Page 17 text:

catt fiuaA, Being somewhat unique is definitely an on-going tradi- tion at Troy State University. Most people look forward to Friday ' s, other ' s to Saturday ' s or even Sunday ' s. But here the weekends begin on Thursday nights. What difference does this make? Well, for one thi ng, it means the weekend starts early (five p.m. on Thursdays at the latest). The main rea- son for Thursday Night Out , most students would agree, is that a large percent- age of TSU students pack up and head home on Fridays. Therefore, in order to have as many students and as much partying as possible, the action starts on Thursday Nights. Also it means Friday classes are not a welcome part of the week, especially during spring quarter. And as always, Monday morning continues to sneak up too soon. Not to worry though; Thursday is only four days away. Special Thursday night n - tivities include band parties featuring entertainment like Poo Nanny , Eli , and Klass . Another special fea- ture of Thursday night are fraternity parties. These par- ties attract big crowds with promises of hot music, danc- ing and familiar friendly faces. Night spots such as the Front Porch, Cheers and Bumper ' s draw students out of the dorms and into the swing of Troy ' s unique night life with band parties and special contests. During the fall, Homecom- ing brings a sevenday week- end to TSU and gets every- one in a festive mood. Win- hursdiv Night 13
