Phi Delta Theta's trike team rides to victory during the Homecoming race. Rhoads HaII W finishes third. tH. Strotherst tIDonit anybody get in my way or IIm liable to knock them down, said Paige McNeiII, an ISU female auto- mechanic employed at Sears Automo- tive Center. Paige has built muscles since she started her job as a mechan- ic two years ago. ttNobody gives me hassles anymore at the garage. After carrying tires and batteries, stooping, lifting, and bending, I have become quite musclebound, Paige said. 'The men took bets on how long I would last at the garage. They figured a girl couldnit pull her own weight or handle the aII-male environment. Most of them bet I wouldntt last over two weeks, she said. Today Paige has seniority over all the part-time employees. All the men have lost their bets. The tall, bIonde, industrial arts major can use a speed handle and socket wrench with expertise. Paige shocks her customers when they find out she actually installs 50-pound batteries, lifting them with ease. She can also mount tires on rims in minutes. A fellow member of the ISU Society of Automotive Engineers helped Paige get her job. IIThey needed a girl to fill the quota, she said. Concerning the Equal Rights Amendment, Paige believes in equal jobs with equal pay. With the know- ledge I have I can do as much as the men on the job. Boogie dancers, Jill Duzan. Michelle Hoskins and Mark Western, dance in the AOII and ME skit in campus revue. tS. Kuehlt
