You ' re Busted! B efore school started last summer, I came home three hours past my curfew and my mother was up waiting. I knew I was in trouble so I told her that when I went to the concert, the lead singer invited me up to the stage to sing with him. She believed I got up and sung in front of the audience. I was lucky she bought it. junior Alice Spencer LUE LIGHTS TO PINK SLIPS. The view of flashing lights in the rear view mirror to the chorus of ooh ' s and aah ' s when an aide entered bearing office requests created the unmistakeable sensation of busted . Tickets, which students accumulat- ed, ranged from $10 parking tickets to $200 speeding owes. My worst ticket was for $195. I was going 65 mph in a 30 zone and the wrong way in a one way, senior Andy Locke said. Reasons ranged from the routine to the ridiculous. Once I was driving Lainey Clark ' s car, Ross Buchholtz and I were hungry, and we saw a Wendy ' s sign that said ' burgers 89 cents ' . We were at a sign that said no left turn. But we went any- way. The cop behind us (who wo did not see) pulled me over and gave me a tick- et, junior Kathryn McCann said. Traffic offenders suffered through the same sort of guilt, anger and humili- ation as the 120 daily office visitors. Most of the time you pretty much knew who the slips were for because they are usually the troublemakers or the ones who never seem to make it to class, sophomore Audra Johnson said. On occasion, however, there re- mained the one slip delivered to some- one who was not considered a regular. I don ' t get called to the office that often, but when I do, I hate it because I end up having to sit in the office forever waiting to find out what it was that I did, sophomore Scott Hear said. Blue lights, red lights, pink slips, or- ange stickers, or whatever the sign of busted, students took fall and paid the price. Edited by Dena Gothard W( B U ST E D |{
