As school begins many new students are worried about how they will get through the next stage of their lives. When many students entered DMACC for the first time, rather than being welcomed with open arms, they found themselves Linda Plueger faced with finding a place to park. As school started on August 25, many P h i B e t a students were forced to park on the grass. When the students left their possibly stressful first day, many were blocked in L a m b d a the area they parked. But even with the lack of parking, students have been cour- teous about not parking in any fire lanes s e e k i n g or handicap spots. Fines will be issued for photo by Josh Hutt those who park in reserved spots.

Now days when you walk down the street, it is likely that you will see some- one with tattoos, piercings, or dreadlocks. These things have become a socially acceptable way of expression. Every year when school starts, the tattoo shops are overflowing with students, waiting to get a new tattoo or piercing. However, when people get their appearance changed by these things, they often do not think about the pessimistic looks that could result. Two people whose lives revolve around these body modifications are Bob Parr and Sarah Jans. Making a Living with Tattoos Upon meeting Bob Parr most people’s first thought is he has a lot of tattoos. Parr has tattoos on his arms and legs and has a septum and lip piercing. In June of 2002 he opened Jaded Angel in Ankeny due to a great deal of demand. Parr’s next step was to expand and open Jaded Angel 2 in Ames, located on Lincoln Way near campus town.
