Love in the air One of the most popular places to take a date was to a Razorback football game. Students dressed for the occasion with their Sunday finest. At the Tulsa game, Mike Blaylock, sophomore, and Moncia Fannin, junior, enjoy the first football game of the season. D. ALLEN PHOTO ♦ GREEK DATING. The fraternities and sororities sponsored functions allowing students to invite dates. Junior Carrie Borecky and date Eric Scliindt, Pokey and Gumby, enjoy the Kappa Delta Cloak and Dagger Halloween party. PHOTOS UNLIMITED ♦ DRESSED FOR SUCCESS. Students at the UA take dating and the Razorback games serious. Instead of wearing the traditional red and white hog parapher¬ nalia, some student fans wore ties, sus¬ penders, dresses and pearls. D. ALLEN PHOTO ♦ LONG DISTANCE. While some stu¬ dents have a steady boyfriend or girl¬ friend on campus, others must keep in touch by mail and over the telephone. For Ashley Marquette, freshman, and Steve Graham time is well spent when he visits from Rice during his spring break. C. PARKS PHOTO 10 Dating

Centrally located in Fayetteville, the University’s campus includes 420 acres in the Ozark Mountains THE UNIVERSITY’S CAMPUS PROVIDED SOME ENJOYABLE PLACES TO HANGOUT AND STUDY ♦ Upon arrival in Fayetteville as fresh¬ men, students often considered the cam¬ pus a bit overwhelming; however, after a few weeks, most became rather fond of the tree-covered campus on the hill. Throughout campus popular hang-outs attracted crowds. The Union served stu¬ dents between classes and for lunch. The Union Mall, Chi Omega Theater and Old Main ' s lawn were popular for enjoying the outdoors. Almost every student at¬ tended at least one class in Kimpel Hall. And the HPER Building was a popular hangout for fitness buffs. I like to go in front of the library to study just because it ' s outside and I enjoy studying outside. ♦ HOLLY DOUGHERTY, freshman Old Main is just great. I think it is the most breathtaking structure when you ' re driving down Lafayette street toward the campus. ♦ CASS GILBERT, senior The Greek Theater is really cool. I get a lot of studying done there as well as a good tan. ♦ GINA PARKER, sophomore I like to go to the Union to play video games. ♦ JASON DONLEY, sophomore I love going to the HPER. I mean, you can swim, play basketball, racquetball, just name it. ♦ STEVEN BENNETT, freshman The University did a nice job fixing up around Old Main. I love walking down the new sidewalk between Old Main and Vol Walker when all the old time light posts are on. They give the area a somewhat historical look, and it feels as though you ' re in the past. ♦ DOUGLAS SCOTT, junior ♦ PICNIC ON THE PLAZA. A week before school was out for summer, students gathered on the Union Plaza for free hot dogs and chips provided by the Campus Activities Center. The free food was leftover from the Spring Fling, which was was moved inside due to rain. M. MARSHALL PHOTO ♦ SUN AND STUDIES. The mounds of grass and trees between the Union and Mullins Library made a nice spot for students like Susan Loyd to lounge around or do homework. C. PARKS PHOTO Campus Scenes 9

Whether going to the movies or just watching TV there was definitely EITHER HAVING FUN OR LOOKING FOR A SPOUSE, STUDENTS HAD THEIR OWN SPECIAL WAYS OF SPENDING TIME WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX ♦ What single activ ity do most college students enjoy and want to participate in constantly? Doing laundry? Cramming for midterms? Bzzz! Wrong answer. If you said dating, you are correct. Dating — everyone does it, or wants to do it. And, some people can ' t do without it. Dating came in many forms. Some stu¬ dents merely considered it a social activ¬ ity and a release valve from college pres¬ sures, while others viewed dating as the search for a spouse. I go out with different girls to have a good time. I don ' t plan on getting serious any time soon. ♦ CASEY CRAIN, sophomore I never go out with anyone I wouldn ' t consider marrying. When I ' m dating a guy, I often find myself sizing him up as a husband. ♦ MANDY ADKINS, junior I like to go dancing at Hollywood ' s, go to a movie or something. There ' s always something to do. ♦ RACHEL CUMMINGS, sophomore I don ' t care what I do on a date as long as I ' m spending time with her — going to the park, playing miniature golf or anything. ♦ AARON HENDERSON, freshman A lot of couples aren ' t as promiscuous today as they used to be. 1 think the (AIDS) epidemic has made people more selective of whom they date and these people show greater responsibility. ♦ JEROD NASH, junior I really don ' t think it (AIDS) has changed a lot of relationships. Since many people don ' t believe in pre-marital sex, it hasn ' t caused a problem. ♦ KAREN MORELAND, freshman Dating 11
