Places To Go Over the years, the University of Florida picked up a reputation as a school, once named one of the best by Playboy. However, the has tried to replace that image with an Ivy League image.

On weekends, parties were Many had kegs on the back porch and invited anyone within to join them. ' The Purple Porpoise Oyster Pub was full to capacity almost every weekend night, and usually drew a large crowd 0 during the week. During the football season, CJ ' s House was the most commonly vis- ited bar in town. The celebrations after the games often included beer fights, and after a few hours there everyone was standing or dancing on the tables. For those who enjoy dancing, Central City was the biggest attraction. Dub ' s also offered a dance floor along with the traditional Thursday night Mini-Skirt Contest. Club 210 and Jubilations were also very popular, catering to the large under-21 crowd. For those who pre- ferred more progressive and unusual music, the Bar was the place to go. — John Webster Getting carded at CJ ' s is part of all the fun, especially when the bouncer decides that you ' re legal.

Things To Do As the sun rose and the Century Tower bells rang out, the campus came to life. The students the campus hurried to get to their first period classes. At the Plaza of the Americas, were laying out in the bright sun studying, talking or relaxing. Some found that the plaza was the perfect place for a nap. The doors of the Reitz Union swung back and forth constantly as students ran errands — cashed checks, bought stamps, got haircuts or finished typing papers. Some students rushed in just in time to catch their favorite soap operas on the big screen TV or to pick up a quick snack to tide them over between classes. Others enjoyed going to music listening room to relax or study, while others played ping-pong and pool in the games area. Near the rock at Turlington Hall, students hung out between classes to read the Alligator and to talk to friends about classes, exams and weekend plans. A 5 pm most students were through with their classes for the day. Campus streets were jammed as off-campus and campus employees headed for home. Scattered across the campus, a few unlucky students hurried off to their evening classes. Another day had ended . . . and night had just begun. — Ursala Flecha 1) The GPA (Turlington) rock and its base before the bench — make a great place to read the Alligator and talk to friends between classes. 2) The wall near GPA makes a great place to hangout and meet friends. 2) E.
