TEOPLE Mechanical Problems Frustrate All What is more frustrating than a jam- med locker? A candy machine which steals your money every day or maybe a car that continually breaks down? Mechanical problems such as these have plagued students all year long. People see the sign on the Coke machine by the gym clearly stating to use only quarters. Then I see idiots put- ting dimes and nickels in it and ex- pecting to get a Coke! commented senior Jeff Kramer. The vending machines in the Eagles' Nest and gym are notorious for stealing students' money. You always hear someone complain- ing about that stupid machine ripping them off, added Kramer. Most of the time there is nothing a victim can do about his lost money, but, on occasion a good swift kick heals the Senior Dan Stockwell vents his frustrations on the Coke machine by the boys, gym. Man vs Matter mind and the machine. But at times even a good swift kick does not fix a locker. You can seldom fit all your stuff in your locker but the one day it fits in, the locker sticks or the book you're looking for is on the bottom of the locker. No one can keep anything of value in his locker because most of the lockers can be opened without the combination. Junior Debbie Perl discovered this when she had S500 worth of camera equipment stolen from her locker. Finally, if you're lucky enough that the locker does open im- mediately after all that, all your books fall out of it. One thing a student cannot kick is a typewriter or adding machine, although many students wish they could. My stupid typewriter never works right. Either it does not type commas or it 0 0 iff if YQ.. ,yyy T ff doesn't type what I typed, commented senior David Bottoms. T Although lockers, candy machines and typewriter problems are annoying, car problems are the worst. The expres- sion it's fixed never seems to come true. Not only are car troubles a hasslei they can also get very expensive. At Tomls Garage, the place l workg an engine overhaul is about 1,500 td 2,000 bucks, and a transmission job is about 1,000 bucks. Even a carburetor job or brake job can run about S2001 replied Kramer. Come on boss, l've never fixed 2 transmission beforew or If you bring, your car in at 5 till 6 we'll stay an hou: after closing to fix the problem an statements often heard by students. Bu in the end you always hear, Please paj at the window . . . - Curt Roland ' 1,, i 'i i

Do these sound familiar? They should! Students use these expressions every day. I talk totally Valley,', confessed junior Michelle Laughlin, I was talking like that years before the song 'Valley Girl' came out? Oh, my Godf' and I am so sure are among her favorites, and she admits, I use them constantly. The song Valley Girl which is about the girls who live in the San Fernando Valley of CA, caught on and many of the song's words were adapted into people's conversation. Gag me with a pitchfork, exclaims senior Lori Cohn. I got it from the song, but the reason why I use it is because when something grosses me out, a spoon isn't big enough. Students are also picking up expres- sions from out-of-state. Chill out,,' explains senior Rick McLaughlin is the newest and coolest straight from New York. Dance may not sound like an every- day expression, but senior Mark Marin- cik explains My English teacher last year was a dance instructor and now whenever I want someone to do something, I say 'dance'. Bathtub might not mean anything to the student body, but it does to junior Liz Stager and friends. A lot of tl slang I use, I use among close friends This is the case for a multitude of tl students. Different expressions are usd with different people. Movies are another source of expre sions. In Rocky III, Sylvester Stallon adamantly utters, Go For It to mean, ugly boxing challenger. This eq pression, immediately transformed in' conversations, is used often. To seniq Allison Palmer, Later to your face means bye.' One can only say that this way 1 communicationg is different and tota ly, awesomef' - Tina Coronges L i , Sophomores
