' ' — ONE ON ONE Wave rhe days of soda-pop shop dares died our The fast paced competition of the 80'$ has nearly drowned out the casual dating teenagers so often associated with past generations of students. It is just not the same as it used to be, and there are several reasons for this. Dating has become exclusive for some people because competition in academics, sports, and other areas has destroyed the desire to contend for more that one person's attention. Over 75% of the students polled at Edina said that they had been or were going out with only one person rather than dating several people, and 68% of these students said that they would not want to see more than one person at a time. Also, a fair amount of students said that they opt not to date at all. This does not mean, however, that the interest is not there. It's too hard to get started dating, but there is this redhead girl that I wouldn't mind dating, said Scott Johnson (10). And yet others have discovered that dating someone from another school is the perfect solution, an escape from the Edina clique dating as two juniors termed it. In Edina it seems like dating is done by groups, explained Ann Johnson (12), You really only date someone from the same group of friends. Fina ly. the way some couples act in th« hall is motivation enough not to date It really bothers me when couple HANG ALL OVER EACH OTHER durim passing time. complained Deb Croxen (12), when Kristin Lindben (12) added, “Yeah, no more P.D.A (public display of affection)!!
