The Monsoon Arrive The luoiisooil season - a time of wading lit t-Liss, drenched hairdos, wet shoes .intl shared umhrellas. .-Xrkgidelphia is famous for rain. Why else is it commonly known as Arka- tlrirzriltff liut drizzle doesn't even do plllsllcc' to the Arkadelphia variety of just plain rain-all day pouring R-A-I-N. Whether it arrived unexpectedly or we were prepared. it mattered little. It was all the sgune drenching rainethe kind thai soaks in an instant and makes one want lu hide in his dorm room forever or never leave the safety of the car. We found there were certain areas on campus one just avoided altogether during the monsoons. Take for instance the river that flowed by the door to the post office. You had a choice - don't check your mailbox tprohably empty anywayl. go the long way around or take your chances going through the water and risk catching pneumonia. Hilti: can forget. too, dashing to class already late. getting soaked because you forgot your umhrella and then announc- ing your arrival with the sound of wet, squeaky. squishing shoes? Then there's leaving the dorm saying, Hey. I look pretty good today. The hair looks great, everythings right. But once outside in the rain, without your umbrella again, of course. there goes the hair. You're soaked all over and you think you'll never he dry or warm again. Sitting in class, you hegin to drip all over your paper twill the teacher he able to read a hlurred essay test'?l. Just when you start to feel a little comfortable, it.'s time to venture out again. Suddenly you hegin to wish you'd heen horn a duck! Rain does have some advantages, however. What hetter way is there to meet a new friend or get closer to someone you know tor want to knowl than to share an umhrella together? As the monsoons became more frequent, more and more umhrellas. all sizes and colors, could he seen moving across campus - owner and friend attached. of course. Yes. sir. linllis. an umhrella is definitely a necessity when coming to Arkadelphia - oh. pardon Arka-drizzle. It may not rain anywhere else in Arkansas hut you can het it will rain in Arkadelphia and most definitely on the HSV campus. If you donit own an umhrella, hetter get one. Next time that friendly, generous face in the wet crowd may not he so easy to find. .C 11'-fn' . -S. 4, 'Sv ' f,5. . A J L . - I tx lr. . 'I U lv' ,' . W . ..-.lf . A A ' ?-.

N ight Adventure We looked also limi' somewhere to seek titl'.:'IlVtlt'c' .it night. When studying and ii tdltlfiilf .activities did not occupy our tizne. we sought adventure in Arkadel- phil rind the surrounding areas. When the hungries struck - always at night. we headed for .-Xndy's. .-Xrhy's or l'ix,'a Hut. At liens inidnight inun- rhies offered more opportunity for filling that einpty spot as well as the t-liaiiue to get together with friends. 'lluui 'fieo opened in February and tiflieI'etl students more variety in fast Il it mls. XVQFE' Nlonday :ind Tuesday nights dollar nights at the VA Cinema I and ll. and we enjoyed saving money while still finding entertainment. Then. when we were feeling really hrave and ready for adventure. we headed for Gurdon to see the light, Xearhy Little Hot-k and Hot Springs offered discos such as Barleyeorns and .-Xpollo's Therne Disco. Along with dancin' dist-os. roller diseos were available also, such as the Crystal Palace Skating Venter in Hot Springs. Oaklawn opened in February for its annual 52 days of horse racing. Oaklawn attracted students and faculty for an afternoon of pleasure. Some of our night-time adventures carried over into the weekend. With the uarefree spirit. typical of the weekend. we sought more adventure. tronl on page To Most HM' students work onfcampus through campus work-study or they work off campus.
