T.G.I.F. Hang in There - the Weekend's Coming! eekends and breaks are the two most talked about events on campus. After a long hard week of endless hours in the LRC and frequent all nighters, students are ready to relax and enjoy the weekend. There are many things that students do to enhance their weekend. For most all ORU students, the weekend begins always on Friday night. Since everyone has waited all week for this day, very few are even think- ing about hitting the books fonly a few During retreat, Sarah Porterfield, Darren Ingram, Janet Crites, Kelli Donovan, and the rest of Young- blood and Gucci enjoy a Kansas City Royals game.

Most cele- brate this night with their friends at a movie, at the mall, or just in one friend's room while they all watch TV or just clown around. Sat- urday usually begins with everyone's favor- ite activity - sleep! By lunch most are up and ready to hit SAGA for their first meal of the day. After- wards, it's time to visit the LRC for a few hours until nighttime comes once again. As darkness slowly covers the sky, ORU students are back with their friends to enjoy some more weekend fun. Sunday is a pretty mellow day for most, with church in the moming, a nap possibly and studying for sure, and then back to church or vespers or just more studying. Even more welcomed than weekends are the breaks which seem to come at the most needed times. Some favorite vacation spots include Florida, the Padre Islands, Colo- rado, fduring the snowy monthsl, and good ol' home sweet home. Some students and some wings spend this time ministering on a short missions trip. However you spend your vacations or weekends, one thing is for sure: They never seem to be long enough. - Gina Megna

4 Help! Jena Mangiapane is ovenvhelmed by the wing shirts of ORU. Solid Rock shows its pride in chapel. Shirts of Many Colors Friend or Foe? our wing sells doughnuts to finance them, and you have saved to buy them. You along with your wingmates help to decide what they will look like. One of the chairmen on your floor sends the order in and then approximately 30 people wait for the order to come in. When they finally ar- rive, you and everyone else on your wing can hardly wait to show them off in SAGA, chapel, and especially intramural games. What are they? Why of course! Those won- derful wing shirts. Wing shirts seem to have become more than a fad but quite a tradition at ORU. They may be just a simple t-shirt, a jersey, sweat shirt, or shirt of the latest styles, but no matter what type of shirt is used, it's the de- 7 sign on the shirt that makes it special. The design usually says a lot about the wing's personality. Some wings even have several different shirts each year to represent their wing, but almost all wings have at least one wing shirt. Wing shirts, - they're fun, colorful, and patriotic. By the time you graduate from ORU, you could have a whole wardrobe of Wmgshms! - Riley Duggan iving with a roommate in college requires more than just sharing a room, but more of communicat- ing, patience, and understanding. lt definitely requires a lot of giving and some , Wing Fashions X Roommates .IZ A W .,. , . taking on the part of both roomies. Some roommates conquer this with no problem while others really battle it out . . . and l mean battle! Being best of friends is probably the easi- est way to live with another person. How- ever, some would rather have a challenge rather than find the easy way out. These types of roommates merely tolerate each other. Still, there are the roomies who really cannot even stand each other. They could not care less if the other disappeared and would probably not even notice. After living with my best friend for two and a half years now, I will have to say that being best of friends is the only way to room together. - Riley Duggan
