On October 3. fans of rhe popular group Styx rroded 8 hard earned dollars for OVi hours of rock ' n ' roll in rhe Memorial Coliseum The Doctor song runes like Come Sail Away and rhe new hir Babe. TkfiWittk,, NOTtht f ?t duu Making % % $ And Spending It Everyone loves ro spend money. Un- fortunately, money must be earned be- fore ir can be spenr. Many srudenrs make money by working a parr-rime job afrer school and on weekends. They find jobs or grocery srores, gas srarions, drug srores, and resrauronrs. Employees of rhe local McDonald ' s were happy ro see rhe minimum wage raised ro $3.10 on hour. This provided workers wirh addi- tional spending money. Some srudenrs are employed in more domesric areas: babysirring, housecleaning, lawn mow- ing, and housepainring. Their employers are nor required ro meer rhe minimum wage, bur any addirional income helps rhe srudenrs. As limired as rhe job marker is, rhe sky is rhe limir for ways ro spend money. Wirh clorhes prices rising, large sums of money are spenr trying ro keep in sryle. Mainraining a car is also expensive. De- sides rhe high gos prices, a car owner musr invesr in insurance, rires, oil, and a license plare. An occasional malfuncrion may also cosr rhe owner repairs or a service fee. Another high price is paid for enrer- rainmenr such as concerrs ar rhe Memori- al Coliseum. Favorire groups on rour stop ar Forr Wayne, and Leo srudenrs always conrribure ro rheir support. Weekends are anorher excuse for spending mon- ey. Going on a dare or wirh a group of friends, students hand over dollars ro rhe- arers, resrauranrs, and gas srarions. Even weekend game ar school draws from one ' s savings. The new price for a foor- ball or basketball game was $1.75. Add rhar ro a 25 t bag of popcorn, a 25 t pop, a $1.50 afrer-game dance, and rhe ap- proximate 58d for gos ro get to school and back. It would take working for 1 hour and 15 minures ar rhe minimum wage to cover rhese expenses. Obvious- ly in order for money ro be spenr, ir must firsr be earned. k — — Kim Sir.: mlf after school
