Students Pursue Varied Weekend Diversions
During the week, the daily academic-athletic routine governed the life of every student: bell . . . classes . . . chapel . . bell . . . lunch . .ยท. classes . . . bell . . . athletics . . . all within the confines of the campus.
Every cloud has its silver lining, however, and when the bells rang on Friday evening and Saturday, some of them at least marked the time when a man was on his own with the question: what to do with the free time?
Most often the decision reached was for a couple of hours to be spent at a movie, perhaps dinner in downto~ Lynchburg, or "Have what's-her-name get
me a date." Every student's weekend was not so spent. Some preferred to catch up on sleep, watch television, find a challenging pool companion, or use the time to conquer a backlog of study. For others, just staying on campus, enjoying the tennis, the basketball court, taking it easy with a new record was ambition enough for a weekend.
A walk around campus. In and out of stores. A pretty girl and two of her friends. Students used the time to offset five days of hard work. Then there came again the inevitable Monday morning and the same insistent and implacable bell.
John Hannan and David Clark wonder whether or not they should - one of the latest cinema attractions of downtown Lynchburg.
