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

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.

Like many students, Morgan and Skillem relished the opportunity to get out and share good music, good food and good company.

Sometimes it just becomes impossible to get enough HUT EYE With homework, meetings and social activities ABOUNDING, STUDENTS SELDOM ESTABLISH A ROUTINE SLEEPING SCHEDULE i ne professor lectured on and on. Stuggling to stay awake, the weary student doodled in his notebook and watched the clock move much too slowly. Finally, his body no longer contained enough energy to keep his ultra-heavy eyelids open. And now, the student snored in the middle of class. It might have been the lecture on supply- side economics that knocked the student out cold. Or, perhaps the warm temperature in the classroom sent the student off into the next dimension. More than likely; however, the fact the now-snoring student stayed-up until 3 a.m. writing an English paper made it impossible for him to stay awake during the lecture. For most collegians, squeezing time into a busy schedule for the traditional eight-hours, remained an impossibility. Not only did freedom from parents keep students out until all hours of the night and morning, the struggle to maintain a decent grade point average kept the lights burning into the early morning hours in dorm rooms and apart¬ ments. A survey of students living in residence halls, Greek houses and apartments reve aled the average college student slept six to seven hours a night on a regular basis. Few stu¬ dents claimed they slept less than five hours or more than seven. However, a majority confessed they also napped during the day. I just love sleep. It ' s the ultimate escape, said freshman Jay Portman after sleeping for 13 hours. Although most of the students questioned enjoyed a fair amount of sleep, 15 of the 25 respondents wanted more hours of shut¬ eye nightly. However, some were content with the amount of sleep they received. I know that I ' ve gotten enough sleep if I can still function, said freshman Ken Gaines. Not having a scheduled time for sleeping was cited as the biggest reason for not getting enough sleep. Most students said they called it a day between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., and for most, bedtime came when they couldn ' t function any more without getting some sleep. Not surprisingly, an overwhelming majority said their sleeping habits differed signifi¬ cantly at home. At home, students went to bed earlier, primarily due to consideration of their parents and not having as much to do. On the subject of oversleeping, the re¬ sponse was split. A little more than half claimed to oversleep regularly. A resident of Yocum Hall admitted to oversleeping twice a day. A majority of students said they also often dozed during class. Admittedly, staying alert and attentive in a dull classroom environment posed quite a challenge. And in most cases, students gave into their sleepiness rather than fight it. The professor continued to yack on and on. But, unlike in the morning when the alarm clock ordered the uncooperative collegian out of bed, the snoozing student was happy to get-up when the bell rang at the end of class. □ Kim Dineen Tie P though I don’t often fall asleep in (architec¬ ture) studio, when a big presentation is due I spend prac¬ tically every waking moment there, and I just have to take Robert Linn junior SLEEPING The Story Teller
