(olorjul Fall State Fair, opening of hunting season, lots of politics all combine to make fall a time not easily forgotten It's called the busy season by Little Rock teenagers, especially those who at- tend Central High. It’s fall, a season when there’s lots to do each day, ranging from the annual Arkan- sas State Fair at Barton Coliseum to Fri- day night football games at Quigley Stadium, from election campaigns to Halloween, and from hunting season to the start of the state's concert season. Fall is an exciting season. sophomore Martha George said. “It's a time to get out and do things with your friends. Getting out can also be an experience to be remembered. Mother Nature paints in various hues the many woodlands sur- rounding the city. Summer clothing is stored and warmer clothing, usually much more colorful than what is worn during other seasons, is got- ten out. Warm days and cool nights are usually provided, making it a season with con- trasts, something that most people in Lit- tle Rock enjoy. To remind voter» of the November 4 general election, signs were seen throughout the city, including this one for Republican Frank White, the victor for governor. 26— Fall

Entertainment Lots of 'fun activities entice students from studies; television viewing ranks at top of entertainment list Some students complained about “nothing to do” for entertainment. These students, however, were just not informed about entertainment ac- tivities in the Little Rock area. There was much to do on any night of the week. And. what were some of these activities? They included concerts by some of the nation’s top musical groups, movies, bowling, ice skating, plays, planetarium shows, etc. These entertainment activities cost money though. Therefore, most students couldn’t attend as many activities as they liked. The No. 1 form of entertainment, as would be expected, was television viewing. A poll conducted by the Tiger staff showed that the average student watched television 3.3 hours daily. Entertainment—25
