tud Much has been written about academics and the Hendrix student, but no figures highlight how much studying plays a role in the lives of Hendrix students better than those found in a student survey conducted by the Troubadour staff. For example, the average student at Hendrix studies over fifteen hours per week, mostly in the evening, alone, with food or drink, and without the disruption of noise. More specifically, over half of us study Dion Smith pulls an all-nighter for one of those killer Zoo. four weekers. Jeff Conaway and Ken Brindley stop to catch their breath while cramming for their Econ.- Business comps. Habits-Hendrix Confesses All between ten and twenty hours per week. In these hours of studying, eight out of ten students prefer to be aloneg therefore, the most suitable place for studying is, most of the time, the dorm room, followed by the cubicles of Bailey Library and the more relaxed atmosphere of the Mills Library. Two-thirds of our study- ing occurs in the evening, another two-thirds of us, usually without the aid of artificial stimulants like No-Doze, have perse- vered throughout the night and pulled the infamous all-nighterf' Accompanying the Hendrix' student's . voracious appetite for learning is the need for eighty-three percent of us to incorporate food and drink into our studying. Included in the category of food and beverages are snacks like popcom, chips, and candy as well as caffeine-laden items like soft drinks, coffee, and tea. Also, whether baroque music with its sixty beats per minute, sound effects, country music, or just the radio, one-third of the respon- dents like background noise during their study- ing. Regardless of rumors to the contrary, the average student still appears to devote a large portion of his Hendrix experience to studying, demonstrating that the demands of a Hendrix education are as rigorous as ever and that our renowned academic reputation is still in tact.
