Will Teens Declare War on Costs? 1 1 7,. fwwy-7 A i i -ft mm If teen-agers decided to march, like the housewives have been doing against rising food costs, what would the younger generation protest? Clothing, haircuts, movies-Is there some subject you would like to hear Atlanta area students sound ojf about? If so, send your topics to Youth Speaks, Lively Living, The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. these are the things some Atlanta high school students mentioned in a random poll conducted by Lively Living this week. "Clothes are so expensive especially woolens," said Diane Cook, senior at Towers High School. "A pretty outfit to wear to school costs $25." Diane says she has made a few of her own clothes, but doesn't see teen-agers turning to the sewing machine as the answer to their clothing needs.

Tim Bozeman, a junior at Towers, says "haircuts seem to go up a quarter every two or NEW SHIRTS George Martin $4 LESS Bewerly Giles DON'T SEE IT Pom mix BUCK FOR MOVIE Johnny Calhoun Youth Speaks I Jmk- I three months" despite the fact that he has the same amount of hair as before. Has he asked his barber about it? Not yet. George Martin, who bought Young Atlanta WBAD to Play Top 40 Tunes three new campus-wear shirts ever the weekend, said the bill came to about $30 pretty expensive, he said. Admitting that they bore a label that many young people associate with status, George said he used to get shirts he "really liked" for $3 or $4. "Clothes have really gone up," he said.

"When there are seven children, like in my family, you can really tell the difference." George is a senior at Avondale High. Beverly Giles of Avondale says is "too much" to pay for a sweater that will be worn to school. She sees as a more acceptable price. "Some of the girls have been talking about how much clothes cost," Beverly said. But they haven't gotten around to organizing any boycotts yet." Pam Hill a junior at Decatur High, and Johnny Calhoun, a WOOLENS Diane Cook admission tickets for pro football games.

"But you can't really say one thing is ridiculously high priced," Johnny summed up. "The cost of almost everything has gone up." NO MORE HAIR Tim Bozeman senior at Decatur, wish the cost of movies could be lowered. "I don't see paying $1.50," Pam said. Johnny thinks a "buck for a movie" is too much. He also wishes there could be student By BEVERLY BLACKWELL Okay, Atlanta.

Get ready. The one thing teens have been clamoring for is arriving on the scene! i ing i about Decem 4 ber 1, a new' radio station, WBAD, will! start broadcast-1 ing at 1570 oni the dial. WBAD i r'n will be billed as Michelangelo Film Offered To Students 1 MOVIES SLIDES EASTMAN PROCESSED pi i a Top 40 station. The offi- cials emphasize Bckwr that only Top 40 pop music will be played no country and western. One of their top disc jockeys will be Johnny Mann, who, until recently, was heard on WFOM.

This is how Johnny explained the format: For the first few months, the output will be relatively small 1,000 watts but by June or July I CE WU A A DAY of 1967, the power should be increased to 5,000. The station will be known as the BAD station. The deejays will be called BAD guys. They will attend record hops all over the Metro Atlanta area. Contests will be part of the arrangement, with prizes such as motorcycles being given.

At last someone has realized the need for more Top 40 stations. Competition will do the others more good than harm. One of the faste i i young stars in the Atlanta area is Gaylen Adams, a tall handsome blue-eyed 23-year-old bachelor who has a strong singing voice. He has a new record out called "Time Is Slipping which is a best-seller over in Cobb County and is played frequently on WFOM. Gaylen's very excited about the success he has had in Marietta.

"I still can't believe it," he said. "I've had so much help. I owe a lot to Johnny (Mann). He has done a lot and is still working with me." There you have it, gang another entry for the Atlanta circle of top entertainers. He's sure to hit the top.

Anybody with that much talent has got to make it. Okay, it's only four more days until Paul Revere and the Raiders invade Atlanta. Their show promises to be the show of the year, with Keith Allison, the Robbs, the Standells, the Guillotines and Ian Whitcomb on the bill with the Raiders. I hope everyone else is as excited as I am about the whole thing. I want to see all of you there.
