by Nate Berger | Media Group

By Elaine Gu and Nate Berger | Media Group
Instead of rushing to lunch after the 11:30 bell, many students rushed to Treasure Island today.

The camp store welcomed its first customers today and sold well over 60 shells worth of merchandise in the first half hour of business.
