From the halls of S.H.Swe bring to you the music that our students groove to. KISS takes the spotlight in first place, followed.closely by PETER FRAMPTON in second, and then by AEROSMITH. Some other groups that ranked lower in the charts are THE BEACH BOYS, BEATLES, BLUE OYSTER CULT, BREAD, LED ZEPPLIN, THIN LIZZY, and URIAH HEEP.

OF IT ALL MflEllTAL AflTICS Screaming down Main Street and coming to a sudden stop, five people scatter out of the four doors of a late-model car. One of the insanes immediately runs around the car and enters from the door from which he came; meanwhi le, a cohort sera mb les over the roof and another crawls snake like through all four opened windows.

V mu tic hies Quarter-pounder-with-cheese , whoppers , Kentucky-fried-chick- en , pizza, or even the infamous double-cheese-Whamo are foods we commonly dine on before or after our endeavors at the stoplight, Avery's, or the bowling alley. What better way to start the evening than with a gas- guzzling ride to MacArthur Rd. for a delicious snack of some of that 100% USDA government-inspected ,a I l-beef, half-cooked hamburger, Or maybe your taste prefers one of those com- binations of the most tender, choicest, batter-dipped, grade A, veiny chicken withthat crispy crunchonly the Colonel can make, thank God!

Disco, the way of expressing one- self through the movements of the bump and the hustle , is well liked by young and old. For instance, many love to get down and shake their booties with K.C. and the SUNSHINE BAND, another student favorite group. Then there's the all time favorite, party music. Think of the great sounds which the groups BOSTON and AEROSMITH produce while You're partying and starting to feel good. If you can fit yourself into any of these situations, you're really in tune with what's happening in today's music scene. ★
