Best restroom. Restrooms on the first floor of the Morris Center come complete with makeup lights. They come as close to luxury as ACU will probably ever get, and that's not very close. Best fad. We give thanks to those fine folks at National Lampoon who brought us “Animal House” and John Belushi. Since the hippies and the sit-ins of the '60s, most Americans have relegated college students to a posi- tion equal with the Asian flu, some- thing to be avoided if humanly possible. Animal House” brought college students new “respectability,” and if no one thought of toga parties before, they have now. of finding a room for them again. Smart, huh? Best Senate project. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the Wildcat mascot costume. In fact, it was the Michael Murphey concert in Cullen Auditorium. Best honorary organization whose sole value is its inclusion on a transcript. We couldn’t really make a decision between Alpha Chi, Blue Key, W Club and Omega Rho Alpha. But our choice is Omega Rho Alpha because its only meeting is for the yearbook picture. Best Boss. ACU registrar Ken Rasco was selected by the Western Horizon Chapter of the American Business Women's Association. Best motel to reserve a room in for your parents. The Blue Top Courts on Ambler. They're air-cooled. They’re also perfect for a budget-minded student. But their best point is that once your parents spend a night there, they'll never ask you to go through the hassle Best alumnus. John Holton. Best picture. In our opinion, the year's best picture appeared in the Optimist centerspread entitled At the Zoo (Nov. 3,1978). Corliss Hudson photographed the year-old giraffe which has a face that could melt even the hardest heart. Best Sing Song costumes. Galaxy (pharoahs), GATA (butterflies) and the Sophomore class (dragons). Best Sing Song vocal groups. Galaxy (“Pharoah’s Phollies”), GATA ( The Metamorphosis”) and thf Senior class (“The Off-the-Wall Gang Presents: A Bunch of Phonies”). Best joke. The Campus Center grill. This joke is followed by the all-time best joke, the mall area to be constructed near the Foster Science Building. — Best of ACU

Best barbecue for Bean-weary students. Harold’s Pit Bar-B-Q at 1305 Walnut. Don't be deceived by the outside appearance; it's the best barbecue you’ll ever sink your teeth into. Best 532,000 expense. The new parking lot on Campus Court. Before it was paved, blowing dirt was enough to send everyone on campus running to take out contacts and to take in Dristan. Best bid night. The special bid night in the fall. Zeta Rho Alpha and Knights were allowed to have a second bid night to accommodate the large number of people who still wanted to be in a club but weren't accepted in the larger clubs. Best repetition. Chicken chunkies on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri- day and surprise, Sunday. They don’t have chicken chunkies on Saturday because they have to serve hot dogs with chili; it's a tradition. Best window. The stained glass circular win- dow in the balcony of the University Church of Christ. Best hotbed of controversy. Room 308 in the Morris Center, the S.A. office and the Campus Cops. Best door. The tubular door leading to nowhere. Well, actually it leads to an empty photojournalism lab. The door is designed to allow students to come and go from the lab without letting the dark leak out. Best rip-off. The drop-add fee charged with pre-registration. One confused student went through the drop-add process 20 times before he got it Best social comment on a cotton polyester T-shirt. “Happiness is seeing Abilene in your rear view mirror.” Best railroad crossing. Well it had to happen. Right when we thought we’d get them” back for all those years of driving over that crossing on E.N. 16th, they fix it. But not to be outdone, we had an emergency choice ready — the I — Best of ACU
