Cooling can be, cry inconvenient for a bu)y student. but it is nccc~sary bccnu~c makirig one's owo meals is much cheaper tha_o going out to eat every dny.

Eat, drink save money

By Steve Wamcr For college students who are usually short on time and money, it lll3f be helpful to find a place 10 eat that has good food at a rcason11ble price (perh11ps under three dollars).

Today"s CTIIZC is fast foods. Many restaurants serve in this style. because people may be in 3 huny and want an inexpensive meal. These restaurants include MaeDon:ilds. Burger King. the Dairy Queen and Taco Time.

Approximately S2.50 will buy a .. Big Mac:· fries, a soft drin.k :ind a hot apple pie. ~hcDon:ilds has inside searing. takeout services or e,·en a drivethrough wind~.

The nev.•ly built Burger King offers the ·· Whop· per.. or .. Junior Whopper" burger, fries. onion rings. soft drinks and a fish sandwich. A combinntion of these will feed lhe appetite nod cost less than SJ. Burger King also has s drive-through window. takeout orders :ind inside seating.

The Dairy Queen·s menu is sizeable. and ii has various ice cream dishes.

The "Big Broz:ier .. may be a favorite, nnd 11.ith cheese. lettuce and tomatoes. it coru about SJ.25.

A bit larger is their steak sandwich. for St. 9S. add fries or onion rings. a milk or a soft drink 10 this. and a good meal is mnde for :ipproxima1ely

S2.75.

For a change from the 11.orld of hot dogs nnd hamburgers. a person mny wa.nt to stop at Taco Time Pnces are l'C.benable. and 11 is 3 comfortable pl.lee to tue :i break. It has t:ico snlnds. 1:1cos (both hard and ~ft shell). burritos nnd enchiladas.

It~ dinner menu COn.SISlS of e1lhcr TWO tOCOS. or one taro :a.nd one bumto. These dinners include Mexi fne~ ;and a ~ n 5al:a.d and cost onl) Sl.99.

Another c.'i;ange from the fast food pace is the French lolf Eatery. h h;is the l;irgcst menu mentioned thus for. with 29 different types of s;iruhncb~ mduding submnrine saod" iches.

A w~ sub costS the most 3t S2.65. The n,er:1gc co~t for a S3Dd\\ ich is about S2.25. but the \Ubmarincs arc big enough to satisfy most pcoplc·s hunger p:tins.

The French loaf Eater)· also has green sa.l!lds, macaroni sal.tds chili. soup. soft drinks. milk and more Skippers Fish 'n Chips is 3l~ a favorite e.1ting place 10 Coeur d. Alene Its menu includes one fish fillet and fri~ for Sl .15, or three fish fillets and fries for S2.~.

The,, also offer ··r:unih dollar saven,.. which fcatu~ eigh1 fish fi11eu So. <19 or eight pieces of chiden for So.99.

These orders mav be ser,.cd inside or 111ken oui. lb sen ice is Speed), and II is one of the berter rci.t1unnt~ 10 town for an meipenSl\'C meal.

e, Keith Johnson Many adjustments must be made v.hen a s•udent finds hunself se~ered from the ucs of home and thrutt into a bachelor's eJ<istencc at a place people call college The first problem enouotcred 1s t.ha1 of surv,,..aJ. Mom is fonway and che rcahutioll of cooking and doing chc laundl') comes mto perspec;ti\-e. Some guys are gifted v.1th e.xqw.site ~lmary wents v;hile others are forced to exist on burnt frozen pu:za. cold Chef Boy-ar-dce spaghetti and warm B11dwaser While most guys are capable of prepanng some kind of food in order to ,urvive, the prospect of doing th e laundry rs enough to ma ke even the most formidable of bachelon snmer with LDdcciston.

