STUDY POLL
QUESTION:
What is your favorite study spoil
In an academic institution, one of the major
problems for the student is finding a place to
study. After extensive research and numerous
polls,
Scripts 'n Pranks has found amazing facts
concerning the study habits of the Davidson
student. (See chart below)
The most popular place, it seems, is a small
cabaret up the road - Truckers' Inn. Next we see
the Anchor Grill, a delightful tavern just outside
the metropolitan area of Davidson. Unfortunately,
the Hugh A. and Jane Parks Gray Memorial Li-
brary, located on the south Quadrangle of the
campus, is at the tail end of the list.
(It
would seem
that the local abortive attempt at a newspaper is

wrong in its extreme condemnation of that high-
ly-regarded, little-used blight on the campus
lawn.)
The other places mentioned in the poll were the
students' own rooms, sorority houses at Queens,
and several dormitory rooms at Queens, whose
occupants seem to orient themselves toward the
academic life.
After the shocking results of the polls became
apparent, the
Scripts 'n Pranks staff decided
to
analyze the situation. Certainly the Davidson
Gentleman would study more in other places than
Truckers' Inn (known locally as "Hattie's") and
The Anchor. A plan was presented by our Su-
preme Editor and immediately carried out-for
two weeks we, the staff, stayed at those two spots
day and night. This article is the fruition of this
two-week Sabbatical up the road, and others to the
rest of the places mentioned in the poll. Of
course, some time was spent in mild hallucinations
before the final draft of the Analysis (hereafter
known as S&P Publication 7069.)
