r Is there such a thing as an action weekend on campus after the football season? There i8 if you know where to look. Here is a sum- mary of the very typical weekend of Decem- ber3, 4, 5, 1971. Start your weekend on a high intellectual level, if you get out of classes early Friday, by attending one of the fine department col- loguia. At 3:30, Dr. Kenneth Lebosk lectures on 'the genetic energy of wheat'! If you find that doesn't match your interests there is always 'artificial lungs' by a guest lecturer from Carnegie Mellon at 3:45 in DuPont. Mext stop if you are a resident student is din- rer in your faverite dining hall featuring roast beef for the fifth consecutive night. At dinner, pick up several friends or one particular one and head out to Smith where that great movie 'Diary of a Mad Housewife' is playing in theatre 140. Mot enough sex? Well then, leave, and at 8:15 try attending either a senior recital in Mitchell or E-52 Lab Theatre in Wolf performing 'Hedda Gabler. Top off the evening with Goldie's where Brown Jenkin and the Sweet Potato Band are fea- tured. If you're just getting started after all this, just follow your nose to the nearest dorm or fraternity party and the rest of the gvening is made. Saturdays never begin until noon except if you're lucky enough to have an 8 AM 25 class. A leisurely wake up lunch can be fol- lowed by a stroll up to Carpenter for some physical exertion in paddleball, basketball, etc. and a stop in the pool to watch the swim team down Franklin and Marshall. An alter- native would be a visit to the new ice skating rink. Following dinner the roast beef turned into chow mein it is time for another movie: 'On Any Sunday' at the State, 'Klute' at the Cinema Center, or 'Prime of Miss Jean Brodie' at Smith. 'Jean Brodie' is only 75 s0 that is where everyone goes. If you would like to enjoy some live theatre again, some people are putting on scenes from 'Man for All Seasons at the Newman Center. If the Sweet Potato got to you last night you can catch them again. Otherwise, why not take over someone's dorm room and start your own party? There is a variety of Sunday services if you make the effort to arise from a likely numb state. The library is always a favorite Sunday afternoon spot, but if you care to do some touring, a free bus leaves for the Hagley and Delaware Art Museums at 1 PM. Every Sun- day evening has its slate of activities. You can count on riotous comedy every week at the SGA meeting. More restrained comedy is offered by the Ace Trucking Company in Carpenter. For serious film freaks there is a showing of' Claude Chabrol's 'La Femme In- fidele' with a discussion afterwards at the Wesley House. A final alternative exists in a symphonic band concert. Before you realize it, it's Monday.
