The Mall In Fall Once a street which ran through the center of the campus, the mall, in more recent years, has made a name for itself as the most versatile place on campus. Canopied by giant oaks which were growing when the college began, the mall is the perfect place for friends to visit, for pep rallies to be held, or for food to be served. Ask any student at ECJC, and he will probably list the East Mall in his top three favorite places on the campus. Snowball fights in winter and acorn wars in the fall create memories which will follow students throughout their lives. Alumni gather for the annual alumni luncheon attended this year by almost 300 people. The Warrior band gears up for a pep rally. , X 16 YN 'T Kerri Posey and Jeff McNair seem intent on their purpose ot delivering freshly-laundered jeans to a friend.

Getting The average college student is actually in class only about four or five hours a day. So what does he do with the rest of the twenty-four hours? Ac- cording to one survey, a stu- dent will spend one hour eat- ing lunch and dinner, two hours showering and dressing, seven hours sleeping, and two hours studying. However, this still leaves about seven hours of free time. While some students choose to spend that free time off the campus, most students find interesting places and ways to get together on the campus. One of the most popular places to get together is the Student Center where one is likely to see anything from a card game to heavy studying before a big test. Right next door, the Activity Center is al- ways busy with pool, ping- pong, pick-up basketball games, weight lifting, and vid- eo games. Another popular place to get together at East Central is in the dorms to watch the daily soap operas. When something big is about to happen on DAYS OF OUR LIVES or SAN- TA BARBARA, there is stand- ing room only in the lobbies with animated discussion over whether a certain character will really die or make a mirac- ulous recovery. In warm weather, the brick 14 Together benches scattered around the campus are popular places for students to congregate. Whether it is in front of Ne- shoba Hall to discuss a big game or near the library to re- view notes before going to class, the outdoors lures stu- dents. Although the library is a place of quiet and study, it also a popular place of getting together. Study dates in the library are common when cou- ples want to be together but need to study. Getting together with friends is the best part of col- lege, states one freshman. I like my classes and l'm happy with my dorm room. But being with other students in a casual atmosphere is what l like best. One of the many events that offer a chance of getting together is a dance. These dances are given for such events as elections and fundraising and attract a wide range of students. X Q an-.0 . ' i . ..... sQ1w f4'l M W ...aff-casxwffwf ' Q, was fgt-at...
