Seniors go brok e Costs continue to rise in everything— gas, bills, debts, etc. Senior goods are no exception. The price of senior dues is now stable at $6.00, but senior pictures have risen to $45.00 and up. For the graduation ceremony the tradi- tional cap and gown may vary in cost. A price of $15.00 will cover the charge for the cap and gown, but the student must return it unless he buys the flimsier outfit for $8.50. An extra touch for the graduating senior is announcements starting at $4.00 or the popular memory 7 book costing $5.20. Not only do students buy an assortment of graduation merchandise but they seem to be expected to purchase other things too. Mike retry commented, When you become a senior your parents usually expect you to buv your own clothes and pay for car insur- ance, especially if you have a decent job. Accepting responsibility with finances is a part of being a senior. But expenses do ac- cumulate even if parents are paying some.

Kirk Friedly Diane Fuller Christopher Fulton Jeanice Foltz Annette Galardo Paul Gallagher Tina Gardner Debra Gibson Girls behind guns? T n early 1980 President Jimmy Carter reinstated the draft— for men. With the possible passing of the Equal Rights Amend- ment, controversy arose about whether women should be included in the draft. Many people feel that ERA has gotten out of hand. Most people think that there should be equal pay for men and women who work at the same job. But having wom- en play professional football and fight in wartime situations is taking it a bit too far. Most would agree with Debbie Hurst that we should make it equal pay amendment instead of the more general Equal Rights Amendment. But what do Howe students, who ' ll have to live with Congress ' decision, feel about ERA and the possibility of being drafted? I don ' t think it ' s fair because I don ' t care for ERA. The women who are talking about ERA today are older, 45-50. When the war comes along, they ' re not going to be drafted. I am! says Debbie Hurst angrily. Some people have no arguments about women being drafted. Laura Day states, Women are as capable of handling combat situations as men. But only time will tell if ERA is passed and if indeed women will be drafted. If it is, then most people will feel the same way as Steve Wiles: They should get all the rights of men, not just some.
