THE BOTTOM LINE TACO VILLA HAVEN OUT TO LUNCH. During C lunch juniors S.uah Moyer and Aimee Lawrence munch down on bean burritos. (Photo by Lane English) DAY OR NIGHT Nestled in the southwest part of Lubbock sat the haven, the social center of the teenagers' Friday night. You were always sure where everybody would be at, and it w as a great place just to hangout, senior Brad King said about the Taco Villa on Indiana. Also serving as a popular lunch spot, the Villa was the unofficial nightspot after football games, dances, movies or just cruisin' around. Bean burritos, ap- ple burritos, ham n egg burritos and french fries were the favorite menu items. So popular was the Villa that the management hired a security guard. The Villa attracted Peons like tardy students to detention hall. It's the one place that you can go and just sit around and talk to your friends, junior class secretary Christi Watt said. Lubbock isn't a very exciting town to begin with, but the Villa is fun enough to liven-up a weekend, sophomore Keith Mann said. Jeans enhance natural wonders, attract wild-eyes stares A heavy silence fell over the hallway as the subject of attention strolled leisurely by. With almost clockwork preci- sion each pair of eyes focused on the celebrated departure — each with hopes of viewing the per- fect pair of jeans wrapped tightly around the perfect body. The silence remained as most held back the urge for a second viewing by the natural wonder. While most en- joyed the show, many were far too dignified to over- indulge in this form of earthly pleasure. It was bun- watching time. Those 501's, wow! NOW CUT FOR WOMEN NELSONS REVIVE LINDSEY The largest theater bet- ween Dallas and Los Angeles was Lindsey Theater's claim to fame when it first opened in 1940. And The Nelsons, who won the MTV Basement Tapes last year, saw fit to rennovate and reopen the downtown theater in 1985. Basically we just want to keep the doors of the Lindsey open. We're really trying to create something very unique, Doug Nelson, public relations manager tor The Nelsons, said. The Nelsons co- sponsored a Halloween concert with The Electric Ear. High school bands competed and call-in vote winners Rat Salade and Tormenter opened for The Nelsons. Not as many people showed up as they ex- ected, senior Don IcGurn said. Only 150 fill- ed the 1,000 seat theater. Tom Prather, owner of The Electric Ear, said. We hoped to provide a good time on Halloween. TRIVIA: Where was the first prom? ANSWER: Seventy-three couples danced to the music of the Kingsmen Combo in the band hall to the theme My Blue Heaven. Tickets were $2.50, and Carolyn Porter was the first prom queen. STUDENT LIFE

iN THE COUNT OF THREE. Wailing for four tort whistles, band members Heather Robin- n and Tom Miller tick off the seconds to march ti the field. (Photo by Ru» Luther) Cold kills crowd Losses turn exes away Freezing cold made the homecoming game not as successful as in the past. A losing season kept away most exes that usually attend homecom- ing festivities. v'We were really disappointed at the loss to Coronado and just decided not to go to homecoming ' Tyson Hodges, ex-football player said. The homecoming court arrived as usual atop sleek corvettes, pro- vided by Tne Lubbock Corvette Club. Tne court of Mindy Ander- son, Kathy Armstrong, Nessa Bran- don, Kelly Damron, Kim Davis, Christy Hagood, Kristin Kaiser, Karla Keesee, Kristy Kitchens, Anne Lowry, Jana Miller, and Denise Robnett,were escorted onto the field by their fathers. Hagood came out smiling as she was crowned aueen. As the Vetts took their leave, so did most of the fans. There probably weren't over ten peo- ple left in the stands after the third quarter, Holli Hastings, band member, said. People started showing up at the video dance right as the third quarter ended. The video dance was a new idea that didn't go over too well because the price was too high. Halftimes were a bit different as the band worked out difficult routines to the STAYING WARM.

In the locker room at halftimes,there was a totally different attitude. That at- titude was serious; it was a time for in- spirational talks, yelling, and reforming plays. ANOTHER WILD BUNCH. Confetti and streamers lay in piles at the feet of fans before the game against Lubbock High starts. (Photo by Steve Bringle) SPIRIT JB
