Among the Poetry, Women in Business, Art and Pottery classes, students find much to their chagrin; that they must also take such required courses as Elementary English, Bibliography, P.E., Biology, and the inevitable four terms of Humanities discussions and lectures. Clever students that take advantage of these to make H can improve their sense of accomplishment, self-esteem, and grade point average. Others who prefer more stimulating activities such as staying out late, oversleeping, and cutting classes find the Humanities Lecture Hall the perfect place to catch a quick nap, the Bibliography classes a source of daily funny papers, and the Elementary English classes an outlet for more and less humorous essays that express their frustra- tions with being placed on academic probation.

What possesses men to work all day, to attend classes all evening, and to study half the night? Can it be self-actualization? Maslow must be smiling. Evening students are a hardy and ever-growing breed on the UNC-A campus. A combination of WCU, UNC-A, and special non-degree workers and parents fill the parking lots to capacity Mon- day through Thursday evenings.

Sacrificing hobbies, television, and family time surely proves their persistence, determination and pride in accomplishment. EVENING STUDENTS 28
