Well, I did that one day. Luckily the rest of the milk wasn't contaminated! more students go out in search of one. Reasons for obtaining employment range from financial need to sheer boredom. Shaun Romero, an employee of Burger Chef, went looking for a job because he got tired of not having any money to do anything. The feeling was mutual for A 81 W employee Iodie Mares - UI got the job so I could have money whenever I wanted, to do what I wanted. Even though having a job can create homework conflicts and poor sleeping habits lsometimes in class!l, most students felt the positive benefits outweighed the negative. Says Iodie, What I like gnost is it gives me something to do, but it makes me at! Nonetheless, being employed is not all fun and games. Sometimes an employee will mess up and that can be very embarrassing, but we must learn from our mistakes and push on.

l mpifl Review The ringing in of 1984 meant more than the presidental election to the hundreds of young men and women that had trained long and hard for their life time goal - the Olympics. On May 8, the tradition of the Olympic torch relay began in New York. The summer events were held in Los Angeles where the U.S. athletes were awarded 174 medals, an Olympic record. Among the achievers most recognized were Mary Lou Retton, the first U.S. woman gymnast to ever receive a perfect score of 10 in the vault competition. Along with that gold metal, Mary Lou also took home two silvers and a bronze. Carl Lewis, speedster and leaper of the Men's Track team was yet another star to watch. Lewis anchored the 400 meter relay team which broke the world time record of 37.83 seconds. Lewis also won in the 200, 100 and long jump events. Mary Decker, the 3,000 meter runner favored to win, suffered a great deal of physical pain and heartbreak when she was tripped by young Zola Budd, the barefoot runner from Great Britain. The winter Olympics were held in Sarajevo and many athletes came home with medals in hand. Bill johnson brought home a old medal for his performance in the Men's Downhill competition. Steve and Phil Mahre both received medals in the slalom. The twins could now be distinguished apart, for Steve took the silver and Phil took the gold. Torvill and Dean, partners in the couples figure skating competition, skated their blades off to earn the gold medal. Practice really did pay off for all athletes that just qualified, even if they didn't receive a medal. The next four years will be dedicated to more hard work, in preparation for the Olympics in 1988. Torvill and Dean performed to perfection in the couples Ice Dancing competition. N '-1.-ir Phil Mahre races to the bottom and wins the gold in the Menis Slalom. Olympic Review 25
