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.

Ehrmann enjoys every last bite of her cupcakes. l l j Although tumout ,could have been better, Spirit Week '88 was deemed an overall success for coordinator Julie Berry. Spirit Week activities were planned to promote school spirit and to highlight three of the Hendrix Warrior basketball games and a Water Warrior swim meet, which was evetually cancelled due to the Arkan- sas blizzard of 1988. KHDX kicked off the week's festivities with its Rockin' with the Warriors radio show in which the Hendrix campus heard their favorite basketball players transformed into DJ s for the pirit Week '88 evening. MUHGHY preceding the Hendrix-UAM game, students scavenged the campus for five hidden boll- weevils. Rhonda Primm, Cheri Holden, and Mike Birrer were among the successful hunters who traded in their plastic pests for Hendrix memorabilia. Spurred on by a fired-up crowd the Warriors hit the century mark in a 100-85 win over the Bollweevils. Tuesday night, the Hendrix community joined together for a unique study break. Eat-It-Up night pitted teams from each of the brother-sister dorms in a food fest. Female team members downed chocolate cupcakes while their male counterparts consumed hotdogs. Then each of teams shared in the joy of forcing down a ring of jello in a effort to be the first to clean their plate. Although the battle was a close one, cheers such as shove it inf, just one more bite, and go throw it up, spurred the Martin-Galloway team of Greg Garrison and Melissa Izor to victory. Thursday night, the Warriors went on the warpath to Arkadelphia and found themselves out- matched in an exciting yet disappointing loss to the Henderson Reddies. Satur- day the Warriors attempted to bounce back in their con- test with SAU but were edged out in the final moments of the game. How ever, the dance in the Grove Gym lobby following the game was still a festive one, and Hendrix celebrated the general success of its teams thus far in the season. The fresh, novel contests helped rejuvinate the waning Hendrix spirit and Spirit Week '88 proved to be an enjoyable and successful one for all involved. Student Life 19
