NIKE Hummer! 20 21 0 0 WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS at University of Utah MEN'S TENNIS at Chaminade, Hawaii MEN'S BASKETBALL at Michigan State, 7:30 pm MEN'S TENNIS v.
