Making Your Way Congested hallways become a major concern. Colette Miller Stat! Congested hallways have been a constant problem faced every day by students at Mills. The bumping and pushing have gotten quite violent at times. Overcrowding is definitely the problem. Question is - what is the solution? Have a traffic system where you have one line walking one way and an- other line walking the oth- er way with a section off to the side for people who want to talk. The punish- ment for disobeying would be small, nothing serious, Mitch Gates said. This situation has always been an annoyance, and 20 Student picking a solution should be so simple. lt's not! Problems that occur are due mostly to people who block lockers, and there- fore delay other students from obtaining the neces- sary books to continue their normal routine. What l hate about the hallways, in between clas- ses, is that there are always a group of guys standing at my locker talking, and they are kinda stubborn, about moving. Especially because my locker is on the bottom, Alvin jack- son said. This is not a one day oc- currence, but happens ev- eryday of every week. Sur- prisingly, the number of people that do this are few, but they bunch to- gether and cause a great many problems for a great many students. l think when students Some students, like Marlen james and Kim Sullivan, are fortunate enough to enjoy a view with which to do their long awaited homework. Life come from their classes they should just go to their locker and get their books. When they get to their class, they can talk to their friends. lf they really want to talk to someone who isn't in their class they could write that person a note, Anita Patrick said. The student body will have to make the final de- cision on what they do, but obviously something must be done. The stu- dents that participate in this activity seem to enjoy it, but being considerate of others is equally impor- tant. Hallways are necessary for our transportation from one class to another, so having the best possible atmosphere there can ac- tually benefit everyone in the end.

The Moment Of Truth Low lying clouds or have we been rolled? Mike Hor Surf Many times during one's life, one faces many moments of truth. lt may be that march down the aisle atawedding ceremo- ny. It may be awaiting the decision on whether or not that car loan goes through. lt may be await- ing the outcome of a job application. It may even be awakening on a Saturday or Sunday morning to see whether the entire front yard has been rolled, or in other words, decorated beautifully in long stream- ing laces of toilet paper. Rolling is great, man. Gettin' people back is what it's all about, Kirk Pierce said. Many people find rol- ling a popular pastime. Rolling presents a fun way to kid friends and antago- nize enemies. However, it also presents danger - the danger of getting caught. If caught, the current fines are fifty dollars per roll, which can get expensive on a seventy roll job. I like rolling. lt can be fun, as long as you don't get caught, Kim Marshall said. Rollers often refer to themselves by different names. Such names in- clude the Roll Patrol and exterior decorators. The names, though, mean little. What counts is the quality of the job, what counts is what happens in that moment of truth when one sees the final re- sult. Brian Heavener and Mike Horton com- plete an afternoon rolling job in the front parking lot on Senior Suzanne Melton's car. The completed work of the Roll Patrol streams from a tree in the front yard of Stephanie Wilburn in one of many Roll Patrol events this year. 22 Student Life Mike Horton