Eventually the young male i$ forced u, nperiment in the realm of detergents and dryers a.od behold the creation of pink tennis shorts (once .. hhe). sir.e four and one-half. &pericncc breeds knowledge. and soon the male de~elops a went for that v.·h,c:b IS drudgery ·· often after seeking ad\1CC from a helpful coed.

Life goes on, 3Jld the "fOOl loose and fancy free" discovers that he is i.o cx,mplete control of his social life. Dad won't be wuiting up lUlymore ...-hen he scumbles home al 3 a.m. Nou. he can threalen h.imseJf with words like. "If you're not in bed b} midnight - oome home."

This new life-style has its drawbacks though. The virile young tnll.ll finds himself lonely snd yellmS for the eompBDionship of others. Old friends ha\e been left behind nnd the task of muiog De'\\ ones is presented.

For some, mlling new friends comes natural!) .

For olhcrs, it's a U1J1gled web of first impressions and indecisions.

Evenrually the new bachelor is prompted into action by II need 10 sbtlrC bis new found freedom and decides to initiate the first move; ''Uh. duh. hi' M,· name is yours; wh3t's Joe?" He soon discovers that friendly people C3Jl be found everywhere and his self-confidence is re$red.

After the newness of bachelorhood begins to wear off, the struggling student finds hlmself thinking more and more about the life he had bad home. This condition is referred to as "homcsicl:ness.'' and every male who is living away from homt for the first time is subject to it in some degree.

Memories of old girl friends, panies or just hanging around with the guys seem to spring up at the strangest moments. A certa.in song that plays on the radio may remind him of o good time he had bad home, aod be wonders if he did the right thiog in coming to a school so faraway from th~ good

times.

Some guys get tough and shrug off those "homesick blues'' by distracting themselves u.ith things Lile girls, beer. pool. assaulr, etc. Some guys resolve their homesickness by taking to the pen and writing letters to friends, neighbors and sometimes eve.a their parents.

The young male soon recovers from his afilktioo and accepts the idell that '"Home is where you hung yoar bat. Life back there :iin' i where it's at. ..

Not all male students living away from home while going to college suffer from the problems outlined in this humbling article. Some come to college prepared with an adequate knowledge of surviv3l (taught io a crash course by Mom) and total mental stability. However. most rookie bachelors do not.

One can usually separate the students who a.re new to the sport or bachelorhood from those who have "weathered the storm" so to speak. Just look for lhe guy .,,;th two different colored socks or the guy who goes to the SUB for a "home-cooked meal."

If you should happen to stumble across one of these unfortunates. mue him fee.I at home. After all. everybody needs a home somewhere.

'Y go to the 'Y'

By Latueen Schm1d1 College s1uden1s who coosuntly pany or sn around day after da} because "there' s nothing else 10 do," should realize tha1 healthy fun can easily be found at the Kootenai Family YMCA in Coeur d'Alene.

The "Y." 606 River St.. offers a wide variety of physical fitness classes for both the communiry and NIC. For tho!>c inte~csted in aquatics , th e "Y" o ffers classes in swimming. swimnastics (a women's water filJless class). advanced lircsaving and scuba.

Physical fitness classes such as activeti~ (a ca rdiovascular fitness/health progr:im). jogging. karate. tap dancing and ballet, ate also offere d at the "Y." Outdoorsy people might enjoy the "Y"'s nordic or alpine s ki classes this winter.

These programs include ski lessons. and fitness and s kill classes.

People who would like to become more familiar 11.•itb the ou tdoors or would like to meet someone with similiar interests s hould try the "Y'"s outing dub. A 11.'inter survh•al course. canoeing. alpine and nordic skiing. s nowshoeing. bicycling. backpacking, outdoor cookery. wild nower idcntificat.ion nnd day I.ripping arc included in this club.

Classes to be ndded this s pring are o dancearobic class (exercising to disco music) and an" Enrly Bird" jogging class (a class for women who have to be to work or ~chool early).

A special disco instruction classs. which includes a one-day workshop. will also be offered this spring.

