(Steve Ginn) After a busy day enriched with various events, many students bagan to unwing right after the ten o ' clock news. But, for some late nightcrs, their evening was just beginning. No longer could the phrase early to bed, early to rise... be appropriate for most college students at KU. Night life was a world of its own, being quite different than day. Tim Patterson, senior, said, I like to do my grocery shopping late at night, especially at Super Dillons. It ' s great to walk around and pick the items I want with ease. Also, the lines are a lot shorter. Late night was a time when stu- dents could be more laid back and the atmosphere was very peaceful. Often students jogged, walked or took strolls with their special someone. Sometimes, my boyfriend and I like to take walks and look at the stars. It ' s a great time to break away from busy schedules, and have time for ourselves, said Shirley Braunlich, sophomore. If walking and jogging still wasn ' t enough to release some tensions, perhaps drinking and dancing did. Besideds the weekend, Thursday was a great night for partyiung, and hav- ing a good time with friends. Dancing and cocktails helped some students ease the pain of calculus, chemistry and accounting classes, at least for a while. Marie Sibley, senior said, Perkins is a good change of scene to sit and study. It is comforting to see others studying, then you don ' t feel so alone.

There were still other students who had to work grave yard shifts at work. I enjoy my job, but sometimes, it ' s hard to stay up because I have 8:30 classes, Monday through Fri- day, said Richard Brown, junior. Brown was a security monitor at Lewis Hall, and said that he saw all types of people and found out who all the party animals were. Whatever a student chose to do with his or her evenings, Lawrence had a diverse array of things to do, from entertainment to dining, to working.-by Regina Lazaro 13

It s a place to catch up on the weekend gossip. Karla Bauman, Sioux City, IA sophomore. Wescoe Beach not only provided entertain- ment and socializing for students, but it also sparked creativity, in some students as shown by this chair sculpture. (Alan Lehman) Finding a quiet place to study could some- times be a peoblem, but Chris Mann, KC, Ks. freshmen studying at Wescoe Beach one fall evening. (Alan Lehman) It ' s a place where everyone hung out at least once while at KU. There was nothing extraordinary about it, it was just a place centrally located on campus that just about everyone passed by sometime during the day. The place was called Wescoe Beach. For many organizations, it was the perfect place to set up a booth to let the students know they existed. It was a place for voters to vote for student senate elections, or the best looking legs. It was the place the calendar girls were sold and the place school t-shirts were sold. It was a meeting place for all organiza- tions on campus. Wescoe Beach was also a place for entertainment. You could go there and listen to preachers preach, singers sing and musicians play. You could also go there to watch people, whether they were juggling, hackeying or stacking chairs. You 14
