The variety of things to do and sights to see in the city provide a welcome change from the relative lack of excitement in Bellmore and Merrick. The most popular reason to escape to New York is to do a little shopping. The shopping in New York is incredible. There is almost nothing that cannot be bought in the shops and on the sidewalks of the Big Apple . The 5th Avenue area has the best', shops, and is the major supplier of the designer jeans and paraphenalia which fill the streets and discos of New York. It's also the best place in the world to windowshop. Another interesting place to buy or browse is The Village. It is a perfect place to find strange, unusual, interesting items. The village is the home of many of New Yorks artists, musicians and writers, and the streets are usually alive with street festivals and block parties. Chinatown and little Italy also have a flavor all their own, and are cultural islands in the midst of the city. New York has a sampling of more cuisines than any other city in the world. It offers some of the greatest restaurants to be found anywhere, as well as some of the worst, from Blimpies and Nathans to Tavern on the Green. And eating in New York would not be complete without the street venders who sell everything from pretzels and franks, to shish-kabob and homemade cookies. The theatre district, Central Park, the World Trade Center, the Empire State Building . . . all highlights of what New Yorkers fand most of the worldj, consider the greatest city on earth. It's all right at our doorstep too. if Ha X A 3. gf. E A f . af' ?.v53Wg, X' f N 1, H ' 3 i n f f,,.415..-3531212-G-5,,fP' .. , .1 ..,3:.ts:a.H:,. 18 .pf .4-S!

There are those who work simply to earn spending money. These students either tire of asking their parents for money or find that their allowance is not sufficient. Many students use the money they earn on luxuries like a new stereo or a car. Other students save their money to offset the expenses of a college education. There are as many types of jobs for students as there are reasons for working. A large number of students work in fast food restaurants. This type of job is good because the restaurants are usually local. One problem is that workers in fast food restaurants often get very few hours of work each. Also, fast food restaurants operate in a high pressure fashion. Workers are constantly being pushed to produce. Small stores are a local form of low-pressure employment. Small stores and restaurants are constantly looking for stock boys, counter girls, and delivery boys. Often, the students who work in these places are paid off the books. Salaries are not as high as fast food restaurants, however, there are more hours available each week. The work is fairly easy. Delivery boys can eam a lot of money, but often you need to use your own car. Many students choose to look for work on large shopping centers such as Roosevelt Field. This type of job also has its advantages and disadvantages. Department store employees often receive large discounts. The work is usually not physiml. The biggest problem in this case is usually transportation. If you don't have a car it is horrible. waiting for buses is at best frustrating. Another group of students work for caterers either as busboys, waitresses, or valet parkers. These people usually work very long shifts. The work is usually restricted to weekends. The students who want a job has a great deal of options. There are usually not that many openings for these jobs. But, for the student who searches hard enough finding a job is not really that difficult. pw!-vi
