Favorites express individuality 'The Cosby Show' dominates student opinion ,ooll ho is your favorite teacher? What is your favorite dance place? What is your favorite mun- chie? Favorites: everyone has a very definite view on what his favorites are. Students were asked 14 questions and their responses widely varied. Who was the favorite teach- er? Missy Beattie said, Mr. Wiechern is the best teacher I have ever had. His class is so enjoyable because he makes it fun to learn. He has a re- 38 Favorites markable sense of humor, and his class often cheers me up when I just don't think I can make it through the rest of the day. Teachers were not the only favorites, as William Davis ex- pressed his view on his favor- ite place to go dancing on Fri- day or Saturday night. Glen- wood Roller Rink is my favorite place to go dancing because it is unique. The music is always live and everybody likes to 'jack'. One may rather not spend money on going to Glenwood Roller Rink, but save it for her favorite car. CeCe Castaneda said, A porsche is my favorite car because it's gorgeous and it is a symbol of power. Instead of going out in the evening, some students found watching television a satisfy- ing replacement. The Cosby Show is my favorite TV show on Thursday because it is a good representation of family life. With all the violence on TV it's nice to see a comedy show that relates to everyone, stat- ed Shaun South. If television wasn't one's ta- vorite, maybe listening. td WBMX, the most popular ra- dio station, was more appeal- ing. Jackie Vanderwey re- sponded, BMX is my favorite- station because they play a variety of up-to-date music Although not all agreed on their favorite soaps or cars, fa- vorites were a way to express- individual ideas.
