. g1; m- STUDEN T LIF E As students returned to cam- pus tn the dog days of Au- gust, they were met with many new things. UKhs first Freshman Fall Orientation, 400 students without housing, a new uni- versity president, and few- new buildings were some of the things students encoun- tered. Many controversial issues were stirred up on campus. The Student Government Association voted to put condoms in dormitory bath- rooms. The AIDS problem was getting some attention. A march held in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King stirred up some controversy also. Besides hitting the books there were a variety of activ- ities for UK students to do around Lexington. There 3These two studcms study on mi: N alstcps of Mchy Hall lute om: all ternoon t were many places in the downtown area to patronize: Triangle Park, The Espresso Cafe, Comedy on Broadway were a few places students went. Students also went to con- certs. The $055 , U2, and Pink Floyd were some of the big acts that came to Rupp Arena. Homecoming and Little Kentucky Derby were two activities the Student Activ- ities Board sponsored. WRFL, the student run radio station, finally hit the airwaves on March 2, 1988. Dorm life, commuting to campus, and working were a few things involved in stu- dentst daily lives. By the time the school year came to an end, stu- dents had learned to play the game. eElizabeth C.
