DRIVE THRU'S Drive-thru's sa ve time, oause trouble Itls Friday night. You and your date are off for an evening of excitement and romance. Since it took your lovely date so long to get ready, you missed your reserva- tions by an hour. Now you have no choice but to go to a fast food restaurant, so you decide to cruise through the drive-thru. People think that theylre going to get their food faster if they go through a drive- thru, but that's not true, said senior Tracy Standlee, who works at the drive-thru at Luther's Bar B Q. They still have to cook the food? If you are lucky, no cars are ahead of you. If not, chances are the people ahead of you have ordered for a family of 10 and you have a long wait ahead of you. In the middle of your order, the order box puts you on hold. Approximately five minutes later, the voice, resembling that of a person with a third grade education says, May I take your order?', After giving your order, you are instructed by the box to do something. Since you can- not make out what the person said, you decide to drive through. The customers get irrate if something happens to the intercom, siad Standlee. When you get to the window, you finally get to see who you were talking to. I'm sorry sir, but the hamburger you ordered will take longer than the rest of your order. Please park your car and we will bring it out to you, says the window person. By now you and your date are thoroughly disgusted with this whole ordealg and to make matters worse, your order is wrong. People should check their bags before they leave because we aren't perfect, said Standlee. And senior Paula Hegler can vouch for that. One time we went to Burger King, ordered two hamburgers, two french fries and two drinks and didn't get one of the drinks and one of the french fries,'l said Hegler. It was really busy so I didn't want to go back. Usually when I go to a drive-thru I have to wait so long I forget that I'm hungryll' said senior Deanna Fischer. Drive-thrus will probably be with us for a long time, even though they may cause more trouble than the time they save. - Stacy DiMaggio Before going to work at Pavillion Martinizing, junior Julie Hill swings through Burger King to get a bite to eat. fMulueyj Q Si ii Student Life l 17

Sometimes getting to school is a bigger problem than school itself. By 8 a.m. the streets and parking lots around the school create havoc for the students and parents. Cars, bicycle riders and walkers congest the roads and become a haven for Officer Daniels of the Richarson Police. I think Officer Daniels lives for busting kids, stated junior Mike Burnett. For many students, flashing red lights in the rearview mirror is a common scene. For others, the problem is more the price of parking stickers or the limited number of parking spaces. I didnlt buy a sticker so sometimes I have to park on the street and then walk a mile just to get to the school, stated Newberry. It's first come first serve. If you happen to be late, you end up parking far away from school, if you get a parking space at all, remarked junior Sareta Anselmi. The S15 parking sticker has brought about several complaints, but senior Steve Price feels the sticker is a bargain. The sticker price really isnlt too bad, said Price. t'No one should complain. I know of some people at other schools who have to pay as much as S40 for one. For those who don't have to bother with parking spaces, sticker prices, and the dreaded Officer Daniels, the problems aren't over. Many students, especially sophomores, have to depend on a brother or sister, a friend, and even good ol' mom and dad as their means of transporation. lt's a pain not being able to drive yourself to school,', remarked sophomore Lance Hart- sell. I have to rely on other people and a lot of times it causes problemsf' On the other hand, junior Kim Killeen stated, I really don't mind riding with my brother, but itls a hassle when we have to go at different times. Killeen admits that many times it means getting a ride with one of her brother's friends and it's not unusual for them to forget. No matter what the problem is in getting to school, everyone faces the same situation, and in the end it's all worth it, isn't it? - Karin Evans I eil 339 KM. ' 1, 3 K ' K ..
