watch out for those night moves! Nights are an important time to Harding students. Nights are usually spent with special friends. On Friday nights after ball games, the crowd often goes some place to eat. Fast food places like Danver's, Wendy's, Krystal, and Steak 'n Shake are favorites. Saturday nights are movie nights. Movie knockouts this year have been: Star Wars, Saturday Night Fever, The World's Greatest Lover, Heroes, and t'Close Encounter of the Third Kind. Concerts are another popular mode of entertainment among students. Memphis has been blessed this year by appearances of Ted Nugent, Styx, Foreigner, and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. More recently, Harding students have developed an interest in the theatre. Performances at Theatre Memphis, The Circuit Playhouse, and Playhouse on the Square have provided enjoyment in both comedy and drama situations. After a busy week ot' eating out, going to movies, going to concerts, and spending an unpredictable evening at the theatre, one's financial resources can be quite drained. This poor feeling usually gives way to the most popular entertainment of all, watching television. 16 Night Moves
