he bar scene typified student life at Miami. Reputed to con- sume more beer per capita than any other school, Miamiis uptown bar district was packed every weekend of the school year. Along this same vein, Graffitiis, a bar with a dance floor, opened in the fall giving students the chance to socialize and dance to their favor- ite music. McDonaldis opened in the fall, also, and it im- mediately became a hit with Miami students. Opening day for the franchise was the busiest ever in the worldwide chainis history. In addition to new res- taurants, everyone in Ox- ford had to face the an- nual water shortage in the late summer and the early fall. Returning to school in the fall just would not be the same without it. 1983-84 was no dif- ferent from any other in Oxford where the years seemed to fade one into another in the memories of all involved. Students partied, drank beer and occasionally even stu- died for exams at Miami as they always have, and it seemed always would. Bernie Woytek Student Life 25
