Over 1,600 students waited in line for a free hamburgers and fries, on Welcome Back Day.

Every spring and fall semester In-N-Out comes out for “Welcome Back Day/Night”. They drive down to Cerritos’ Falcon Square with their mobile grills, and deep fryers and made a lot of students very happy.

Welcome back was held last Tuesday night for evening and nighttime students and Thursday mid-day for morning students between both welcome back events over 3,000 students received hamburgers.

As a promotion to encourage students to take their school I.D. pictures, In-N-Out will give the students a hamburger, small fries, and small soft drink, free at charge for the students. However in economics we learn “There is no such thing as a free lunch.” (TINSAAFL) Associated Students of Cerritos College picks up the check for the students.

“I just got the bill,” said Trudy Foster in Student Activities.

Some students did not participate in the event, students like Christina Figueroa, Undecided Major who said, “The lines was too long.”

ASCC also brought out a DJ Concert which was just their sound system to serenade the students with the latest music that’s in. Such as the music of R&B Artist Ashanty “Happy” and rapper Nelly’s “Hot in Here” echo through Falcon Square.

Foster also mentions that this event is to “reinforce the I.D. and another way to welcome the students.
