ENTERTAINMENT The Ghostbusters team of Er- nie Hudson, Harold Ramis. Dan Aykroyd. and Bill Murray whipped mermaids, gremlins, and lndiana Jones to become the biggest-grossing movie of 1984. Made for S38 million, it pulled in more than S200 million in its first five months. The movies invented PG-13, a new rating to steer parents with kids under 13 away from films deemed excessively violent. PG- 13 was praised by Spielberg, whose Gremlins and Indiana Jones inspired the rating. lt was a year when Terms of Endearment won the Academy Award for best picture, for which Shirley MacLaine won the Oscar for best actress. Robert Duvall was voted best actor for Tender Merciesf' For better or worse, Dyn- asty took over from Dallas as the no. 1 primetime TV show of 1984. Clara Peller's Where's the Beef? commercials for Wendy's made fast food a three- way contest and gave Walter Mondale, in another competi- tion, his best line. X ? 1984 also took a toll of famil- iar names and faces, including James Mason, Ethel Merman, Count Basie, Truman Capote, Andy Kaufman, and Marvin Gaye. The world mourned the loss of Richard Burton at age 58, the colorful Shakespearean who be- came more famed for his private life and his on-again-off-again marriages to Elizabeth Taylor. The year did not provide a bumper crop of celebrity babies, but Meredith Baxter Birney and Debbie Boone both welcomed twins to the world. Also, Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal pro- duced a child and so did Mick Jaggar and Jerry Hall. lt was also a year when the Betty Ford Center for drug and alcohol abuse graduated such celebrities as Liza Minnelli, Eliza- beth Taylor, Peter Lawford, and Mary Tyler Moore.

The Hilltop Campus of Illinois College was not the only community that had a new beginning. The community of Jack- sonville received a face lift and became the home of new beginnings. The face lift began when the Illinois Theatre and the Times both were ren- ovated to accomodate the community. The Illinois and Times, once only having one screen for a showing, divided them- selves so that they can now show two shows at the same time. Another face lift was the re-opening of the Regulator. After being closed for almost a year, the SERV X . - .W -tswvmmmwwwzowwmwwmwxm 2 -Na , in lsrr s Bi . . BAS:-:IN - noanmsi Er , t , at ff' WX, Q' L t, I ' 'N W 4 . 'ls' . ,.,..

1 ,,..,,a'ff X yyp, , ,fl If George I 46 ...NAN- Julian Lennon, 21, had a de- but album Valotte, that earned raves in the US. lt was also a year when Mi- chael Jackson and his brothers made history with the success of the Victory tour that made millions Cone ticket cost S303 and hit approximately 15 U.S. cities. Boy George pushed andro- gyny to the point where record company executives were willing to give him the shirts off their backs to sign up his hot group, Culture Club. Onstage, in videos, and in his film, Purple Rain, Prince, 25, projects a dark, ambiguous vi- sion in heavy eyelines and Ed- qardianpunk. But Prince is a health-food-eating, Bible-read- ing homebody who shuns liquor and drugs. At 46, 60's soul queen Tina Turner is hot again. In 1981, five years after her breakup with husband Ike, Tina'ventured out as a solo performer. In '84 her first album, Private Dancer, hit big, and one cut What's Love Got To Do With It? topped the charts for three weeks in the fall. Frankie Goes to Hollywood is the hottest band to hit the U.S. since the Beatles 20 years ago. Their single and video Relax was banned by the BBC and it promptly became a hit. Their new album Welcome to the Plea- suredome, was at the top of the charts all winter.
