esi than you think is involved in Feeding Northeast The average student probably has no idea how hard it is to feed Northeast. The lunchrooms start cooking at 8 a.m., and it takes two and a half to three hours to prepare the nor- mal lunch for an average of 760- 800 students per day. With so much food to prepare, it takes ten fulltime cafeteria workers. More surprising than that is the — “« = NOW ITS FOURTH YEAR, the salad bar option is a favorite of many amount of food it takes to fill up all the ‘hollow legs’ around here. For example, take parts of one of the more popular meals. To create just 264 servings of French fries, it takes 60 frozen packages of 12.5 pounds each. To give each of 276 students half an orange takes 138 oranges. To feed 480 students a slice, it takes five huge boxes of pizza.

Balancing school, social life, and jobs worth it for Making the big bucks Balancing a parttime job with your social life and school life is like going without Reeboks and pizza for a year, but Northeast students can handle it. From McDonald’s to an army surplus store, students are making the bucks. For what, you may ask? Well, ac- cording to an informal poll, most juniors and seniors are putting their money towards college and cars, while sophomores and freshmen who work are spending their money on clothes and entertainment. Choosing a job can be a difficult situation. Most people try to find a job that they like, but sometimes it isn’t that easy.

Junior Henry Payne, who works at Shoney’s, said, “I chose my job because they were the only ones who would hire me.” While most students have jobs in fast food restaurants or as clerks in department stores, some find unusual jobs. Senior Kim McDowell works at the Shurling Library “because it’s pleasant, and I can learn a lot.” Senior Kim Williams, who works at the Eastview Nursing Home, said, “I enjoy working with old people.” Sometimes there is an effect of the different days and hours of work on the student’s school and SENIOR LISA DIXON RINGS up the groceries at Piggly Wiggly. so cial life.

He said, “I sometimes only get two or three hours of sleep because of my late hours.” Starting a new job is a new ex- perience for many.
