MEXICO BY MISHAWAKA Notre Dame students dis- play various emotions over drinks at Chi-Chi ' s. City Sidewalks Jokes about the social life — or lack thereof — in South Bend are common among Notre Dame students who are used to the glitter of larg- er cities. But, with a little effort, even the most jaded Domer can find something to do in northern Indiana. South Bend boasts a large number of fine restaurants, plus a variety of eating places that are most often visited in the early morning hours such as Fat Shirley ' s and Azar ' s. If interested in more athletic pursuits, the East Race on St. Joseph ' s River can be a fun experience. For those over 21 the Commons and Bridget ' s are well-known hangouts, along with Margueritaville at Chi-Chi ' s. Still can ' t find anything to do in South Bend? There ' s always Univer- sity Park Mall. Much Ado What should we do tonight? If you ' re looking for entertainment on campus, the an- swer to this question could include a movie at the Engineering Auditorium, a private gather- ing in a dorm room, or dancing the night away at Theodore ' s. But additional options are of- fered by students who sacrifice their time to provide diversions for other students. For example, some people dedicate them- selves to working on student theatrical produc- tions. Actors and technicians enable dramatic works such as Good to be presented for the benefit of the Notre Dame community. Also on stage, musical groups like the Glee Club show offer their talents by giving concerts. Other student groups contribute to college life by sponsoring events. During the month of February, the student-run Black Cultural Arts Festival draws speakers and cultural events to campus. The International Students Organiza- tion also offers gatherings and shows to bring some of the world to Notre Dame. Campus events don ' t just occur by them- selves. Students planning behind the scenes for many hours make these happenings come to life. Their work provides many alternatives to choose from when looking for social activities. -Anne lacono CHIC STYLES.

Nightlife LOVIN ' EVERY MINUTE OF IT. Paul Dean. Scott Smith, and Mike Reno of Loverboy perform at the ACC. ► Photo by Hannes Hacker Shattering the Silence Summer in the middle of winter. Coolness at the close of summer. The Beach Boys brought the beach in February and the Monkees returned with their greatest after an absence of two decades. With a limited budget and with some outside promoting help, the SAB brought a diverse group of performers to the ACC in order to satisfy everyone ' s hunger for live music. They also ex- tended their involvement into the smaller bands from certain cities throughout the country into visiting the Notre Dame campus. Some of the bands that per- formed in front of the enthusiastic Notre Dame audiences were Ratt, Loverboy, Poison, Dokken, Berlin, the Rainmakers, Alabama, the Charlie Daniels Band, Joan Jett, and as previously mentioned, the Beach Boys and the Monkees. These concerts provided excellent opportunities to take a break from studying to excess, plus the anticipation of looking forward into the calendar and coun- ting the days until the big show — it was these events that would break up the weekly routine of studying and make life at Notre Dame more exciting as the weeks passed. -John T.
