Recently, however, students' relief from routine miseries has been met with a dull blow. Raucous Friday afternoons have turned into subdued coke parties which offer little consolation to each work-weary stu- dent. Campus spots sell coke by the pitcher to underage students, while those students of age are met with longing eyes as they walk by with their pitchers filled with some- thing other than coke. However, T.G.I.Fing still remains an opportunity to meet friends and to exchange notes on the week just passed. Students look forward to Friday afternoon parties even though it may mean cramming Friday night for a Saturday hour exam.
