Disco beat hits campus Like the million other Americans, BCCC students and fac- ulty were caught up in the delirium of disco. SAC sponsored at least one disco a month and special ones during the year for homecoming, Christmas and the spring formal. There are now more than 10,000 discotheques in the U.S.; last year no less than 37 million Americans got out on the disco floor at least once. The total revenues of that first big season were in excess of four billion dollars. As the delirium continues discos are being franchised with new places opening at the phenomenal rate of 20 per week. BCCC offered disco dance classes as a non-credit course in the fall. El Dorado opened a high school disco in January, 1979. A glance at Billboard charts in September 1978, showed that four of the top 10 records in the nation were disco songs and that a large portion of the entire top-40 list was either disco music or music that showed its beat and style. At the time when dressing up and going out on the town have £ • once again become fashionable, disco offers plenty of action every night as it has become America ' s foremost form of entertainment. In New York, where there are now more than 1 ,500 discos, Stu- dio 54, the city ' s finest is the greatest disco in the world. Studio 54 was once the Fortune Gallo Opera House, and later a CBS studio for the The $64,000 Ques- tion now has become a regular showplace. The cine-disco concept album is a prophecy of the most impor- tant single development in the long history of the entertainment business. What it points to be is the merger of the movie industry and the record industry in the first total entertainment combine. The power of this parlay was demonstrated conclusively by Saturd ay Nigh Fever, a film that has had a huge impact on the entertainment world. The film has grossed to date $118 million, making it one of the greatest box- office hits in the history of motion pictures. At the same time, the sound track album, featuring the Bee Gees, has sold 15 million copies. On the strength of Satur- day Night Fever, the whole disco industry has taken off in the blue. • • • « zs iwammi m mmmmm -■ ii
