For mosT, The Teeling oT ConTinemenT is aT one Time or anoTher apparenT, and This siTua- Tion is aggravaTed by a lack oT accessibiliTy To civilizaTion-civilizaTion being a movie Thea- Ter and Shoney's, in ThaT order. This Teeling oT enTrapmenT is mosT inTense, however, aT Those TreguenT Times when The campus is com- pleTely enshrouded in a soupy Tog, and when iT is impossible To know ThaT There really is a world ouT There. On The oTher hand, The isolaTion oT The Cam- pus and The virTual singulariTy oT sTrucTures aT- Tords a reassuring sense oT securiTy. An inexe pliceble closeness, The resulT oT ConTinemenT, prevails aT various Times ThroughouT The year. IT is a Teeling ThaT is oblivious To a world ouT- side, a Teeling ThaT The acTiviTy in The lobby is The only acTiviTy worThy oT anyones noTe, a Teeling ThaT resulTs in a cerTain conTenTmenT, a selTesaTisTacTion, a Teeling ThaT is besT cap- Tured in The merrimenT oT The pre-ChrisTmas aTmosphere.

OT raTher a unique naTure, Friday repre- senTs a TransiTion in The course oT The weelc. lT is boTh very much a parT oT The academic week and also The non-academic weelc-end, Though oTTen The spiriT oT The laTTer inTringes upon The Tormer. There is almosT a mood oT relieT in The common lcnowledge ThaT There can be no TesTs or papers due on The morrow, Unless an insTrucTor has scheduled a laTe aTTernoon exam, a lighThearTed approach dom- inaTes The classroom scene, and becomes more inTense as The TransiTion To The weekend comes closer To compleTion. Then, when The cloclc indicaTes The Tinish oT The lasT class, and The sTudenT body is released Temporarily Trom The rigors oT academic liTe, everyone pauses in collecTive wondermenT as To iusT whaT is avail- able To do wiTh an evening oT Treedom. MosT oTTen Friday nighT is a Time To daTe, To go To a baskeTball game, or To aTTend an all-school social. For a Tew, in deTiance oT The Trend, The evening is s'penT in geTTing a sTarT on The nexT paper, while Tor oThers, wishing ThaT They were elsewhere, iT is Time wasTed in purposeless wandering on campus. The care-Tree spiriT ThaT oTTen aTTends The Fri- day nighT scene carries over inTo and Through SaTurday. General inacTiviTy seems To reign on This day: The only acTiviTy enTered inTo wiTh any vigor is ThaT oT changing posiTions in bed or shuTTing oTT The presumpTuous alarm.
