Southeast residence life rates change SAVANNA MAUE EDITOR

Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀University฀ opened฀a฀new฀residence฀hall฀in฀August฀ of฀2013,฀which฀until฀last฀Friday฀had฀not฀ received฀an฀official฀name.฀Recently,฀ Donald฀G.฀and฀Gloria฀King฀LaFerla฀ made฀a฀$1.7฀million฀dollar฀donation฀to฀ Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀University,฀ ensuring฀that฀the฀building฀will฀now฀be฀ named฀the฀Donald฀G.฀and฀Gloria฀King฀ LaFerla฀Residence฀Hall.฀This฀is฀just฀one฀ of฀the฀changes฀that฀will฀be฀made฀to฀ residence฀hall฀life฀next฀year. An฀average฀room฀and฀board฀rate฀ increase฀of฀1.65฀percent฀was฀approved฀ at฀the฀Board฀of฀Regents฀meeting฀in฀ February.฀This฀increase฀is฀lower฀than฀ what฀students฀paid฀last฀year,฀which฀was฀ an฀increase฀of฀2.97฀percent.฀In฀addition฀ to฀the฀housing฀increase฀the฀“board”฀ portion฀of฀the฀rate,฀which฀includes฀the฀ student฀meal฀plans,฀will฀increase฀4฀ percent. According฀to฀the฀motion฀form฀used฀ by฀the฀Board฀of฀Regents,฀the฀average฀ increase฀in฀board฀rates฀is฀4฀percent,฀in฀ addition฀to฀last฀year’s฀3.49฀percent. It฀was฀also฀announced฀in฀January฀ that฀Dearmont฀Hall฀will฀no฀longer฀be฀ single฀occupancy,฀and฀the฀rate฀for฀the฀ River฀Campus฀housing฀has฀been฀set฀at฀ $6,250.฀This฀rate฀was฀set฀on฀the฀same฀ level฀as฀LaFerla฀Hall฀and฀Merick฀Hall. “In฀terms฀of฀buildings฀that฀are฀ increasing฀in฀cost฀there’s฀really฀only฀ two,”฀Dr.฀Bruce฀Skinner,฀assistant฀vice฀ president฀for฀student฀success฀and฀ director฀of฀Residence฀Life,฀said.฀“That฀ would฀be฀the฀new฀residence฀hall,฀the฀ one฀over฀by฀the฀Polytech฀building฀and฀ Merick฀Hall.฀Those฀are฀our฀two฀newest฀ buildings฀that฀are฀currently฀open.฀The฀ demand฀for฀those฀is฀exceedingly฀high,฀ the฀amenities฀that฀they฀have฀in฀them,฀in฀ my฀opinion,฀set฀them฀apart฀from฀some฀

of฀our฀other฀suite-style฀housing. “So฀based฀upon฀the฀demand฀and฀ amenities฀level฀we฀increased฀those฀two฀ buildings฀by฀$250฀for฀the฀academic฀ year.฀The฀third฀building฀is฀the฀River฀ Campus฀building,฀so฀we฀set฀that฀room฀ rate฀as฀the฀same฀$6,250฀as฀what฀you฀see฀ now฀for฀Merick฀and฀the฀new฀residence฀ hall฀[LaFerla].฀Those฀are฀the฀three฀ buildings,฀but฀really฀it฀is฀only฀two,฀that฀ have฀seen฀an฀increase฀in฀terms฀of฀their฀ cost฀of฀what฀a฀student฀would฀be฀paying฀ to฀live฀there฀this฀year฀compared฀to฀next฀ year.” Students฀who฀live฀in฀Dearmont’s฀ newly฀private฀rooms฀will฀pay฀$600฀less฀ than฀what฀they฀paid฀for฀a฀private฀this฀ year.฀This฀year฀the฀cost฀for฀living฀alone฀ in฀Dearmont฀was฀$5,850.฀Next฀year฀the฀ price฀has฀been฀listed฀at฀$5,250.฀ Although฀Dearmont฀is฀the฀only฀ residence฀hall฀with฀specifically฀private฀ housing,฀students฀can฀also฀request฀a฀ private฀room฀in฀any฀of฀the฀halls฀on฀ campus.฀The฀fee฀is฀an฀extra฀50฀percent฀ of฀the฀annual฀cost฀of฀that฀room฀when฀ paying฀for฀a฀normal฀double. Skinner฀said฀even฀though฀buildings฀ such฀as฀Merick฀and฀LaFerla฀are฀in฀high฀ demand,฀students฀can฀still฀enter฀in฀a฀ lottery฀to฀be฀placed฀in฀a฀private฀room. “We’ve฀had฀the฀lottery฀for฀a฀number฀ of฀years,฀traditionally฀it’s฀a฀lottery,฀but฀ we’ve฀always฀had฀enough฀spaces฀to฀ accommodate฀what฀everyone฀wants.฀ So฀even฀though฀it’s฀a฀lottery,฀everyone฀ wins฀is฀one฀way฀to฀look฀at฀it,”฀Skinner฀ said.฀“But฀you฀do฀have฀to฀tell฀us฀ahead฀ of฀time,฀‘Yes,฀I฀am฀interested฀in฀a฀private฀ room,’฀and฀we฀do฀that฀intentionally฀ because฀we฀want฀to฀be฀able฀to฀plan.” Skinner฀said฀that฀the฀residence฀life฀ staff฀plans฀for฀100฀private฀rooms฀across฀ the฀residence฀hall฀system. “We฀haven’t฀really฀had฀to฀tell฀ students฀that฀they’re฀not฀going฀to฀get฀ one฀of฀their฀top฀choices฀because฀there฀ hasn’t฀been฀significant฀demand,฀

