The New York City trip to see the Broadway show "Aida" is on Feb. 8. "Aida" is a trianglelove story-that takes place during a time when Africa and Nubia raged in war. ft features songs from Elton John and Tim Rice. There are tickets still available at $25 apiece. According to Jason Bozzone, director of student activities, the tkkets are for the first two rows in the orchestra and in bis opinion. they are the best seats in the house.

"The ticket alone is $72, the bus transportation is $1,200, and we are only charging S25 per person. You really can't beat it," Bozzone said.

The coach bus will be leaving Founder's Hall at 10 a.m. To make the ride go by quicker, a variety of movies will be available to watch for the viewing pleasure of attendees. The bus will arrive in New York approximately at 12 p.m. From 12 p.m to 2 p.m., everyone is welcome to do whatever he or she wants. In the past people have gone to see Ground Zero and Time Square. The show begins at 2 p.m and is approximately two and a half hours long.

There is an educational component with this trip. It is meant to be a co-curricular experience.The idea is to go to New York City, havefun and learn something at the same time. "We are trying to change a culture here at Cabrini. People who get involved with activities, regardless of what it is, are going to get something very big out of it," Bozzone said.

When the show is over. there will be free tin)e between the hours of 4-8 p.ru. In this time people are welcome to see a live taping of the David Letterman show, eat at the ESPN Zone or just walk around.Last year,some stu• dents were able to ~et J!JS(\nBiggs of "AmericanPie" and even get his autograph.
