Pass system fails et a pass from the teacher. Within one minute,and no more, exchange foratraveling pass from the at- tendance office. Time another one minute trip to the actual destination before the process and the one minute deadlines, then repeat. New pass policies proved unrea- sonable and the problem of just how to keep track of travelers evolved into just one more added problem that the new pass procedure provoked. 'From the beginning, it was doomed. Getting passes for everything was a hassle and it took too much time. lt's easier to just go without a pass,' freshman Julie Murphy said. From the obsolete system of a pass to a pass to a destination, travelers simply signed arrival and departure sheets at each of the offices. Accounting for bodies sorted itself out under the twice- changed policy and the lines to see the assistant principals halved for those called in to account for themselves. Do not pass go. Do not collect 3200. Rework policy at semester be- cause il doesn'l work. And so it goes, or so itwent. l'm used to 1yourrrifnewf1 f r policy because lt's it i s ' exactly as it was at my old school.

You are passing all six classes. Whether you plan on continuing your education or not, you win two college days! Anytime before the last six weeks, the privileged took advantage of two full days of excused absences to explore places of higher education. ulntenriews and campus tours are only given on weekdays so I don't see how they couldn't give us time to visit. I can't say all the days are seriously taken to actually visit for the campus, but I couldn't have seen SMU without the extra time,' senior Christine Loyd said. Although some question the validity of college days, they remained and swayed more than one decision and more than one attendance count as if by intuition the Fridays before the last six weeks and the eighty-eighth day before graduation marked a few colleges as senior tourist attractions.

Maybe, l'll just not tell them and they won't notice the bashed in headlights' Wrecks in and around the school campus posed a host of problems for students as heavier crowds of traffic had, at times, difficulty traveling to and from school in an orderly fashion. 'My wreck cost me 5650 fora little dent in the front of Heather Wertz's 28 THA T'S SO TYPICAL Mazda RX-7,' senior Jase Auby said. 'l've still got the red paint on my bumper to remind me of the incident! The first wreck proved the most im- pactful for parents and student drivers alike, butsafety came firstinthe minds of both followed quickly by refrains of 'I told you to be careful. Didn't lwarn you? Next time you'll Iisten. Drivers replied in silence, 'they'll never be a next time.' And there wasn't--until the next time. Though l haven't had any wrecks, l've hit the lightpost a couple of times trying to park in the upper parking lot . lt's really embarrassing It when someone sees you, but those spaces are so small and the lines aren't easily visible.
