ON THE STREET

This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "What New Year's resolutions will you make for 1998?"

Karry Pontious, Scott City

"Well, one of them ... I need to lose weight. At least ten pounds. I've still got baby fat on me. Probably be a little nicer to people."

Danielle Roussel, Cape Girardeau

"A New Year's resolution would be to stay on my exercise program. Not to make anymore New Year's resolutions."

Nancy Johnson, Jackson

"Be a little more gentle and kinder to people this year. I'm an ER nurse and I think that's always nice to do that."

David Sensiba, Cape Girardeau

"To start working out and I'm going to prepare to go to grad school."

Todd Marchi, Jackson,

"Probably do a heck of a lot better in school than I did this year. Well, I wouldn't mind getting a girlfriend this year."
