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.

Sophomores Tina Crawford from Flint, MI, and Judith Yearry from Paragould, AR, descend upon Shoneys for a delectable hot fudge cake on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Many students satisfied their sweet toothes with a Shoneyk hot fudge cake. - photo by Bill Tripp Shoneyis hot fudge cake is every dessert rolled up into one. 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. So next time you want something tasty, drop by Shoneyis and have a itcheap taste of heaven? - Denise Johnston 'u. v c - '1t' a. 1' o: 19' pqvcyv'. baked goods! What was I to do? 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. Bruce yam? .7159 fcagom 5am QM For 30 years, Frozen Delight has served the community by selling ice cream, shakes, and din- ner platters. 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

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.

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.

v e 4 v .' v a' Daily new activities, people, and ex- periences bombarded the lives of students. Phone bills cast gloom in mailboxes; cafeteria workers enlightened meal times; ghost stories haunted buildings; dorm rooms forced adjustments. Every day students faced something new. However, they adjusted well to the situa- tions and ttmade the most out of life. Sometimes they looked for entertainment, or for food, or for activities or at the different changes, but however they spent the day, campus life continued. Therefore laughter, tears, even anger sometimes filled the dor- mitory halls as students lived a campus life. - Sharon Bowles ' .'.yot, n 4 a le' Ir . e at a George Oliver 7 photo by Bill Tripp. aving a good rapport with his students was George Oliverls, Associate Dean of Business, main characteristic.He made all of his students feel like individuals that he truly cared about.

The epic, told when Galloway College for Women was in full bloom, centers around a sweet dame named Ger- trude. One late November evening, while most of the women were fast asleep, a tragedy struck with a terrifying blow. Genrude came in from a small party with some friends in town, said goodnight to her date, and climbed the stairs to her room. The white, frilly evening gown she wore swished merrily as she tip-toed down the long corridor. Suddenly she halted a listened for a moment as though she heard a sound - changed her course, and began walking cautiously toward the now abandoned three story elevator shaft Her long platinum blonde hair rolled across her white neck as she cocked her head to listen again. A blood-curdling scream rippled through the hall arousing the other girls from slumber, and chaos took command of the dorm. One young lady saw a huge, dark Y'V vs . W7, form hurdle by her and disappear down the flight of stairs. A hysterical house mother finally found wits enough to call the police and they found Gertrude at the bottom of the elevator shaft - dead! The blow had a devastating effect on the students. And even though she was dead, associates agreed that Gertrude still looked alive. They buried her in her white evening gown. People began to say things about the college; parents withdrew their daughters; the school began to collapse and in the meantime police found nothing of the sup- posed killer, Finally the case was dropped under the caption HAccidentfl Several years later, just before Galloway closed down, a freshman awoke at midnight and stumbled down the hall for a drink. A full moon cut ribbons of light through the walkway. The freshman paused at the elevator shaft and peered through the doors. She stifled a scream and somehow managed to make it back to her room and wake up her room- mate. Just before she dropped into a dead silence, she told her roomie, ttI could see her in the moonlight, sitting there in a white evening gown, brushing her platinum-blonde hairllt Her buddy mustered enough nerve to go down the hall and look. The chick across the hall, brought out of slumberland by the com- motion outside, found freshman number two standing speechless, wide-eyed against the op- posite wall. uShe - she - walked right through the wall to the first floor, the terrorized freshman gasped. So now the story goes that Gertrude still walks the halls of Galloway on full-moon nights, her fril- ly white gown rustling as she moves. It is told that she had said to her friends, ltl love this place and never intend to leave it - never? But, what are Ghostly Gertieis plans concerning the immediate housing shortage that goes into effect when Godden Hall is wrecked? Will she move to the music building with the supplies or will she move to Patti Cobb? The theory is that she will move with the corner stone of the music building and will walk those halls. So if on a moonlit night you think you see a lady dressed in white, glance again and shes not there - don't worry, its pro- bably just Gertie making her rounds. - Chris Elliott
