 ftucldM for All right, let’s admit it. The typical student does not spend every evening buried under math equations. Week- ends are not always devoted to Shakespeare, Mark Twain or Stephen King. Also, if the average student were asked to choose be- tween mixing up a chemistry experiment or a pizza, the smell of tomato sauce and not sulphuric acid would fill the air. This tendency to not always choose the academic is what is covered in student life. The hours spent in a classroom may monopolize a student’s life but that isn't where he would always choose to be. But let’s not be too harsh. These extra things aren’t easy. Does it take more ener- gy to write a term paper or to plan a prom? Can a student work 20 hours a week, attend classes and be in three activi- ties? These questions can be an- swered by following a student through a typical week. It may be found that his life is as hec- tic outside the classroom as it is within. “Buckling down for play’’ may sound like a mixed-up phrase but it isn’t. Energy and results are required in all the activites that make up a stu- dent’s life. Junior Sean Lewis is one of many students who holds a part-time job while attending school. 7
