Music and Movie Video Mania Strike The video craze took over Leo as noticing before or since, and any free time most students Inad v os spent sitting in front of tine television v atching the latest videos and movies. Instead of students trading vid- eo games such as Pac-man and Frogger, tliey were renting and passing around taped movies they hod on cassettes. Music videos and video taped movies became very popular last year, taking over video games. Some television stations such as MTV were total music networks. MTV-music television was on the air 24 hours a day, seven days a week. MTV included music videos from all areas, the latest music news, special concerts, and the MTV exclusives each hour. Even though only a small por- tion of the students received the MTV station many students still kept up with the music videos by watching certain shows that had videos on them such as Friday Night Videos. ' Tm glad I have MTV so I can keep up on the latest videos, said Mitch Delogrange, one of the students who had MTV. The videos seemed to play a large part on the record scene as well. Many experts on the music scene commented about the fact that if the video of the song wasn ' t good or popular, the song would probably not moke It on the charts. Many movie videos didn ' t come out until a year after the movie was in the theaters. I don ' t mind waiting awhile for a good movie to come out on a cassette because it only costs about $4.00 to rent a movie for a weekend, but if I were to take a date to a movie it would cost about twice as much to see the movie just once, said senior, Dan Osborn. — Missy Sutton — Michael Witt ,28 Lifestyles — Video )

For many, to start a video cassette re- corder (VCR) is to push a button or two on the television or VCR.
