Are left over chicken strips getting you down? Tired of soggy ice cream sandwiches? The Greater Lafayette area offers many alternatives to campus meals. Whether it’s a light snack or a five course meal, ethnic or American, sweet or salty, one’s palate can be satisfied. Within walking distance. a Sunday night meal, midnight snack, or a place for a dinner date can be found. In the residence halls, fraternities. sororities, and cooperatives, at least one weekend dinner is not served. How do most students with or without cars remedy this? Yes. with deliveries! Not only do approximately thirteen pizza parlors around campus deliver, but also Kentucky Fried Chicken, Chicago Subs, and Hardee’s. If ethnic food is desired, though, it’s only a short walk to Chauncey Hill Mall. At Chauncey there’s the ever famous Taco Bell for the Mexican mood, Garcia’s for Italian food. The Parthenon for Greek cuisine, and if Chinese is the want, the newly opened Egg Roll Express is happy to provide. Let’s not forget, though, the All-American McDonalds, located just east of Chauncey Hill. What do most students do when midnight rolls around, the study blues set in, and the growling stomach is louder than the stereo? They either run down the stairs with $1.25 in hand and flag down the nearest Noble Roman’s Pizza truck to gorge on breadsticks, or make an ice cream run. Penguin and The Country’s Best Yogurt not only offer cool, frozen treats with a slew of items that can be mixed in. but also offer a break from campus and the pressures of studying. It’s 2:30 a.m. on a Saturday night, the parties are dwindling. and the dazed look has set in. Then, all of the sudden. the urge to chow down takes over. This craving can be satisfied by a number of eating places on campus. Often, a mad dash is made for Triple XXX, otherwise know as Tri-Chi. for the Duane Purvis All-American, a Bar- ney Burger, or a Black and Gold Sundae. Hardee’s and Arby’s are also frequented at ail hours of the weekend nights to relieve the midnight munchies. For special dates, options range from an informal pizza at Garcia’s to a dressier dinner of lobster and steak at Mountain Jack's. Chi Chi’s is also a popular place for couples to go on dates. Of course, those who have access to a car have a wider selection of restaurants. All in all, Lafayette and West Lafayette provide students with quite a variety of places to eat. Whether a meal or a snack is wanted, surely it can be found on or near campus. — Stephanie Grubb P. Sicgfrxxl Jim Button and Bob Gassel enjoy a burger and a Coke at Triple XXX. Eating at Triple XXX has become a tradition for Purdue students. 16 Eating Places

How’s your day going? Going about our average activities in an average day Were you afraid to attend a large university for fear of being “nothing but a number?” As a freshman, did you wander through a nameless crowd praying to see a familiar face? Yet. after being here for a few semesters, each of us finds our own nook, making Purdue not so huge after all. Through experiences in housing units, classes, and social activities, we find that this seemingly mammoth school is made up of many unique individuals. Nevertheless, because of the size of our student body, even the most outstanding, A favorite way to waste time is to skim through magazines at the Stewart Center candy counter well-known student can be reduced to a mere statistic. Jim Everett, star quarterback, is no more than the 6,073rd name on Purdue's registrar. As each of us goes about our typical day — going to classes, stopping for a Coke at the Sweet Shop, or reading the Exponent — we are contributing to the unique personality that makes up Purdue University. In just one average day here: Approximately 3,266 other classes are going on besides the one you’re sitting in; you buy one of 1,700 16 oz. soft drinks sold at the Sweet Shop, and are one of the average of 124 people sitting, gossiping ... and scoping; you sit among 87 others on the mall listening to Max; at least 20,000 other Exponents are read besides the one you stole from your roommate; the person of your dreams that you've been scoping out at the undergrad library is the object of one of the average 42 personals in a typical Exponent dedicated to the one I love. You most likely eat one of the 270 meals served in campus housing in one day; you are among 38 other people sleeping in the Stewart Center Lounge (at least 12 of them snoring); 2.989 others are also cramming for an exam they have that evening, spending an average of 3.5 hours studying for it; if you are into fitness, you are among the average 5,000 students who use the Co-Rec facilities each day. and perhaps are surrounded by 163 others huffing and puffing at an aerobics class (give or take the several guys that come in from the basketball court to scope); and when stopping in Triple XXX after a night of partying, you can expect to be joined by at least 23 other late-night snackers. Although we don’t realize it. every little activity the 26.250 undergraduate students on campus does constitute an important part of what makes Purdue what it is. — Julie Weltz What would Purdue Students do without the Sweet Shop to quench a student’s study break (or “gossip break”) needs?
