Trying to keep away from Kong, junior Eric Waltenberg entertains himself with his home video Colecovision. I New Wave Sets Style With the snip of the scissors and the twist of a brush, it starts to take its form. Feathering the sides, mak- ing hair stand on end, and giving a poofy effect to the crown of the head was what it took to create a punk hairstyle. Copying the styles of their idol singers such as Olivia Newton John, the Go Go ' s, or Rod Stewart, teen- agers became part of the punk hairstyle syndrome. Some students used this trend to help identify with themselves. But whatever the case, one thing was sure; the new funka- delic trend had arrived. Two people who wore the most extreme punk hairstyles at Concor- dia were junior Dawn Bohnke and senior J.R. Roemke. I was sick of my old hairstyle and I wanted to be in with the times, commented Bohnke. When I first got my hair cut, I didn ' t go to an extreme punk hair- style. I just gradually got it cut shorter, said Roemke. Along with the hairstyles went the wardrobe. The hairstyle didn ' t change my personality as a person but I had to change my clothing to fit my new look. said Bohnke. Senior J.R. Roemke and junior Dawn Bohnke display the latest in new wave hairstyles. i Addicts Indulge In Video Games Attacking the machines with brute bodily force, addicted video players poked buttons while simulta- neously grasping levers. Viewing the colorful objects within the screen, the video player attempted to vis- ciously demolish his opponent. It was a challenging attempt to better your own score, said junior Neal Godfrey. Neal spent approxi- mately three hours every weekend at the arcades. Missy Joy also indulged in the vid- eo world. She enjoyed playing Tem- pest, Frogger, and Centipede, among other favorites. I won 97 tokens a month for a year from 97 FM in the Stick It and Win ' contest, explained Missy, so her addiction didn ' t cost her a penny. Trapped In the video world, sophomore Da- vid Smith spends his weekends at the ar- cades 28 trends

After picking up an REO Speedwagon concert ticket at Karma, junior Andrea Lupke reviews the songs on REO ' s latest album. E.T. Steals Hearts The biggest movie hit of 1982 was E.T. , which starred a fictional character from outerspace who was accidently left on Earth. Elliot, an earthling boy befriended E.T. and hid him in his closet. Another hit was An Officer and a Gentleman starring Richard Gere as Zach Mayo, a future pilot, and Debra Winger, as Paula Porifki, a factory worker. This movie was a touching story about two people who tried not to fall in love, but did. One of the more popular films of the season, Tootsie, starred Dustin Hoffman as Michael Dorsey and Dorothy Michaels. Michael Dorsey disguised himself as a woman and got an acting job on a soap opera. Other hit movies were Rocky III starring Sylvester Stalone, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Verdict starring Paul Newman. My favorite movie was ' Kiss Me Goodbye ' with Sally Fields because it was a different kind of story and it was really interesting, said junior Robin Milakovic. Cuddling a lovable E.T. doll, freshman Lisa Linnemeier displays one of the by-products of the hit movie. i M A S H Memories Preserved Starting the television season with high ratings was Square Pegs, a program about two high school freshmen trying to fit in with the high school social standards. Other popular shows among Ca- dets were Remmington Steel, Family Ties, It Takes Two, Sat- urday Night Live, with Eddie Mur- phy, Silver Spoons, Knight Rider and the old favorites, M A S H and Dallas. M A S H ended its television career after 1 1 years, with a two- hour special which was aired on February 28. But the memories lin- gered as reruns continued through- out the season, and will for years to come. Oblivious to everything around them, Mike Strassen, Ross Toenges, and Fred Schroeder hear only what ' s coming from their walk men. entertainment 27

Computers Hook Users LIST PRINT RUN SAVE Viewing a program on the screen was a unique experience and chal- lenge for students who owned their own personal computers. Senior Shane Settle enjoyed working on his Bell and Howell Apple. This particular type of computer consists of a terminal, which keys in the information, a screen where you view what you ' ve typed into the machine, a disc drive, where date is stored, and the printer, which prints the output of the program. Junior Doug Kanning and fresh- men Mike Kroemer both owned Atari 400s. I spend the majority of my time just using it for games like Tic Tac Toe, said Kanning. I first became interested in com- puters during eighth grade, said Having my own computer Is very educa- tional because I can apply It to different types of business. Kroemer. Holy Cross had just bought some and that ' s where I first learned to use one, he added. Settle ' s first interest in computers came from watching his sister de- sign programs for Data Domain. I don ' t know how to program yet, but I ' m taking Data Processing at RVS right now and I ' m learning the BASIC program, explained Settle. Having my own computer is very educational because I can apply it to different types of business, he said.
