We`re no different?

We're no different? The University of Arkansas. Where
does our individuality lie? Well , we are
the U of A, but so is the University of
Alabama, University of Arizona, and
University of Alaska. Even if we called
ourselves A.U. that wouldn 't help either,
ala Auburn University.
Here we are located in Fayetteville.
However, there is another Fayetteville in
North Carolina. We are in the Ozark
Mountains , but so is Southwest
Missouri State , John Brown , Missouri
Southern and Drury College.
We find value in our serene "Old
Main." So what , North Little Rock has
one too.
The largest University in the State?
Big deal. Every state has one.
The Razorbacks have to be the most
original mascot. Well , let's not forget ,
Horned Frogs, Schockers, Aggies, Green
Wave, the Elephants, or gasp , the Game­
Cocks.
"Woo-Pig-Sooee" has to be the most
awesome cheer. Go listen to " Fight
Texas" in Austin .
Our colors are red and white, but so
is Nebraska's, Oklahoma's, Indiana's,
and North Carolina State's.
Even the name " University of
Arkansas" isn' t original. There is UA
Pine Bluff, UA Little Rock, and UA
Mon ticello.
We are close to a Cuban settlement,
but so is the University of Miami.
The campus was built in the 1870's,
but so was most of the South
(reconstruction).
We gained Frank Broyles from
Georgia, and lost Bear Bryant to
Alabama . We are the home of the Hogs,
but so is War Memorial in Little Rock .

STYLISTICAL by Bill Bowden
" My gosh , Muffy, where are my topsiders! "
Fashion has taken a giant step backward .
Common 1950's attire is now labeled "prep"
and considered the thing to do in social
circles. The University of Arkansas is
classified as the preppiest school in the state,
followed closely by Phillips County
Community College and Arkansas Tech
(where they sometimes use the same books
they do at Harvard).
Khaki trousers are the crux of the prep
ensemble. These things have been around
since the " big one. " This fad, taken straight
from the military, will be around until the
" final one." No prep wardrobe is complete
without khakis (preferably at least four
identical pairs). Semi-ironing is recommended.
Oxford cloth button-down shirts are almost
as important as their khaki couterparts. Light
blue and white are the preppiest colors.
Strategi c monogram placement is of the
utmost importance on these shirts. Oxford
cloth shirts with university stripes, usually
blue or brick red, are ultra-prep.
Madras cloth shirts have only recently
made their comeback into fashion circles at
the U of A. Genuine madras cloth is
handwoven by various families, each with
their own specific plaid, in India. These
families dig a hole in the ground in which to
place their looms, so that they can weave
while sitting down.
The vegetable dyes used in genuine madras
cloth are guaranteed to run, thus the garment
requires delicate treatment. Patchwork madras
cloth trousers are the epitome of prep, and are
only worn by the devout prep who would not
mind being seen in his pajamas in public.
Izod Lacoste short-sleeve knit shirts are the
preppiest shirts for summer. Only the two­
button, all-cotton !zod shirt is acceptable. The
three-button , cotton/ polyeste.r blend is known
as the " discozod ." These shirts bear a
crocodile on the upper left portion of the
chest.
This crocodile, often mistakenly referred to
as an alligator, was the logo for a French
tennis player, known as the crocodile because
he played with his mouth open. Izod began as
his line of tennis clothing.
Ellis Trumbo boasts sales of 1,200 Izod
knits annually by his store, Trumbo's Men's
Wear in the Northwest Arkansas MalL And
that's not the only store in Fayetteville that
carries !zod.
Polo short-sleeve knit shirts by Ralph
Lauren are trying to give Izod a run for their
money. The Polo shirt is similar to the Izod
except the crocodile is replaced by a polo
horse ridden by a preppy old man wielding a
polo mallet. The best thing about buying one
of these shirts is that everyone knows you
spent a few more bucks on it than you would
continued
Fashion/33
have on an Izod .
Top-siders are the accepted prep footwear.
Sperry is the preferred brand, since they were
the original. These moccasin-like shoes are
comfortable but much too popular. Everyone
and his dog has a pair of top-siders, but
they' re ashamed to wear them because
everyone will call them a preppy. It's a
vicious circle.
The adventurous prep battles the dilemma
by purchasing top-siders that are a shade off
from the traditional chocolate brown. Tan is a
suitable substitute. Girls can even get by with
wearing brig htly colored top-siders.
Girls in tartan skirts are common. These
skirts are far from sexy and are well suited
for girls with excessive fundamant. Stewart
and Campbell tartans are the most popular.
These tartans were once worn exclusively by
the Scottish families their plaids represent.
The Black Watch tartan was worn by a
Scotish infantry in the 17th Century.
Gold add-a-beads and pearls adorn the prep
female 's neck, where they are accompanied by
the traditional sorority insignia.
Sweat shirts and pants are chic among prep
women, especially when the proper Greek
letters are displayed. Pearls are not acceptable
with sweats, unless you're so preppy you
don't care.
levi's shrink-to-fit jeans (with the button­
up front) are the most prevalent pants on
campus. These were the original Levi ' s, ego
considered traditional by the prep crowd.
Penny and tassled loafers are popular when
the campus preppy gets semi-dressed up. The
oxblood color goes with anything. Only wing­
tips are acceptable for suit and tie.
Spouting whale prints are preppy, but most
guys prefer the flying mallard for its woodsy
L.L. Bean look. Sailing ships and anchors are
popular prep prints and give you that land's
end look . These prints are often displayed on
surcingle belts.
The best aspect of these new fashion trends
is that they have run the traditional disco
fiend out of town. Maybe he won ' t show up
again until these fad s get worn out in two or
three decades .

