Study Study Contrary to popular belief, Cente- nary students do study. The col- lege, because of its academic tradi- tion, strives to encourage and pro- mote good study habits, studious surroundings, and enough time to prepare for classes. Centenary, more than anything, is a source of knowledge and self-improve- ment. This college wishes more for students to be well-read and well-rounded in all areas and fields of study. It is for this reason that the college goes out of its way to offer the utmost in tacili- ties and environment that en- hance study skills. Centenary ' s campus and neigh- borhood surroundings abound with places to study and opportu- nities for quiet time. The school graciously provides each dorm with study areas, for students to withdraw and quietly prepare their work in seclusion. For many it is necessary to remove them- selves from a television, radio, telephone, and friendly traffic through their rooms. It is very difficult to study with the entire college in your room. It is also difficult to study with the Psyche- delic Furs playing loud enough to be picked up in Little Rock. So, we are fortunate to have study suites. As well, there is the library. How- ever, even the library can become the social gathering place of the season. Some students find small sound proof rooms on the second floor or even the secluded music listening room. Thanks also to the school, there are picnic tables near the SUB to enjoy nature and study quietly. There are numer- ous other places to study. The Dorm Daddies study while on duty; the Haynes Gym Night Watch usually studys there, and some even study in the Rose Gar- den. For most, when we study we get hungry. Many students will study in the CAF or go to George ' s and Murrell ' s for a mid- night snack and study there. It is also not uncommon for local stu- dents, living on campus, to flee back to the warmth and protec- tion of their homes. All-in-all if we need to study there is some- where quiet and secluded to do so. It just depends if you have the STUDY OUTDOORS - Suzanne Reasor finds a nice, quiet place to study outdoors.
