photos by Bo Rader Student Life the coastal beaches, the urban and the rural farming areas, over 19,000 students filter into the Manhattan community. But, the geographic backgrounds are not the only differing characteristics. Each K-State varies in attitudes, activities and even attire. Some students dress in izod sweaters, blazers or skirts, while others can be found in everyday blue jeans. Whatever the difference, K-State students are bound together by the heartland rhythm. 12:20 Rush- Between lecture courses, the halls and sidewalks are flooded with students. Some leisurely stroll while other students hurry to make it from the Union to Ackert in ten minutes. FTD Florist?- Capped by the increasingly popular winged hat, a student listens to the live entertainment at the fall festival, held on the lawn west of Weber Hall. The Oct. 3 event featured Southern Comfort, Celebration and The Clocks. student life 11

3 buckles back wherever John Travolta goes, the nation seems to follow. From the staccato beat of disco in the film Saturday Night Fever, he has led us also to the alternative sound of country and western in the movie Urban Cowboy. Though he may not have been a success in some of his movie ventures, he can be credited for influencing our tastes in sound, step and style. Finally, there is an alternative to disco where everyone can just be themselves, whether they aspire to be the Urban Cowboy or not. It ' s now cool to be in a bar wearing something (most likely denim), probably held up by an oakleaf engraved leather belt with a name on the back, sporting a big, shiny, silver buckle. And the feet can finally relax — replacing the spike heels with something flat and heel-stomping solid. A few years ago, I wouldn ' t have been caught dead wearing a pair of cowboy boots. But I found out that they ' re some of the most comfortable and practical things you can put on your feet, Denise Gatzoulis, junior in business administration said. Even if a person doesn ' t plan to break bucking broncs wearing elephant- or ostrich- hide boots, one can probably find another suitable way to put them to use. Like spikes found their home in the hustle, boots can glide into the two-step or Texas swing. With hair flying and boots shuffling, Whip ' er around —Sheryl Russell, senior in secondary education, and Brian Keith, sophomore in animal science and industry, swing dance in the Rockin ' K. couples can twist their bodies into strange contortions such as the pretzel or windmill. Even without the urge to swing, one can sit and pretend to cool off with a couple of beers. As one sips, the tunes of Waylon and Willie, Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle, Red Steagall, and the Oakridge Boys vibrate from the jukebox. Bands in Manhattan please the crowds with the country and western beat, getting whoops and hollers, replacing snapping fingers. The homier atmospheres have been more popular places for these activities. Rockin ' K and Cowboy Palace draw the crowd demanding more than just a little bit of country. Brother ' s Non-Disco isn ' t always country and western, but is certainly what it advertises. Another bar sporting country notes is Enoch ' s Tavern, where the beer ' s cheap and the atmosphere ' s different than Aggie, Dale Richardson, senior in electronical engineering technology, said. As the night wears on, cowboys, their dress inspired by the movie Urban Cowboy, still come through the doors to try the swinging thrill or just to relax. Nevertheless, they defy the words of Willie Nelson, as he sings and advises their mammas, don ' t let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Cari Cavassa photos by Criag Chandler
