Angie Waters seemed to think that Steve Rop- er's conversation was really disgusting. Paradise By The Dashboard Lights Being caught by a policeman while parking, didn't have enough money, and spilling steak sauce all over my girlfriend, were just a few of the em- barassing incidents Chapman stu- dents had while on a date. These were answers to a survey taken by the yearbook staff. The survey also revealed that most students went to a movie or a resturant on a date. But a few brave people mentioned that they watched the submarine races at Milliken's duck pond. The majority felt that it was in good taste for the girl to ask the guy out for a date. When asked if it was all right to date underclassmen, a huge 87.3% said yes. Inflation did not seem to hurt the dat- ing habits of the students. The survey showed that most students spent be- tween eleven and twenty dollars on a date. This got to be expensive for the 35.1% who dated an average of six to ten times each month. But if money was a problem, one could always go to his or her date's house for a home-cooked meal or just to watch television.

It was followed by Westgate Mall, the first totally enclosed shopping center in Spar- tanburg. Greenville offered such malls as Greenville and Haywood Malls. Pointing out the virtues of a shopping mall, Mrs. Donna Brock explained why she shopped at tVesf- gete Mall. The great attraction of the malls was the ease with which a person could shop. One could walk from store to store with- out fear of getting wet or cold during bad weather. Shopping malls also provided arcades, bazaars, and entertainment by such celebrities as Gene Kelly, Peter Nero and the Dallas Cowboy Cheer- leaders. These attractions, along with the thou- sands of possible purchases a person could make, continued to attract every- one to the shopping malls. Shopping Malls 27
