GOING HOME B.U. a ' ' suitcase campus for some Weekends! Students ' favorite time of the week. So how do they spend it? riot on campus. For many, Butler is a suitcase cam- pus, a place to stay while classes are in session, but not any longer. Student Assembly plans weekend all-night parties, movies and lectures, but even those don ' t seem to com- pare with getting laundry done free of charge, visiting family, and seeing hometown boyfriends and girlfriends. ' 1 go home the night before a test so I can get some quality studying done, said David Mall, a junior. Hall said others sometimes tease him for going home so often. ' 1 chose to live on campus to meet people, he said. But with my home only five minutes away, 1 go home when 1 want. Others would like to spend more time at home. rd like to go home more often, but money shortage is sometimes a prob- lem, said Lisa Einbinder, a fourth year pharmacy major. Students who visit their homes of- ten say they don ' t sacrifice their inde- pendence. I ' ve been home more than oth- ers, Terri Sheehy, a sophomore, said. 1 feel I ' m independent, but that doesn ' t mean 1 should stay away. Other students say campus is the place for them on weekends. 1 think campus activities are ade- quate, said Sophomore Amber Wes- sel. True, there aren ' t rock concerts every night, but we ' re here to learn. Junior Kim Stamm agreed. The theater department and the SA movies and lecutres are good, she said. Living in the dorm puts the decision on you to be active, but in the houses, there are more socials and it ' s easier and almost expected of you to participate. Melinda Gilbert
