Campus Freedom Prized After sipping a frosty malt and biting into a juicy bacon burger and crisp hot fries, students were thankful that they had the free- dom of choice to leave campus for lunch. Students had the opportunity of eating in the cafeteria, at one of the many fast-food restaurants, or at home. Lunch time wasn't just for eating, it was a break from classes, a social time, and often a study time for those people who wanted to cram just a bit more before the big test. It was the ideal meeting time for numerous clubs and organizations since often their members were already involved in activities before and after school. Students who drove to Fiesta Mai had the chance to partake of many types of food from burgers to tacos to baked potatoes, available in the Pantry. While there, they also had the opportu- nity to browse through the shops or run quick errands before return- ing to school. Those that went home for lunch not only saved money by eating a home-cooked meal, but had time to catch up on what was happening on their fa- vorite soap operas. Local eating establishments found themselves swamped with kids wanting ev- erything from piping hot pizza at Barro's or Appetito's, to a cool, light lunch of frozen yogurt at the Yogurt Patio. Open campus was a privilege unanimously prized by all students, which they valued enough not to abuse. Design by Ashley Biebel. Photos by Dawn Mohney and Steve Wilbur. An alternative to walking when going off campus for lunch is to know some- one who drives, as do these students who pile in to be chauffeured to lunch. Socializing consumes the lunch hour, as students who do not see their friends during the day attempt to catch up on the latest news. The a la carte line, manned by student workers, provides fast food for stu- dents who do not wish to leave cam- pus for lunch. 22 Lunch Sludont Ufo

The Love Connection With all of the bodies in the halls, the Mustangs found it naturally easier to find the perfect com- panion for a romantic night on the town. As we found strength in numbers, we also found variety. Within this great variety, we set out in search for the perfect per- son to date. As dating began, the anxieties began also. As guys worked up the nerve to ask that cute girl out, girls suffered while wondering if that really special guy would ask them. While guys sweated out their first meeting with their dates' parents, girls worried what their dates thought of her parents. Ap- pearance was always a major concern, as girls moussed and gelled their hair to perfection, and the guys borrowed dad's razor to shave al three hairs off their chins. With that one special person, the main dating diemmma faced was deciding where to go and what to do. The search for new and more exciting places to go increased. Daters were attracted to restaurants like Bobby McGee's, Bennigan's, and Butch O'Leary's by their unique and fes- tive atmospheres. Places couples went to dance included After the Gddrush, Devilhouse, and Tom- my's, a new Phoenix night cHjb strictly for teenagers. Whether only dating that one special person all year, or dating a different person each week, the Mustangs discovered dating as a connection between school and social ife. Design by Michael Stuart.
