always close at hand. Some used the weekend to catch up on homework that had piled up from the previous week. Still others used the day for shopping and visiting. As the prices of gasoline, movies, and dinner continued to rise, allowances did not seem to go as far as they used to. It was often necessary to get a Saturday job just to support the evening's activities. Admittedly, there were some weekends that were somewhat less than exciting. For those weekends, a special activity was reserved. It was known as sleeping late. This was preferably done in a warm bed, beginning at almost any hour, and continuing till at least ten a.m. For those in school, this comfort was denied during the week.

On Friday nights, the Scrappers took to the field to conquer their adversaries and to maintain their well known winning tradition. On Saturdays, radios were tuned to the Razorbacks as they strove for that elusive 1 ranking. Football dominated, only to be replaced after the playoffs with basketball. The night was only part of the weekend. In their respective seasons, any outdoor sports could fill the day. Excellent facilities for tennis, swim- Livin’ for the Weekend 14 Student Life
