The heat of summer and school is on. As the pressures mount, students seek the change in atmosphere provided by a week- end away from the Paper Chase. Any given weekend will find the hillsides strewn with the bodies of sunworshipers, the lakes with the buzz of swimmers, skiers, and boaters, and the mountains with the solitude of hikers and campers. For those wishing a more commercial get- away, Gatlinburg is a popular spot to shop, visit tourist traps or just ski on artificial turf. The iiSinks, a favorite watering hole be- tween Gatlinburg and Cades Cove, is a fa- vorite spot for UT students to practice swim- ming, diving or basic beer-drinking. 'iThe Sinks are beautiful and a perfect place to go after hiking. - Lee Marsh, junior, engineering iiThe Ramblini Raft Race is one of the great social events of the year. With that many people enjoying themselves on the river, ifs bound to be a good time. We have already started planning our raft for next year. i, - Greg Scott, sophomore, finance Although not for the faint-hearted, rock diving is a popular past time at the Sinks where dives of 25 feet and more can be made. The pools are natural forma- tions in the park with steep walls and clear waters.
