CHOW ' DO Hunger Around here you have two choices: starve or diet! strikes Choose the lesser of three evils: cafeteria food, concession stand snacks or brown bagging it from home. Students faced what many con- sidered a dilemma in the search of appetite quenchers within the con- fines of closed campus. Who wants to get elbowed to death in the concession area? It's too crowd- ed in there! Senior Vasana Sayarath complained. Besides, I think the food CHOWTIME. Junior Sandi Marchbanks pigs out on a delicious tostado from her favorite fast food Mexican restaurant, the Taco Hut. MOUTHFUL. Shoveling it in, Sophomore Michelle Clark enjoys a hot lunch in the school cafeteria instead of the usual junk food from the concession stand. ' ll er strikes in the school cafeteria is pretty goodf' Seventy-cent cafeteria meals receiv- ed both praise and complaints from the student body with only half the school population eating daily, accor- ding to cafeteria workers. Many more students chose the association with fellow students and expensive junk food in the student council-sponsored concession area. It's a lot more convenient and quicker to eat in the concession stand, Sophomore Ricky Thorman expressed. 'tl can enjoy talking to all my friends, and it's pretty easy to affordf, Though students paid the price for concession stand snacks, other prices turned the relinquish ofhunger pangs into pains for the billfold, especially when students managed to obtain Hmunchiesn from local fast food joints. I can either bring my own lunch from home, or sneak off-campus to McDonald's, Sophomore William Cox confessed. Of course if l was to do it every day, it would cost me about 15 bucks a week.

VVhether in harmony with the fads of fashion, out to impress their peers or just because it was their stylen, students joined to stage a prep ral- ly . Dressing preppy is not only im- pressive to onlookers but is also a real breeze for the Wearer,', Junior Sharon Braun revealed. No matter what the season, everything in the wardrobe coordinates with each other so you can wear most of your clothes year round.

Although a look from the past, prep has ushered in a new way of life. Preppy accessories ranging from keychains to checkbooks coupled with expressions Clisted in the f'Of- ficial Preppy Handbookuj to create an entire Hprepped-up worldf' Mr. John Cutsinger, Publication Adviser, said. True 'preps' realized that if and when fashion designers ever chose to phase out their old-fashioned look, not to throw away their topsiders and khakis in despair and buy a whole new wardrobe but to put those clothes in storage, say see ya' later alligator and await the return ofthe the new fadn.
