In the Money What, money doesn't grow on trees? If you were a student this year, you probably wished it had. Between the year-around fundraisers and everyday lunch money, library fines etc. you could have put yourself through college twice. But what do you do? lf you have ever been in any organization then you know that it is the on- ly means of paying national dues, buying group t-shirts, and financing projects and parties. Fun- draising also teaches important Iite skills such as the pitfalls of credit and spending in negative numbers and the balancing and handling of cash. So whether you've stayed after school selling stuff or have had to carry around five pound boxes of candy, you know there's quite an art to selling. Besides, how could you resist the many tantaliz- ing items that were offered this year. How could you resist the smell of popcorn that awoke your taste buds in seventh period? How about those spirit balloons or those pretty carnations which could say just the right things to a special friend, on a Pep Assembly day. Not only were you sup- porting a worthy organization, but showing spirit as well, Lest we forget the tons of candy consumed by students. Snickers, M8M's, Gummy Bears and X 26 STUDENT LIFE starburst were among the munchies helping organizations pull through. Then there was the ever popular posters and calendars which reminded us of the fundraiser dates of OUR organization, Was the money worth it? If you tally the cost of your time spent during and after school did it profit you to join a group? lt may be difficult to assess in terms of actual cash, but there's no doubt that such a genuine investment offers a tremendous return. Fundraisers are really necessary but carrying all that stuff around with you to class is really a drag Laura Walsh fm ,V., A .ik L--... .2 le A Y-Teen members Kim Laney and Tammy Utley lake Misty King's vote for the Turkey of the Year.

Have you patronized local flea markets looking for clothes you once laughed at on TV? Funny how we go so out of the way to be in. The fact is, current fads are just an exten- sion of a constant cycle. This cycle of adolescent hang-ups and delights are similar to those our parents and grand- parents experienced. Being popular with the in crowd has always been a hang- up and showing oft the latest styles has always been a delight. In the 1950's, the in crowd was the beatniks, in the '60's, it was the hippies, who became the yuppies in the 1970's. Now, in the '80's it's the punks and the preps, but in each case, self-expression was the key. As in years past, clothing not f x only srved as a means of achieving status but also communicated thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. Sunset was not left out as the array of in- novations captured American imagination. Bison fad followers exhibited such vogue items as Topsiders, cropped pants, large sweat shirts, and add-a-bead necklaces. the punks, who favored a slightly different look, wore blue jean jackets, bi-level hair cuts, and incredibly bright florescent clothing. Some trends transcended style, such as wearing of buttons, either rock or political, and tails. Then there were those who dressed only because society demanded it, or to please themselves, with no desire to follow con- vention or impress others. Keeping up with style shows others that you care about your appearance Lisa Cantu STUDENT LIFE 25
