Lounges Night Life As night sets in at NC, 1700 exhausted ople who were sure ey wouldn ' t make it rough that 2:30 p.m. iss are finding their cond winds. They ' ve rvived another day of ademia, and the ght belongs to them. A quick look around e campus reveals me distinct night ne habits. Some are gging, some are idying, and some are iring starry-eyed into meone else ' s starry es. Who ' s doing lat, depends on three mgs: (1) Who ' s no- ed their clothes are tting snug; (2) Who ' s t a massive exam at a.m. tomorrow; Id (3) Who doesn ' t ve (1) or (2) to worry put. Jndoubtedly the St places to ex- rience a sampling of ivet night life are the |rms, or more ecifically, the imges of the dorms. )m sedate, dimly lit lis Mortuary to the ight, noisy (some- i les too) steadfastly supervised Williams Loung if it is happen- ing at ONC it ' s being dicussed, debated, or done in one of the stu- dent lounges. What ' s amazing is that anyone actually gets any serious school work done in a lounge. How anyone surround- ed by rowdies listening to Cindy Lauper and screaming about their weekend plans can at- tempt to write a sensi- ble paper is amazing. In spite of their little quirks and borderline misuses, the l ounges at Olivet do serve the positive purposes for which they were designed. If fellowship, sharing, and good spirit are the ends, then the lounges are one very effective means. And if you ' re bored with working in the peace and quiet of your room or library, go to your lounge. You may get Pepsi on your project, but you ' ll probably make some friends. (S. Kuberski and D. Spontanski) nty Parsons and Rosanna Hurt at an ONC sporting event Carol Rittenhouse, Brian Lake and Kim Meyering study in Nesbitt Lounge. A tired ONC student can sleep anywhere.

I thought you could only find those at secular college cam- puses! What exactly is a social life, where are the social spots, and who are the sociable people at Olivet? ONC seems to have a reputation for little or no dating. If that ' s your defini- tion of a social life then very few peo- ple have one. But there is definite evidence to prove that social ac- tivities either date or non-date oriented take place, you just have to look in the right places. Why not pick one evening to stroll through the dorm lounges? Couples who frequent them are prime examples of sociable creatures, but they are not the only ones who ?[ualify! You will ind lots of other students engaging in amiable events. Group favorites in- clude the ever popular Rook or Trivial Pursuit. Videos in Nesbitt usually attract a standing room only crowd. Cozy fireplaces make Hills, McClain, and Parrott popular spots on nippy, winter nights. As for Chap- man and Williams, the continous night life of a freshman dorm should be quite enough activi- ty to satisfy most people. So you see, students at ONC don ' t have to date to have a social life. Webster says that social means marked by pleasant companionship with one ' s friends, and that type of social ac- tivity is very com- mon at Olivet! (D. Preush) Student Life 19

TWIRP . . . The Perfect Dote? The traditional, or perhaps old fashioned idea, that the male should ask the female out is going down the tubes like a bad televi- sion program. There were several things that went through a girl ' s mind when she took the in- itiative and asked a guy out. She reviewed her fears repeatedly in her mind. Does he think I ' m too aggressive? How will I know what to say to him? and What if he says ' no ' ? Twirp week offered the girls opportunities to be equal to the guys. Some Olivet men agreed that women should demonstrate these new liberal op- portunities presented to them. Paul Riley says, I think it ' s great. It is always expected that the guy asks the girl out. It ' s nice to have the tables turned for a change. Dan Meador agrees, It doesn ' t make me uncomfortable when a girl asks me out. I think it should be an accepted practice. It takes the burden off the guy for a change! Janna Williams cer- tainly agrees with the idea that it should be accepted. I thought it was so much fun to twirp a guy. I did the twirping for my date and my sister ' s date, and of course we double-dated! Remember girls, when you were scared, Perseverance was the ability to stick to something you were not stuck on! (C. Stanley) Olivet girls just want to have fun. The couples wait for the next activity. 18 Aurora

( livt ' t Na ariMU ' C lli ' t ' cinuhinj; staff is proud of the student body. Spec- tator attendance has helped to build the continuing strength of the sports program. One of the women coaches, Brenda Pat- terson, says that fans get the team ' s adrenaline going. More importantly, They have control of the momentum in a game that is close and take part in its outcome. Ralph Hodge, Olivet ' s basketball coach, claims, The fans are very sup- portive and loyal to us, and it doesn ' t matter whether we ' re winning or losing. They give players an extra urge to give more when they feel like quitting. Coach Larry Wat- son, director of athletics, acknowl- edges that the fans are what people most see. Through his leadership, he hopes to portray a three-fold witness of the college. As the coaches and players demonstrate control and good conduct, their actions will be models for the fans to copy. Overall, the coaches can tell that the fans are behind their teams 100%. (D. Rantz) Intensity on viewers ' faces. Crowded stands evidence students ' enthusiasm. Prof. Armstrong and wife watcfiing a game. his Football is a girl ' s favorite pastime. Fans as Vieived by Athletes The goes crowd always wild when something exciting happens in an athletic event. Some of them get very involved in what is actually hap- pening, screaming and cheering the team on. Many even show up at games dressed in crazy ways to show their spirit and support. Of course, the other spec- tators in the stands notice all this . . . but what about the athletes themselves? Do they really notice the efforts the fans put forth? Does it mean anything to them or effect them in any way? The majority of athletes seem to think so. They agree that fans bring extra motivation and encouragement. No matter what the sport is, the fans ma or break the gamt states one cheerleadc It makes thej adrenaline flow aij that can make all t:| difference. Baseb player Phil Cable fe that fans can motivi an athlete to rise to t peak of his perfdj mance while Janr Williams, volleyba comments, It ' s mo fun to play in front 0(| crowd, especially crowd that is su portive and wants to there. Senior footb player Mitch Coir sums it all up — having fans at a fo ball game is like a si dae without the che on top.
