hortag® causes l@nii Mn- i - 1 J In order to avoid the afternoon shortage, the morn- ing stop at the gas station becanne popular as the gas supply dwindled (photo by Slyman). This is ridiculous; sitting here in one of these lines, with only the morning news to listen to. Gasoline inventories have fallen twenty-one million barrels from the beginning of 1977 to the beginning of 1979 and an additional nine million barrel drop has been recorded in the first quarter of the year. These statistics came from Time magazine. As a commentator and a person I think that something should be done. This has been my time; thank you for yours. It ' s even on the radio. The gas shortage has affected every aspect of my life. Some things that I used to do are now impossible and soon it will affect the things I take for granted. Whether or not to go to the coast will be influenced by the weekend gas supply. Cruising will become a thing of the past and one by one the Blazers will go up for sale. They will be replaced by smaller less masculine vehicles. Only two more cars to go! Wonder what the price is going to be today? Seventy-four nine! It was only Seventy-two nine yes- terday. If this line doesn ' t start moving I ' m going to be tardy. Guess I ' ll be tardy. I need gas, and I can ' t wait until tomorrow morning. What does that little sign say? Sorry, we are tempo- rarily out of gasoline DUE TO ALLOCATION. Please come back tomorrow. n Mobli Attempting to keep his gas tank full in order to avoid tomorrow ' s prices, Mark Harris suffers the agony of defeat at the gas station (photo by Law- lor).

V love the ffVeV{7£VTX im nlLS As soon as the 3:25 Friday bell rang, we crammed the halls, impeded for the doors and turned our minds to our favorite nes of the week, Friday and Saturday nights. Some of us had ans while some acted on the spur of the moment. It did not atter whether we spent the evening with a date, family, or just ends for the atmosphere was the same: fun and friendly. Night spots played an important part in our weekend enter- nment. The Sports Palace, the Golden Stallion, the Rocky rror Picture Show and the Village Inn often were swamped ' Chargers. For others a Spurs ' game or a concert or a stu- !nt party was just what the weekend ordered. Naturally, after so much activity, we needed something to plenish our energy supply and nothing hit the spot like a pip- g hot, thick, cheesy pizza from Mr. Gatti ' s, Fargo ' s or Pizza ut. Late night burger stands were also popular. We often crowded into a Jack In The Box for tacos or burritos in the early morning hours. Unfortunately, the evening was soon over; there were cur- fews to be met, good-byes to be said amid haphazard planning tthe next weekend. Finally, trying to keep f lom and Dad from swing just how long past curfew hour it really was, we tum- id with the lock and stumbled over furniture in the dark lulting, of course, in a flood of parental inquiries. Finally we re able to slip away to blissful, welcomed sleep. • • , rsday night excursion, Janna r, sophomore, and her escort Andrew Goode- h, sophomore, dance the traditional Cotten- i-Jo« at the Golden Stallion (photo by Moore). ) During a quiet moment, late in the evening, vid Rock and Cindy Macune talk privately while hing for their food to arrive (photo by Wells).
