A total of 52 restaurants, not counting Patti Cobb Cafeteria, Heritage Cafeteria, and the College Inn, served the 14,081 Searcy citizens and the 2,823 Harding students. That was quite a lot of food establishments for this small Arkansas town tsince almost half, 23, of them are located on Race Streeti. Food they ate consisted of Bonanzals salad bar, Burger Barnls french fries and Baskin Robbins ice cream. They also bought food at the five supermarkets and coke and candy at convenient stores. Students ate out about twice a week and spent at least $40.00 a month on food. - Sharon Bowles Eddie Cloer - photo by Bill Tripp. ectureship director Eddie Cloer, associate pro- fessor of Bible, challenged his students daily in his freshman Bible classes. His excitement for the Lord and for his work inspired students. If his classroom tactics failed, his home was sure to work. Each semester Cloer had each freshman Bible class, numbering over 100 each, in his home for a hot dog cookout. His concern for students was even evident as he involved himself in their lives after the semester was over. Glanccs a! Student Life 26 The Bison Express Card served students in more than one way. Not only could students buy their meals at the cafeterias, obtain free ad- mission into the local ball games, and write and cash checks using their identification cards, they could also purchase food at the newly renovated College Inn. Food at the snack center ranged from chocolate-covered pretzels to three strips of chicken with fries. The inn also had several separate shops including Itza Piz- za, Gretells Bakery and Grille Works. ItThe College Inn is great because not only is r 1 . v , . V, v ,' v ,. .

The declining balance on the card ranged from $275.00 per semester to zero per semester. Each student chose the amount they wanted and then us- ed it to buy food from the College Inn, candy or meals for friends. 21 chose the $40.00 plan because I felt I would not use the ser- vices offered, said Lisa Tucker. However, many students chose the larger meal plans so they could take advantage of the food op- portunities.

Yes, and this is just one of the many dif- ferent types of ham- brugers offered at the new Burgers Up. Located on East Race Street in a fluorescent green barn the new hamburger place became the new craze for the community. III like Burgers Up because it is not just your average hamburger joint. You can order several different types of burgers for a reasonable price and the atmosphere is really friendly? said Denise Johnston. Wicker baskets held the $2.25-$2.65 hamburgers and for just another 59C a basket tbig enough to serve twoi of curly-que fries was served. Unlike most restaurants, they were not open on Sun- days and they closed at 9:00 p.m. 0n the other six days. Because of the popularity of the ham- burgers, Burgers Up has definitely become one of the new college hang-outs. - Sharon Bowles t , w H; . , . is . .4 y . . .e.-H y. ,It1,'eg 0A5 a. 4 . lxe'oh,.g H.'. .'a At; v.

Because of the card, which served as a credit card for the College Inn, students were seen throughout the day order- ing food and drinks at the inn. In fact, it became a joke for whatever the student planned to buy, whether a hamburger at Wendyls or a notebook at Wal- Mart, for the student to say, Illust put it on my declining balance. - Sharon Bowles Cheap $1566 0 Hedmz

The night of my life was approaching and I was panicking. I had in- vited the ttman of my dreamsil to my club Christmas party and an- ticipated the event with excitement until the meeting. At the meeting we discussed what the Christmas party would be like. Food, favors and games were all decided upon and all was great except for the favors. They voted on home- Next, please.

Iris the ultimate craving?I a Shannon Caldwell Your tastebuds are tantalized as the waitress walks towards you with a plate stacked with three inches of lusciousness. Hm fudge slowly oozes down the sides of two thick slabs of chocolate cake separated by one thick slab of vanilla ice cream. The waitress sets it before you. Where do you begin? The corner? The middle? No; with the cherry on top. You begin, bite by bite to make it to the bottom, savoring each morsel. You eat it, the whole thing, and soon you are immovable. Shoneyis hot fudge cake has become one of 'the top-rated desserts for students. Whether it be dur- ing finals week, after a ball game, or in the middle of the day for only $1.50, your cravings for chocolate and sweets could be satisfied.

I couldnt boil water without stinking up the kitchen, plus I had no cookware. I debated about itcheatingi, and just going to Food-4-Less and buy- ing their cookies, but no, I decided to be honest and cook my love cookies. Because of my fear of cooking, I put off the situation until the Satur- day morning of our Christmas party. I rose early Saturday morning, trudged to Food-4-Less and roamed the aisles hunting for ingredients. I had thought of just using Duncan Hines instant cookies but since this was for the liman of my dreams, I decided to cook my own. I finally bought all the flour, sugar, baking soda, and everything else I thought . a 1' v v ..w. -.' .. a a 4 I v a . a .1 1b.: ,3. w'd ..g u... 4 . a':.4'.'..'f .I. o. ' v ..

I went to the kitchen on the second floor of Sears, spread out my wares, and dove in. I measured, poured, stirred and blended until a little of everything globbed in the bottom of the bowl. I then preceded to grease my pans and place my soggy cookie mix in- to the cold oven. Of course, I forgot to preheat my oven. I didnt think it would matter. I cranked the oven to 500 degrees, because of the problem, and preceded to wipe up the flour that covered the floor, counter top and cupboards. After roughly 15 minutes, I checked my cookies, and to my horror, gasped at the cookies that were black on the bottom, yet 1 v e u s .t' ' Y gushy in the middle: ' I put another tray in the now hot oven, let them cook for only 10 minutes, then took them out. Even though they were thoroughly cooked, when I bit into them I nearly choked. Something went wrong. After nearly another hour of playing with ingredients, I finally gave up. I cleaned the kitchen, tit took me almost one and a half hoursl then jumped in my car and went back to Food-4-Less. I had decid- ed that store-bought cookies, wrapped in foil, was not really cheating. After all, this was for the ttman of my dreams? a Wayna J.

Little league teams, teen groups, and families have all eaten at the family owned restaurant, yet college students are still the main buyers. ttFrozen Dis is great! I go there about once a week to get ice cream and usually try to get a different shake each time. The strangest one Iive ever eaten was blueberry- oreo, said Lance Riddick. Frozen Dts, as it was fondly called by college students, had only two flavors of ice cream, tvanilla and chocolatey but the specialty that made the ice cream noticeably different was the combination of ingre- dients added to it. They put oreos, peanut butter, butterfmgers, hot chocolate syrup, but- terscotch, bananas, mar- shmallow, and nearly 50 other toppings in the shakes. tiThe one thing that makes Frozen D's so special is that you get a lot for your money and they have such a variety of ice cream. Everyone can order whatever kind of combination of shakes they could possibly want, said Donann Cummings, Because of the different shakes, the old, small building, located on East Race Street, was definite- ly a hot spot for students. They would walk or drive there no matter what the season, to have a unique or sometimes strange combination of food and ice cream. For example, who ever heard of eating a blueberry peanut butter marshmallow vanilla shake? - Sharon Bowles Give me a cold one. After a hard day of classes, Trent Austin, a sophomore from Paragould, AR, orders his favorite shake at Frozen De- Lite. - photo by Bill Tripp. Glances at Student Life 27
