I8 Campus life ...dancing was back in a big way, and ku students were ready to jump and jive. Many KU students were surprised to see their local dance halls turn into swing clubs. The clubs were full of people jiving to modern bands like Squirrel Nut Zippers and Cherry Poppin' Daddies, or even to old big band sounds like those of Glen Miller. Disco was dead, techno was yesterday's news, and even line dancing could not keep up with the swinging times. Swing dancing seems to be the new dance fad, Tesia Hostetler, Topeka senior and co-president of the KU Ballroom dance club, said. Everyone is really enthusiastic about it and you can certainly tell because our class sizes have doubled since last year. Many students at KU took lessons through the university or through various dance studios around Lawrence. My sister and I decided to take lessons because it looked interesting, Tiffany Mohr, Lawrence freshman said. I liked the style of music because it's upbeat but not like the regular hip-hop music. Local clubs took advantage of the swing craze by designating swing nights. I went to the Bottleneck every Sunday night and when I first started going the crowds were fairly small, Audrey Roberts, Leawood freshman said. But as soon as the word got out it started to get a lot more crowded and eventually they had to start moving tables because the dance floor wasn't big enough. Even the students who never quite mas- tered swing dancing could have a good time. Even if you aren't very good at dancing it's still tons of fun trying, Hostetler said. by megan hogan. photos by krystie scott.

EO campus life ...was a priority for corporations hoping to cash in on student spending. by corey peck. photos by corey peck and krystie scott. Coca-Cola had already tapped into the KU market-Coke products were the only bev- erages found on campus. The deal added millions to KU coffers, while a rapidly increas- ing number of corporations hoped to turn the KU campus into a source of profit. I don't see a problem with corporations on campus, lim Kelly, Olathe junior in Busi- ness Commtmications, said. They give the University an opportunity to make some money. A branch of Coinmerce Bank was a new addition, providing more convenient bank ac- cess and handling the monetary value at- tached to the Smart Cards. Smart Cards served as a student's KUID, but could also be used in vending machines around the campus and as debit cards in the bookstores. Some students were inconve- nienced by the monetary value attached to the Smart Cards. I can't use my KUTD to get into my O8zL office anymore, so I have to give them my Drivers' License. l'm always afraid the Infor- mation counter is going to close early and I'll have to leave campus without my license, Kristi Elliott, Garden City sophomore in Iour- nalism and American Studies, said. The trademark Nike Swoosh made no- ticeable appearances at KU athletic events be- cause Nike had an exclusive deal with the Athletic Department. Whether it was admiring the sport teams' Nike uniforms, signing up for a new credit card, or searching for a Pepsi, students expe- rienced the conveniences-and inconve- niences-of life on a campus for sale.