According to Art Co~grove. the YM CA's e xecutive director, because the "Y"'s motto is "growing, changing: making a difference," people waoung specific or ne11. classes can possibly get them by making a suggesion to '°mcone at the "Y." Co\grove added that s tudents should also be aware that the "Y" will help spon~or group pnrties. This would in clude complete use of the pool (S25 an hour).

For those who do not want to take a class but still w11nr to stay in shape. the "Y" provides saunas. a fitness room (including exercise equipment lll!d Olympic weight lif1ing equipment) and an Olympic-~i1,cd swimming pool.

Cosgrove si,id lhnt hondicuppc:d pc:uple :.hould 001 be afraid to come 10 1he "Y" becnuse equipment. sui:h us o glide chair u~ed 10 get into the pool. is avatlnble.

According to Cosgrove. the "Y" is not just fitness oriented.

"The YMCA i~ a C!Ommunhy organizer," he s aid. "It is not here to just run 11 spor1s program. It is olso here 10 deal 11.•lth specific proble ms.·• The,c problems are dealt with through community org11J1izot1ons such as 11 women·~ ce nter. a subMonce abu se center, a vocational rehab1lit1111on cenrcr and a crisis intervention line coiled "Open Mind."

According 10 Co,grove, because of growing community need~. plans for a ne"' YMCA include handball court~ and a b111gcr ~w1mming pix>I. Fin:1oc10g for 1he De»' facility 1s dependent upon II S 1.5 million membership dnve Hopefully the new ''Y" would be comple ted b} 1980. Cosgrove said the "Y" hopes to sell its present facilities to NIC. Students interested in YMCA membership should be aware th:11 because the) arc ~tudcnts. they only have 10 pay S25 a ye111 compnrcd to 1he rcgul:u S40 :i yc:111.

Cosgrove said that students may cn.rn thelr membership by Joining the YMCA Community Service Volunteer Corp. 1l1ls would include working with aquauc. fitness and youth progr11ms.

So instead of going parcying or sining around because you ha\ C nothing else to do, "~tay hcahhy and happy the "Y" w:iy."

The over-30 experience Although NIC students come in a sundry assonmcnt of ages, the\e student\ tend 10 ignore the often "ide age gaps that trad1uona.lly serve to segregate one generation from another.

Thi~ ass,:nion is one of se~era.l dem·ed from a ~urvcy or II number of "IIC i1udent, The sur,ey \LIS designed to dcierrnme ho·A ,1uden1S over and under age JO relate 10 one anolhcr dunn~ thcu CU) ·to-diy cxpencn,:e~ on the NIC campus.

A fa,·orite adJect!Ve employed b)· both sets of students to describe the other group ""';J.S "fan· tastic."

The ge neul consensus of o,·er-JO students interviewed was that those under 30 are helpful considerate and willing to accept them 3S fello,,. students. · 'l'\'e never felt younger in my life." said Doris Ellenwood. a member of NIC's O\'er-JO club. "They (students under JO) sec me as juSt another student and rel:lle 10 me on their level."

Jacque Heam, also over 30. commented !.lat she finds students younger than herself "warm" a.ud " "·ilhng 10 :issodl!le "ith nny age (.group)."

Students interviewed " ho were not )Ct JO. on the other hand. :ilmost un:inimously applauded their elders' determination 10 continue their educations. " I think they (over-30 students) tend 10 get higher gu des because they poi.i.ess mo~ determinMion."

Both age groups e>.presscd )Ome degree of surprise at the quality of m1errch11ion they enJoy Drew Streeter, 19, said that he thinks n's "nea1" 1h11t older people can go bacJ.. to s,:hool and resume their educauons and "fit in" and feel "comfo"able" with younger students.

Streeter noted thtu his "m;irrioge pimner" in a married life d11ss is old enough to be his gra ndmother, bu t that this fact doesn' t deter her from going to the SUB and h1wing a Coke with the younger students.

