Gerald Hart, student at Anderson High: "The reason the Russians did it is because we did it (four years ago). I think they pulled out just to get back at us." Pat Harris, teacher: "I think it's unfair to the young people. They should be able to show their ability, but that's the way society is. Politics is the real problem." Veronica Kirby, unemployed: "Let them pull out and go on with the Olympics as planned. There's no need for . Reagan to worry about it." Louis J. Simon, press operator: "The Soviets are getting back at America for what we did four years ago. It's hurting the athletes bad. They'll be the ones who'll have to suffer."

For many lowincome families the downtown-motel and hotel rates are out of reach because these families have only a very limited amount of money to cover their entire vacation. For families looking for a clean, comfortable place to sleep without the extra the budget motel is a blessing. I Budget motels usually I rent for $30 or less per night for two and many offer special (ft family rafes covering families with children.

Coping Overcome ft Syndicated Columnist Have you ever passed a stranger on the street whom you wanted to get to know but were afraid to speak? Perhaps you saw someone at a party, at work or even at the store. Well, why didn't you speak? You were probably afraid of being rei c%r\ Vaii UK . . . . ?- - k l ' ? 1 - * ? ? a jv.vivu. i v^u ^iuuduiy were ininKing inai your feelings would be terribly hurt if you said "hello" to that person but the person did not return the greeting. This fear troubles most people. So you are not unpsual. But, it doesn't have to be as tormenting as you think. The fact that you took the initiative to speak to the other person means that you are a stronger person than the one who refused to return your greeting. Eventually, someone will show you how delighted they are to meet you. There are as many people in this society who want to meet you as there are people whom you want to meet. But they are as afraid of rejection as you ^ might be. If you continue to be assertive, you will eventually be rewarded. This is the usual unpleasant scenario of the fearful individual: You see someone you would like to meet but because of your fear of rejection you refrain from introducing yourself.

It really hurts the young people because they don't have a chance to show what they've got. That's four years of training down the drain." Angie Estes, student at Southwest Junior High: "It will mean less people to compete against. The U.S. will have a better chance of winning, but they're not giving their young people a chance." Fred Lash, student at South Park High: "It's really bad. I think they should stay in the Olympics." Laura Patton, employee at WinstonSalem Convalescent Center: "They're going to pull out one a day until everybody leaves. The Soviets are showing their power by doing this. It's like putting a knife in and turning it around." on a budget: Katherine Rodeghier prepared the following chart that lists the number of budget motels in the country, their location, and their toll free telephone numbers.
