UNCC has many established eating places on campus for stu- dents and visitors to dine. Appe- tizers, entrees and desserts make up the eating system of the Resi- dence Hall Cafeteria. For a little touch of something different — students can go to the Cone Cen- ter or The New York Deli (for the difference you may have to pay a ittle extra!) The apartment peo- ple learn the concept of survival of the fittest by trying (?) to cook for themselves. But what about those late night munchies? Those after-dinner hunger pains that PFM just did not satisfy? Thank Goodness for junk food!! A popular alternative for stu- dents is Dominos Pizza. They de- liver in less than thirty minutes and the pizza is well worth the wait. Bojangles, Wendy ' s, and Taco Bell are other favorites for the late night eaters. They are conveniently located and make a nice ride for a study break. All in all campus dining and Charlotte area restaurants are enough to keep the students from going hungry. by Sonya Wiley 25

CAMPUS RESIDENCE Phases I, II, and III comprise the apartments of UNC-Charlotte. All three phases consist primarily of four separate bedrooms, a kitchen, a bath area, and a family room. The apartments are basically set up as an off-campus facility — the students pay their own electric and telephone bills, and are also held respon- sible for upkeep of each apartment. Apartments offer a new lifestyle on newer college campuses in North Carolina. The older colleges al- low one choice of living facilities — the dorm. But at UNCC, several choices may be made: the high rise, apartments, or the Phase IV complexes. Lifestyles in the apartments appear to be more ver- satile than other lifestyles on campus. The high rise and Phase IV students have a slightly more rigid and structured life. For instance, these students have set times for meals, but in the apartments students fix their own meals at their convenience. Along with versatility , the apartment life also al- lows a certain amount of freedom — many students feel as if they are living on their own. This freedom enables students to gain a certain amount of respon- siblity such as having bills to pay, cleaning the apart- ment, etc. These responsibilities help to prepare up- perclassmen for life after college. The main intrigue in apartment life is privacy. Stu- dents are not thrown together in a small cubicle such as a dorm room. Here, students have the luxury of their own bedroom to which they can retreat. This entitles students to a more private life and also leans toward a better studying atmosphere. Overall, life in the apartments is more open and gives upperclassmen a new sense of freedom in life- style. by Cynthia Beane 26
