—Escaping Captain Food Darting under the table. Valerie Wood takes cover to avoid attack by one of the Dining Hall’s gourmet entrees. The dining hall usually served edible and often good food. However, students often tired of eating roast beef on Sunday, roast beef on Monday, and then some cleverly refabricated form of roast beef on Tuesday. When this happened, many students headed for their cars and raced to their favorite eating establishment in the Greenville area. For those in a hurry, Honey’s Chicken N Biscuits was just down the road. At times when dining hall food did not agree, a buttered biscuit really hit the spot. McDonald’s, Burger King, International House of Pancakes (it’s open late). Flo’s (great ice cream) and Pizza Hut were other alternatives. Frodo’s was a favorite of many pizza lovers. For those special occasions, the Peddler was close and relatively inexpensive. Other places where students indulged in sumptuous food were Bennigan’s, Ruby Tuesday’s. Streamers in the Hyatt, and — if one really wanted to splurge — the Inn at Washington and the Teal Garden. Without even leaving campus, a student could get real food by dialing 2940000 for Domino’s Pizza. Other establishments that delivered dinner included Pizza Station and C-Dub’s. Especially on Sunday nights, students found it easy to round up a few friends and follow their appetites to one of many welcome eating spots in town — or call the I man with the little blinking car and the smell of pepperoni.

Freshman male seeks roommate who is charming, tolerant, intelligent, impeccably neat, who dates a gorgeous girl with many gorgeous friends, and who wears a size 14 shoe. The search for the perfect roommate — does it ever end? For many Furman students, it did. Freshman students got the luck of the draw, rather the luck of Residential Living’s careful planning. Many freshmen really liked their roommates, even when they were total opposites. Freshman Cindy Barrier said of her roommate. “We're opposites, but not to the point where we don’t get along” Freshmen roommates often stuck together in that cold new world of college where they knew no one. They went to meals, football games and movies together and often joined the same social clubs or fraternities. Even though they depended on each other, roommates realized that to stay sane they didn't need to be together all the time. Upperclassmen had the advantage of being able to choose their roommates. Senior Lynn Ney said of her roommate, “We’re very alike. We have the same values and backgrounds. We decided to stay together because we are best friends.” Lynn and her roommate, Karen Abbey, roomed together for four years. The secret to being good roommates seemed to lie in openness and compromise. Sophomore Anna Conner stated, “If one of us irritated the other, we talked about it. All in all, roommates were friends, buddies, shoulders to cry on, biggest fans and pretty neat people! Cindy Green
