SIOGANMANiA in 84 Slogans play a large part in the life of a student, and a few seem to be the more popular. What's in a slogan? Is someone trying to say something important or is it just a gimmick enticing students to buy buttons, bumper stickers or a any other items that bear a few words of wisdom, or not so wise as the case may be. Commercials play a large part in slogans. Trying to sell an item with a slogan is the advertisers’ intent. The largest and most popular saying in 1984 became “Where’s the beef?” a slogan that the fast-food restaurant Wendy’s possessed in an attempt to sell their burgers. This saying soon appeared on buttons and shirts. Competing in the battle for fast- food business were slogans like Burger King’s ‘‘Broiling beats frying,”’ or McDonald’s ‘Good Morning. McDonalds and you.” In the contrasting spotlight are the diet soda slogans that think light is best. “Diet Pepsi, just one small calorie” became the hit slo- gan for Diet Pepsi with competi- tion coming from Diet 7-Up’s “No caffeine. Never had it, Never will.” Bumper stickers, a form of traveling billboard, gave individ- uals a personal form of advertis- ing as well as expressing their true feelings. “Leave it to -Bea- ver,” “Il love New York,” and “I love Michael Jackson,” were just a few sayings that garnished cars Seanad 7 creep . 2 : aM 2 gi ire toe Sd , Braver. Garnishing the car, this “Leave it to Beaver” bumper sticker found its place on Robbie McCord’s window. in the student parking lot. Also assisting in self-expression were buttons that decorated the shirts of many students. “I'm the one your mother warned you about,” “No Problem,” and “I love my Saint Bernard,” were just a few of the many sayings that traveled through the halls of school. Another popular item of expressing oneself was T-shirts. Wearing a shirt bearing a person's favorite college, a concert from the night before or a nickname became a very popular item among the students. Mini Mag |!

Hands-on Learning Psychology is the study of hu- man behavior, usually dealt with in extensive study. For many of Mr. Steven Moore’s psychology students the chance to study hu- man behavior came at the end of the school year. The psych students had the choice of projects they would like to do. They could travel to the elementary school to work with the grade school kids and study their behaviors, assist with early childhood screening, do research papers or think up their own project. Those who chose to travel to the grade school did so for a pe- riod of six weeks, where they ob- served the behaviors of a child or a group of children. Not intended to change the Special Reminders Well now the movie is over and you begin to exit the theater. Suddenly you realize that in your pocket there is that ticket stub that you received at the begin- ning of the movie. Now the real challenge comes. What do you do with the ticket stub? Wait! Don’t toss it into the waste basket, but turn it over and write down the movie, where it was or maybe who you went with. Ticket stubs serve as special reminders. They might show that you saw “Footloose” more times than anyone else or that you were the first in Highland to see “Re- turn of the Jedi.” One student, sophomore Maura Brockmeier commented, “I write what movie or concert that | have seen on the back of the ticket stub and then | put them into a big shoebox for later references.” Another sophomore Jackie Klaus remarked, “I keep my ticket stubs in my scrapbook to remember what movies | have seen. Then | may casually look through them on a rainy day.” To some, ticket stubs are just reminders of what movie they saw, but to others they may evoke personal memories. thoughts and lifestyle of the child, the project dealt mainly with observation and recording of data. Senior Beth Brown found the project helpful. ‘Since | want to go into teaching, it helped me.
