Hair was on the rise Wild, new hairstyles were a main attraction of the Cougars ' school year. Added to the old styles were the new, trendy hairstyles, which many guys and gals were wearing. It was an unusual year, to see the creative changes in hairstyles, Kim Bailey said, but the most amazing thing was the way most of the guys on campus got their hair to stand straight up in the air. Many students around campus felt that the new styles were fun and inter- esting, and nowhere close to being bor- ing. They believed that their parents didn ' t really mind the wild styles, as long as their children still had hair - which was not the case for some. I feel the changes in hairstyles will be in for a long time, said Mike Un- derwood. It ' s mostly like music: it never goes out. just gets better. The different standup or stickout hairstyles were adopted more by guys, but a few girls did have them, and some girls made original creations of their own with off-the-wall hair colors. Hair color was an important ele- ment in some ' 87 hairstyles. The most popular change was from brunette to blonde - or to a single streak of color. Long hours and hard work went into the creative hairstyles, ex- claimed Linda Ignacio, but no way would I wear my hair like that! FRIKNDSHIPST LE: Jason Alahos and Trac Slockham roam ihc campus at lunchtimc.

R-R-Rap! Rap beat grabs new listeners RUN-DMC and the Beastie Boys: they were both a part of the ever-more- popular rap culture. Rap had been around for a while, but in 1986-87, more and more people were discover- ing it. People .enjoy the rhythm and beat, rap fan Rufus Johnson said. The rhythm and beat were a major part of rap music ' s appeal: it was one of the easiest types of pop music to dance to. its unique style and individuality set it apart from any other type of music. No instruments were necessary to cre- ate the music. For the most part, people listened to rap music for the rhythm and beat, but the lyrics also played a big part. They were interesting and informative, sometimes conveying messages about drugs and alcohol. According to fans, to come up with such creative and entertaining raps took a very talented mind. A good rapper can convey a mes- sage and make it interesting, Denise Derting said. They make you want to hear and remember it. With all the raps groups there were, lively discussions occurred over which group was best. The most popular groups, however, were RUN-DMC. and the Beastie Boys. RUN-DMC had been rapping for a while, but the Beas- tie Boys were new on the scene. Many wondered how long rap would be around. Most believed it would last ten years or less, but a few students thought that rap would stick around and develop into a new type of music. Though rap was popular with students, the Grammies were awarded to more traditional groups and artists. Steve Win- wood won Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocalist. His Back In The High Life album won Best Engineered Recording. That ' s What Friends Are For captured Song of the Year. Robert Palmer took Best Male Rock Vocal Perfor- mance with Addicted to Love. Bruce Hornsby and the Range received Best New Artist. Tina Turner won Best Fe- male Rock Performance with Back Where You Started. The Eurythmics won Best Group Rock Performance for their record Missionary Man.
