Students Explode Rod’s Pox This winter, many Central Illinois communities experienced outbreaks of the chicken pox. Au- burn was no exception. From January 11 until February 1, Rod Meidel was on an extended Christmas break; he had the chicken pox. Over the real Christmas vacation, Rod visited his niece in Chatham, who had the chicken pox. “I had them when I was a kid, so I didn’t think I would get them again,” Rod explains. Unfortunately, two weeks later, Rod’s body started to become covered with the pox. For the next four days, his situation continued to get worse. “My doctor said it was a very rare case,” he states. The only medication Rod used was Calamine lotion, which relieved the itching somewhat. “It was the worse thing I had ever had in my life. I still have scars from them,” Rod says. “I still have scars” — Rod Meidel. Rod's body was taken over by chicken pox

Teri Buck's reaction to finding an error. Practice Set Poses Problems Suzanne Sanders and Larry Buske keep Mrs. White busy. Although the students find the practice set frus- trating at times, they also feel that it is helpful. Kim Dodd remarks, “It really gets my goat when I find errors, but I like it. It's kind of fun.” According to Doug Dolenc, “It's really nerve- racking, trying to get it done.” Jared Dudley is also worried about finishing. Mrs. White is NUTS for expecting us to get this done!” Sherry Cumming, however, doesn’t seem to mind it. It's pretty easy, and it has one advan- tage— no homework. Carla Hill is thankful for the practice set. “It’s a good opportunity for exper- ience before I get out in the 'real world’,” she explains. Stephanie Marsh sums up her feelings by stat- ing, “it was a very enjoyable and useful learning experience, but thank goodness it’s almost over!!” If the accounting students have seemed a little grumpy during the last nine weeks, they have a pretty good reason to be. For the entire last nine weeks, all accounting students “work” as ac- counting clerks for Fireplace, Inc., a fictitious fire- place store. The practice set allows the students to use all of the skills he or she has acquired. The students must face “real life problems and find solutions in a business-like atmosphere.
