Indiana: Tradition And Diversity ... at night, Indi- ana holds a personality all its own . . DDwnto ' .vn Indiana, also known as uptown, holds something for ev- eryone from the weekend window shopper to the weekend bar- hopper. During the day, the streets of downtown are filled with busi- nessmen dining for lunch at Isaacs, Culpeppers, the Classroom or Tom ' s, to name a few. Students roam Philadelphia street be- tween classes for that last-min- ute birthday card or school sup- ply, and usually end up making a common stop at the Cashstream machine to re-line their wallets. These features are common of any town, but at night, Indiana holds a personality all its own. For at night, the stores are closed and the bars are open. Diversity is the main attrac- tion for the uptown crowd. For the laid-back sort who like to be able to talk without screaming and perhaps even sit down, H.B. Culpeppers or Coney Island are favorite spots. Culpeppers ' happy hour is littered with students and townspeople alike, all un- winding after a long and tiresome week. For those who are in more of a partying spirit, uptown means Patti ' s, Wolfendales, or the newly reopened Calecos. The loft at Wolfies is always a hot spot, and the dancing crowd can be found every weekend on the floors of Calecos. Although it ' s found far from uptown, students can also enjoy the nightclub atmosphere at Cy- cads, which fills to the walls for dime draft night on Thurdsays. Downtown Indiana also was subject to many changes this year. In February, students and In- diana natives watched Brody ' s, a 7o-year-old department store, close its doors forever. .-Mthough the sales were enough to make even the worst shopper happy, the last department store in the downtown area will be missed by many. —Dana Smith Bill MuhUck Top: Two alumnae are dressed for a night of uptown. . bove: Beer and coolers are not the only things served at a tailgating party.

Relationships— An Important Part Of Life These re- Idtionships . . . have H great hold on us, and make for many memories. Relationships. They aie one of the most important fac- tois in oui ' lives. What would you do without your- hest friend ' . ' Or your boyfriend or girlfriend? Relationships form during the earliest years of life and continue on into the last years of life. Some peo- ple can still lememhei ' their very first friend, as eaiiy as age thiee or four. Everyone lemembers theii- first love. These relationships among other people outside the family have a great hold on us, and make foi ' many memories. The best part of friendship is the memories you share with your friend. The first slumber- party, the first day of school, the first co-ed birthday party where you played Spin the Bottle — memories not to be tr ' aded in in a lifetime. Then as you and your ' friend got older, there was the first split when a boyfriend or girlfriend. came along, whether it was your-s or- your friend ' s. Now there is a differ-ent stage of life. The first love is always some- thing special. Suddenly you ' ve real- ized that the opposite sex isn ' t so bad after all. The novelty of spend- ing time with someone of the oppo- site sex often permeates every area of life. Friends ai-e kind of pushed to the wayside for- a while. Couples have great memories too. How about the first date, the fir ' st prom, the first kiss? Of course, there are arguments, but what about the first time you made up ? Eventually, when the head rush of first love wears off, fr-iends are immediately back in the picture. People can learn to balance their friendships and love relationships. That ' s the best time of life. When you go to college, wherever you may go, you develo[) relationships that will last thr-ought life. Bernie McDonough, a senior in marketing, says about his best friend, We buddy up for- studies and study breaks — drinking and scooping. A senior in journalism, Gayle Schmidt, feels her relationship with her best friend is going to last for a while. It ' s fun and very open, she said. We ' re so opposite, says Leena Petak, a senior in biology education, about her- boyfriend. That ' s why we get along so well, 1 guess. What would we do without our friends? Who could we confide in about our- escapades and our- argu- ments with our- better- halves? And speaking of girlfriends and boy- friends, without them we ' d have no one for formats, date parties and in- timate moments. Relationships are vital, no matter- what age you ar-e. —Ann Thewes Doug Macek Above: Walking to class with the better half. Lefr: Friendships can evolve at all ages— and uith all ages, too.
