TRADITION wo Ton’ Community involvement. From the Agriculture Exposition Center. to Western athletics, the Bowling Green community thrived from Western students. Banners sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce welcomed students back to school each semester. And some stores offered student discounts to encourage them to shop there. But students returned the favor by allowing businesses to sponsor floats in the Homecoming parade. And two fraternities hung lights and greenery in downtown Bowling Green at Christmas. And there were times when campus and community com- plemented each other. a Western provided : ; —Tim Bockema BOWling Green with exciting athletic events, as well as truck pulls and rodeos. Bowling Green residents’ love for Western was repaid by the students’ appreciation for the community. It was a marriage made on the hill. | rg . = - 5 e RINEY VILLE senior Kelly Greenwell checks on a mare and her foal in one of the holding pens at the university's farm.

RAD MON AND Tran 2 J Fun and games... College students are known for their love for partying and Western students were no different. But be- cause we looked for new ways to have a good old time, we had fun in the trendiest of ways. And theme parties were trendy. University Center Board sponsored a beach party and Hilloween, while Bowling Green businesses sponsored best tan contests and “crash and burn’ parties complete with rock bands, like Govern- ment Cheese and The Ken Smith band, and special drink prices to entice the thirsty. And some familiar hangouts were changing. The Alibi was no more the stomping ground for Tuesday-night- quarter-beer faithfuls. Other establish- ments changed names like the Iron Skillet, which changed its name to Trot- ter’s, only to close four months later. And still more, like Rafferty’s, didn’t change, but still remained popular. But, whether on campus, or off, students just wanted to have fun. —Robert Pope ance at a university-sponsored dance following the homecoming COUPLES 4d iversity-sponsored dance following the | game Saturday night.
