1994 Miracle Yearbook

What are you doing this weekend? Whetherin Humanities,19th Century Brit- ish Literature, Biology, or New Testament Survey, students all over campus wear the "Fridayface"ofanticipationfortheapproach- ing weekend. Their attention focuses on plans for rest, relaxation,and recreation,or a combination of these, rather than on the lecture material or lab reports. Granted, homework and studytime must hold a place in those plans, but what is a weekend with- out a little excitement? Students without cars optfor Open Heirs on Friday nights, while others may set up a volleyball match in the Athletic Center or invite theirfriendsforagameof ping pong in the Gavelyte,or take in a home basketball, soccer, baseball, track, or other intercolle- giate game,depending on the season. The college also sponsors numerous ac- tivities during every quarter such as Late Night Ice/Roller Skate, Udders and Putters, horseback riding, canoeing, ski trips, and Reds games. Many Christian ministries also meet during the weekend. Special concerts and quarterly plays are also held in Alford Auditorium and the chapel. Forthose with vehicles,the planning possi- bilities seem infinite. King's Island is a great idea for the spring quarter; Dayton Bomber's games fit well with the winter term. Christian concerts are often held at Grace Brethren in Columbusand Memorial Hall in Dayton. Golf- ing and bowling are always worthy of consid- eration, and for the more culturally-oriented students, the hot spots include the Dayton Ballet, Opera, or a visit to an art museum. Avoiding Chuck's and eating out at Shoney's, Perkins,or Burger King is on the top ofsome students' lists for a Friday or Saturday night. And who could forget the mall?