meaning฀200-plus฀people,”฀Skinner฀ said. The฀other฀main฀change฀within฀the฀ budget฀proposal฀was฀the฀change฀to฀ Southeast’s฀meal฀plans.฀Skinner฀ explained฀that฀the฀increase฀is฀broken฀ down฀into฀different฀factors. “With฀the฀board฀rate฀[meal฀plan],฀ the฀student฀meal฀plan฀rate฀went฀up฀4฀ percent.฀And฀that฀breaks฀down฀really฀ into฀three฀things฀that฀drive฀that฀cost,”฀ Skinner฀said.฀“The฀first฀one฀was฀2.1฀ percent฀was฀the฀[Consumer฀Price฀ Index]฀for฀food฀away฀from฀home,฀which฀ is฀what฀we฀look฀at฀in฀terms฀of฀what฀ projected฀food฀cost฀should฀be฀in฀terms฀ of฀labor.฀So฀that’s฀2.1฀percent฀of฀that฀4฀ percent.฀The฀second฀variable฀[was฀that]฀ we฀agreed฀a฀number฀of฀years฀ago฀in฀our฀ contract฀with฀Chartwells฀that฀they฀ provided฀us฀resources฀including฀funds฀ to฀renovate.฀…฀As฀part฀of฀that฀we฀agreed฀ that฀each฀year฀they฀would฀get฀a฀1฀ percent฀rate฀increase฀on฀top฀of฀ whatever฀CPI฀is.฀So฀that฀puts฀us฀at฀3.1฀ percent. “The฀other฀.09฀percent฀is฀really฀ because฀we฀are฀bringing฀another฀venue฀ online฀at฀the฀River฀Campus.฀…฀We฀ know฀that฀some฀students฀who฀used฀to฀ be฀eating฀at฀the฀UC฀will฀now฀be฀eating฀ over฀there.฀So฀being฀partners฀with฀ Chartwells฀we฀did฀want฀to฀provide฀ some฀revenues฀since฀we฀were฀bringing฀ another฀dining฀option฀online฀and฀ spreading฀our฀students฀out฀over฀more฀ venues฀and฀not฀just฀adding฀more฀ students.” This฀year’s฀rate฀for฀lunch฀and฀dinner฀ with฀a฀meal฀plan฀is฀currently฀set฀at฀ $6.50.฀Skinner฀said฀this฀will฀also฀go฀up฀ with฀whatever฀the฀percentage฀increase฀ is฀that฀food฀service฀goes฀up. “So฀since฀meal฀plans฀went฀up฀four฀ percent฀value฀exchange฀has฀to฀go฀up฀4฀ percent,”฀Skinner฀said.฀“So฀I฀believe฀it฀is฀ an฀additional฀25฀cents฀for฀dinner฀and฀25฀ cents฀for฀lunch.”

