On campus students didn't have to have their arms twisted to get away from the dorm food. lK. Flowet THIRD SHSEFI HHICII llii Hungry students just needed to take a drive or walk as the case may be down third street. A range of eating places with something for everyone could be found from Jon Henri's to the Bed Lobster. Hamburger joints were plentiful Burger Chef, lVlcDonald's, Burger King, Justrite, and Scotty's all catered to the students. Burger Chef came out with the rancher and McDonald's with larger cokes. McDonald's newly remodeled restaurant also started serving breakfast again. Students returned from Christmas vacation to find Friendly Fosters had been gutted by a fire. Students waited in a line daily at Taco Tico's to get tacos, tortillas, burritos, and other Mexican foods. A new addition to Terre Haute was the Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips while Long John Silvers was still a popular place to get a good meal. Over twenty pizza places thrived in Terre Haute with pizza a favorite food for college students. Nobel Romans was welcomed by students during the second semester. Some of the pizza places students patronize include: Am- brasinis, Village Inn, The Inn Place, Pasquales, Pizza City, Pizza Hut, and Pizza King most of which also had sandwiches. Deep dish lsicilionl pizza was added to the menu's of most of the pizza places in town as well this year. Bacchi's changed ownership resulting in a change in decor with a new rustic look that included chairs and tables of all sizes and appearances. Louise's, The Butcher Shop, and the Goodie Shop, were some of the better places students went to get nutritious food. Terre Haute had still more places for students to eat from nice restaurants to the fast food places, of which some included, El Palacios, Gasthaus, Bramble Bush and the Saratoga. Sirloin Stockade, Ponderosa, and Bonanza were the steak houses that could be found in the Wabash Valley area. Other quick food and restaurants included: Kentucky Fried Chicken, Chicken Unlimited, Churchs Fried Chicken, Dairy Queen, Au-Jut Beef, Heap Big Beef, and Coney Island. For all the night owls Cottage Inn, Waffle House, IHOP llnternational House of Pancakesl, Denny's and the Big Wheel stayed open all night or nearly so. EigOi Q

Th ursday Night ' ar Bu,m,mihq Bar hopping and what's it all about? In Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley lMarshall, lllinoisj there were several places students went to forget about their problems and pressures of college. The newest thing to hit Terre Haute in July was the male Go-Go dancers at Mister Boo's. For a small cover charge women only were allowed into Mister Boo's from 8:30 PM till 10:30 PM, Monday through Thursday nights. The only males in the place were the band, dancers, and the bar tenders. After 10:30 the dancers left and the male customers were allowed to enter. There were some special features besides just watching guys dance around in the briefest of briefs. The world's oldest male Go-Go dancer, a 61 year old, Terre Haute resident, Ernie Nasser entertained as well. The audience was allowed to send notes to the dancers, which ranged from wishful fantasies to just a cordial hello. 30B Hppg L S t 1 i S S S S S E Q S S S t, i i Not sure of what the audience has in mind musically, Mr. Disco , Al Sacharow ask for a request from his D,..I. booth. iS. Kuehlj For those that didn't enjoy watching male Go-Go dancers, Mister Boo's had a live band and dancing after 10:30 PM during the week and all evening Fridays and Saturdays. Bacchi's had something new to offer this year. Under new ownership the place was enlarged and renovated to give a more tranquil atmosphere. A live band was featured, and beer and wine could be purchased. Simrell's and the Ballyhoo, lbetter known as the ballyj, were the old stand bys where Greeks could always be found. Village Inn featured a discothe- que with a D.J, and room to dance. ISU students could almost always find some Rose or St. Mary's students at the Better Half. For the students that preferred a calmer atmosphere, Sheraton lnn's Flain Tree Lounge and Holiday Inn offered dancing and a live band. Closer to campus where lD's were checked and pizza could be en- joyed as well as beer and wine, was the Inn Place. The pizza places and Ambrosini's were the restaurants to go for some food and drinks. Marshall, Illinois, only twenty miles from Terre Haute, was where the under 21 year olds would drink. Leo's and Joe's Corner Bar were the hot spots where ISU students were frequently found. By Thursday students were tired of classes, assignments, and projects, so to get away from the pressures of school-they partied. Thursday was known as the official party night, but for some it was just the first day of a long weekend. Friday classes were often cut, however, professors were aware of the behavior patterns of students. So they often surprised the class with a quiz or took attendance on Friday's. So even if Thursday night was the night to begin a weekend of drinking, students tried to make it to their Friday classes so as not to be penalized by their habitual absences.
