I was probably four or five, said Nancy Gilbert, FIoro sophomore. For others, the addiction was passed down through other family members. I'Ihe reason I storted watching soap operas was because I had older sisters thot watched them, and I continued watching them Up un- til the time I come to college, soid JoIe Payton, Pekin sophomore. For whatever reason the habit developed, soap opera addiction has moved out of the realm of bored housewives and become 0 populor pastime omong students, even moles. Some men are emborrossed to od- mit that they suffer from this molody, but the attitudes ore changing. Some discomfort orises, soid Nichoios Posonos, Marion freshmon, Hbecouse they really wont to keep their Imocho' imoge. It's stereotyped that only women wotch soops. I'I think soap operos ore for everyone. Everyone can enjoy them. They're greot, Posonos added. Many students find soap operas help relieve the stress and onxiety of tests and studying. By escaping into the imaginary and tragic lives of the characters on the screen, they con ovoid thinking about their own prob- lems, for o few short hours each afternoon. Other students watch the soaps 05 0 simple remedy for boredom. HI watched them during the summer because I bobysot and there wasn't anything else to do, Poyton soid. Whether 0 student watches the soaps every day or only during voca- tions to escape from tension or boredom, this addiction is relatively harmless. At least parents now know where and when the best time is to telephone their children.- A typical scene or college, pizza and juicy gossip ar- ticles about soap stars.
