The aroma of corn flakes wafted into the bedroom. The reluctant housemaid threw the covers off. By 8:15 AM, the bed was made and dishes done. Some students had to complete before school chores. They said their parents did not like the house to be left a mess for the whole day. One anonymous student said his mother gave him chores to do, so she wouldn't have to do them. Many students, particularly those of ranching or farming families, faced the cold to feed ani- mals or chop wood. I usually feed the chickens, gather eggs, and slop the pigs before school, noted Sophomore Traci Platts.

Students said household tasks were the worst kind. I donlt like to have to clean up a room in the house before I go to schoolg there are too many things I'd rather be doing, said Sophomore Patti Hicks. Although they were required to do chores, some left them undone. I don'tmake my bed, said one Sopho- more. It's more comfortable to get Industrial strength.

Others said they admitted to their 'slightly messy' habits. My room is a sty all of the time, said Sophomore Tracy Vercimak. Students said they didnlt really like the chores they were required to do, but they said they agreed that chores were necessary.

Gym and or Sports opinions Waver about waiving PE credit If athletes take the proper PE classes , the courses should help them to get fit, because when athletes go out for a sport they should already be Ht. very day the same gym floor was trampled by countless students first dur- ing PE classes and then at a basketball or volleyball or wrestling practice. Some students who began to believe they lived in the gym, won- dered if perhaps they could get at least part of their PE credit waived. Others did not mind meeting the state requirement of a year and a half of PE. Being on a varsity sport shouldn't affect a person's PE credits. All students are equal and should have to follow the set criteria, said Junior Shari Birch. Head Swim I Coach and PE Teacher Jim l Levine said, If athletes take the proper PE classes, the courses should help them to get fit, because when athletes go out for a sport they should already be fitf, Junior Betsy Weldon noted the requirement was not all that much. She said School is a totally different thing than ath- letics. Besides, PE isn't all that hard a class lu ree le- PE Waiver Leg extension.

Other students said PE was a waste of time when they could be doing other important things. Junior Teri 'Ashton said, I could be taking other classes, whether they were electives or academics, that would be benefi- cial to me later in life and help me with college.

I am already fit enough, and I have acquired many of the skills that the PE classes teach, said Senior Cy Campbell. Many different solutions were suggested to help solve the problem. Head Volleyball Coach and PE Teacher Donna Huntsman said, It mightbe a good idea if athletes could get a half a year of PE waived, but still make them take a year, because PE classes do more than just regular sports. Counselor Ralph Erickson also said that a half a year of the PE credits should be waived for athletes if they were in two or more sports. Of the many different solutions that have been offered one that seems most logical to me would be to have all athletes take their PE class sev- enth hour. That would mean that the coaches would have to take their prep hour then, but the athletes and the coaches could go home earlier and the gym could be open to other activi- ties. That way the students could be getting their PE credit but still get the training needed for any sport, said Basketball Coach Richard Stokes. Dana Vercimak
