Gregory P. Rogers alking uptown past Campus Center, Skip- perts and the Bagel and Deli Shop was a popular fall pastime for everyone from freshman to senior. For the first several weeks of school, before the weather turned bad and classes became diffi- cult, the Campus Center steps were a late-night hangout for those who wished to indulge in a midnight snack. t' Over the course of any sunny day, the steps were also a popular resting spot for students who had a break in-between classes and needed a place to kill some time. Although many stu- dents made fun of Oxford and the facilities and ser- vices it'offered, many of those same students could often be seen up- town on a Friday or Satur- day night, indulging in a favored activity. Oxford was in many ways a perfect college town, It was just big enough to offer many essential services yet small enough to be fully utilized by every student. El Opening 11

Steven J. Petran rying to bring a dif f erent type of music to Miami, Concert Board presented the Temptations for the Homecoming concert. The group reeled off its hit songs of the 605 including iiMy Girlii and iiPapa Was A Rolling Stone? As with other concerts, however, the show was poorly attended with just over 3,000 fans watching the Temptations in action, barely more than the other first semester concert, the Tubes. Only Bob Hope, here for Parentsi Weekend, sold many tickets when he per- formed in front to a packed house of students and their parents. The Temptations, and its opening act, 19503 star Bo Diddley, presented music that had long been forgotten by contem- porary music fans. Nostalgic sounds emanated from Millett Hall when the group took the stage, playing songs that had become popular again due in part to the success of The Big Chill, a movie which reintroduced America to the music of the 19603.
