STUDENTS CONVERGE ON CAGLI;
AREA GENTS PROVIDE FREE BEER


GONZAGA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS made it safely and soundly to the quiet town of Cagli early Saturday afternoon, and were immediately offered free alcohol from area men in formal dress.

The students in question, Caitlin Bletscher, Amanda Brings, and Emily Gagel were comfortably seated at popular piazza hotspot Caffe d'Italia, determined to enjoy a few refreshing beverages in the cool shade. All that was to change, however, when the trio was approached by a few local men.

"They were about thirty or thirty-five years old," Caitlin and Amanda explained. "One was wearing a yellow suit, and he didn't really speak any English. But one of them spoke fantastic English, and he really spoke for the group."

Who were these mysterious men, and what was their method of operation? "They were in town for a wedding," Caitlin and Amanda confided. "They walked up to us and asked if they could buy us a few beers. We're not sure where they were from, but somewhere about an hour away."

After downing a few cold ones, the men apparently became a bit cocky. "They told us they could teach us better Italian than any Italian teacher ever could," Amanda explained.

"Overall, they were really nice, and a gave a good impression of the area," Caitlin told this reporter. Amanda concurred: "They were not creepy at all. I think we might see them later tonight. We have their phone numbers, but we don't know their names."

And how was the beer offered by these mysterious yet strangely generous locals? "It was good beer," the ladies said in unison. "It was the same kind they served us on the airplane!"
