Media Plays Major Role In Lives Of South Students What does the average South student do in his spare time? Chances are the Mass Media plays a major role in his life. Most students probably spend several hours each week watching TV, listening to records, at the movies, or reading a good book. In television, perhaps the most popular of the Mass Media , 1975-76 saw the rise of numerous detective-police shows and situation comedies, many of which collapsed after a few episodes. Some of the popular ones, at least among South students, were Happy Days , Welcome Back Kotter , Starsky and Hutch , and the soap opera spoof, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman . In books, the big thing seemed to be murder and mayhem. Among the bestsellers at South were The Family , Helter Skelter , and of course Jaws . One of the most expensive hobbies of South students, and high school age students all over the country, is record collecting. In 1975 and 1976 some of the big recording artists were The Stones , Led Zep , Chicago , Elton John , Olivia Newton John , and John Denver . First released in 1975, the biggest box office hit of movie history continued to play into 1976. This of course was Jaws , the big fish movie that set records in earnings that many said will never be broken. BY PETER BENCH LEY 10

Born To Run In the day we swear our love on the streets Of a runaway American dream At night we ride the mansions of glory In suicide machines The highway's jamed with broken heros On a last chance power drive Everybody's out on the road tonight But there's no place left to hide Together girl we can live with the sadness I'll love you with all the madness in my soul One day girl, I don't know when We're gonna get to that place Where we really want to go And we'll walk in the sun Until then Tramps like us, baby we were born to run.
