Larry Kaufman Expanding More on the Inside sion this year was the passing of the liquor law which allowed uptown bar owners to serve 1i uor by the glass. However, no new ars opened, and High Street in Oxford remained barren. Traditions were formed this year by the Greeks who began new chapters of both a sorority and a fraternity. Panhel chartered the Zeta Nu chapter of Alpha Xi Delta and the Interfraternity Council announced the colonization of a new chapter of Kappa Alpha. .. Miami also expanded its curriculum by establishing a new major - purchas- ing. And becauSe of the large enroll- ment in the business school, extra night classes had to be added to accomodate the heavy class demand from the stu- dents. Both the Take Me Back Old Miami traditions were forwarded with the football team travelling to and. almost defeating Michigan State. And as always, CAC provided the students with the best entertainment. One of the biggest concerts at Miami came when Linda Ronstadt gave her only college performance in her 30-show tour. A biennial tradition started in 1978 reappeared again in 1980 with the Charter Day Ball. The Ball, hosted by President and Mrs. Shriver, held in Mil- lett Hall was one of the most successful events of the year. The packed-to- capacity Millett floor, allowed the stu- dents, faculty, and townspeople to enjoy a night out together. Even the years music emphasized an old Miami tradition as Pink Floydis song ttAnother Brick in the Wall hit number one. ' As interest rates, food prices, and tu- ition continued to rise, and more and more businesses in Oxford found it dif- ficult to survive the seasonal trade, Miami showed that it really did have more on the inside, less on the outside. ' homecoming concert performed by Kenny Loggins and the Charter Day Ball hosted by President Shriver brought thousands of students to Millett Hall for a night to remember.
