Reading best sellers makes comeback in top ten After years of student apathy toward the subject, reading made a comeback as one of the year ' s popu- lar pastimes. Maybe because TV pro- gramming reached an all-time low, curling up with a good book became more accepted as was shown in the Citadel ' s newest top-ten category — books. Kramer vs. Kramer, made into a movie starring Dustin Hoffman, was voted the number one local bestsel- ler. Lord of the Rings and Thorn- birds followed closely behind in the first-ever poll of most popularnovels. Reminiscing a year ago in this sec- tion of the Citadel, the already initi- ated categories that the first graduat- ing class of Irvine High had were Mork and Mindy ; tops with televi- sion shows, movies for dating spots, later as the most popular lingo, lis- tening to music for the favorite pas- time, feet for the best mode of trans- portation; Animal House for the .number one flick; Styx for the num- ber one group, and Stairway to . Heaven for the number one song. Ironically enough, the class of ' 80 was left with basically the same stat- ure as their once-upon-a-time peers. However, some changes did occur as Saturday Night Live overtook the Orkan wonder in television shows, moving up from last year ' s second spot, followed closely behind by M A S H and Cineamerica. The dating spots category was replaced this year by hangouts with parties, friends, and — for over-eager gourmets — anyplace with food tak- ing the first three positions. Later remained the most popular lingo over the 365-day period although newcomers Oh Nooo! and give me a break took over last year ' s excellent and not even jobs as the number two and three favorites. It ' s funny that as far as pastimes are concerned, partying moved up from the number two spot to number one, but the other two favorites, friends ' houses and skiing, didn ' t even place in last year ' s category. One of the more popular groups, means of transportation, finished exactly the same as last June only the top three spots alternated slightly. Instead of ranking feet, Porche and Volkswagen, this year ' s order read Porche, feet and Volkswagen. Upon the motion picture screen, the most favored movies in 1979 John Belushi ' s Animal House, Warren Beatty ' s Heaven Can Wait and John Travolta ' s Grease disappeared. Needless to say, the slack was picked up by The Jerk , Apocalypse Now and 10. On the music front, it was highly unanimous that Styx was voted the most favorite group for two years in a row while Led Zeppelin moved up a notch and Donna Summer was rated for the first time. Styx also won the songs race with their Cornerstone album hit Babe, followed closely behind by Led Zeppelin ' s Stairway to Heaven and The Knack ' s My Sharona. Transportation 1. Porsche 2. Feet 3.