When฀it฀comes฀to฀judo,฀fighting฀a฀larger฀opponent฀can฀be฀a฀great฀advantage฀and฀with฀the฀ right฀technique฀it฀can฀be฀turned฀and฀used฀ against฀him฀or฀her.฀With฀enough฀skill,฀a฀small฀ player฀can฀send฀a฀larger฀opponent฀crashing฀to฀ the฀mat.

“Victoria.”฀He฀was฀inspired฀by฀one฀of฀the฀ sculptures฀in฀the฀Louvre. “As฀an฀artist,฀I฀guess,฀quite฀often฀we฀are฀ inspired฀by฀many฀different฀things,฀but฀the฀ interesting฀thing฀is฀I฀think฀this฀is฀the฀case฀for฀ many฀artists฀or฀most฀artists฀there฀is฀usually฀a฀couple฀of฀things฀that฀stick฀with฀us฀our฀ entire฀careers,”฀Wubbena฀said.฀“We฀don’t฀ know฀why,฀but฀there฀is฀something฀that฀is฀a฀ mainline฀inspiration,฀or฀always฀in฀the฀back฀ of฀our฀heads.฀In฀this฀case฀it฀is฀the฀‘Nike฀of฀ Samothrace.’” The฀“Nike฀of฀Samothrace”฀is฀a฀stone฀sculpture฀of฀a฀winged฀woman.฀Over฀time฀the฀ sculpture฀has฀eroded฀and฀the฀woman฀has฀ lost฀her฀head,฀but฀Wubbena฀has฀always฀been฀ inspired฀by฀it. “It฀has฀always฀for฀some฀reason฀held฀some฀ sort฀of฀feeling฀of฀triumph฀for฀me,”฀he฀said.฀ “The฀pinnacle฀of฀whatever฀it฀is฀I฀want฀art฀to฀ be,฀so฀I฀started฀with฀that฀general฀idea.” Unlike,฀the฀“Nike฀of฀Samothrace,”฀his฀ sculpture฀is฀made฀of฀steel.฀It฀is฀10฀feet฀tall,฀ 4-feet-6-inches฀wide฀and฀5฀feet฀deep.

RESEARCH continues on Show Me Center THE DECISION WAS MADE ON FEB. 28 THAT RESEARCH WOULD CONTUNE ON POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS

Proposal approved to research upgrades on Show Me Center BAILEY MCCORMICK STAFF WRITER

Faded฀red฀fold-out฀seats฀can฀be฀seen฀scattered฀throughout฀the฀arena฀and฀a฀dull฀buzz฀ from฀dated฀lighting฀fixtures฀acts฀as฀background฀noise.฀The฀Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀ University฀Show฀Me฀Center฀is฀27฀years฀old฀ and฀many฀components฀of฀the฀building฀are฀ showing฀signs฀of฀age. On฀Feb.฀28,฀the฀Board฀of฀Regents฀approved฀ a฀proposal฀to฀do฀further฀research฀on฀improvements฀and฀upgrades฀that฀are฀needed฀for฀ the฀Show฀Me฀Center.฀There฀was฀no฀official฀ decision฀to฀carry฀out฀any฀upgrades. Will฀Gorman,฀the฀Show฀Me฀Center’s฀director,฀said฀there฀are฀several฀components฀of฀ the฀building฀to฀be฀updated฀that฀he฀feels฀will฀ improve฀the฀quality฀of฀service฀for฀guests. “It’s฀an฀exciting฀time,”฀Gorman฀said.฀“It’s฀ not฀going฀to฀happen฀overnight,฀but฀it’s฀exciting฀with฀all฀the฀possibilities฀for฀the฀venue฀ here฀because฀the฀Show฀Me฀Center฀has฀been฀ a฀real฀big฀part฀of฀the฀community฀and฀it’s฀exciting฀to฀move฀forward฀and฀kind฀of฀get฀a฀fresh฀ look.”

