line Watching the clock was a sport that sophomores excelled in. Getting to class on time was not half as important as getting out early. As stomachs complained, the watch hands stood still, and no amount of shaking or winding would bring lunch fast enough. Electric watches eliminated re- membering to wind. My watch is a compo-sir. That's an electric diagonal wristwatch, said Lisa Edelstein. Pocket watches regained popularity with girls as well as guys. I own a pocket watch, it really looks sharp with a three piece suit, Kelly Cooper, female sophomore, reported. Timex watches, made in Little Rock, were popularly priced in both standard and fad watches. New styles. Unusual shapes and bracelet bands, even pocket watches, are selected by guys for Christmas gifts.

Fighting it out. Lisa Edelstein and Robert Bergeron battle it out Star Wars style. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far a- way... There lived a group of people who became so enchanted with a movie that they paid to see it over and over and over, again. We were that group, and the catalyst of our enchantment was the box office smash, Star Wars. We became infatuated with the metallic stars of the movie, Artoo- Detoo and See-Threepio and followed our princess Leia through rebel- lious tactics and brilliant sky battles with Imperial Fighters. Sophomore Robert Bergeron, who had seen the movie 14 times, felt that the fantasy plot of the movie was the main contributing factor to its popu- larity. Bergeron also was impressed 1 Star Wars with the special effects the movie employed. I especially enjoyed the chess game between Artoo-Detoo and Chewbacca. Not everybody was totally impres- sed with the movie. Some said that such unrealistic fantasies left them cold. I think people just wanted a bit of relief from other types of movies. Everything is murder, detective or rated R, one sophomore said. We needed a break where we could see a good, exciting movie without feeling like we were watching Walt Disney or Bugs Bunnv. K Although some people went so far as to enjoy Star Wars 14 times, others of us were content to cover ourselves and our walls in galactic scenes. The stars in our eyes and on our T-shirts shifted from Farrah Fawcett-Majors to the Star Wars logo, and we .f'P : . - Mziiarilf ,ff 1'- Ir , S' - ' 5 'fig ,'. ' 5 V fs .

There were TV take-offs, magazine article satires and even a Star Wars bar in a local radio station's haunted house on Halloween. The Theme from Star Wars flew its way to the top 10, taking the people who didn't see the movie on an audio trip into other parts of the universe. For those who did see Star Wars, the Theme brought back memories of scenes they saw in the theater with the speed of light. We, the viewers, were the ones who launched Gary Kurtz's fantasy production into the upper stratos- phere of the all time movie box-office records. EXTRA, EXTRA. Star Wars comic books, calendars, paperback series and sketchbooks sell like mad.
