University of Texas Austin - Cactus Yearbook (Austin, TX)

" It ' s a college town. There ' s jple here who are of my own [age group. It ' s like a giant play- ground. Here, I have my own lit- Itle world filled with people my age. " Cammi Vriezelaar, nursing sophomore ' By the late 1970 ' s, a gener- ation ' Looking out for Number 1 ' smerged. With far more leisure Itime, students spent their energy on [jogging and fancy diet schemes, or elab- lorate clothes and discos. " 1979 Cac- |tus Yearbook. What held true then is pretty much Ithe same now. In 1989, UT students [with leisure time had more than enough [places to have fun. " We ' ve got Sixth Street, with some of [the best clubs in Texas; we ' ve got the best music scene around; we ' ve got all ,US1 IN sorts of recreational sports: Lake Travis, Lake Austin and Barton Springs, " Danny Huber, electrical en- gineering junior, said. " And we ' ve got Poi Dog Pondering. What more could you ask? " Students, however, weren ' t the only ones who realized what kind of place Austin was. The city ' s restaurant and club owners knew too well the impact University students had. What could be called the " giant playground syn- drome " meant profits dwindled when students went home for summer vacation and soared when students came back to school. " When all the students come over here, they behave and have a good time, " Agustine Lara, gen- eral manager of Amnizia, said. " We like them, so we treat them good. Without students, there wouldn ' t be much business. " While Sixth Street always offered stu- dents a chance to enjoy the weekends, Halloween Night was a little different: hordes of students, some dressed in cos- tumes, converged just to have fun. " I went to Sixth Street and had a great time just people-watching. There were people dressed from Batman to flashers, " Scott Yarbrough, Plan II sophomore, said. " I didn ' t go into any of the bars, though, because they were so expensive. People get drunk else- where: in a car , on top of the car, un- derground, in an airplane. " Although most regarded Austin as merely the capital of Texas, students who came to the University soon found more than just the workings of gov- ernment. They found a city filled with young people with common interests and a city catering to many of their needs. Watson Fung GALINDO, ANGELINA MARTHA, Roma; Pharmacy.