“It’s an exciting time. It’s not going to happen overnight, but it’s exciting with all the possibilities for the venue here.” Will Gorman Many฀of฀the฀building’s฀aspects฀have฀outlived฀their฀lifespan.฀One฀of฀the฀top฀priorities฀ on฀the฀list฀is฀replacing฀the฀retractable฀seats,฀ which฀are฀about฀15฀years฀past฀their฀intended฀ shelf฀life. These฀seats฀have฀been฀used฀by฀millions฀of฀ people฀because฀they฀are฀original฀to฀the฀building฀and฀are฀beginning฀to฀wear฀out.฀Hussey฀Seating,฀the฀company฀that฀made฀the฀ building’s฀retractable฀seating,฀no฀longer฀produces฀that฀style฀of฀seat.฀Gorman฀said฀when฀ parts฀fail,฀“we฀fix฀what฀we฀can฀and฀then฀we฀ go฀to฀another฀part฀source.฀But฀we’ve฀kind฀of฀ exhausted฀that.” Gorman฀would฀like฀to฀see฀new฀seats฀that฀ are฀wider,฀can฀seat฀more฀people,฀are฀more฀ comfortable฀and฀may฀contain฀cup฀holders.฀

He฀said฀a฀major฀concern฀is฀that฀these฀seats฀ were฀installed฀before฀the฀American฀Disabilities฀Act฀was฀in฀place฀and฀do฀not฀contain฀ handrails,฀which฀he฀hopes฀will฀be฀part฀of฀the฀ addition.฀The฀seating฀of฀the฀prospective฀plan฀ is฀estimated฀to฀cost฀$2.4฀million. The฀facility’s฀roof฀is฀22฀years฀old.฀Kathy฀ Mangles฀is฀vice฀president฀of฀finance฀and฀ administration฀at฀Southeast.฀At฀the฀February฀ board฀meeting฀Mangels฀said฀the฀roof฀is฀ beginning฀to฀crumble฀apart,฀causing฀water฀ damage.฀The฀steel฀system฀that฀runs฀along฀the฀ ceiling฀also฀needs฀improvement.฀Performances฀and฀events฀will฀have฀equipment฀hang฀ from฀this฀system.฀The฀current฀system฀holds฀ up฀to฀70,000฀pounds฀and฀many฀of฀the฀performances฀that฀come฀to฀the฀Show฀Me฀Center฀have฀too฀much฀equipment฀for฀the฀system฀ to฀handle. “When฀Trans฀Siberian฀Orchestra฀was฀here฀ with฀a฀Christmas฀show฀three฀years฀in฀a฀row,฀ every฀year฀they฀left฀more฀and฀more฀equipment฀on฀their฀truck,”฀Gorman฀said.฀“They฀ couldn’t฀even฀bring฀in฀their฀whole฀production฀because฀we฀didn’t฀have฀the฀capability฀to฀ hold฀that฀that฀much฀weight.” Other฀components฀of฀the฀facility฀that฀are฀ dated฀include฀the฀lighting฀fixtures,฀the฀lightbulb฀scoreboard฀and฀the฀sound฀system฀that฀ was฀only฀intended฀for฀voice,฀not฀music.฀ Each฀of฀these฀are฀original฀to฀the฀building฀as฀ well.฀Gorman฀said฀he฀would฀like฀to฀see฀the฀ lights฀replaced฀with฀energy฀efficient฀LED฀ lighting฀and฀a฀digital฀scoreboard฀with฀video฀ capabilities.฀These฀elements฀combined฀are฀ estimated฀to฀cost฀$1.5฀million. “The฀thought฀process฀is฀a฀more฀updated฀system฀that฀can฀handle฀some฀music฀ but฀also฀gives฀us฀the฀flexibility฀where฀if฀we฀ wanted฀to฀drop฀a฀set฀of฀speakers฀and฀set฀ them฀up฀for฀a฀John฀Legend฀or฀REO,฀Styx,฀ we฀would฀have฀that฀capability฀to฀do฀that,”฀ Gorman฀said. Other฀minor฀aspects฀of฀the฀plan฀are฀ bathrooms฀more฀suitable฀for฀handicap฀ needs,฀an฀up-to-date฀elevator฀and฀some฀ work฀on฀the฀badly฀damaged฀north฀side฀of฀ the฀parking฀lot.฀The฀estimated฀cost฀for฀this฀ portion฀of฀the฀upgrades฀is฀$2.15฀million. “The฀facility฀has฀been฀well฀maintained฀but฀unfortunately฀it’s฀time฀to฀do฀some฀ upgrades,”฀Gorman฀said. The฀project฀is฀estimated฀to฀cost฀$7฀million฀ total.฀Plans฀will฀be฀drawn฀up฀in฀the฀next฀few฀ weeks฀by฀different฀architects฀and฀specialists.฀Further฀development฀will฀be฀proposed฀ at฀the฀next฀board฀meeting฀in฀June.

