Weekends Are For For those who stay, "weekend" is not a dirty word. Granted, over half the campus residents leave on a particular weekend, but let's hear it for all the in-staters and out-of-staters who opt to stay. There is something extra special about a Friday afternoon. All week long you could have been dragging, but come Friday
afternoon, the most frivolous, carefree
feeling can overcome you. You feel like running, dancing and just letting loose. Suddenly evening plans are formulated and excitement
replaces the hum
drum.
Or after
a trying week there is nothing better than the thought of peace and tranquility fhe weekend can bring. Dinner can be eaten at a leisurely pace. The drive to Bonnet or Scarborough doesn't seem as routine. There may even be a trip to Iggy's or the new "in" spot, the Reading Room, Pub happy hours can be glorious after a week of exams or papers. Dorm parties are extra special because the people who
remained for the weekend come the others who stuck around.
