Jreat Friday Exodus W Ww anna go out to lunch? one MSU ;retary asked another on the phone one Friday rning. Are you crazy, on Friday? the second one lied. Every student on campus goes home Friday. By the time we make it off campus, our ch hour will be over! 1SU, according to some students, is becoming suitcase college. In other words, too many m residents are considering home to be their m residence and they live out of their suit- es during the week in the dorm. Not so, oth- argue; the traffic ' s worse on Fridays this year because MSU ' s enrollment has increased, not because a larger percentage of students go home. Special alliances often develop between stu- dents who habitually stay on campus during weekends. My best friend in the whole dorm is a girl I never met until one weekend when we met in the elevator, said a Cresswell freshman. On the other hand, students who ride home together on Fridays also become fast friends. I know of a couple whose families were always ' feuding ' in Indianola, said one Hightower resident. He laughed, anticipating. There ' s going to be some very loud fireworks sounding off in between their wedding bell chimes! Students go home on weekends for different reasons. Some general agriculture majors go home to their fathers ' farm on weekends; many students go home because they have weekend jobs. Others go home to get a decent meal, to see their boyfriend or girlfriend, or to participate in special family or hometown events. And some do go home every weekend to see their parents. I am very impressed, said Margaret Estes, vice-president of academic affairs, by the close relationships between Mississippi State students and their parents. Impressing, yes. So is the number of cars leaving campus during lunch hour on Friday. left: Connie Smith of Starkville goes home on week- ends long enough to wash and dry her clothes for the next week, below: This Hightower resident adds a jacket and a dirty sneaker to the homeward-bound col- lection of goods on the back seat of his car.
