The Liberal Educational Series and the Campus Ac- tivities Board provided excellent films which were viewed by students and faculty alike. The residence halls offered coffeehouses and sundae parties which were a big success, especially when Jules and Neuffer were singing. If it was a slow weekend on campus, the students went out to the new establishments all over town. One of the newest attractions, Spanky and Alfalfa ' s, joined the Buckhannon community in late September. For Wesleyan students, it provided a pleasant, rustic at- mosphere for socializing and entertainment. Another new attraction which opened in November was the Cinema Showbar. Students enjoyed the contemporary look and atmosphere of the Cinema. The Bobcat Lounge, located in the Bicentennial Motel, has long been seen as an old standby. The place to go when there was nothing else to do. Contrary to this belief, the Bobcat Lounge gained popularity. The Bobcat had a new sound system and disc jockey booth which played the newest disco and Rap music. The Center, like the Bobcat, was another old standby. It provided an atmosphere for socializing and good times with good friends. The Center best portrayed the easy- going lifestyle of the Buckhannon community. Heaven Only Knows, which was a part of the Cheshire Cat had an atmosphere unlike any place else in Buckhannon. In the tradition of the Cheshire, it was both unique and vibrant which kept people coming back for more good times. So now if anybody asks you what are you going to do tonight? — you have several good answers. WHO EVER SAID THAT ONE CANNOT FIND ANYTHING TO DO IN BGCKHANNON? 15

NIGHT LIFE What are you doing tonight? used to be a question dreaded by students as they walked down the sidewalk on a Friday afternoon. Mainly, because students viewed the College and surrounding community as a place to learn and nothing more. However, Buckhannon ' s night life has changed. More students are making use of ac- tivities on campus. Students are also going to some of the establishments which have popped up in the Buckhannon area. The students have realized Wesleyan is not just a place to study, and they began to enjoy the various ac- tivities which were provided. Throughout the year, the Benedum Campus Center offered a wide range of enter- tainment, from bowling to Casino Might. Many students took advantage of the great sporting events which were held in the Rockefeller Gym. In- tramural basketball and volleyball games provided a great outlet for the pressures of classes during the week. The indoor Soccer Tournament gave the students and community a chance to see the soccer players in a dif- ferent playing field than usual. The soccer team proved it could win just as easily on an inside field. The basket- ball team showed the members of the Wesleyan family some exciting court action which brought out the frater- nities, sororities, and independents. The Rockefeller Gym was also the stage for the Mar- shall Tucker Band, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and the phenomenal Airband Concert. T f CINEMA fill IE,, 14
