PLACES PEOPLE H 7 i i7f .ffl-el IIYHAKI Party? A rager? Where? . . .BBQ at-wait, where's that? Seattle? . . . No, how 'bout Dick's at ten? Yeah, after the game. No gas? O.K., O.K., then where's it at? 7-Eleven or Denny's-what'll it be? Decent. Another Friday night playing video games. So where is it at for MIHS students on those long weekend nights? lt could be practically anyplace offering lots of food and requiring little money. lSo it sounds like a GO TO JAIL card, so what?l If the student feels a bit exotic, he may go to the Big City lSeattle for all you poor, sheltered yuppies out therel and grab a Dick's Deluxe or a Domino's pizza. Some may cap off that special trip out to the dark and mysterious streets of the Emerald City with hours of dance-till-you-drop fun. Whether one checks out the Gorilla Gardens for wild and crazy slam dancing or travels to Schoochie's for some more down-to- earth groovin', the night is sure to include some fascinating people- watching, if nothing else. Nice hair, honey. Way to spike it . . . Oh my, lt's not even female. Way to be. For the less daring, however, Bellevue Square in all its suburban splendor seems much more inviting. Bellevue, the intellectual and STAY architectural equivalent of Free Parking, offers a wide variety of shopping possibilities within the pearly gates of The Square-a haven for the notoriously well- endowed pocketbooks of Mercer Island youth. Like a rummy pile, this battleship of shopping malls presents an ideal place for picking up that crucial ace, that hot T-shirt, or that even hotter member of the opposite sex-that is, for those that can tell the difference. l'BelSquare is rad. l-lot-Dog on a stik, Jay Jay's and Eastside Catholic guys. I like it, bubbles senior Lauren Guzak. But for those of us who, for lack of money, creativity, desire, or all of the above, fail to cross the watery walls of old M.l. to get our kicks, Poverty Rock does contain some places to which we can turn. Places like 7-Eleven, Denny's, Luther Burbank Park, and Dairy Queen. Good 'ol hometown places which still possess a taste of the sex and drugs and rock-and-roll of the outside world. flfiguratively speaking, of course.l Hey, doesn't it feel good sometimes to land on one's own property? Suuuure! But it feels even better to pass it and collect 200 dollars. That's where it's at. l4 l-IANGOUTS

CUT THE HAIR It's your turn to cut the deck. You arrive at your appointment ten minutes late. Quaking in nervous anticipation, you tell the receptionist your name. She hands you a puce- colored poncho to put on. Wondering how sanitary it is, you follow her to the washbowl. Then CYN-thia begins the wash. The strange aromas of apple, peach, and strawberry waft through the air. Smelling thoroughly of overripe fruit salad, you march to the imminent death of your golden locks. The chick that's doing the cutting has four-layered, five-toned hair, and you could probably scrape off her makeup with a chisel. She cuts. You panic. You pay. And then you go home and salvage what's left of your hair. Jrirvlrkicicickukicic So why go through with it? Why bother with the agony of defeat, the feeling one receives from spending an entire month's allowance to look like a monk on his way to a Dead Kennedys show? Why? For the thrill of victory. For the rush of pleasure the new bob, flattop, ducktail or perm evokes when one can look in the mirror and say, l'Oooh, baby, you do look good! So cut the deck and hope the hand comes up aces.
