I he 'rites of spring' New, old 'he By MARY PEARSON Senior reporter The annual exodus from USC begins Friday as students load up cars with beach supplies, six-packs, suntan lotion and other survival items for sprinc break. USC students will travel to hotspots, such as Cancun, Mexico and Key West, Fla., said Patrice Travis of the American International Travel Service. The service began booking for these two areas in November. Price ranges for hotel and airfare started at $314 for a one-week stay in Key West and $300 for a four-night stay in Cancun, she said. ^ Chuck Campbell, entertainment writer for ^ the Daytona News-Journal, said the most popular towns for the spring break season, which lasts more than four weeks, arc Daytona Beach, drawing about 375,000 college students; South Padre Island, Texas, attracting 300,000 students; and Fort Lauderdale, bringing in about 200,000 students. Daytona Beach During USC's week-long break, Daytona Beach off icials expect about 100,000 students, Campbell said. ^ Area bars such as P. J.'s Rock 'n' Roll Concert Club and The Other Place will feature live rock bands and contests and give away T-shirts and beer mugs. Campbell said other events include the annual National Collegiate Sports Festival semifinals. Colleges compete for four weeks in events such as flag football, tennis, wcightlifting and swimming. Semifinalists from each week will return in the fall for the finals, Campbell said. Two concerts will be held during the week. Eddie Money will appear at the Bandshell on March 11. Admission is free.

Joel is comparable to Bruce Snrincsteen because he has a legion of dedicated fans, his songs arc small stories and slices of life, and he is known for energetic three-hour concerts. Joel has not always been as popular with music critics as with fans. They have called his music trite and commercial, but most praised the artistic experimentation on his 1982 album The Nylon Curtain and The Bridge. Tickets are still available for $16.50 at the coliseum box office.
