TGIF! The entire Scott campus sighs — my last class — finished . . . Only four more hours until my date! The only other time the hours pass so quickly comes when we cram for tests. The anticipation of the week- end and all its leisure is a sustaining thought during the week. The week- end is the time for catching up with school work — or leaving it behind. The most traumatic experience of any weekend is the blind date. You know you ' ve got a winner when your friend says, He ' s got a really good personality and that ' s what really matters. Most blind dates would certainly be a lot better if you actual- ly were blind! With extraordinary luck he will be Prince Charming or at least a Greek bearing gifts. Where do these dates take place? A hundred different places you ' ve always want- ed to go to, ranging from the most casual to the most formal — but not with him! This is not to say that all dates are bad, however. Some dates are so good that the girls linger on the porch to say goodnight. Fall quarter — the mixer season — there ' s a great rush of traffic be- tween Scott and Tech. You can dance to the Drifters at ATO, watch a magician at Sigma Nu, eat shrimp with the Betas, and drink beer — everywhere! Walking of the row is quite an event, too — the big chance to check out the Emory guys. Even the dental frats entice the Scotties with a Friday Cocktail Hour! The football date is another stan- dard social event, lasting anywhere from five to fifteen hours. If your date is a frat man, it starts with lunch at the house, then the game, and the action finally winds down back at the house with dancing to a band or jukebox. ,- 4 ' ■iiPlfiiiiii

A Reasonable Alternative To Boredom

Upperclassman: T.G.I.F.! Freshman: Why Friday? What ' s so great about Upperclassman: Why she asks! Well, Friday means . . . Sleep and rest, Concerts and dates, No more eating at Letitia Pate ' s. Sports, fresh air, A Stone Mountain hike, A quick escape on your ten-speed bike. Home for the lonely, Boyfriends for the depraved, Church for the souls which need to be saved. Friday at Agnes Scott brings joy to the heart of every student. Whether she explores downtown Atlanta, heads for the great outdoors, or just changes her study environment, she manages to get off campus on the weekends. Some of us brave the packed interstates or hop a plane and leave for the entire weekend. Others take advantage of Agnes Scott ' s proximity to Atlanta and visit places like the Omni and Peachtree Plaza. For those who use the weekends to catch up on studying, the Emory library can serve a dual purpose — the single law students are rumored to hang out there. No matter how we use our weekend, it ' s our own time and we relish it.
