Night life for the Austin Peay student isn't always a trip to Waterworks or 1191, sometimes it's just a date with the laundromat Chuck Cantrell In Clarksville. the variety of things to do at night may not offer as great a selection as larger areas such as Nash- ville. But if you are doing your home- work like you should, you don't really need a larger city. The school provides facilities for re- creation and relaxation that are easily accessable, and inexpensive. The li- brary, University Center and gymnasi- ums will help students with anything from listening to a favorite Edith Piaf album to working up a good sweat missing lay-up shots. The Baptist Student Union at the corner of College and Drane Streets, provides a place for fellowship and in- terchange between students. It also provides a program that gives opportu- nity for an inward journey of spiritual growth and an outward journey of ser- vice to others. The BSU operates through the support of the Tennessee Baptist Convention with Sam Car- others as campus minister. The Church of Christ Student Cen- ter, headed by Burney Baggett, cam- pus minister, has devotionals, lun- cheons, retreats and many other ac- tivities to provide the students of APSU with opportunities for fellowship and spiritual growth. Facilities in the center are provided for cooking. recreation, study and a good quiet place to get away from the busy campus life. For those who wish to relax, meet with firends, make new friends, wor- ship, play volleyball, ping pong, watch television or listen to the stereo, it can all be found at the Wesley Foundation. It also has one of the few snooker ta- bles in town. There is a fully ordained minister, Vincent Walkup. available for guidance and counseling.

82 Long days of cracking the books makes a student thirsty, and the prox- imity of Ft. Campbell to Clarksville, coupled with the APSU population, pro- vides an abundant supply of bars. Stu- dents are dedicated to seeking out good times wherever they may be found, and there are few places in the area that students do not frequent at one time or another. ' There are, however, a few night spots that draw a high number of stu- dents regularly. The Library has the standard equipment; a good selection on pinball machines, electronic games, a large television screen and soft shag carpet so patrons do not injure them- selves when their chair falls over back- wards. There are women for the men, and men for the women, an occasional fight for Rick to break up, and two, too small restrooms. Archie Bunker says that you dontt buy beer, you only rent it. The Library is handy because it is only a block from the school and many students have no means of transportation other than their Addidas.
