Shopping mall popular as spare-time hangout arties and dating took a great portion of a young person's time. While it was true that times had changed and the world seemed less pleasant than it did in earlier years, the problems seemed less important when the weekend rolled around. Being with friends or with one special person was very important to some and the weekend brought that sense of freedom that was unobtainable during the school week. Several choices were available. Some chose to go to parties while others selected an entertaining movie and others enjoyed a drag down Douglas or maybe going to some type of sporting event or game. While financing activities seemed to be more dif- ficult, people still found the extra dollars so they could. go out and have a good time. On campus some couples disagreed withthe adminis- trative policies on cuddling and smooching in the halls during school hours. Alternatives included going out for lunch and ducking around corners. Because of increased costs of gasoline, movies and other items necessary for going out, watching television at home became more popular, especially with the availability of severaf cable channels.The popcorn was cheaper, too. For those who were already of legal age, danc- ing at clubs was a popular way to spend an evening. Some of the clubs had regularly scheduled eve- nings for the under-18 crowd. fDavidMcKeel Sundi Frazier, soph., and Vaughn Grey, sr., had modeling jobs outside of regularjobsg Cricket Alley sponsored Sundi and Chess King, Vaughn. 10 Off-Campus Wasting some time at a popular hangout at Towne West, Kelly Corn, sr., wanders around to find some friends who might join him for a movie.

The wire and brackets were very pain- ful for three or four days after they were put on. When they were tight- ened, they hurt for the rest of the day. More and more older people were getting braces, too. When the braces were first seen by the owner's friends and peers, he was subjected to names by those who didn't have them- Metal Mouth, Brace Face, Tin Grin and of course, Railroad Tracks. Braces caused great difficulty for some ofthe many who wore them, Certain foods were not to be eaten, and of course, gum shouldn't be chewed. On an average, most braces were worn anywhere from two to three years. Most students who wore them had only one good thing to say about them.
