Dim All The Lights At the Bayou, Eddie Money seeks a smaller audience for a more Intimate performance at- mosphere. Out of the darkness glowed thousands of tiny lights. The roar- ing was intense, echoing from the highest beams to the people far below. The night was alive with music and the people responded, shouting and clapping until their voices were hoarse and their hands were sore. They were par- ticipating in an event, allowing their spirits to be carried wherever the music willed. They were atten- ding a concert. The Washington area concert season catered to listeners of every taste, from local new wave bands playing to small groups of frenzied dancers in Georgetown clubs, to big name ar- tists performing for 18,000 wild fans at Maryland’s Capital Centre. Among this year’s highlights were Bruce Springsteen, The Cars, Journey, and Rush, while on the local scene groups like The Ritz and The Insect Surfers made their way into the music scene. No mat- ter what the type of music, for those attending a concert the ex- citement remained intact, filled with the memories of a stage that became alive as the lights began to dim.

Springfield Mall, with its many department stores, clothing stores, and specialty shops provided many employment opportunities. Even more jobs were made available due to the large number of shopping centers in the area. While the majority of student employees only worked to get a weekly paycheck, others were willing to volunteer. Though they didn't get paid, they did receive other benefits. Volunteer workers used the training, ex- perience, and skill development learned on the job to prepare for future occupations. The election year gave students an opportunity to distribute campaign literature, stuff envelopes, and take polls. No matter what reason students chose to become part of the work- ing world, most felt that the benefits of having a job made up for a missed football game or club meeting. Student Life 27
