ADDKATSAUCE wr: W if mi-fi A or richer or for poorer Students hunt to find time for johs and schoolwork Despite the money made for ef- forts, many problems arise for working students. Time for homework, social, and extra curricular activities is scarce. Students are forced to regulate time everywhere. Margaret Ashley re- membered summer as a hectic time. Social life was down to a mini- mum. junior Terri Luper said, You have to give and take a little. In- stead of going to a party every Fri- day night, you only get to go every now and then. Another problem which affects Khan Dao, like many students, is Senior Stephanie Morton stares intently as she neatly stacks shirts at I-Ienry's. time for homework. I can't get around to do any homework, and when I get to it, it's late at night. Despite conflicts between jobs and social lives, students feel that job experience leads to responsibil- ity. junior, Kristie Hackbart said, 'jobs gave me a good sense of re- sponsibility for everything. Some students have a long range view of how a job affects them. jorjana Wangor believed job exper- ience is the best in the long run for everyone. I think everyone should have a job when they are in high school. It will give them an idea of how it's going to be when they get out on their own. Students all agree, however, that they depend on their jobs for al- most everything. Senior Lisa Price depends on her job, in order to have clothes and, more important- ly, a car! Some students have an even greater responsibility. Terri Luper explained, I pay for my own insur- ance, gas, my own clothes, and ex- tra curricular things at school. One student who worked for a different reason was Dao, I took the job to help my mother so she wouldn't work too hard and be tired. -Amy Blevins Sophomore Stacey Wilder gives correct change at Mott's. riendliness is ini- p o r ta n t w h e n working in retail sales.

Almost all students use fashion to advertise their individuality. When that expression empties wallets, however, students think twice about buying nything that meets the eye Guess jeans and Gucci bags, walking shorts and, of course, the ever-popular .IAMS-our clothing represents our lifestyle, and dress- ing fashionably is a goal of most students. Everywhere around you the sub- tle hints of fashion pressure are seen, Vuarnet sunglasses come complete with three different col- ors of strings, while alligators and horses still stampede across the bo- dies of many students. Does dress- ing with the times have a deeper implication? Sophomore, Susan Good, stated that, They ffashionsj contribute a sense of belonging, a student's lifes- tyle adapts to whatever is in fash- ion. As with any outstanding facet of the student lifestyle, the way a person dresses tells a great deal about their personality. Are they shy in button-down Polo's and sweater vests or adventurous in long flourescent sweatshirts com- plete with leather belts? The fashions of today's world al- low more freedom than ever before in history. The many different styles of the modern wardrobes allow a more relaxed feeling-there is something for everyone. But some- times clothes can obscure a per- son's true self, because it is com- forting to look basically like those around you. Also, there comes a time when a student must decide if a pair of Guess jeans are really worth the six- ty dollars paid for them. Have you ever been tempted to remove an alligator from a pair of five dollar Izod socks and attach it to your favorite no-name brand shirt? With Gucci bags running an aver- age of seventy-five dollars, a stu- dent finds her funds depleted very quickly. In the quest for the title of best- dressed a person may find the road littered with more dollars than can be considered even remotely practi- cal. lndividuality does not have to be bought with money, nor does looking nice necessarily have to empty your patents' pocketbooks. Whatever your wardrobe, you need only to open your closet to find the best expression of your true feelings, emotions, and moods.-Caro! Caron Waterproof Swatches are a popular acces- sory for many students. Marc Highland models a pair of colorful iams, a favorite item in any guy's wardrobe. Fafhion 15
