Student Life Despite outside involvement, students maintained school pride and dedication. Students were always busy with school activities, whether it was athletic, academic, or extra-curricular. School activities took up much time from students, but everyone made time for extra-curricular activities. Some activities were affiliated with school such as attending football games at Citizens Field, prac- ticing with the band to put on a great half time show, and, of course, making trips to the library to finish an assignment. After a long day at school, many students went to jobs to help with school expenses, but their minds were always thinking about the night life awaiting them. Whether it was going out on a date, or meeting the gang at the local hangout, Godfather's Pizza, after a winning football game, students kept busy. Although we attended school from 7:45 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., the students carried on the spirit and dedication they had for our side when they were involved in activities outside of school. 19 'UU l Airs- i a My X , Q l2fStudent Life x 1.

Fads Knickers and Rubies' cubes highlighted fads. When each year rolls around, new fads and trends begin. Inside Eastside, the new fashion trends were knee-length knick- ers and camouflage. Lurking in the corridors were all different shades worn almost daily by the student body. In the entertainment field, there were Rubics' Cubes in dif- ferent sizes to combat the boredom of everyday life. Other types of entertainment were the sports trends that come and go every year. One that seemed bound to stay around for a long time was racquetball. Whether in Northeast park or in the University's courts, it seemed as if everyone was involved in it. Soccer was another new sports craze bound to last as long as racquetball. With all the schools starting soccer teams and organizations sponsoring teams, we will see more of soccer in the years to come. A continuing fad was the Rocky Horror Picture Show playing weekend nights at the Royal Park Cinema 4. Having celebrated its third anniversary in Gainesville, the movie seemed to attract more and more followers. Conteracting the preppy trend of the past couple of years was the anti-preppy craze. Characterized by buttons and posters and books, their message came across loud and clear. Slogans like Save an Alligator, shoot a Preppyl' and Love to eat them Preppies were familar sights around campus. Contrasting these sayings were the pro-preppies with their own slogan Preppies need love too. But all kidding was in fun as preppies and anti-preppies got along in '81, Not only inside Eastside but around Gainesville, these trends were very noticeable. In all schools, these fads were the same. From the knickers to Rubics' cube, they made the year fun. 3 14 f Fads
