. . Dancing Music Videos Inspire A New Found Dancing Craze larity of MTV and mu- sic Videos, dancing had reached new heights. Dancing had not only influenced students, but it had in- fluenced musicians as well. Many popu- lar musical groups and performers be- gan to not only play music and sing, but they also began to dance, dance, dance! Two major motion pictures which in- spired the dancing craze were John Travolta's Staying Alive and new- comer Jennifer Beall's hit Flash- ith the increasing popu- Chris Cash shows his skill in break Dancing. 152!ben1ors i dance, which brought about the popu- lar break dancing craze. Donna Summer's video She Works Hard for the Money and Billy Joel's Uptown Girln were very popular and displayed a variety of people dancing as they portrayed people who ranged from auto mechanics to housewives to nurses. But, perhaps, the most popular of all the video dancers was Micheal Jackson. The performers in Micheal J ackson's videos Billie Jean and Beat It', dis- played incredible dancing abilities. The most popular of his videos, Thriller , which was actually classified as a short film, demonstrated the most original and best choreographed dancing of all the others. Micheal Jackson's smooth moves and seemingly effortless dancing inspired many students to really take dancing seriously. As Lee Ann Red said, My dream is to one day dance as well as Micheal Jackson.

Then I will finally be able to get into RH rated movies without lying about my age. IfI were only eighteen, then I could- well, I would be able to .... Well, it doesn't matter what I can do. I just want to be eighteenf, For many students, eighteen seemed to be a magical age. It was at age eigh- teen that students were considered adults. However, students realized that this was not such a magical day after all. Turning eighteen was more than blowing out eighteen candles on a birthday cakeg it meant that students would be faced with many more respon- sibilities. Students who were not previously employed began searching seriously for employment. Many filled out applica- tions at fast food restaurants such as Wendy's and McDonald,s, while others chose to apply at clothing stores such as Unique Fashions, Dillards, and Brooks. Some eighteen year olds filled out college applications to schools which varied from UALR to Baylor to Har- vard. At eighteen, young men were faced with the requirement of registering for the draft. Some not only registered but enlisted in one of the armed services. TEQQENSTA CZ! CII .li Voting privileges were given to eigh- teen year olds after they registered to vote. Many looked forward to getting more involved in their government, re- alizing that they were the future leaders of the country. While these eighteen year olds took advantage of the ability to vote, others thought it was too much of a hassle and chose not to vote. Although there were many good times experienced by eighteen year olds, with all of these added responsi- bilities many eighteen year olds such as Mitch James could honestly say, Be- ing eighteen is no different than being any other age, except now we are old enough to go to war.