On the Hill at the VA by Jeff Williams
We never get what we need.
Every high school senior in Arkansas
would s pend four years on the hill in
Fayetteville if they had their way . The
attraction is part social, part Razorback
and part academic. Part party.
A pinch of st udy.
Parents might as well give their kids
$1 ,000 and send them to Acapulco for
the weekend . The kid would get as
much done and have at least as much
fun .
The cream of the crop. They wind up
in Fayetteville , Arkansas' social and
entertainment Mecca. They Mecca out,
become Chi-O' s, SAE's, engineers, and
drop-out s.
From our first day we wander
campus, map in hand, to find our first
class. New clothes , latest prep and
oldest class, slide from CC to the Union,
to racquetball in Barnhill. Quiet awe.
The hill is special to those who have
spent time on it and probably means
even more to those who never make it
here but wish they co uld have . All s tate
univers ities have a certain air of
devotion and thrill. Most are bigger.
Arkansas could disappear into many
campuses around the country. After all,
there are only a little over two million
people in our whole state. Not a bad
ca mpus for so few people.
Physical Plant could have helped if
I1rEJtDr
OF
they would have waited to see where we
were going to walk before they laid the
sidewalks. All the building s need to be
bigger. Every department need s more
money and more equipment. Except
sports and J. Frank .
The trees never grow. The ones that
were here before the ca mpus (or at least
as long as Old Main , ahem, University
Hall) are the only ones that grow and
they're dying fast. The ones that were
planted die, are pulled up , and planted
again the next year.
The trees and students s hare common
habits. Students fight for ti cket s to the
games and trees fight for existence. The
plaza (brick city in front of the Union,
takes up space. Maybe so mebody
figured it would be easier and more
conducive to studying to pave the way
between the Union and the Library.
The library itself de serves some space.
If nobody would have told the s tudents
it was seriously lacking in the number
of volumes, they never would have
asked or even known. N ex t to the
Union, the library is where it happen s.
We go there to see who else is there ,
exce pt when finals roll around and we
need to seriously cram. It is quiet.
Visual impact is provided (save
rushing coeds) by the Union. Lunch
time soa ps on big sc reen T.V. and erotic
films exercise the eye. They service the
students there, too.
The initial thrill of just being in
Fayetteville fades slowly and for those
who s urvive it lapses i~to an eternal
yea rning to spe nd more time here. It is
an easy place to make school bearable.
Not n ecessa rily an easy place to make
good grades, but fun.
Sure, the same problem s remain as
they do for all schools. There is
nowhere to park 50 we park on the
sidewalk , get towed away and spend
half the day and all of our money
getting the car back . A decent place to
live for le ss than a pound of gold and
your first born ca n ' t be found .
Regi s tratio n is awful. Unless you pre­
regi s ter. But, then you have to
rem ember to go through pre-drop-add.
And if you want to go to summer
school yo u have to let them know.
Forget about graduating.
Wh en living on the hill there are a
few things to remember:
1) Send your roommate for ti ckets.
2) Put the phone in someone else's
name .
3) Keep U.A.P.D. off your case.
4) Be ni ce to the secretarie s.
5) Make copies of everything you give
to the de an .
6) Assume nothing.
When spending four years here try to
stay on the sidewalks. Take your time.
Learn more than classroom procedure.
Ride the bus and hope it's free.

