Sunshine and warm days in January and February brought many students to the grounds on campus in short sleeves and cut-offs. Passing the time of day by walking with someone special, singing a folk song or just talking with a friend; these were ways that some of the OBU students spent their time. Never-the-less this did not last long and many students were sent scurrying back to the dorms for coats and warmer apparel. Weekends brought many students to gathering up all of the dirty clothes, towels Warm weather brings students out and linens and packing them into suit- cases and heading for home. At a suitcase college such as Ouachita, students began to bum rides home as early as Monday. For a few fortunate individuals they had their own car or brothers or sisters to transport them back and forth. Some students had more to do than goof-off or go home on weekends. Some students had to spend their time prepar- ing themselves for classes they were behind in. Many were found just reading a book for their enjoyment. Life at OBU—19