SAVANNA MAUE The Southeast Missouri State University Student Government Association elections will be available through the Southeast portal April 2 -3 to elect the SGA executive board and the student senators. There are three EDITOR students running for the executive board unopposed and 49 students running for senate positions in their various colleges. Each college can elect five senators while the schools can only elect three. The School of Visual and Performing Arts and the School of University Studies do not have enough candidates for a full ballot, so the students are running uncontested. Senators represent all of the students in their college. The senators vote on and discuss different issues within their weekly SGA meetings that impact students. Senators sit on a number of committees within student government and the university. These selected students are responsible for deciding the distribution of SGA’s operating budget, which comes from Southeast students’ fees. All the candidates provided their statement of candidacy when submitting their application, which is the information listed below.

A:฀I฀feel฀like฀it’s฀easier฀now฀as฀a฀junior฀because฀I฀can฀focus฀on฀ just฀my฀major.฀Once฀I฀got฀the฀general฀education฀out฀of฀the฀way,฀ it’s฀easier฀to฀just฀work฀on฀education฀that฀I฀can฀later฀get฀a฀job฀for.

Q: Do teammates help each other out when it comes to schoolwork? A:฀If฀need฀be,฀teammates฀will฀help฀each฀other฀out,฀but฀the฀Success฀Center฀helps฀out฀a฀lot.฀If฀I฀ever฀need฀help฀I฀will฀go฀up฀to฀the฀ Success฀Center฀and฀try฀to฀talk฀to฀Sharon฀[Burgard]฀or฀somebody฀up฀there.

Q: What is the mindset going through each day, is it baseball irst then school or all mixed into one? A:฀I฀try฀to฀get฀my฀schoolwork฀done฀before฀baseball฀because฀we฀ only฀get฀so฀many฀hours฀to฀focus฀on฀baseball฀and฀accomplish฀ what฀we฀can.฀I฀like฀focus฀on฀baseball฀as฀much฀as฀possible,฀so฀I฀ am฀always฀trying฀finish฀my฀schoolwork฀first.

Q: If you could advice to any future student athletes on how to balance it all, what would it be?

Q: Have you found that with baseball it’s better take fewer hours? A:฀Early฀on฀my฀college฀career฀I฀took฀more฀classes฀during฀baseball฀season.฀If฀I฀could฀give฀advice฀to฀the฀guys฀coming฀to฀the฀ team฀next฀year฀it฀would฀be฀to฀take฀15฀during฀the฀season฀and฀ maybe฀even฀18฀hours฀in฀the฀fall฀because฀once฀you฀get฀into฀the฀ baseball฀season฀things฀can฀build฀up฀on฀you฀and฀come฀tournament฀time฀gets฀tough฀trying฀to฀study฀for฀finals฀and฀play฀your฀ best฀ball.

I฀was฀really฀excited฀when฀Southeast฀changed฀from฀Commerce฀Bank฀to฀US฀Bank฀because฀US฀Bank฀has฀been฀amazing฀ the฀past฀few฀years฀and฀is฀my฀choice฀for฀best฀student฀checking. Back฀in฀high฀school,฀my฀car฀was฀broken฀into฀and฀my฀ purse฀was฀stolen฀while฀I฀was฀at฀cheerleading฀practice.฀This฀ was฀literally฀right฀after฀Christmas฀so฀inside฀I฀had฀all฀of฀the฀ money฀and฀gift฀cards฀I฀had฀received฀and฀my฀credit฀card. Unfortunately,฀I฀couldn’t฀inform฀the฀bank฀in฀time฀for฀it฀ to฀be฀cancelled,฀but฀I฀called฀them฀and฀explained฀what฀had฀ happened฀and฀they฀immediately฀refunded฀me฀for฀the฀two฀ gas฀station฀charges฀and฀for฀a฀purchase฀at฀Walgreens.฀That฀made฀the฀incident฀a฀little฀less฀painful,฀even฀though฀the฀police฀never฀caught฀the฀person฀who฀did฀it. Since฀I’ve฀been฀living฀in฀Cape฀and฀living฀off฀campus฀the฀past฀two฀years,฀I฀have฀to฀go฀inside฀ US฀Bank฀to฀deposit฀rent฀money฀and฀all฀that฀not-fun฀grown฀up฀stuff.฀Everyone฀there฀knows฀ my฀name฀and฀asks฀how฀I’m฀doing฀and฀helps฀me฀when฀I฀have฀no฀idea฀how฀to฀do฀things.฀I฀really฀appreciate฀that. Side฀note:฀why฀wasn’t฀I฀taught฀anything฀important,฀like฀banking,฀in฀high฀school?฀I฀still฀ask฀ myself฀this. So,฀if฀you’re฀looking฀for฀a฀bank฀or฀if฀you’re฀about฀to฀vote฀on฀the฀Campus฀Choice฀survey,฀I’d฀ recommend฀US฀Bank.

