AEIERJM11RS WVU Cets Raving Reviews from Its Famous Toasts of the Town ' Sunnyside and hit a movie at the ' Lair Ah, Sunnyside. The place of all places to party. Its recent facelift, including brick-paved sidewalks and chain railings along the road, afforded the area a bet- ter reputation and perhaps more satisfied customers. Sunny- side ' s the place to be, said Diane Hasemann, public relations senior. Dancing is another Mountaineer favorite. I ' m a dancing fool! said Joannie Kurucz, public relations senior. I like Izzy ' s, Fat Dad- dy ' s and Dolly ' s the most. Partying at home saved money and had other benefits. It ' s a more relaxed a t- mosphere, and you know everyone at the party, said Jim Smok- onich, parks and recrea- tion junior. Some opted for a quiet night out with a date or a close friend. The Creative Arts Center featured con- certs, recitals and plays. The campus offered infinite sports ac- tivities. The Natato- rium, for instance, was available at night for swimming; elsewhere racquetball, basketball and tennis courts lured the physically active. People jogged almost anywhere, anytime. Even late at night, Old Mountaineer Field Bv Vnk.i Vmli r-..i. drew the most dedicated athletes. As the University tightened its academic requirements, many stayed at home to study. The competitive job market and parents faithfully reminded, You ' re here to study and get an education. Somewhere there was a comfortable balance between party- ing and studying. One mechanical engineer- ing senior would study until early morning every night. After a BABIES FOR AN EVENING, Tom Cook and Dave Scheneweiss flipped records while moonlighting as disc jockeys at a Halloween party. test or during a rare lull in homework, out to Sunnyside he would go. He re- turned with a hang- over and a wealth of stories. Amid his wild revealing and con- stant studying he landed a job with Westinghouse im- mediately after graduation. He had reached his balance and his goal. Life after classes? Sure, soon you will discover that there is even life after college. By Nellie Fowler Campus Life NIGHTLIFE 19

fiATnP-iun Comes in the Form of New Dress Modes That Give a New Twist To the In-Clothes o doubt about it, ' ' those famous am- phibians had much competition in Morgantown . Al- though there still exists a religious group of preppies, gator-aid came in the form of punkers, new wavers, sporters and dress-ups. Painted and greased-back hair, safe- ty pin earrings, leather jewelry with studs and high-top sneakers became musts for a punker. Faded jeans, black leather, non- matching socks, thrift- shop coats and clashing plaids comprised the bulk of a punk wardrobe. Coining the three- quarter length pants, new wavers hit the campus turf in full force. On store racks many polo players hung across from wild striped tops and pants as this craze took effect. Decked out in paint splattered pants and geometrical earrings with electric colors, the new wavers were no minority. Mini-skirts and oversized clothes were other musts for this style of dress. The reasons for this trend were numerous. Ac- cording to sophomore business major Cindy Cooper, I switched from preppie to new wave because I enjoy being different. The bright colors and wild styles make me and my clothes stand out of the crowd. Sweats, T ' s and shorts comprised a new trend, the sporty look. With an increased con- cern for physical fitness a new imagr emerged. These jocks or jock look-a-likes donned the athletic apparel. Sweat suits in a variety of col- ors, styles and materials ran, walked and jogged through the campus. T- shirts with get fit slogans, professional team names and adver- tisements on the front were bountiful. When it was too hot for sweats, shorts readi- ly took their place. Nikes, Adidas, new Balance and Saucony jogging shoes covered feet. The reason for this style ' s birth was best stated by sophomore Sue Kuchinski, The look of sweats and T ' s is just me; I do not have to dress to impress anyone else. Suits, skirts, dress pants, pumps, ties and jackets gave the dress- ups a more polished, distinguished look. Usually upperclassmen and grad students selected this mode of dress. Designer-craving preppies still existed. This devoted group paraded around and showed off various types of animals plus designer names and in- itials. Polo players, alligators, A ' s and G ' s in addition to the names Gloria Vander- bilt, Calvin Klein, Sas- soon and Bill Blass were advertised on every conceivable part of a preppie ' s apparel. The gator-aid did not kill the preppie. It just brought a few more choices of dress for those who wanted to be in the right threads on campus.
