Out- ings and parties were postponed until students could somehow make some money to spend. Aside from stealing, a part-time job was the only answer. But while the long line of fast-food restaurants beckoned, students fought to see that their jobs were just a little out of the ordinary. Mike Potter, sophomore, threw newspapers for the Oklahoma City Times. I only throw papers in the afternoon so at least l don't have to get up earIy, Potter said. It can be kind of a pain, though. When I was in the play Runaways,I had to leave rehearsal early every day to throw the papers on time. Kathleen Morton, senior, took care of children at the Acorn Children's Center. lt's not a bad job, but it gets v l . l and spending itj nerve-racking in the winter becausel the kids can't go out to play. They getl restless, Kathleen said.

ln order to pay for movies, expenses, and clothes, students had to get part-time jobs. John Cary worked at the Handyman department store. Rowdies t-shirts were hot sellers, with almost 100 students spending S8 each to be a part of the Rowdies. Gary johnson, junior, David Rowe, sen- ior, and Cord Urton, junior, set out the shirts for students to pick up. ,l -1ef:f:,., - , A K F'5'7fSf4 'We ' fxt-451' 'a ww ef A ' : - ff?
