Car crises create constant havoc
Of all the things my mother taught n

fixing thc carburetor — that's why we
have boyfriends. And brothers. And
fathers. And other assorted male friends
and relatives.
Perhaps part of the problem with my
car is that I bought it from a wrecking
yard. I reali7e now that this should have

and it hasnt left yet. In the last year IVe
had installed two mufflers, two alterna¬
tors, two fan belts, a timing belt, two
accelerator cables and had three lunc-ups.
Not to mention a headache.
I've averaged at least one tow per
month since Sept. 23, 1983. Three times I
was towed by the same guy. Talk about

and says "you mean you havent gotten rid
of this heap yet?" Shut up and tow, 1
mumble.
Riding in a tow truck is a bad enough
experience without having the serviceman
making snide remarks. And another thing,
why is il that everyone must stare at you
when you're riding in a tow truck? Why
can't they mind their own business?

With both feet on the brake, 1 eased the
car off the highway and pulled into the
nearest Chevron station. 1 shoved the gear
sclecter into park and shut off the car.
There I was, heart racing, stranded at
Belmont and 99 with two 16-year-old gas
station attendants and a can of WD-40.
1 think that was tow number eleven.
The one thing I've discovered about get¬
ting my car fixed is that when all else fails:

Once, Triple A towed my c

Boys, and the driver made it quite clear
that if by some chance Manny, Moe and
Jack couldnt do the job, 1 was out of luck.
Triple A couldnt tow me again.
The "boys" then proceeded to let mc
know that "we cant do that kinda work
here. It aint our policy."
My face fell, my upper lip quivered, my
eyes welled wilh tears that spilled over
onto my cheeks.
Two hours and $47.38 later, 1 drove my

and carried it like a roasted pig on a plat¬

I've even had my share of scary ex¬

Four weeks ago I was driving up 99
when 1 glanced at my speedometer and
saw 1 was tooling along at 80 mph.
"Slightly over the speed limit. I'd better
slow down," I thought to myself. But

students are more alert in the morning,
they should schedule their classes and
plan to studv before lunch.
Even after a student had done all this,
they may have problems sticking to their
schedule. For example, some studenls get
tired of studying after a while. In that case,
Hildreth recommends a short break until
igair
people don't know how to say no when
someone asks them to go to the movies or
to talk on the phone.
"Some people over-schedule themselves
for things when there is no possible human
way to do them," Hildreth said.
Hildreth also noted that students wont
always be able to accomplish a task in the
best time possible. So, when they plan
ahead, they should leave themselves the
maximum number of hours.'
"We all have 24 hours in one day,"
Hildreth said. "The trick is learning how
to get the things done in those 24 hours.

ccs, loss of appetite, lethargy, and physical
complaints such as headaches, body aches
and crying spells, can signal a more serious
problem, and professional help, such as
that offered by a mental health center such
as Kings View Center, should be sought.
The holidays should be joyous times,
and Dr. Noyes emphasizes that being
aware of the "downside" and taking pains
to avoid it. can help make them so.

The Daily CoUegian-3
No. 3 Cowboys edge FSU matmen
By Logan Molan
Sports Writer
The Fresno State wrestling team vave
the number two- ranked Oklahoma^State
Cowboys a run for their money Wednes¬
day night but ran out of steam in the late
matches to drop a 24-14 decision.
The Bulldogs led through seven matches
but failed to score in the remaining three,
while OSU tallied 11 points in the same
span.
"We had a chance to beat "em and we
didnt," said Bulldog coach Dennis De¬
Liddo. "I'm happy, but we had them on
the ropes. WeVe just got to work harder."
Oklahoma State coach Joe Seay had
nothing but praise for the Bulldogs, whom
his team beat 45-2 last year.
"Fresno State has a tough team and a
fine coach," said Seay. "They come out
and wrestle and dont stall. I think hell
(DeLiddo) have a great team by the end of
the year. There's a lot of potential."
The anticipated big match in the 118-
pound category between Fresno State's
Pablo Saenz, ranked third in the nation
and OSU's number one-ranked Mark
Perry failed to materialize. Perry did not
make the trip because of conflicts with a
final exam.
Oklahoma State forfeited the match,
giving Fresno State a quick 6-0 lead.
Saenz moved up to the 126-pound class,
beating Brian Stevens 7-3 and openingHhe
Bulldogs' lead to 9-0.
In thc 134-pound class, OSU's John
Smith, ranked third, took a 8-4 win in an
aggressive match over Fresno State's Joe
Ismay, ranked 10th. With the win, the
Cowboys closed the lead to 9-3.
Fresno State's 142-pound entry, Durbin
Lloren^was overpowered by number
four-ranked Luke Grove, 13-3, cutting the
icam score to 9-7 Bulldogs:

Oklahoma State's Bill Dykeman, thc

had little trouble with Doug Carnation,
winning 14-5, cutting the Bulldogs'lead to
one point, 12-11. Fresno State kept its
lead in the 167-pound class as Fred Little
drew with OSU's Bryan Boone, 3-3.
