Eating-A time for food ood. It was a doughnut wolfed down between get- ting up at 7:45 and making it to an 8 o'clock class. Or, it was an excuse for going to the caf three times a day, more to so- cialize than to gluttonize. Of- tentimes it was the means, meth- od and manner of celebrating birthdays, taking a break from the books, or just having a good time with friends. Foodwise, the noteworthy event this year was that more people than ever chose to ingest the bulk of their daily caloric intake at the caf. In its sec- ond year of catering service to the College, Shamrock had worked out the kinks of feeding the W8rM student body and featured sev- eral new meal plan options, break- fast and dinner at the Wigwam, soft ice cream and special holi- day buffets. As a result, the food service attracted more board- ers than it could handleg over one hundred non-freshmen were placed on a waiting list until Shamrock could accommodate them. The majority of upperclassmen still cooked for themselves. Anyone walking through the halls of Monroe or Chandler at 6 p.m. could have verified this, as his nostrils were teased with a tan- talizing array of culinary aromas. Cooking provided one with numer- ous facts and lessons, such as learning a hundred and one ways to combine ground beef and toma- to sauce, and discovering the bargain to be found in buying A8zP's day-old bread. Eating out was popular with everyone. McDonald's found a formidable rival in the newly opened Wendy's, as many students opted for a Thick 'n Juicy or a Big Mac rather than take their chances with the cafeteria's Mystery Mound with gravy. There TOP: While the food isn't always tops, the cafeteria remains a popular place for eating, socializing, relaxing. RIGHT: Friday afternoons finds the super- markets full of students like Kathy Sull- ivan doing their shopping for the week. 76fFood was always a line of hungry peo- ple waiting when George's opened for dinner every evening at five. With daily student specials and a friendly setting, the small restaurant provided plenty of good food which was within both walk- ing distance and a college student's price range. Sal's and Pizza Hut vied for the distinction of serving the best pizza in town, while local delis waged a series of price wars, much to the con- cern of their patrons. A 15- cent hike in the price of a deli sandwich became a major topic of discussion on campus. Special occasions called for something more. At these times, Sunday brunch at the Cascades was a delectable way to celebrate a birthday or welcome in the hol- iday season. The colonial res- taurants were favored places when parents came to town and for taking a girl out for a spec- ial evening lit by the soft glow of candles and the last rays of the sun striping the polished wood floors.

BELOW RIGHT: The post office bulletin hoard shows a melange of rides Qfferedfneeded. Weelcend escape here were times when every W8zM student felt that, if he spent one more weekend amidst books, room- mates and tourists, he would go bananas. For most Vir- ginians, a weekend at home was the answer, as family, good food and attention were only several hours away. The pro- mise of seeing one's boyfriend, attending an away ballgame or taking in a concert gave many a reason to visit other state schools. Finding transportation was generally no problemg chances were good for grabbing a ride with someone heading in the same direction as you, and buses were conveniently scheduled for weekend trips. While most out-of-staters had to be content with an occasional day at Virginia or a week- end home with an in-state roommate, some took advan- tage of the daily train northward to visit parents and friends. Others found that splitting the cost of a rental car four ways was even less expensive and enabled one to leave earlier and stay longer, thus getting the most out of a student's down-trodden existence.
