For The Right Pri¢e High school produces an almost hedenistic spirit in many students. Every clique has its own focus: clothes, hair, movies. Other people prefer more tangible or direct records, enjoyment: food, cars. But no matter what one buys, collects, consumes, or enjoys, there is almost always one tactor in common money It was amazing how often heard students were complaining about money, or more specificially a lack of it Students would do most any- thing to pinch a few pennies here and there to spend on their special interests. Values and priorities came very much into bearing when dealing with money. Decid- ing whether to make a minor purchase now or to wait and save for a more extravagant pleasure later was often a dilemma. One of few students activi- ties which did not cost money was schoolwork. “I can’t go out tonight. I have a big test tomorrow,” or, “I studied all night,’’ were ever-present comments. But move into voluntary obsessions and one found that most everything had a price. John Steele Students always. like to eat.

“You've got to be kidding! How much can one blouse cost?” Re Re Saunders browses at Cato’s. i ae It’s “risky business” trying to pick out a VCR rental. Students usually get their money’s worth by sticking with relatively well-known titles. Kristen Coulter checks out some re- cent flicks at Videoland. Students spend a lot of time in their cars.
