While Oneonta may not offer tfie variety of evening activities the neighboring cities of Birming- ham, Gasden, and Albertville provide, night activities are increasing. The new skating rink has become one of the hottest spots. Cruising around on one ' s own wheels and power can be fun, especially with a group of friends. The smooth floor, col- ored lights, and fast music add greatly to the excitement. It goes without saying that Jack ' s has become the leading food hangout. It is a common idea to meet and eat with people from all over the county. Pinball has become an Oneonta obsession. Anytime boredom strikes, students enjoy going to the nearest quick mart and spending a few quarters on the quick finger and mind actions devices. If any of those new sundown activities don ' t appeal, one can try the traditional activities — rid- ing around, sitting and talking in the old gym parking lot, and parking. Whatever one ' s choice, week- ends offer that much needed change of pace — that break, from the rigors of study and rou- tine schedules. Weekends are made for fun, so do it.
