Transpo is providing buses to accommodate <br /> up to 250 students free of charge. The tour buses will be led by volunteer guides from <br /> the City of South Bend who will share their experience of living in the City with students <br /> and point out some of the City's main attractions. Several local restaurants, including <br /> Fiddler's Hearth, Le Peep, Siam Thai, South Bend Chocolate Cafe, and The Emporium <br /> are donating gift certificates as incentives for students to both come on the tour and to <br /> bring friends back into the City to taste cuisine outside the campus dining halls. <br /> Students will have the privilege of tasting some of the best local pizza at the <br /> conclusion of the tour, as Barnaby's, Polito's, and Bruno's have all agreed to donate pies <br /> for a lunch to be held outside the Morris Performing Arts Center on the Jon Hunt Plaza. <br />