Tie a yellow ribbon
January brought not only a new year,
but a new president and the renewed lives
of fifty-two American hostages held cap­
tive in Iran.
Returning to ticker-tape parades and
songs such as "America the BeautifuL" the
former hostage s took pride in the revived
patriotism of the " Land of the Free. "
"Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old
Oak Tree" became the theme song for the
ordeal, as yellow ribbons dotted the
co untryside in Fayetteville, as well as the
rest of the nation.
A lot of changes had taken place since
the " take over" in November of 1979. Ar­
kansas saw a change in governors, while
Cubans found refuge in Ft. Chaffee.
Arkansas , while jubilant over the return
of two native sons, Robert Blucker and
Steven Kirtley, grieved over the death of
George Holmes, Jr., Crew Chief of the
brave attempt to rescue the Ameri(ans.
Holmes, brother of University of Ar­
kansas junior Rick Holmes, hailed from
Pine Bluff.
Rick Holmes, along with his father
George Holmes, Sr., appeared on Tom
Snyder' s Tomorrow Show after the hos­
tage release to discus s the role of his
brother.
Following their release, some of the for­
mer hostages went on the lecture circuit,
while others attempted to resume every
day life. The entire situation could have
been said to have given true meaning to
the phrase, "There's no pIace like home ."
Hostages / 47
Two heads better than one Another faction of students at the Univer­
sity included married students. The U of A
provided 334 units which became available to
young couples.
To gain a perspective of the life of married
students the Razorback talked with Steve and
Li sa Richards.
Steve, a Senior journali sm major, hailed
from West Minster, Colorado. He worked for
the U.A.P.D. as a ticket writer while going to
school.
Steve 's wife , Lisa , from Tulsa , worked to­
ward a degree in the Business School and also
worked part-time.
Coming to the University as an out-of-state
s tudent proved to be a cheaper rate for Steve.
He met Lisa when the two lived in Holcombe
and Futrall respectively. They married May
31 , 1979 and moved into Carlson Terrace
apartments in August of that year.
Steve commented that studying comes a lot
easier because of the released atmosphere
" The press ures aren' t on you to go out that
much ."
" Being realisti c and supportive" became
the most important virtues according to Ka­
ren . She held no regrets whatsoever. " It sure
beats living together. "
Because of financial burdens , children hold
no place in their near future. The couple later
hope to take that long awaited honeymoon to
the " Emerald Isle. "
Steve and Lisa obviously appeared to be
very happy. That fact added optimi stic hope
for those here at the U of A campus to receive
that dreaded " M.R.5. Degree."

