           Soaps  Prove



           to  be  Quite



           Entertaining












                  -Marci  Levine-

                Setting a  VCR  to  record  a  favorite
         soap  opera  was  very  popular  among  many  stu- :
         dents .  Whether  it  was  Days  of Our  Lives  orl
         Young  and  the  Restless,  students  made  time  for
         their  soap  operas.   -
                There were many  reasons  students
         watched  soap  operas.  Librarian  Betty  Sample
         watched  soap  operas  because"there  were  char-
         acters  that  were  wonderful  to  hate!"  Junior
         Jeny  Mitchell  watched  it  because"I  just  loved,
         the  people,  and  I got so involved  with  the  plots." :
         "It seemed  to  me,  more  realistic  than  others.  Be-
         lieve  me,  I've watched  many ,"  said  Sophomore
         Jill  Hoover.
                Some  students,  on  the  other  hand,  dis-
         liked  soap operas.  Senoir Randy  Mollner
         avoided  soaps  because,  "it is a waste  of valuable
         vidoe  tape!"  Another  student,  Junior  Laminda
         Bush  disliked  soaps  because  "I  didn't  under-
         stand  why  anyone  would  want  to  spend  their
         afternoon  watching  a bunch  a of made  up  prob-
         lems."
              Many  people  that  couldn't  get  to  a  T.V.
         would  resort  to  other  resources.  Some  students
         went  go to  their  local  supermarkets  and  checker
         out  Soap  Opera  Digest.   Others  called  the  toll
         free  soap  opera  hotline .  The  last  resort  would
         be  to  set  a  VCR.   If  it  wasn't  for  all  of these
         resources,  many  students  were  stuck  in  reality .
              Whether watching T.V.  or relying on
         other  resourses,  students  made  sure  to  keep  up
         with  their  soap  operas  somehow.