Being฀broke฀is฀usually฀part฀of฀the฀territory฀that฀comes฀with฀ being฀a฀college฀student.฀However,฀it฀doesn’t฀stop฀us฀from฀desiring฀a฀good฀time฀or฀delicious฀food. Luckily฀for฀me฀and฀now฀luckily฀for฀you,฀there฀is฀a฀delicious฀ Asian฀restaurant฀on฀North฀Kingshighway฀called฀Saffron฀Bistro฀or฀just฀Saffron฀for฀short.฀If฀you฀appreciate฀Asian฀food,฀ this฀is฀the฀place฀for฀you.฀It’s฀insanely฀delicious฀and฀surprisingly฀inexpensive.฀Most฀of฀their฀big฀entrees฀are฀around฀$9฀for฀ a฀large฀helping฀of฀rice,฀noodles฀or฀vegetables฀with฀a฀choice฀ of฀meat. If฀you฀still฀think฀a฀$9฀entree฀is฀too฀expensive฀try฀going฀around฀lunch฀time.฀They฀have฀a฀ wonderful฀lunch฀express฀menu฀that฀has฀great฀options฀like฀pad฀thai฀or฀beef฀stir฀fry฀—฀both฀of฀ which,฀I฀recommend.

The฀best฀sweet฀treat฀in฀Cape,฀or฀at฀least฀the฀one฀you’re฀not฀ going฀to,฀is฀Kaleidoscoops฀Ice฀Cream. I’m฀a฀sucker฀for฀ice฀cream,฀so฀I฀apologize฀if฀you’re฀lactose฀intolerant.฀Although฀I฀spent฀too฀much฀time฀and฀money฀ on฀half-priced฀shakes฀at฀Sonic฀this฀summer฀(always฀a฀solid฀ option),฀right฀across฀Kingshighway฀is฀a฀small฀ice฀cream฀shop฀ called฀Kaleidoscoops.฀And฀even฀though฀I’ve฀grown฀to฀enjoy฀ Simply฀Swirled฀(another฀great฀option),฀I฀didn’t฀notice฀Kaleidoscoops฀until฀the฀end฀of฀my฀junior฀year. Kaleidoscoops฀offers฀a฀huge,฀rotating฀selection฀of฀mix-and-match฀flavors฀including฀German฀Chocolate,฀Black฀Walnut,฀Peach,฀Superman฀and฀more.฀Every฀time฀I฀walk฀in฀the฀doors,฀I฀ have฀a฀new฀smorgasbord฀of฀interesting฀flavors฀to฀drool฀over.฀The฀price฀is฀reasonable,฀and฀frequent฀fliers฀can฀grab฀a฀punch฀card฀to฀fuel฀up฀for฀an฀even฀sweeter฀treat฀after฀eight฀purchases. The฀ice฀cream฀trail฀doesn’t฀end฀at฀Andy’s,฀Dairy฀Queen,฀Simply฀Swirled฀or฀McDonald’s.฀ I’d฀encourage฀anyone฀to฀check฀out฀Kaleidoscoops.฀I฀believe฀it’s฀a฀Cape฀Girardeau฀secret฀that฀ needs฀to฀be฀told.฀So฀the฀next฀time฀you’re฀feeling฀the฀ice฀cream฀freezer฀at฀Schnuck’s,฀I฀urge฀you฀ to฀branch฀out฀and฀drive฀the฀short฀distance฀to฀Kaleidoscoops.฀You฀won’t฀regret฀it฀unless,฀of฀ course,฀you’re฀lactose฀intolerant.
