THE BATTALION
COVER
Drive-ins have declined in popularity since
the mid-1950s, when there were over 4,000
in the country. The reasons range from poor
sound to weather to the labeling of many
drive-ins as “scummy” by both parents and
young people. For more insight into the
plight of this once popular form of
entertainment, see page 4.
