CCCC life doesn't stop at sunset by Pat Jordan Classes are over And homework is done: Now what do you do To have some fun? Students at CCCC answered this poetic puzzler by being regular customers at a number of night spots throughout Ark City. Those who preferred to party went to places like The Key and Joes' in Winfield. There was also the Desperadoes Saloon iust north of town, which attempted to draw big crowds by hosting such events as the Miss Legs Contest and Male Stripper Night, featuring a show that attracted more than 200 local women to the Western-style bar, Of course, there were other places that offered more wholesome fun, and one of the newest such places this year was Electroland, a game room that opened in August. Elec- troland provided students a chance to challenge such popular electronic machines as Space Invaders, Defen- der, and Pac-Man. According to Mike Mcllvain, owner of the new establishment, business was hurt when a game room was opened in the lower level ofthe CCCC dormitory. There was a big drop in the num- ber of college kids coming in to play, Mcllvain said, but we kept enough regular customers to stay in business. Mcllvain said that electronic games this year were vastly more popular than the former favorite - pinball. The electronic games pulled in ten times more business than the pinball machines, he said. The old standby is really losing out to modern technology. There were also big changes in the local theater scene. The Winfield Fox expanded into a twin cinema and offered some of the latest Hollywood films, while the Ark Vue Drive-In was shut down because it developed a habit of running X-rated movies on weekends. Only the Bur- ford Theater seemed unaffected. Business went just as well this year as it did the year before, said Maureen Mclntire, assistant manager of the Burford. We haven't ex- perienced any big changes here. Mclntire said CCCC students seemed most attracted by R-rated films, including Body Heat, Ar- thur, and An American Werewolf in London. She also said students seemed to prefer the 9:00 showings over the 7:00 runs. Mclntire said the theater did its best to get the latest or most popular films, but problems sometimes arose. lf we had a request, our booking agent in Kansas City tried to get it for us, she said, but there would oc- casionally be a last-minute scheduling conflict, and we just had to be satisfied with what we got. 6 REPLAYfLivin' It Up BACK AND FORTH - Students often spent some of their free time dragging Summit Street.
