Anne Waugh, Eskridge junior, said she spent spring break last year in San Francisco.
Spring break can be cheap. An inexpensive vacation is possible, but it takes advance planning and some creativity

"President Bush is extraordinarily pleased with the agreement. It is a milestone, an enormous step forward," said Roger Porter, the president's chief domestic policy adviser.
WASHINGTON — Senate leaders and President Bush compromised yesterday on future air pollution controls for automobiles, factories and electric power plants, enhancing chances that a clean air bill will pass this year.
Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, called the compromise a comprehensive agreement that would substantially improve air quality during the next decade. He planned to bring the legislation to the Senate floor on Monday.
rter said the administration d attempt to expedite Senate age and seek a similar agree t in the House, where clean-airiation remains in committee.
it the compromise still is likely to unter stiff industry lobbying, ely because of its estimated $20 on to $40 billion annual cost to the iomy.
some senators also have expressed concern that the bargaining denied provisions in the original bill that would have required longer automobile emission cons to combat urban smog. Other voiced continued concern about impact of acid rain controls.
