In the afternoon, a time for relaxation Mornings are for work, but afternoons are for fun these words echo the sentiments of many a Michigan scho- lar. Theoretically, one could study in the afternoon, and not have to stay up till all hours finishing that paper for to- morrow. But then again, books will always wait and the afternoon sun won ' t. There is no feeling quite so exhilirating as the end of that class at 3:00. Freedom until tomorrow morning! What ' ll it be? A quick pool game at the Union, a shopping spree, or maybe just a stroll across the lawn under tiny spring leaves? A coffee date, or a good workout at the IM?

But at Michigan, where cars are hard to come by and taxis expensive, a short hike in heels becomes just another part of the evening ' s fun. Good linn v ran take many forms, from the big dance to the informal Saturday night movie date. Not too many people in the outside world would wait in line for a film but at any Ann Arbor theater the only alternative to pre-9:00 o ' clock boredom is reading every line of the advertisements. 17

In the evening, things to do together Apartments arc a convenient adjunct to rampu.s living their chief distinction being their suitability for that unique in- stitution, the apartment pary. Such gatherings usually take on a slightly Bohemian air. A few couples, a stack of records, and a little liquid refreshment combine to raise youthful spirits almost anytime. Candles and checkered tablecloths transform the Union ' s basement grill into a Latin Quarter cellar cafe each Friday night, as the Little Club swings into being. For the athletically inclined, an evening of fun can be built around :ui walrr games, played at either the Women ' s I ' ool or thr I.M.
