If It’s Not One Thing It’s Another OLLAR DAYS may pieaie please orrow five dollars? I pro- mise I will pay you back! Admit it. This phrase has a out of students’ mouths even when they did have some cash, right? Yeah, everyone knows the story; no money means no movies, no records, no tapes, and so on ... No money means no fun! This being the case, many students must face the big dilemma of OB- TAINING MONEY!! People solve this cash problem in various ways. The easiest and most popular method of obtaining money is asking the folks or setting up a system for an allowance. Most receive $10-$40 per week depending on the conditions of the tee with parents. “Whenever I need money to Bo out, I call my dad ‘Daddy’, and he usually gives in,”” said Lea McCon- nell, senior. If a weekly allowance fails to Dad, 6 Ten dollars always lasts me about a day.”’ said Lacy Hawn, freshman satisfy a students monetary neds, a job may become necessary. Baby- sitting, putting time in at a food place or a clothes store are the most popular choices. Working is the hardest way to obtain money. “When work gets really tiring, I try to remember that I am getting paid,” said Christy Abbey, senior. The last and most convenient solu- tion to the cash problem is borrow- ing from faa “T usually get money from whoever will give it to me,” said Scott Hammer, junior. After borrowing it though, students must repay the money and it is time once again for that big smile and “Did you have a nice day?” trick to get a dollar from Dad. So the next time the checking account is in the negatives, or the IMPACT machine spits out the card, or parents just smile and say “‘sorry”’, just remember that you’re not the only one... st, Amy Bradley @ USING the IM- PACT machine for some spare cash are sophomores Dorsey Fillmore, Jennifer Davis and Lisa Maddock.

Photo by Jerry Jane Walling If It’s Not One Thing It’s Another 1G HANG UP “homework?” - re you on the hone?” “Yes. ‘““‘Have you finished your Swan NO. ¢ eV Then get off!” “ Where friends are concerned, it seems that on the average school night, the phone never meets the receiver. When some news just can- not wait until the morning, the easiest thing to do is pick up the phone and dial seven numbers. In the middle of studying, the ring of the telephone is sometimes music to the ears. Siblings fight over the phone, and sometimes the only solution is to assign hours to the family. “I hardly 2 ever get to talk because my sister is always on the phone,” said And Weil, junior. “What phone? I can't use the phone after 6:30,” said Can- dice Chase, sophomore. @ Somehow I always end up talking longer than I had planned.” said Gret- chen Schlachter, junior Student Life If It’s Not One Thing It’s Another Even’ worse, when the time comes to call someone, it seems like everyone is gone or cannot talk. “When you are sitting at home and you have time to talk, does the phone ring? No! But when you have to be somewhere in a hurry it rings ... it never fails,” said Mary Jane Rumley, sophomore. Girls seem to talk on the phone longer than boys; “I spend so much time on the phone — about two hours total,’” said Medora Thomas, senior. Boys talk on the phone “about an hour ... mostly to girls,” said Carter Carrao, senior. Without phones, though, how would you know if anyone was home or not? What would happen to gossip? How could rumors be spread? How could you make phone pranks? It is hard to imagine life without them. §{3 Amy Bradley a Ie Ze ee JRE Lf 4 ‘ a “a - y m
