Wichita offered a variety of places to go and things to do when the weekend finally rolled around. Game rooms such as Video Villa, LaMans and Shane's Game Room provided an at- mosphere for excitement and challenge. Students found themselves with some extra time, usually found themselves competing with friends to get the high score on popular video games such as Donkey Kong, Ms. Pac Man and Galaxians. Movies were a popular choice for many students, and with Tuesday night being 99 cent night, most took advantage of it and saw hit movies such as Screwbalff, Toomkz, and Spring Break. Whether one went with a group of friends, or went with a date, movies proved to be one of the most en- joyable forms of entertainment. Several popular rock groups, including REO Speedwagon, Styx and Van Halen, as well as famous Country-Western Singer Hank Williams,jr. performed in the Kansas Coliseum and Henry Levitt Arena. Concerts provided students with live entertainment throughout the year and were just another way for them to enjoy themselves and have a good time with friends. Clubs such as Pogo's, King Arthur's and Pooh Bear's provided an atmosphere for those over 18 to enjoy. Many local clubs featured live entertainment and had dance floors. Tuesday night was Ladies Night at the Stadium and offered free drinks for all of the females if they paid a cover charge at the door. Gathering with friends at the clubs gave everyone a chance to share pro- blems, current happenings or favorite topics. Extra-curricular activities were plentiful. Dances, athletic events, concerts, dramas and special programs provided something to do during a week night or weekend. Whether students went to the movies or a concert, played video games or just hung around at their favorite hang-out, most en- joyed the night life Wichita had to offer them and took advantage to go out and have a relaxed evening.
