Scraps of time snatched from study and class schedules linger on and stretch out over coffee, cigarettes and conversation. Whether singly, doubly or in groups, students indulge in sim- ple pleasures: serious study of contemporary cards, the trium- phant setting of a slam hand, loosening a tie at a Saturday night party, rambling through a misty night past Beaumont, debating knee-length skirts and the Peace Corps, Ft. Lauderdale and the Rose Bowl, james Ioyce and student government. Yet even recreation is coupled with the same intense concen- tration devoted to serious endeavors - a concentration fostered by the realization that time is all too short and that even daily pleasures must be enjoyed hard to be enjoyed at all.
