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

Famous sessions educate students Home away from home, or the dor- mitory consumed most of the students time. It was a place to study, play and most of all a place to collect on the well- earned sleep. Dorm life proceded to be the same as in past years, with room check once a week and the famous “bull sessions” where most students received half of their education. A student sometimes learned that a few frogs walk on land or that their girl friend or boy friend wasn’t completely theirs. It was a pleasant sight in the dorm to see the coke man coming; it meant that there would be no more cups of Car- bonated water for at least 24 hours. Also if a student waited around in the hall until he left. He got the test cup of coke that the coke man left standing on the machine. The average college student (if there is such a thing) lives behind those great red bastions of the dorm. It is within and outside of these walls that students live and die a thousand times.
