    Barbeque bonanza

    Learning how to cook is part of the college experience; we all get sick of the Student Center food and Easy Mac. So with summer approaching why not learn how to grill? Who doesn’t enjoy a barbeque? Friends, food and warm weather? Yes, please.
    Junior Alyssa Rogers said, “I had all my sisters in my sorority over for a barbeque and swimming. We made cheeseburgers, BOCA burgers and brats. It was really easy and a lot of fun!”
    Here are some fun and simple grilling recipes by AllRecipes.com:
