EnEEininiiir. ' iiHriHi Eiil i n evening at llu- Blue liooin is jii l llu lliiiif; for that special occasion. time out for weekend fun Time fnr fun is never neglected at Tulane. It doesn ' t lake much for a criiwd to make a week-end complete with merri- ment. Although conventional, the formals given hy the vari- ous campus organizations and social groups are still the favorite. The formal itself is a special night because that special person is your date, and because fraternity pins and declarations of affection are often exchanged on such nights. For more rowdy times, the fraternities supply Saturday night parties. I to use the polite word ) . However, they are actually referred to as ' blasts. There are often costume brawls and therefore an opportunity for many to lose their inhiliitions — within university regulation, of course! There are ofl- nighls, too, when the French Quarter or a downtown movie is the attraction. Whatever the activities of .Saturday night, Sunday morning always rolls around, in many cases, far too soon. There are dates for church with dinner following in the dormitories. Sunday afternoons offer any and every sort of activity from outdoor sports, rides, and walks, to an afternoon in the li- brary with the free flick on Sunday night. .As the week-end draws to a close, the dim prospect of the coming week is faced, bearable because of the knowledge of another week- end five days hence.

studying is a habit llli llu week beginning anew, we tell ourselves that we will begin over and make the days worthwhile. The plan for the lime between weekends is one of study. The library becomes crowded with students, some using books on reserve, some looking up material for that term paper that must be handed in to meet a deadline, or some just trying to convince them- selves that they are studying. Many of the students are fired with ambition to accomplish a great deal, perhaps a week ' s work in one night, but soon each loses his ambition as the weekends fun and lack of sleep creeps up on him. Then there are those who make use of the library as a means to squeeze in a date. Study dates are increasing in popularity. hether it be the study or the date cannot always be deter- mined! In this week of good intentions and reformed actions, study- ing even takes place in the dormitories. It ' s a good place for group study and finding out from others how much you don ' t know. Staying awake is not as great a problem with someone to constantly probe you with questions. (Alertness is another matter!) The week begins with a bang and an earnest drive which must continue throughout the week, or we fall by the wayside in a rut that is not easy to escape. Usually there is an overwhelmingly large number of unoc- cupied seats at the library in the afternoon. Good intentions fail, as sleep overcomes the ambitious student.
