Break Away And Relax THE WILD WEEKENDS The Weekend — saying this phrase gives pleasure to many students. After a week of grueling tests, endless pages of reading, and attending numerous extracurricular activities, the thought of having two days off is the only hope for some students. Week¬ ends are a time of relax¬ ation, a time when a per¬ son can unwind and forget about the problems synonymous with the weekday. Gone are the text books, notes, and cal¬ culators which have ac¬ companied the student all week, and students are busily digging out the fris- bees, tennis rackets, foot¬ balls, and various other recreational paraphernalia which have had a five day rest. One can tell the week¬ end has started when wit¬ nessing the massive exo¬ dus to the Regal Beagle, Ohio Theatre 2, or other hot spots throughout the community. Parties are by far the most popu¬ lar night-time activity on the weekends, and one can be sure to have a good time visiting with old friends, discovering new friends, as well as having a beer or two to be sociable. Others go off campus to catch a good movie, shop at the Lima Mall, or dance until the morning hours. Some are content to stay in and catch a few extra winks of sleep which they rapidly lost during the week, wash the pile of clothes which have accumulated in the closet, or even catch up on homework not finished during the week. All too soon, it is Sun¬ day evening, and students are frantically doing the homework they left go, or having a final fling at a par¬ ty. Monday comes, and the weekend is only a memory. However, thoughts and plans for the next weekend are in the making, and students are looking forward to anoth¬ er time of rest and relax¬ ation which has become synonymous with the word weekend. Hi Mom! Send money please. I miss you and teddy does too! says Brenda Haas during a phone call home to get rid of the homesick blues. Time to get together with friends is what the weekend is all about to most students including Tim Bruhn, Andy Hendrickson, and Eric Johnson. STUDENT LIFE 13

U Got The Look! Exercise and great fashion are one in the same for Damon Henderson and Michelle Turkish. This cool outfit on Damon Hender¬ son might make him a little intimi¬ dating if one met him in dark alley. Modeling the latest in trendy, ca¬ sual outfits are Stephanie Villani (wearing a very popular item on campus — the miniskirt) and An¬ thony Gholson. FASHION AND TALENT SHOW Considering that some students stay up to all hours of the night study¬ ing, one would think that when their alarm goes off at some insane hour that fashion would be the far¬ thest thing from their minds. However, some would much rather die than be caught in old, ripped sweat pants and a faded sweat shirt. But how can these students keep up with the latest trends and styles? Well, for the last three years, the Black Student Union has of¬ fered some help. They sponsored a Fashion and Talent Show in Presser Hall. “U got the look” was this year ' s theme which definitely described the models. There were 14 fe¬ male models and 10 male student models who par¬ ticipated. They showed off a wide variety of fash¬ ions including casual, sportswear, trendy, and formal outfits. The pro¬ gram included a poetry reading by Arlene Col- lender and a piano solo by Bryan Flournoy, and was followed by a dance in McIntosh. What an excit¬ ing evening it was! 14 STUDENT LIFE
