AThe Michigan Daify"Bet of Ann Arbor 19~ iABest of the University - Continued From frats tobathroomson Best Excuse for a Late Paper: Computer Problems OK, we all know this one isn't valid, since the computers at U of M are soooo reliable. Right, ITD? Best Excuse for Cutting Class: Sick/Asleep (tie) When in doubt, tell your teacher that you had a nervous breakdown, then slept through the class and then your dog ate your homework when you finally did wake up. Let me tell you, it works every time. Oh, I think I'm gonna be sick ... Best Fad: Black pants Wasn't this the best fad last year? Hello - isn't a fad supposed to be something new and different and origi- nal? Well, on this campus, black pants are more than a fad .. they're a way of life. Best Slang: "You're so money" Psst. Guess what? "Swingers" came out two years ago! Let's keep up the retro trend and have next year's winner be: "What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?" Best Thing About A2: People Wow! The voters are very smart. They love themselves. They love peo- ple. They love shiny happy people. But do they love smelly, dirty people during Hash Bash? That is the question. Best Hangout for Smokers: Java House Smoking in a fishbowl. That's my idea of a good time. Nothing like stale air, stale coffee and stale ciga- rettes to go with it. Best Fraternity to Party W ith: FIJI They're no John Belushis, but these pretty boys still know how to party. Best Sorority to Party With: s Alpha Delta Phi The women of Alpha Delta Phi are the classiest and prettiest young ladies to invite over for an evening of rapture and delight. Maybe they'll wear their black pants, too. Best Co-op: - -------- ------- Joint H ouse With a name like that, how could they lose? And since the place has the added bonus of a fish pond and tire swing in the front yard, no one else had a chance. Best Residence Hall: West Quad Where else can you access Little '- Caesar's, a video store and an ATM FILE PHOTO machine without even going out- The beautiful Law Quad has always been a favorite study spot for students side? Best Building: Law Quad Beautiful ivy-covered walls and an even more beautiful courtyard guar- anteed this win. Best Bathroom: Ground Floor, Mason Hall Ever wonder why students are always late for classes in Mason Hall? No one can resist staying in the stalls for a few extra minutes to KEVIN KRUPITZER/Daiy Ann Arbor's swinging hipsters party at the Liquid Lounge. 0 0 o p o d " 1 P "" i lit fit 0 fl r rl i t 05.DIVISION (AT PACKARD) Courtesy o Miramax rilms "Swingers"' Vince Vaughn inspired this year's best slang phrase.

Best Place for People- Watching: The Diag My favorite spot is from the book depository, but that's beside the point. The Diag is, without a doubt, the best place to watch people talk to each other, fight, eat, study, declaim their beliefs, you name it. It provides hours and hours of nonstop enter- tainment. Best Place to Get a Parking Ticket: Everywhere Remember Ice-T's "Cop Killer"? Yeah, you know you do. Automobile owners, please back me up. We'll meet on the corner of S. State Street and North University Avenue, then head down where they store the gar- dening equipment and ... Best New Store/Business: Liquid Lounge Nectos finally has some competi- tion in the dance-club department.

Best Thing About Football Saturdays: Winning We won the Rose Bowl! We won the Rose Bowl! We won the Rose Bowl! We won the Rose Bowl! Nyah nyah nyah, poo poo, Washington State!
