More students own their own cars than in days past, and parking prob- lems have increased with the enrollment. Although the college no longer trains the Women ' s Army Corps, it does support a military science program. Last year popular music ranged from v Oh, What A Feeling, to Michael Jackson ' s Thriller album or Yes ' s Owner of a Lonely Heart. Popular movies included Terms of Endearment, The Big Chill, Yentyl and Scarface. The football team re-won Chief Caddo when they defeated North- western University. The Chief stood in the Student Development Office in the UC for the first time since 1977. Nacogdoches is no longer a dry town and has many clubs on North Street. Button-down Oxford shirts cost approximately $25 and were a fashion must. Flashdance fashion was also popular, typified by off-the- shoulder sweat shirts. Other fashion trends included mini skirts and walking shorts. Gasoline prices dropped in Decem- ber to below a dollar a gallon. In October, a Korean airliner was shot down by Russians who claimed the airship had invaded Soviet air- space and had b een warned before shots were fired. Following the attack, a surge of American patriotism swept the country in reaction to the inci- dent. A bombing of the senate chamber in the U.S. Capitol led to the con- struction of permanent concrete barricades at the White House and the State Department. The Battleship New Jersey, veteran of World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, fired for the first time against positions in Lebanon on December 14. The Grenada invasion marked the first time since 1917 that an entrenched Communist country had been successfully overthrown. The year 1983 brought computers into American homes in record numbers and the worst recession in history came to an end. The political races began with former astronaut John Glenn, former vice president Walter Mondale and the Rev. Jesse Jackson seeking the Democratic nomination. President Ronald Reagan announced that he would run for re- election. President Reagan was named pholo by lim Stotts as Time ' s Man of the Year along with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov.
