Weekends were made for Taylor University Monday, Tuesday, Happy Days, Wednesday, Thursday, Happy Days . . . but the real happy days come to Taylor on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Thank God for weekends! Its quite surprising how many and varied the weekend activities are here in Upland. Weekend events range from going to the Upland auction to driving to Muncie for a movie. Openhouse occupies a great deal of time for students during the weekenu. From 7-12 pm on Fridays and Satur- days the dorms are open to members of the opposite sex. During this time students play cards, listen to the ste- reo, watch TV, talk, and engage them- selves in a variety of other activities. Going out to eat is another fun week- end activity. Whether it ' s to Hoes for a shake or to McDonald ' s for a burger, or to Homestead for pizza and a free pitch- er of pop, students enjoy dining out and getting off-campus for a while. Traveling home is another enjoyable weekend event. Guys look forward to this so they can indulge in Mom ' s ho- mecooked meals. Whatever the rea- soning, students also find going home a welcome escape from studies. When the weekend comes to a close on Sunday, one finds many Taylor stu- dents worshipping in one of the com- munity ' s churches. After church, most students head to the D.C. for the usual Sunday dinner . . . fried chicken. The noon meal is followed by a nap or a long afternoon and evening spent studying for those Monday classes.

Student employment can be fun In order to help absorb some of the cost of tuition, many Taylor students found themselves seeking employment for the school year. For most, jobs proved easy to find. A variety of sources, both on Taylor campus and in the surrounding areas are offered to students for employment. For instance, one of the more popu- lar on-campus employers is the Dining Commons. The D.C. offers students a variety of positions ranging from filling the salad bar to serving potatoes in Wengatz line. The library is another key location for employement on campus. Library workers, under the direction of Dr. Dickey, also find themselves in a variety of positions. Library workers do any- thing from reshelving books to typing late book return notices. Dorm desk jobs are sometimes fa- vored most by the students. Offered mostly to upperclassmen, desk jobs are favored because workers can do their homework as well as man their posi- tion. However, Olson Hall desk workers received an added responsibility this year with the opening of the Olson Hall Store. Desk workers became cashiers. Although the last three constitute the major on-campus employers, students have also found jobs in a variety of oth- er places. For instance, some students sort mail for the post office, some shov- el snow for maintenance, and others operate the switchboard. Off-campus job opportunities range from babysitting to delivering pizza. Some students find it difficult to carry a full load of classes and hold down a job, but when pay day comes, the bene- fits pay off.
