The menu includes barbecue chicken quarters and hot dogs, as well as a vegetarian option, plus potato salad, baked beans, ice cream sandwiches and soft drinks.

Staff Assembly advised that it is not selling individual meal tickets; in other words, only "bundled" tickets (for admission and meal) are available.

Youth sports clinics

Campus Recreation announced the addition of a second weeklong flag football camp this summer. Sign-ups also are being taken for a boys lacrosse clinic.

Lacrosse — For boys entering grades 3 to 12. A two-day clinic focusing on teamwork, acceleration, quick turns and hand-eye coordination, as well as offensive and defensive skills. Coaching by members of the men’s lacrosse club. June 26-27, Russell Intramural Field. $70 for ºÙºÙÊÓƵ students-ARC members; $75 otherwise.

Flag Football Frenzy — For boys and girls entering grades 4 to 8. The clinic is designed to teach the game to young players, although the clinic is open to children with any level of experience. Players are grouped by grade and ability and coached accordingly by Campus Recreation staff. Each camp concludes with a Friday tournament. The first camp, June 28-July 2, is full — which is why Campus Rec scheduled a second camp, July 5-9. Both camps are set to take place on the Dairy Intramural Field. Full day, 8 a.m.–5:30 p.m., $175 for ºÙºÙÊÓƵ students-ARC members; $190 otherwise. Half-day, 8 a.m.–12:30 p.m., $115 for ºÙºÙÊÓƵ students-ARC members; $125 otherwise. Fees include camp T-shirt.
