IFF FROM PEP it's thursday night! Unstructured weekends provide Seaver students freedom and diversity. While it contrasted somewhat from most university's prime-time rest and relaxation period, at Seaver College this slightly extended weekly intermission had already become a tradition of sorts. With the end of classes on Thursday afternoon, the weekend officially began for most students (whether they had classes on Friday or not) as they briefly cast their academic anxieties aside and prepared to enjoy a “no holds barred weekend. As freshman Kevin Wilson put it. Thursday nights were more like Friday nights, because everyone leaves on Friday. Yet. whether it was making the local gathering at the Hat (Pep jargon for Straw Hat Pizza), mingling at Trancas, or cruising Westwood, one could be sure that Pep s students were always where the action was. I think of Thursday night as the weekend, but I try to get home earlier than 1 would on Friday’s and Saturday's. stated sophomore Macs Stewart. As Thursday night fever became Friday morning exhaustion, students either slept in from their previous evening rendezvous or wearily ached through their schedule of classes before preparing to crash out for some more hours of sleep. As one student said. If I go out on Thursday night. I usually don’t go to classes on Friday. Friday afternoons at Seaver College almost instinctively seemed to generate a curious hush on campus which was evident by the absence of student's cars which had already left for the weekend, or were positioned along dorm rows waiting to depart. This obvious decline in campus population over the weekend has created a suitcase campus atmosphere at Seaver College, where students departed on weekends and arrived back in time to resume their Monday morning classes. In short, the commuter-style campus environment allowed students at Seaver College to pursue their own diverse interests. The weekends. sophomore Kelly Moore said, are boring, there's nothing to do. I usually end up in Westwood. While freshman Linda Reiff enjoyed the opportunity the weekends provided. I leave to visit friends. For students like Nicholas Iracleous, weekends provided a much needed escape. “1 leave because I need to go out. Coming from another country. I want to visit; I want to see California.” But for others, the Saturdays and Sundays which passed in much the same fashion around campus, also gave some students a chance to get some real work done and avoid the distractions usually associated with dorm life, which on weekends also seemed to undergo a subtle transformation as a cherished haven of solitude conducive to studying.
