Rick Nellson, jams at Barton Coliseum provldlng a nlght of loud music and a great show. . 1lr'k'k'klk'k ldell C eep Trick A favorite form of recreation for high school students. atriots had the thrill of attend- ing various rock concerts that visited Barton Coliseum dur- ing the year. One of the most colorful and exciting concerts was by Cheap Trick. On Jan. 28, five tractor trailor rigs arrived at Barton Coliseum to set-up what radio stations promoted as The biggest rock-and-roll show ever. The show was exciting and all that attended was caught in the thrill of the event. Rick Nielson. the lead guitarist. provided most of the excitement. He flicked guitar picks to the audience and at one time wore five guitars. The lead vocalist, Robin Nander. kept the show going at an even pace and did an excellent job singing the sometimes strange lyrics common to most of Cheap Tricks, songs. The only disappointment of the evening was that the Michael Stanley Band, which was scheduled to open the concert, didn't arrive. The reason being their bass player had broken his hand.

Wll0 hot JR . The show that swept the nation with a puzzling question. eventy-six percent of all people watching television in the nation were tuned in to the same program, eighty-eight percent of those watching in central Arkansas wanted to know too. lt was time to find out the answer to that suspense- ful question: Who Shot J.R? The single episode that revealed the truth brought in more viewers than any Super Bowl game and even outranked the first episode of Roots. Those in England who wanted to know the truth were able to tune in to the radio. Most had decided on a suspect, but very few were correct. Out of those interviewed, several thought it was Dusty. Kim Scales based her decison on logic. lt was Dusty, said Kim, They wouldn't have taken out a major character and he seems to have died or disappeared. But, Trey Velvin, junior, thought it was Dusty, ...because he was upset about the way J.R. treated Sue Ellen. Some believed it was Sue Ellen, his wife. lt was Sue Ellen. He was going to put her in the insane asylum and he wouldn't give her a divorce, com- mented Monique Vessels. After finding out that Christian was the victim, interest in Dallas fell. I watched that one episode, but I don't make it a Friday night priority, said Sally Robinson, Ulf it's on, l'll watch but if there is a game or party, I'd rather be there. Dallas and .I.R. started a new fad that beat out Jaws or Superman by far. Bumper stickers, varying from JR For President, to I shot JR, he stole my coke, were seen all -over town, several t-shirts hit the market, posters, hats, buttons and banners were also among the novelty items which could be purchased. 50!For fun lT'S lN THE NEWS.
