Getting Away From It All The calculus test did not go well. Four different papers were due on the same day and there had been better days with the roommate. Where did everyone go to get away from it all? Each one of us had our oum special place to go forget the problems, clear the mind, and relax. Each one of us had a favorite hangout. Of course, some hangouts were more popular than others. No one could agree which hangout was best: each had its oum advantages. The dorm room was a place to just lay the head back and listen to the stereo, catch-up on letter writing, or watch some T. V. The library was the place to study, although that did not always work. For the nature and sunshine lovers, Olin Gardens, Bradley Park, or under a favorite tree in the Quad was perfect. But, as the weather became cooler, the hangouts changed. The Wharf was a place to shoot some pool and munch on some snacks. For food, many frequented Avanti's, Spud 'n' Sub, Mr. Chips, and good old McDon- ald's. Those over 21 enjoyed Lucky Lady, Rocky's, Confetti's, and T.J.'s. Some diligently kept lit at Hausler Hall with a weight or swim workout while others spent time at their Greek House. Finally, it was time to come back to reality and focus on academics, but only until the pressure built up and it was time to get away again. 20

The In Thing To D Tastes in anything from clothes to pastime activities do not always agree and are constantly changing. With this in mind, it is a major modern phen- omenon that certain peer groups manage to temporarily agree on what they like to wear, what they like to listen to, and what they like to do. These fleeting agreements are summed up neatly as fads, Fads last for as short a period of time as a week to as long a period of time as a year. Plone the less, all students managed to participate in these fads of 1984-85 as they came and went. No one could really pin-point just where they began - but the result was an influential part of our lifestyle. The most affected part of this lifestyle was in the clothing we wore. The summer brought with it 1OOOfo cotton, polos in all colors, plastic shoes, walking shorts, dark sun- glasses mth cords, and the perfect tan. Colder weather encouraged plaids in earth-tone color combinations of broums, rusts, marroons, and mus- tards. Winter brought out bulky sweaters, many layers, low-heeled boots, wool coats, and the bob for girls. Guys enjoyed hair above the ears, ties, jazz shoes, more pastels, and Members Only jackets. 'lSwatches, jean jackets, and aerobic shoes also make their debut. Listening to music was always popular. Favorites were Madonna, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Lionel Ri- chie, and Cyndi Lauper. Television viewing included All My Children, Cheers, Airwolf, David Letterman, M-TV, and other cable options. Across campus, Bradley Football jerseys, Brave Waves, Greek letters, and Feed the World tee shirts were prominent. Favorite activities were staying in shape, video game playing, Trivia Pursuit, going to parties and Happy Hours, and drinking. For some strange reason, those last three never seem to go out of style. f? 4 x 4 nag, 'rf---' 4' '7' 'N -vw , 'S IX L.