and everything
Ah, those Southern Belles.
Texas may have some and Harvard
may buy them, but Arkansas harvests
them. When visi tors visit our scenic
campus, what do people (males) notice
first? It's not Old Main, and forget the
Ozark Mountains. Our beauty lies in
our Razorback ladies.
The Beach Boys Song was all wrong,
it could have more appropriately started,
" I wish they all could have been
Arkansas Girls. "
Some may question this idea. We
consider it pride, and we are indeed
proud.
Early fall and late spring are the best
times to view this splendid beauty as
campus contests such as "Daisy Mae"
and "Yard-of-cloth" feature our prized
"beauties."
T -top taxis .,cruise the hill for glimpses
of sun-bathing beauties on dorm and
sorority roofs. Winter seems to drag on
forever in Fayetteville.
One visiting student commented
when visiting during Row Parties, " I've
been here two whole days and haven 't
seen one ugly girl yet."
It's been said that Fayetteville is the
only city in the Union where you can
call a person a hog and get away with
it. But, you had better look again before
you refer to our " belles" as such.
Girls are attracted to the University of
AFkansas because as one girl put it
" there must be something in the water. "
For as long as we continue to boast
such lovely ladies, new life comes into
the phrase "The SOUTH will rise
again!H"

N ew Alumni Center Twenty years ago, Andy Lucas took
over the editorship of the Alumni News­
letter. Finally, his and many other's dream
became reality. A new Alumni Center ma­
terial ized.
During 1980-1981 , the Alumni Center
consisted of a two-story, former private
residence located behind the Delta Gam­
ma Sorority House. The offices had been
located in any open space the University
possessed (another year and the offices
would have met in one of the Physical
Plant storage buildings.
Receptions couldn ' t be held at the facili­
ty because of limited space , so after-game
receptions took place at anywhere from
the Holiday Inn to the Fayetteville Coun­
try Club.
Two years ago, Fred Livingston (Bates­
ville), president , decided that the new cen­
ter shouldn' t be put off any longer. Letters
went out solicitating Alumni as well as
friends of the University for donations.
Ground-breaking for the center took
place July 10, 1980 during the presidential
term of Ed Stevenson (Mena). Actual con­
struction began two weeks later.
The new center, funded 100% by dona­
tions, featured 8,000 square feet with 2,200
sq. ft. designated for public use. The pub­
lic area took the shape of an octagon,
while the office space took a rectangular
shape.
The new center features computerized
record storage and a modernized mailing
system.
The association planned to move into
the new $850,000 complex in late July of
1981 , under the direction of Executive Di­
rector John Rosso.
The center , built across from Razorback
Stadium, provides a convenient meeting
place. The Association hopes that stu­
dents, faculty, and alumni will be able to
use the public area which could hold 300
persons for reception type events.
For the first time since their commence­
ment, graduates of the University of Ar­
kansas will have a place to actually call
home .

nsa s Ba sketball
In 1980-81, Texas A&M was
supposed to be the class of the
Southwest Conference . However,
the Aggies evidently spent more
time reading their own press
clippings than practicing. The
Hogs, after a rocky 2-3 start , began
rolling, and the supposedly second
place team won the conference for
the fourth time in five years .
Arkansas opened its seventh
season under Eddie Sutton by
beating the Polish Nationals at Little
Rock. Although the exhibition
game didn't count on the
Razorbacks' record, it did serve as
a tune-up for the regular season .
The Hogs then traveled " north to
Alaska " for the Great Alaskan
Shoot-out. The tournament featured
five nationally ranked teams, and
Arkansas faced three of them on
three consecutive nights.
In the first round, the Hogs
"gunned down" Steve Sti panovich
and the Missouri Tigers . Arkansas'
man-to-man defense took the
Tigers completely out of their
offense, and at one point in the
first half, the Razorbacks led 40-9.
During the Hogs' spurt, U.5 . Reed
treated Mizzou to a 360-slam-dunk.
Missouri made a run in the second
half behind the hot-shooting of
guard Jon Sundvold , but the Hogs
held on to win 81-73.
In the second round, the Hogs
beat the LSU Tigers at their own
game ~ running and rebounding .
Brad Friess and Keith Peterson
completely shut down All­
American Durand Macklin to lead
the defense, and Scott Hastings
scored 25 points (with 14 rebounds)
to lead the offense . The game
ended with the final score being
87-76.
In the championship round , the
Hogs lost to North Carolina 64-58.
The Razorbacks had already played
two tough opponents (North
Carolina had breathers over Colgate
and Georgetown.), and the physical
and emotional drain showed. The
Hogs fought to the end, but the
deciding blow came when Scott
Hastings (the tournament MVP)
fouled out with 10 minutes left in
the game.

