v. a—A Money Shortage by Chris Elliot Due to the poor economic condition of gas, oil, and farm product prices, our school district was forced to reduce the budget. Because of these restrictions, we no longer have the same luxuries. For example, monies for teaching sup- plies, extra curricular travel, library books and materials, and building maintenance and repairs have been reduced. One less teacher in the high school resulted in the princi- pal and guidance counselor becoming government teach- ers. The number of coaches was also reduced to one head varsity coach and one head junior varsity coach for each sport. Although the reductions put limits on Chinook High School, we still remain in good shape with everyone pulling together.

Relocation of Pop Machines by Chandra Zarn The pop machines, which used to be located in the study hall, have been relocated near the honor pass table. The general school public now has more access to them. Two advantages to this change include the Student Council's benefitting from the great profit increase, and the students’ be- ing able to purchase the pop anytime they want. When the pop machines were in the study hall, students could only buy pop before and after school and at noon. In addition, competition between the Coke and Pepsi products was evi- dent w ith the moving of the machines. First, the Pepsi machine moved downstairs, while the Coke machine still remained in the study hall. As a result, the Pepsi machine netted greater profit during this transition because students who wanted Coke products were too lazy to walk up- stairs, thus, settling for Pepsi pro- ducts. Therefore, it didn’t take long for the Coke machine to relocate near the honor pass table. However, the competition didn't stop there. From watching television, students could see the rivalry between the two companies, and they wanted to get involved. Consequently, after the Pepsi man gave free pop to honor pass students, the Coke man was ca- joled into meeting the Pepsi chal- lenge. Obviously, our promotion of free enterprise is in good shape.
