Hanging Out. .. A Most Enjoyable Pastime One of the more enjoyable pastimes for the average Howard student is surely “hang mg out. Usually this type of recreation doesn't involve a great deal of money or cf fort. All one needs is either a slight break between classes or a sizeable portion of the day with nothing to do. Warm weather Fridays seem to be the generally accepted times for mass Howard hang out sessions The variety of hang out forums are endless on the campus. The favorite place is in front of the Blackburn building. On any given warm weather Friday. this place will resemble a Chinese fire drill. All of the different Greek-letter organizations have their particular congregating areas The sigmas have their monument on the lawn in front of Lock Hall, the Ques have their sundial sitting prominently in the middle of the campus, and the Kappas have their tree on the lawn in front of Founders Library Strategically arranged benches provide ample seating places for those who just want to quietly escape the madness. For those who prefer just to stretch their limbs and relax, there are plenty of trees and even more lawn space over main campus for quasi-nature buffs. One of the more colorful hang-out spots is the area surrounding the College of Fine Arts. These students have somehow managed to turn hanging-out into an art form. In that area of the campus, one can also expect a joyous celebration of life and more specifically, free time It should go without saying that when the weather becomes Inclement, the most popular hangout spot is the Punch-Out, located on the ground floor of the Student Center The food is not the primary attraction here, so it must be the people and the music. Besides the notorious Punch-Out. the Student Center has all sorts of devices to take a student's mind away from such mundane things as schoolwork. As this piece is being written, someone has probably found another place to hang out that has yet to be discovered. All in all. hanging out at times is epidemic. One should just be a little cautious that it doesn't become terminal. Robert Warren —
