Some students are involved in school activities; some work; and some belong to different out of school organizations to keep them busy. But what about the teenagers who are not interested in these happenings? What is there for them to do? Or, where do you go for a date these days that won't cost you more than $5 to $10? Those are pretty good questions. Something is needed.

Place for People, an outside organization, started with intentions to help solve these teenage problems. Because of lack of support by both the community and teenagers and for various other reasons, the place has closed. But now what? What do the students who were interested (whether a clique or not) do? And what about the rest of the teenage population?

We feel a new attempt should be made to reopen a so called Place for People under a new name and new ideals - a place where the majority of teenagers from the Des

Plaines area would get involved because they would be involved in activities that they enjoy.

Student Council has formed a committee to look into what interests the students of Maine West. We feel this is totally necessary. In order for this place to be successful it needs the support of a wide range of teenagers. Questionnaires will be going to homerooms before the spring break to find out what the ideal "place" would consist of. A final tally will then be presented to the City Council.

The City Council will be asked to appropriate funds under the Park District's supervision. Any further suggestions should be presented to this newspaper in room R‑210 or the Student Council suggestion box. When you fill out the questionnaire, be as honest and creative as possible because the results will affect you.
