Aftrn [-torn Ring! Robert Ward awoke to the sound of his alarm. Looking at the clock, it read 6:30. It was time to get up and get moving. The school day dragged on forever for Robert, but the real excitement wouldn't start until after 2:53. Robert could then be found at one of his two part-time jobs.

When asked why he put such a load on himself, Robert simply replied, I wanted the money!” Money was a strong driving force in the minds of many students. With fees, clothes, cars, Prom, dates, parking passes, and club dues, mon- ey and a part-time job were essen- tials! Getting that job was another matter. With 1700 students added to the work force, employment was sometimes hard — but not impossi- ble — to find. ”1 just put in my appli- cation, and right there and then they said, ‘You've got the job!' ” ad- mitted Sandie French about the ease with which she got her job at Harris Teeter.

This line became synonymous with comedian Billy Crystal’s char- acter of Fernando on Saturday Night Live. But it could also be used to describe the look of many Wando students. This mall-velous” look was partially influenced by the myri- ad of shopping opportunities in the area.

With all of this variety, Wandoers never went anywhere without being able to show their style.
