Weekends were time for mixed activities and fun. For many Olivet students they were that long awaited trip home to visit family and friends. The weekends also brought football, basketball, and other sporting events. These gave the students a chance to be rowdy. Some girls found Fri- day and Saturday nights a time for going out with those brave enough to have asked. It also was a time to catch up on put-off sleep and dirty laundry that had crowded the basket and spilled out onto the floor for weeks. In the Red Room there were always students unwinding from the strenuous week and creating ways to have fun. This could have included a variety of things from round- robin ping-pong, to Rook, or fooseball com- petitions. Other enter- tainment was always available such as Kresge ' s late-night videos, or late skates. Trips to Chicago, or shopping to Lincoln or Orland Malls, or a stop at a favorite pizza place were all great ways of spending money and getting away from our temporary home. Whatever ONC students liked to do with their weekends, it always made getting back into the grind of Mondays difficult. Monday morning chapel time was some- times used for last minute cramming for that test effectively ignored over the weekend. It was often far too tempting to cut those early morning classes after arriving back to Olivet late Sun- day night, and there were many weaker souls who often fell victim to this temptation. Other lucky students were also tempted to compare their weekends full of home cooking to Saga Food Service. Usually the home cooking won. It was always good to come back, however. Mondays were used to catch up on friends ' and roommates ' weekend activities. Weekends and Mon- days were a memorable part of Olivet. (K.

Annie Winder — 1 like them because hey are an excellent lethod of getting to now people. (C. tanley) A Lore What? Late skates are spon- sored by nearly every organization on cam- pus. You think, What? A late what? A late skate. A time for students to demon- strate their skating ex- pertise and unusual styles. Most students are very responsive, at- tending frequently and supporting their group or organization. Think about it: Fri- day night and the end of a long week. What better way to unwind and give your brain a break! Skating provides physical activity (no desks or books!) and an alternative place to become better ac- quainted with friends, as well as make new ones. Late skates can be used as a time of fellowship and ministry, as our spiritual life is strengthened by all we do for Christ ' s sake. The next time someone asks A late what? s say LATE SKATE! (C. Stanley) Danis Yocum rests her tired feet. Round we roll, where we stop only the floor knows.

Boredom causes Steve Weise to pretend he is Superman. Late skates provide a way to bypass in-hours on weekends. Father helps daughter unpack after a weekend at home. ii Try to imagine be- ing in a foreign country, speaking a very different language, adjusting to many different customs. It is dif- ficult to put ourselves in this situation, yet there are several students on campus who have given up familiar surroundings in order to study at Olivet. Dary 1 Kenichi Hashimoto is one of our students from Tokyo, Japan. Even though there have been many changes to make, Daryl seems to be making a home out of the States. In his second year at Olivet, Daryl is a Business Manage- ment major. He likes Olivet because, unlike big cities, the people are friendly. He has made many new friends here and says he does not get homesick, but still misses Japan — especially on holidays and weekends! Since he cannot go home, Daryl has to find other places to go for vacations and weekends. He usual- ly goes to Chicago or home with a friend, and has noticed many differences in the celebrations of holidays. He says that the decorations in Tokyo are a lot like the ones in Chicago. The real difference, though, is that Americans celebrate the birth of Christ, while there is a secular emphasis with many parties and festivals in Japan. There are no religious celebra- tions except on New Year ' s Day, when people go to shrines to pray for things they want. Although there have been many ad- justments for Daryl, and some boring vacations and weekends, he likes America very much. Student Life 23
