The rest, who noisily munch popcorn and chew juju truits, are in tront ot the silver screen watching tor their favorite star. ' Amityville Horror ' and ' When A Stranger Calls ' haunted viewers with blood and suspense. ' Amityville ' received a three star rating, while ' Stranger ' was termed a failure. One movie that was more fun than scary was ' The Rocky Horror Picture Show. ' Rice, newspapers, hotdogs, and squirt guns were props brought to help make the movie a little more interesting. Dealing with the problems of child custody, ' Kramer vs. Kramer ' received an excellent rating. It was great, I loved it. It should get an academy award, said Suzi Fisher. ' Star Trek ' was a meager attempt to surpass the previous earnings of ' Star Wars. ' I thought the movie could have been done in one hour instead of two, said Beth Hull. ' The Jerk ' and ' Life of Brian ' received three star ratings. With comedy seeping from poor, these were very popular. What movie would get your vote for best picture ' j-11

nriGdiQ specrftUM A ' came ' back Look here, look there. You ' d be doing a lot of that it you wanted to find a concert in Fort Wayne in the spring of 79. For several concerts the city police had cracked down on drugs and alcohol causing arrests and disturbances at concerts at the Coliseum. So instead of the promotion companies retaliating they just pulled out of Fort Wayne. Last summer the ice broke, officers and promoters agreed to meet each other half way. Concerts were back in Fort Wayne. The high school students from the New Haven area turned out in mass at each Coliseum concert. Kansas Styx played in the full, to packed crowds and standing ovations. But, when Kiss came through town controversy and drug busts lay in their path. Seventy-three concert goers were arrested for illegal possession on the night of the concert. Most were held in the city jail over night. In the morning a surprise greeted the impuned fans. Kiss came to jail and provided bail for all of the luckless citizens who were arrested at their concert. Foreigner winged their way on their promotional tour in the midwinter and had what some fans called a mediocre engagement. Mainly, this was attributed to the fact that their lastest album, ' Head Games, ' was less than satisfying. The Beach Boys appeared in late February. When the ticket sales were open many New Havenites said that they weren ' t interested in seeing them. But the day after the concert many professed to going to the concert after all and enjoying the Beach Boys performance. New Haven High students have rediscovered concerts and find them an interesting change of pace. Many who just went to their first concert just this year said that it would not be their last. Concert fans, like Keith DeLucenay (1 1 ). often buy souve- nirs at the concerts. 1 — Media ' Kramer vs. Kramer ' swept the academy awards.

LipG tyle SPeCTftUM R.E.L.I.E.F. When problems build up at school or things just get boring we all try to find our own way to escape. Horsing around, flying an airplane, taking pictures, music, writing, and making movies are a source of diversion for some faculty members. If they can ' t find their means of escape close by, several try to search for it through travel. It may be a big city or a small cabin and living like a hermit, but they bring peace to those people. I like going home and seeing my children every day, says Tom Lamb, history instructor. Students, however, find their methods of escape through different means. Some rollerskate, play musical instruments, goto movies, sit through plays at the Civic time after time, date, talk to friends, and yes, even smoke pot for their release from school pressures. I just like listening to my stereo, says Rick Norton. With the minds and bodies of students and teachers spending most of the day scholastically, most at least minor in some type of escape. School gets to everyone at times. Even when time is most precious, that assignment is due, or there is that deadline to meet, we still need to set some time aside to temporarily escape from the troubles of school life, or it will all catch up to us, one of these days. Embarrassing moments can occur when caps and gowns don ' t fit properly. To be sure ttiis doesn ' t tiappen to Keitti Hoffman, tie is measured prior to the final fitting.
