One of the popular Dickson Street hangouts was The Grill. Amy Salomo worked at the restaurant 30 hours a week during school, often wishing she was hanging out instead of working.

Busy schedules made busy students, BUT PRECIOUS FREE TIME WAS USED WISELY FOR EVERYTHING FROM SLEEPING TO SHOPPING Spare time — most college students didn ' thave much of it. The law of supply and demand proved true when free time was concerned — the less time one had, the more one wanted. If a student didn ' t have enough free time, he craved it, or even created free time by skipping class. Between school and working at Harp’s, the spare time I did have was spent catching up on my sleep. Nothing was as important as sleep, not even missing a few hours of school, said senior Larissa Utley. According to most collegians, free time and procrastination went together like salt and popcorn. To make free time, students frequently postponed studying, housework and other tasks to relax. Procrastinating students often shopped at the mall, watched television, talked on the telephone or even took a walk to escape from the demands of school. After a week full of stress, it was nice to know that quality time at the mall and a few Acting like they were little girls when mom surprised them with a treat of bubbles, Sandra Hudson and Anja Rowe find time to giggle and relieve some stress during finals week in May.

It was also a great way to spend what spare time I had between school, yearbook and my job peddling videos at Harp ' s in Springdale. Even with occassional blow-off after¬ noons, days or weekends, most students complained of not having enough spare time. What free time? sophomore Teri Jones said when discussing what she did with her free moments. Jones ' response was echoed by several other students. Jones said that when she did have the chance she enjoyed driving and taking pictures of the scenery. Freshman Phillip Reid said he spent his time, drinking or playing with his com¬ puter. Although most denied it, some students spent their free time daydreaming like junior Dorothy Selig. I dream of the riches to be attained after college with my degree, she said. With such a high demand for free time, and such a small supply, students paid a high price for a few moments they could call their own. □ Liz Vanzant

All kinds hang¬ out at The Grill We have our share of students, business people and everyone to Don Tyson. It ' s interest¬ ing to work here be¬ cause of the wide varieti of custom¬ ers. Amy Salomo senior If you can ' t find anyone at home, chances are YOUR FRIENDS ARE OUT HAVING A GOOD TIME AT ONE OF Fayetteville ' s favorite party spots Classes are over. The library is closed. The Union is deserted. And, the campus is dead. It ' s 11 p.m., do you know where your roommate is? Chances are, if your roommate was an average collegian, he could be found hanging out with friends at one of the local college haunts. Granted, not all students went out on weeknights, some actually studied and went to bed early, but some students liked to escape from it all with good music, good food and good company. For those who escaped the academic routine, options were as diverse as the University ' s 14,000 students. Junior Daron McAfee called Fuzzy ' s, located on Mt. Comfort Road, her retreat away from home. I like Fuzzy ' s because the atmosphere is comfortable, the food is delicious, and my friends like to relax there with a pitcher of beer, McAlfee said. Also citing a casual atmosphere, junior Tim McCuin frequented Cafe Santa Fe. In addition to the atmosphere, I like the Santa Fe because all my friends go there, and their margaritas are great, McCuin said. Some late-nighters preferred to dance rather than just talk with friends. Although there was a wide selection of dance clubs in the Fayetteville area, according to students, two of the most popular dance spots were Mardi Gras, located on North College, and The Old Post Office, located on the Square. Mardi Gras was well-known for its quarter beer night and flaming fishbowls. I go to the Gras because they play good music and drinks are cheaper, said sopho¬ more Jess Leopard. However, according to senior Dion Black, Mardi Gras draws a slightly younger crowd. I go to the Old Post Office because I like to dance and the atmosphere is more adult- oriented. Mardi Gras is more of a Greek hangout, Black said. Senior Greg Calhoun also preferred the Old Post Office. The OPO plays better music, he said. If club goers didn ' t like the type of music that Mardi Gras and the Old Post Office played, they might have joined junior Scott Packnett and sophomore Scott Morden at Doc Murdocs. I like country music, and Doc Murdock ' s is one of the few places that plays it, Pack¬ nett said. Both Morden and Packnett believed the people at Doc Murdocs were also nicer. Oddly enough, students favored Thursday night as their party night. A lot of people go home on the weekends, so they go out on Thursday nights. Besides, drinks are cheaper, sophomore Jim Duelmer explained. With plenty of night spots there were plenty of places for students to visit in Fayetteville after the library closed, c lasses were finished and the campus was dead. Most visited a favorite hangout and let their roommates come looking for them. □ Lisa Young HANGOUTS Life
