Above, Howard carries on the Beal enterprise established by his father-in-law, Walter Beal. Beal ' s continues as off-campus tradition Established in 1939, Beal ' s Grill, located on 24th and California, has resisted the furious flow of time. The warm and friendly atmosphere resembles a small town cafe where the community gathers for a cup of coffee and the day ' s gossip. There exists a powerful attraction at Beal ' s that has brought the professional students back for 40 years. Howard Fielder, the 1979-80 proprietor, told newcom- ers that his restaurant is full of liars and mouth plum- bers, body wreckers and pill pushers. There was usu- ally a loyal patron of Beal ' s to translate this into law, dentistry, medical and pharmacy students. Fielder had an active interest in Creighton and its students. He loved being close to campus because that ' s where all your fun is. Almost every student visits Beal ' s at least once during his or her college career. Beal ' s Grill has been a stalwart neighbor to Creighton ' s campus, and was likely to remain so for years to come. Student Life - 19

■i i ( ' ! Blue Jay expands after first year Due to a successful first year, the Blue Jay Bar ex- panded to nearly twice its previous size. The expansion included a party room complete with a fireplace downstairs which students could rent for private parties. Upstairs the new addition has a more cozy atmos- phere, says bartender and Creighton student Rick Schilling. Owner William Archibald employed a number of Creighton students. This year two Halloween parties were held at the Blue Jay. Prizes of $25 and $15 were awarded to first and second place winners of the costume contests. Enthusiasm for the Benkathon was generated at the Kick-off party at the Blue Jay. Throughout the year beer distributors sponsored parties, drawings and specials on drinks. The Blue Jay ' s proximity to campus was ideal for students who wanted to relieve the pressures of studying.

Above right, students file in for depositing their emptied dishes. Saga expands for increased students A main part of student life on campus was Saga food service. Increased enrollment brought more students to the cafeteria. One way to accommodate the number of people was an additional cafeteria in the Palms dormitory. Piers Banks, food service director said Saga was able to handle the increased number of students. The menus are basically the same and the in- creased enrollment didn ' t cause the food service to suffer, said Banks. Each year Saga employs students to help prepare and serve meals. This year there were over 150 stu- dents who earned extra money in their spare time working for Saga. 20 - Student Ufe
