lIt 55 oi lbeaiclhizgoiiirngi., tM:WQ-atcllriiilriig., When the recession put a damper on spending money, we had to find something to do that didn't cost an arm and a leg. It didn't take long to coun- teract those blows to our freedom. Naturally, if the sun was shining, we had our first logical haven from boredom. The beach was the cheapest way to devour a hot day sur- fing, sleeping, and Suntanning. But even Florida doesn't stay the sun worshippers' heaven forever. By October it was time to start wear- ing shoes again and find other ways to beat boredom. The shortage of youth facilities made those few places of recreation even more popular. The late skate at the skating rink was a good way to spend the night while some preferred trying to win game after game of pinball. And there was another way we spent more and more time . . . watching television. Cinema Plus was a revolu- tionary idea in television which of- fered unedited movies such as The Exorcist, Blazing Sadd1es, and The Return of the Pink Panther for just an extra 58.00 a month. TV not only brought us fresh entertainment but happenings in the real world. The Olympics was one of the most watched and talked-about programs. Black African nations boycotted the games, Taiwan withdrew because Canada refused to accept it under the name of Republic of China, and the Soviet Union, East Germany, and the United States won the most gold medals. Nadia Comaneche, Rumanian gymnast, won the first perfect scores ever awarded in Olympic competition. So while the air was thick with recession and a little perfection, we became even more fun-loving and free-spirited. We knew things would soon be looking up.
