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.

14 Plaza Of The America People To Meet. 1) Characters of all sorts could be found on the Plaza which offers a variety of entertainment classes. 2) These two students take advantage of the Florida weather to study on a grassy area under a tree on the Plaza rather than in a stuffy library. The Plaza of the Americans was one of the most unique areas on the University of Florida ' s campus. The Plaza, located on the north side of campus, attracted a diversified crowd to its grassy, tree-shaded grounds. On any given day, a walk through the Plaza could unfold Hari-Krishnas serving free lunch to anyone willing to partake of their generosity, musicians their instruments for those who wanted to listen, Brother Jed and Sister Cindy preaching to everyone, students eating lunch, studying, or just relaxing in the sunshine, or people selling tie- dyed shirts and jewelry. The Plaza was also notorious for the many speakers, politicians, and evangelists that walked the grounds freely speaking their minds to the plaza-goers. The Plaza was one of the best places to just hang-out and enjoy the day. Hari-Krishnas, evangelists, tie-dyed shirts, and musicians were just a few of the wonders of the Plaza that made it such a lively and different part of the University of Florida ' s campus.
