Some were even found at 5 a.m. buying breakfast at Shipley's Donuts in Memorial City. The pizza places probably attracted most of the underclassmen. Paige Holland said. Panjos is fun because everybody goes there and it,s fun to be with everyone. Pipe Organ Pizza. recently opened, also got its crowds. Panjos tastes better. but everyone goes to Pipe Organ Pizza. said Allison Gibson. An atmosphere both casual and formal could be found at I-loulihan's Old Place at the Saks Center. Henry Campo said. I-loulihans is just great. you can go there injeans or take a date there. With all of Houston's fine restaurants. the only trouble a formal-going couple had was deciding which one to go to. '6Brenners is expensive and a little out of the way but it's worth it. David Yapp said. .leremiah's Greenhouse and Billy Shakespeareis offered formal dining and convenient locations. Steve Rowland said. lf you don't get carded at the door. Billy Shakespeare's is real fun. Unfortu- nately. Billy Shakespeare's closed at the end of November. After one had filled his stomach. a quick trip to the nightly theatrical events was not uncommon. Plays and programs such as The Nutcracker offered at Jones I-lall. Miller Theater Under The Stars. and The Collesium attracted many. The ballet C'Nutcracker j was good but it was not as good as the Russians Disa Lewis said. but it was short so it wasn't boring. Also during December. f'The Importance of Being Earnest. by Oscar Wilde. played at the Alley. 'glt was a funny comedy. Denise Doughtie said. about a man named Earnest who caused a mix up of each player's name. After a play the night was still young however. Although a trip to Memorial Park was common. some found the wee hours of the morning an opportune time to seek revenge by wrapping houses and trenching lawns. Sadly. for the most daring. the Yupon Motel rumored to be a place of Night Moves was licked by flames. -30 - f Muljiamirf N UAYIIII will C'l1r1rlr1llc' Pl'L'lIIlt'lXlI.X'l PIZZA AND COKE attracted freshmen too as shown by Amy Bean, Morgan Estes, John Stevano, and Tracy Cernan at Town and Country Panjo's.
