There's stuff to do here By BECKY GILES ASSOCIATE EDITOR Welcome back to Cedar City-now what are you going to do? With many students flooding back to Cedar and those lost souls coming here for the first time, the question most commonly asked is, "What is there to do in Cedar?" So, what is there to do in Cedar? Despite how things may first appear, Cedar City is full of several things to do, from a variety of restaurants, to student activities to hiking on down to K-Mart or Wal-Mart and buying sidewalk chalk or finger paints to indulge your artistic abilities. For those with food in mind, there are som e 35 eating establishments in Cedar City. Ranging from formal dining to fast food drive-ins, many of these restaurants offer SUV students discounts. Among these places are the Brickhouse Cafe, which offers a 10 percent discount to SUV students, and Jimmy's Cantina, which offers a 20 percent discount. Adriana's, Milt's Stage Stop and Rusty's Ranch House offer options for those looking for a more formal dining experience. There are many other restaurants in Cedar City where students can go to hang out and eat in a more informal setting. Such places include Boomer's, Halley's Diner and Sports Grille, Hunan Chinese Restaurant and La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant and Cantina. For those people whose tastes lie in the fast food category there are various locations close by to fulfill the desire for a quick burger, sandwich or taco. McDonald's, Arby's, Hermies, Brad's Food Hut, Burger King, Dairy Queen, Taco Bell and other such establishments offer a variety to satisfy any cravings one might have. These are in addition to the food court outlets in the Sharwan Smith Center. Still, some students may get the notion for enjoyin g the fruits of nature with a Zuka Juice. After satisfying the urge to eat some grub, students may find themselves in the mood for a hike. Fortunately Cedar City happens to lie in the middle of many places where one may take advantage of such an activity. Zion N ational Park is some 45 minutes from Cedar. Cedar Breaks and Brianhead Ski Resort are also close by and for the really adventurous types, the Grand Canyon is not all that far, either. If hiking is not your cup of tea, you can enjoy a night of bowling at Alpine Lanes. This year it's offering Cosmic Bowling from 10 p.m. until closing on Friday and Saturday. For one price, students can get their bowling shoes and bowl as many games as they want against the backdrop of loud music and strobe lights. The lanes have also continued Rock'N'Bowl on Fridays starting at 9 p.m. and Country Night on Saturday at 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday the lanes are open until 11 p.m. If bowling doesn't stanch your thirst for adventure, you can calm your restless soul with a game of sand volleyball at Manzanita's or Canyon Park's volleyball courts. There are also the Fiddler's and Cedar movie theatres. Fiddler's has six screens and Cedar has two, providing plenty of cinematic options. In addition to all of these fa bulous activities, you can show your support for SUUSA by teaming up with a group of friends to participate in intramural sports. You can get together with your peers to play a friendly game of football, basketball or volleyball. To find out which intramural sports are being played and to sign up, contact the SUUSA offices in the Sharwan Center or call 586-7767. Still, if you've read this whole list of options and have not found anything appealing, you can check with the SUV theatre arts department and attend some of the productions they stage throughout the year. If theatre is not your thing, check out the dance programs and experience the talent and variety of SUV dance students. Curtain time for all evening theatre and dance performances is 7:30 p.m . Bored on a Saturday? The SUV theatre arts and dance department also has matinees at 2 p.m. on some Saturdays. Call 586-7876 for more information on ticket prices and event information. When winter brings itchings for skiing down cool mountain slopes at Brianhead Ski Resort, go snag yourself some skiis and, as they say in Better Off Dead, · "Go down that way really fast, and if something gets in your way-TURN." Summer brings beautiful weather and fabulous opportunities to head to Quail Creek and goof-off with friends. For students lacking a motorized form of transportation, make friends with those who are luckier, richer, or have nicer parents. Want to go for a swim? The Cedar Municipal Swimming Pool is a great place to show off your tan, or lack thereof. Perhaps you have a significant other whose tan you wouldn't mind examining. So if you're bored-fear nbt. There is always something to do in Cedar. You know what they say: SUV students are in the only place where you can ski and golf in the same day. |