Arkansas' track team attempted to
become the first team in Southwest
Conference history to win the "Triple
Crown" . The Razorbacks, who won the
conference cross country title last fall and
the indoor track and field championship
earlie r in the spring, would complete the
"Triple Crown" by capturing the outdoor
tra ck championship.
" It' s going to be hard for us to win the
outdoor championship," says coach John
McDonell. "Our winning will depend on
the balance of all the teams. If the teams
like Hous ton, Texas, and Texas A&M split
up th e points in the sprints then we will
have a shot at winning it."
Arkansas appeared to have an excellent
chance of winning the outdoor
championship before the season began but
injuries to Razorback distance ace Mark
Anderson and triple jumper William
Thompson may cost the Hogs needed
points.
Regardless of his team' s outcome, several
member s of McDonnell 's squad have a
good chance of winning individual titles.
Quartermilers Stanley Redwine and Pat
Mitchell will be among the favorites in the
400 meters . Randy Stephens will have his
hand s full when he takes on SMU's
Sammy Kos kei in the 800 meters but could
pull an upset.
Pat Vaugh, Tony Conroy, or Randy
Reina could take the 100,000 meter title .
Frank O 'Mara won the steeplechase last
year and s hould repeat.
The Razorback mile relay team of Paul
Jones, Kerwin Was hington , Mitchell, and
Redwine hold s the second best time in the
nation , but should get a strong challenge
from Baylor.
In the field events Scott Lofquist rates a
s trong favorite to win the discus
competition . Lofquist just missed throwing
200 feet when he set a new school and
state collegiate record with a throw of 199­
5.
Over the course of the season, Stanley
Redwine es tablished himself as one of the
top intermediate s printers in the country
with several outs tanding performances.

Hogs host 1st SWS
Track Meet
The women' s track and cross country
program enjoyed continued growth during
the past year. Serving as the host school
for the SWAIAW Cross Country
Championship s, the Razorbacks qualified
three runners- junior Jody Rittenhouse,
Junior college transfer Maria Tillman , and
Freshman Cathy Stone - for the AIAW
National meet at Seattle, Wash. They
missed sending the entire team by only
one point.
On the track, Arkansas fielded some
quality athletes. Freshman Betty Smi th,
although bothered for much of the indoor
season with a strained hamstring,
demonstrated why she was considered one
of the top sprint recruits ever to sign with
the Razorbacks . Smith set school mark s
both indoors and outdoors and added the
SWC 100 meter crown to her credit in
May. Sophomore Wanda Harris surprised
everyone with her victory in the long jump
competition at the conference meet. Harris
hadn' t competed in the event since her
senior season in high school, but at the
SWC Championships, she displayed the
form that made her one of the top
prepsters ever to come out of the Arkansas
high school ranks . Harris won the
competition with a leap of 19-8 Y., a new
school record .
The Razorbacks accomplished many first
during their ca mpaign. In May, Arkansas
hosted the first ever SWC Women' s Track
and Field Championships. During that
meet, the Razorbacks won five events and
set five school records. In total, nine
Razorbacks qualified for national meet
competition during 1980-81, a guide to the
