Hobbies at Wilkes College fall into two basic categories: weekday distractions and weekend destructions, and every school day is a never ending study of how to avoid studying. Some Wilkes students spend their spare hour or two tor three or fouo playing pool, football, cards, darts or a variety of stimulating games. Others spend their days reading science fiction, picking guitars, or looking at their favorite magazines. Still others spend their time working up a good sweat. Weekends usually call for something a little more planned out, a little more elab- orate. The energetic students fill their weekends skiing, repeling, camping or similar activities. The majority, however, concentrate on killing a few brain cells. Some enhance their drinking and party- ing pleasures with dates, others find a few friends, and still others sadly bow over a lonely glass. For better or for worse, everyone has his hobby; his non.- technical interests which broaden his intellectual horizons, enrich his personal depth, but most of all, protect his mental health:

Not All Weekends Are Fun And Games 28 It's amazing how many Wilkes stu- dents spend their whole week wishing it was Friday e and when Friday, comes, they can't think of anything to do with the weekend. They have two whole days of no classes and no way to spend all that free time. Some stu- dents play catch up e they either catch up on their sleep or their study- ing. Others take in the CPA. flick and then stay up all night watching the late late shows on Channel 11 or 44. Nurds visit the library to count the books; health fanatics take walks through beautiful downtown Wilkes-Barre. Many dorm residents sit around for hours contemplating places to eat within walking distance. Some over- rule their lazy instincts and walk to Center lounge to hang out or read the bulletin boards. If it's raining twhich it usually isl, some people just sit by their windows and day dream while pretending to study theories behind falling rain. Of course. when all else fails, the bored weekender can resort to the last resort - he can call home and tell Mom and Dad what a great time he's having!
