Spare Tim< W o m a n ' s L( Sponsors a Steak Fry F a student is interested in activities, there is a very definite question as to how much time may be devoted to these activities with safety. Some students fail to find a proper balance between the two, and permit their activities to take too much time, with the result that studies and health both suffer. After all, the primary objective of the student should be in connection with his stud: and time devoted to activities should be considered, quite definitely, as of secondary importance. The student who is partly supporting himself, if he is earning both room and board, will work four to six hours a day, and will carry a reduced schedule of class work. There is a serious question as to whether or not the working student should attempt to take a part in extra-curricular activities at all. If he ( rries his studies, and supports himself, he is doing enough. The student who is not working to support himself can afford to spend from two to four hours each day in activities. Varsity sports are limited by conference agreement to two hours of practice per day. Intramural sports will not average more than an hour a day. Publications can take whatever time the student is able to give, from an hour a day up to several hours depending on the time available. Music, the bands, glee clubs, dramatics, and so on, will not average more than an hour a day, although at certain times they may take more. The Illinois Union, W o m a n ' s League, and organizations of this type offer such a variety of work that the student may spend whatever amount of time he desire in them. This is an added benefit from a large variety of activities—the choice may be based on the amount of time available. m ri •::t •; ri or pknd ton I 10 R The Editorial Staff of t h e Y e a r Hook k
