Survey shows majority work Hey, do you want to go out tonight? No, I have to work. These statements are often heard from students at Neumann, where 82% of the students surveyed work. Many work during the school year and even more work during the summer. Most students agree that the main reason they work is for the money, but a few, who are planning a career in a given area, work for experience. The money earned is used for gas, dates, entertainment and clothes; or is saved for later use: for college or buying a car. Asking any of these students if working gets to be a drag , is sure to elicit a definite yes. Some reasons are that it interferes with school and social activities, homework, and just plain gets boring. On the contrary, the sta- tement, I've got to work, can be a good excuse for cancelling a date, or getting out of athletic condition- ing. All in all, most working students agree that the benefits of having a job outweight those activities that had to be passed up because of work.

Friday p.m.'s pose questions What are you doing this week- end? was one of many questions heard on Friday afternoons as students eagerly anticipated the long-awaited weekend. A possible reply might have been, I don't know, what's going on? Next, the possibilities were considered. Was there a game followed by a soc-hop, a good movie, maybe a party, or a hot date? If nothing else was planned, the night may have been spent cruisin'. The pattern was the same; past Pizza Hut, through Safeway parking lot, on the highway past Gas 'n Shop. Of course, any friends encountered along the way got a quick honk of the horn, wave of the hand, or a shout out of the window, Go to Safeway! That's where the real action was. Cars parked everywhere while kids discussed what was going on. Pizza Hut was another hot spot. Whether you were inside eating pizza, or outisde watching the cars go by, you were sure to see someone you knew. Weekend activity wasn't con- fined to Wahoo; some students preferred the wider variety of theatres and restaurants in Fremont, Lincoln, or Omaha. Others enjoyed the advantage of cruisin' a larger city. Saturday night was a repitition of the night before or boasted a new activity. Sundays were spent resting, visiting with family and friends or doing homework in preparation for returning to the routine of another school week on Monday. Unless sports or other extracur- ricular activities were planned, weeknights were spent reading assignments or studying for tests. Jerry Beasley pages through the Home Box Office T.V.
