ON 1 R? AGl The Gameco back Caroli STEPHANIE SONNENFELD Asst. Features Editor Chances are you won't be planning a trip to Charleston at 1:30 on a Sunday morning. Chances are, as an average USC student, you probably were asleep, passed out or trolling around Five Points while freshman Ben Reyes, along with three other USC students and a visiting College of Charleston student, headed to Charleston ? forgoing all time restrictions. "There was nothing better to do that evening, and we decided to go to Charleston," Reyes said. "It was a spurof-the-moment event." Taking the hour-and-some-odd minute anve lor no particular purpose, Reyes and crew had no {dans for their evening jaunt. After realizing that most of their hometown College of Charleston friends from Summerville were either asleep or busy when they got there, the travelers were planless. After not too many minutes of consideration, Reyes and friends ended up at Fanny's, a local 24-hour restaurant. After a hybrid mixture of dinner and breakfast, the group deposited its friend at the College of Charleston and headed back to Columbia. "The trip was really fun," Reyes said, "and I would do it again because the people I went with made it fun." Yet, all's well that starts well doesn't Only $1,099.

THE Al> UN ck welcomes na Roadtrip always go well. For example, the car Reyes and company were in almost broke down somewhere on Interstate 26. "That was scary ? waking up in the back of the car with the girls checking out the engine under the hood and being in the middle of nowhere on I26," Reyes said. Nowadays, roadtrips to everything from football games to nowhere in particular are popular with USC students, which has prompted the creative minds of The Gamecock staff to revamp Carolina Roadtrip, one of last year's regular features. Initially written by Gamecock Editor in Chief Lee Clontz, Roadtrip is being brought back for weekly publication. "Roadtrip was something I always enjoyed because it gave students from out of the area a look at what's around in the Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina area," Clontz said. With the backing of Clontz and other staff members, Roadtrip not only will feature sites around the Southeast, but hopes to branch out into Westem, Northern and Midwestern cities. Included in the weekly Roadtrip will be vital information such as where to go, where to stay and, of course, how to eret there.
