T, On The Move ransportation Getting from one place to another is crucial to the lives of LaSalle students, whether it ' s from home to school or the basketball games to your place or mine? Determination at a precise time motivates students to flag a taxi, hop a bus, nag their parents or slip on the walkin ' shoes. For whatever means of transportation, the price is always high. A taxi these days runs $1.50 up front as a drop charge and another $1.00 per mile. Senior Debra Dickerson states, I took a taxi only once and I won ' t do it again. It was so expensive for just a short little ride. Sometimes doubling as a school bus or mom ' s taxi service, Transpo South Bend ' s mass transit system is another way to get around town. Freshmen David Hemig re- plies, Transpo is alright, there ' s nothing wrong with it, and freshmen Susie Brown adds, It ' s just another way of getting some place. When all else fails grab the most com- fortable pair of walkin ' shoes. Above Four wheels are not the only means of transportation: two wheels are better than none. — photo by Robyn Holy Right Having a car isn ' t all fun and games as these people have found out.

o It Is Going To Be Another ne Of Those Days Early morning and the alarm blares you out of bed. You ' ve already pushed the snooze button five times and now there ' s only 20 minutes left until the bus comes. Decisions! Decisions! What to do first? You ' re in a state of panic because you know if you miss the bus that you can ' t wake your mom one more time to take you to school. Should I eat breakfast and just bumb- out today or should I try to look decent and risk having my stomach growl in first hour? Senior Tawana Jeter replies, It happened to me this morning. I got dressed and did my hair. I had to put my makeup on at school. You finally make it to school after an early morning rush and realize you have a big exam first hour, and you though you ' d be able to catch a few Z ' s. You ' ll have to put that off until next hour. The worst day for Senior Angela Beres was when, I had a cast on my leg and I fell on a guy. He fell too. As the day progresses so do the tragedies. It ' s going to be one of those days. With the stress upon tardies, it ' s vital that you make it to class on time, or else it ' s Whitney Young here you come. The school day ends and on your bus ride home you visualize crashing in bed as soon as you reach the door. However, you open the door to a mountain of mess, a family feud and a home sweet home.
