THEY WORK HARD FOR THE MONEY Why is it that no matter how big the allowance it’s never enough? Between cars, dates, football games and food, students often found that their expenses far outweighed their incomes. But there was a solution. Maybe not as easy as an increase in allowance, but a solution nonetheless. It was called “working part-time. “I like working, said senior Lana Swan of Wal-Mart. It doesn’t affect my grades much since I work mainly on the weekends.” Junior Lisa Hodges of Clothworld agreed. “I like working because I get to meet lots of people from different schools. Also, since I got my job my grades have actually gone up because now I have a reason to keep them up. Part-time jobs relieved a number of students of financial shortcomings but like anything else, it did have its drawbacks. “I don’t like it,” said sophomore Peter Armstrong of King’s Food. Not only did my grades drop, but I don't get to bed until 11:30 on weeknights. The only reason I work is for the money,” said junior Donna Gibson of the City View Child Development Center. But, as one working scholar put it: “The pluses do outweigh the minuses, especially on payday. Top Picture: Wes Ward of True Value Is very persuasive.

Casey Rains and Rachel Gates. ft fHodern DATING GAfTlE Eric and Shelly. Doug and Kristie, Mark and Jana Cody Claybrook and James Mcllroy Let’s face it, dating in the late 80's is definitely different than it was 20 years ago. These days, girls are paying on dates and some are even ask- ing the guys out. What do the guys think about this? Well, most said they would love for the girls to make the first move. And they certainly wouldn't mind if the girls paid once in a while. After all, dates are expensive these days. An average date, usually dinner and a movie, runs about $25 to $30. That could really add up if you went out both Friday and Saturday night every weekend. Some of the places to take a date these days are Samari of Tokyo, the Entertain- ment Center, and the movies. But just about everyone agrees that cruising Kemp on a date is definitely a turn off. Some girls said that they wouldn't mind dating a guy a little younger than them but most like the guys older and a little more mature. Most all of the guys said they would go out with a girl that is older than them. This makes the point that age doesn't really mat- ter anymore (to a certain extent). So whatever you do or whoever you go out with, just remember that the whole purpose is to have a good time. A traditional symbol of dating. COMPLIMENTS OF: LOUIS JEWELERS 408 W. PARK 592-5942
