UI C. 0 -D 0 :1 'D o L I1 0 um TQ TV creativity charges Lamm Lotsa Watts sounds like a pret- ty catchy business in itself: but when you learn that Lotsa Watts is owned and operated solely by sophomore john Lamm, the idea becomes really fascinating. Lotsa Watts is a video produc- tion company. People can hire me to put anything they want on video tape, explained Lamm. If you are a tennis player and you are having trouble with your serve, you could hire me to tape you while you play. Then you could watch the tape and find out what you are doing wrong. Lamm started his venture at the age of nine with a really bad video deck that shot only black and white and had to be repaired daily. Now he uses a professional quality color por- tapac to film his tapes. What I'd really like to do is get together a group of people, much like Monty Python, people who can film, act, and con- tribute creative ideas for films, Lamm commented. He has tried his hand at several short films, one of which was very similar to AIRPLANE. I had 100 feet of film already shot, and I swear that some producer infiltrated my bedroom while I slept and stole the script. The next show I saw was AIRPLANE, and there was my film. 1. Lamm practices his video techniques in his Lotsa Watts office at home. 2. Finding new ways to create and tape films is a main part of his businesslhobby. 3. Lamm's business logo was designed by Chris Watson, '80, who also designed the '81 Tokay cover. . . R, U, 'Z f 4 7 W W f ff f W f f -W , ff hi ff 1 ' fda J fit... , f 1 tw f f , I 1 5 NT

But he finished high school in Turkey injune of 1980. Lessons are somewhat easier here than at home, Ozden related. There I took 12 classes each year for the last three years. At Tokay you can choose what classes you wish. At home, everyone takes 1 1 to 14 required classes a year. I took biology, chemistry, religion, literature, physics, history, and math, which consisted of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, etc., all in one year. His home town of Lise has a midnight curfew. He often saw different political groups fighting on and off campus. On Sept. 12 a military government took over. Since then, many things must have changed for his family. He will have to await his return to find out how. 1. Ozden gets detailed help from his Algebra Il teacher, Tony Delaplain. 2. When not studying, Ozden likes to relax with a good book on campus or at home. K 'ii My it 1,1 f Y . its :Kia i s Q., QM iq: if , Y 'y F 2
