Heavy metal's giant popularity in the 1970s came
to an abrupt halt in the early part of this decade
when bands like Soft Cell and the Human League
scored giant hits in 1982, in what was to be the
opening trickle of the latest flood of British acts.
Synthesizers and danceable music were in and
have held on to remain as one of today's driving
musical forces.
"Dance music is moving like crazy" said KXSS
radio's music director, Dean Lambert.
Lambert said anything with a "discoish" tinge is
going to do well in any market.

Eurythmics are the front-line generals in the second
British Invasion. Again, the music is danceable and
heavily programmed with electronic keyboards.
And with the popularity of such acts, the limelight
has spilled over to include black american artists
like Jackson, Lionel Richie and Shannon. While this
music features a bit more of an accoustic angle, the
upbeat dance quality still is evident.
The latest in the list of "sure things" happens to be
anything that comes as part of a soundtrack pack
age. Thanks in great part to last year's Tlashdance,"
this year's big movie package thus far Is another
dance-oriented story with dance oriented music.
" 'Footloose' is a monster," said Rod Ferguson of
Pickles' Records and Tapes.
Kenny Loggins, Bonnie Tyler and Shalamar lead a
host of other various artists who appear here to
make this record a big chart mover, while "Against
All Odds" and a soon-to-be-released picture titled
"Up the Creek" will be waiting to take over where
Footloose leaves off.
While each of these four genres have a very dis
tinctive place in what we're listening to and buying
these days, it is undeniable that Jackson is the hot
test act to don a pair of shades. It's interesting to
note that this month's phenomenon has covered
each of the above-mentioned catagories.
Jackson incorporated Eddy Van Halen's blistering
licks on "Beat It," has had dance smashes with every
thing on his unstoppable album (30 million sales
and still going) and even won a Grammy last month
for his work on a vinyl adaptation of Steven Spiel
berg's cinematic classic "E.T."
But what's the next "big thing" going to be? Right
now, acts like Cindi Lauper and Tracy Ullman are
making people look back to the girl groups of the
1 960s. But, on the other hand it was about this time
last year that three Long Island boys had us all
excited about DA haircuts and stand up basses. And
we all know how long that lasted.
Bands like the Alarm, U2 and Big Country no
doubt have their own firm grip on the situation with
their brand of hard-driving "message music" with
clones patiently waiting in the wings.
Computers...

"Most college students arent ready to dish out
that kind of money," Hartman said.
When shopping for a computer, Hartman said,
people should know exactly what they want the
computer to do word processing, writing, statis
tics, and other such functions.
Second, Hartman said, people should know the
price range they can spend in so they get the most
for their money. Computer costs can range from
$400 to $10,000, he said.
Third, buyers should look at the company's ser
vice department, whether computers are sent away
for repair work and if they are, who pays shipping
charges. Also, they should ask if the buyer gets a
loaner computer while his is being repaired, he said.
Another consideration is the reliabiltiy of the cor
poration and the computer, Hartman said.
"Find out whether the firm is respectable or just
out to make a quick buck," Hartman said.
Tans...

UVA rays have the longest wavelengths, and there
fore the least penetration. UVA beds are estimated
by the FDA to be 50 to 75 percent safer than the sun,
both Stroup and Schulz said.
All commercial UVB salons in Lincoln have gone
out of business or were bought out by UVA interests,
Stoup said. Some health clubs or spas, however, may
be using UVB booths.
Both Taggart of Great Tan and Schulz of Tanspa
said their beds have "super small" amounts of UVB
rays mixed with UVA rays to bring out the melanin
the tanning agent in the skin. Schulz said the
controlled UVA-UVB mix is the best way to tan, but
said all UVA beds are not alike.
"Some UVA beds have real high amounts of UVB
rays or excessvie amount of UVA rays," Schulz said.
When prospective tanners go in for their first ses
sion, salon managers explain the UVA system.
Together, they discuss tanning ability and agree on a
number of exposure minutes. The manager will
explain the operations of the bed and will either
start the machine or explain the use of a token
operated machine.
Then, the manager will leave the tanner in pri
vacy. Tanners can wear as much or as little clothing
as they wish. Usually music is provided or tanners
can bring cassettes to listen to. Tanners should usu
ally allow 24 hours between sessions so the malenin
replaces itself in the skin.
"The important thing is to be informed so you can
relax and enjoy your tan," Schulz said. "It's the easi-
esi tan you u ever nave.