One o,er-30 ~•udent. Karlene Amsden. ~aid that she hu a better rctari,mship with studenb under JO than <.he had mmlll\' anue1pated: she !>3td !>he had expected 10 feel like an "outc.1st."

Many commuting students ore married and ha,c children. They wnnt tO spend n~ much time as pos~lblc with their families. Other commuters in car pools may want 10 stay ofter ctos, for such things ll j movie~ or games, but arc unable 10 do so because the other car pool members would rather go homo.

Perhaps the biggest negative factor confronting commuters is lrnnsportatlon expense. A~ we all know, g3.5oline and oil are very costly. and arc likely to become even more expensive in the future.

Add 10 that the cost for tune-ups, engine maintenance and 11u1omobile depreciation. and it is obvious that commuters can be faced with 1 tronspon"tion bill that in many cases exceeds the cost of school tuition and books.

With regard to this matter, commuters who cu pool arc fonunate indeed. Their expenses can be CUI in half, perhaps even quartered, depending on homany members their car pool contains.

Efficient commuters should keep a record or their car mileage. because if they itcmii.e on the fcdtnl income tax return. SUIIC gasoline tu, based OI mileage. can be deducted. ln many c:ises, students have no choice but ID commute. Those students who do have a choice a.ad have decided 10 commute arc aware of tbr difficulties they IIUIY encounter but are confrdnl that they will be able to overcome any obsucJcs. So, hats of( to you. commuters. and drift carefullyl

Say it with clothes

By Jan Deluca Cothing. lil:e many other enem3l factors in people. can often detcmnne 11 person's personality, taste (or lack of it) and soetal status.

Too often. people think one has 10 be weahhy 10 be stylish. Not true!

Coeur d Alene is a tOY,n filled with llll ltiods of clothing stores. Keeping a close "-&tch on local newspapers and store windol\ s usually brings substantial s,l\ings if a sale is spotted. Sales are often elusive hO\\ ever: (one such disillusionment is buying a sua\"e three-piece outfit at 3 nice s,ore for half price - then ha,ing your ""bubblt burst .. when you find out you could hm! boogh1 ii for h3lf rhe slit price JI another store uilh a fourth piece included!)

The best IOC31 sales are usually held after Chnsttnas, around Thanksgi,ing and al the end of the summer before fall fashions emerge. Presidents' Day in February is also an occasion for clothing s.ilcs.

For those eifted @,1th th.it "push-bunc,n magic" of the se,"ng machine. grea1 sJ•mgscan be found in defectiveclo1hmg. such .is items "ith ripped zippers. smalt tears. sn.1gs. loose elastic etc. (l don't hov.ever. suggest ,..earing afore menuoned items "a\ is. "I Poss1bl) one of the greatest inventions 10 the color scheme LS the ""neutral" color.

Six items of clothing. name!~· a siirt. pants, shin. vest. jeans and jacl.ct cnn coordinate a 5t}lish wardrobe of 12 separate outfits. Purchasing clothes in such neutral colors as crum. grey or black will add a great deal of diversity to 11 v.ardrobe. A colorful scarf or hat v.;n :ilso add 10 the 3ttract1,eness or a person's amre.

Men·s clothing. though not as versatile .is womcn·s. can also be put toge1hcr fashionabl) and economic.Illy.

Five anicles of clothing; 3 pullo,-er sv-·cater, 11 collared shirt, 3 bluer, Jeans '1.nd corduroy pants can be diversified to make 10 different outfits. This b done by miiing and m31ching the pieces of clothing in ,hades of beige and rust or bbck and grey tones.

When bu) ing clothtng, one. can often get the feeling of pa) mg more '1.nd getting less clotb1og for his mo~ Some ups for getting your money's \\Orth are as follows: - Don't take an>1hing for gr.uncd. Cotton f1bri~ may not be washnblc: shoes m8' 001 be lined "'th arch ~upporh.
