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

If Only You Knew What You Were In For .. Go ahead a take it out, dust it off, try it on. A little tight, a little worn, possibly patched, stained and soiled? Good oli Freshman Year a that univer- sal event, phase, stage or dimension that secures lor in- securesl everyone at least once. Remember thinking slant walk was a term for a drunken state, Harryis was a classy din- ing joint uptown and the Res a what was the Res? And how many of us actually knew how to do laundry? lDid whites mean it had to be completely white?i As a freshman you had a lot to learn. Some things, could be taught - for instance, like learning how not to walk across the hub before your first exam so you wouldnt fail it. You also learned the easiest way to break vis, and where to stash all the empty Little Kings. Slowly you figured out how to carry your backpack by one strap over one shoulder, and how to get on the best side of your R.A. e or out of sight of your R.A. Buying the most amount of food for the least amount of money became an art a SDS had specials on Monday, the Bagel and Deli Shoppe gave away free quarts of Pepsi with a coupon a it didnt take long to work out a system. Then there were the things you couldnit really be taught. You slowly realized that as a freshman you were the only one walking around with a map to your classes. if your phone was iion that meant on campus a not just working. And no one could have taught you what a unique experience rushing lfor both sororities and fraternitiesl would be. There were apprehensions to deal with, too. Memories of moving in as a freshman were universal. No one will forget the first time they entered that stark, empty land incredibly tinyl dorm room and thought iilim supposed to make this my home? But you soon learned to do just that. High school pictures, favorite post- ers and the essential luxuries la TV, a refrigerator, munchiesl soon made it feel like home. As friendships devel0ped and college life became the norm, one day we all looked around and said to ourselves iii made it! lim a bona fide college stu- dent. Until that day arrived, most generally felt lost and looked stupid. In fact it was expected of you. Being a freshman was the best excuse in the world. Granted there were a lot of things to learn as a freshman and at the end of the year you had a right to feel just a little bit worldly. After all, a dining hall menu was interpreted and discarded at a glance; the best looking delivery boys were well known and the slant walk was a drunken state. At the end of the second semester, freshman year was folded and packed away, ready for the proverbial graduation speeches, the brunt of many jokes or the topic of yearbook articles - the fate of every good freshman year. D Anne Kelly Right: Moving all the necessities of life into a 10x12 room, shared with another person was an interesting operation, at the best. At worst it was a major headache caused by efforts to find electrical outlets for radios, Wis and hair dryers while keeping the other furniture out of the center of the room.
