Pis for Part-Time Jobs ... Because of the inflationary economy, many students are looking for or have part-time jobs. Some have jobs because it gives them something to do, others want a job just for the sake of being independent, but all have jobs because of the money. With the economy the way it is, many parents cannot afford to give money to their children. On the average it takes $10-$20 to fill a car with gas, $3.50 for a movie, $8.00 for an album, $10.00 for a concert, $20-$30 for jeans, $20-$40 for shoes. Places most likely to hire part-time students are: restaurants and fast food chains, like McDonald’s and Hardees, grocery stores, bakeries, department and discount stores, hardware stores, gas stations, and farms.

This year’s styles that ranked high were: sailor shirts, striped shirts, blazers, rosebowl jerseys, and velour shirts. Other popular styles were Candies shoes, designer jeans, head-bands, nike shoes, T-shirts, and the ever favorite comfortable, worn-out blue jeans.

After stumbling home in the dark, you reach the safety of your room. The next morning mom and dad give that “pretty late night huh? look. Of course, you confess to the “Well, I didn't realize it was that late speech, or “Oh, I never looked at the clock” or you simply hide from your parents all day in hopes that they’ll let it slip this time. Nevertheless, it’s Saturday night and nobody stays home on a Saturday night. i 1 Fairy Godmother Harken, grants Randy, Brian, Al, and David rewards and surprises at a pep meeting for being great Dunkerton Raider basketball players. 2 Sheriff Rod Salisbury, gets a written statement from the plantiff DeWayne Frost in Street Law's kidnap-robbery case. 12 Academics
