The stereo- type says that they do. The guys al- ways have to do the paying and the asking. Most girls think that the guys are just stubborn and pay on purpose just so that they will have something to complain about. Jen Staker feels that the guy always seems to pay. I usually try to help out, but they won't let me. I think that they do this for leverage. Guys treat a date like an investment. The conflicting view comes from Scott Prather. Girls play with us. They never even offer to pay for dates, and if they do, they make you feel guilty so that you won't let them.” Brian Dowling looks at things from a different angle. It's tradition for the guy to pay. Mr. grandfather did it, my dad did it, and I'm going to do it. also. Some girls have a favorable opin- ion about the guy paying for dates. I like to offer my date money, but if he doesn't take it, I don't feel guilty, giggled Kelly Linder. Another controversial issue in- volved with dating is who should ask whom? Not as much difference is seen is the opinions from guys and girls on this issue. Both groups feel that the guy should do the asking. Jason Townsend said, “I would rath- er ask the girl out because if a girl asked me out that I didn't like, I don't think that I could say no. The girls also seem to prefer that the guys do the asking. When guys do the asking, it's better because it is a surprise, and also it is tradition for the guy to ask, Becky Zwissler re- plied with a smile. Don't worry guys, the girl will be- gin to take the initiative and ask you out, too. Who knows, maybe she'll even pay for the date. By Lance Par- due. Dating 1 AJ

'1 think it's great hav- ing my dad on campus because I can borrow money and get tips on my softball or other sports. Pholo by Ralph Drendel. hen Danny Cong received his class schedule, he saw that he was going to have his father for French 3 during fourth period. It was the second time Danny would have his father as a teacher. Danny said, I do not feel anything special about having my dad as a teacher; in fact, now that I think of it, aren't everyone's parents teachers? Phuong Cong feels special to have his son as his student because he can monitor his son's progress more carefully. Mr. Cong has gone through three years of teaching his sons French. He said, ”1 treat Danny just like any other student, which is the same way I treated Pat when he was in my French 2 class. Michele Sheehy has had her dad as a teacher for two years and is hap- py being in his class. Michele says, My dad has a habit of teasing his students and so when I'm in his class I get teased the same way as all the other students. I know that my dad has found out some interesting things about me that he didn't know. Michele does not get any special treatment from her dad, but she feels that she has to excel aca- demically in his class to maintain his reputation as a teacher. Bill Sheehy loves being Michele's teacher and can't wait until Nathan Sheehy is in his class. Mr. Sheehy says, “I love teaching at the school that Michele and Nathan go to. I feel that having my kids going to Santa Teresa they are learning something, because I know the teachers and how they teach.

Others are: Ted Cano, Matt Cano, and Tim Cano; Dave Gigliotti and Aimee Gigliotti; Fred Matalone and Gina Matalone; Ray Lychak and Kim Lychak; and Marilyn Louden, Lisa Louden and lay Pate.
