student life In between daily stresses and the pleasures of free time, 21,543 students worked toward graduation. • But the diversion of Ladies ' Night at Longhorn ' s, Silverado ' s, Kicker ' s and Porter ' s provided a break for students on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. In between homework assignments, crowds of women formed of the bars to take advantage of the free cover charge and drink specials. • Yet Project Wellness surveys showed students drank less than previously thought. After revealing the study ' s results, the Collegian ' s Campus Fourum received regular responses regarding its accuracy, leaving students between drinking ' s reality and the study ' s statistics. • In between class and work schedules, students made time to play Laser Chaser at Manhattan Town Center. The new business offered students and Manhattan an additional entertainment option. • The Union Bookstore was caught between locations when it closed for four days and temporarily moved Sept. 21-Feb. 1 to the Cats Pause room during its remodeling. The bookstore renovations included the addition of a handicap-accessible elevator that connected the main floor to the textbook section. • Through the changes and opportunities on campus, students were adapting to new situations and hanging on to past routines.• A power cal balloon blacks the evening sun Sept. 9. during Purple Power Play on Poynlz.
