Off campus living is enjoyable with odds and ends and friends k Off campus living can be alot of fun, but it can also be alot of work. To begin with, one must gather a group of friends that have the want to make a go of apartment living. The next ob- stacle is finding a place to live and dealing with the world of landlord, rents and people who resent the col- lege population. No matter how hard a student tries, one never knows the type of apartment they will have until they live there. One group of girls this year discovered peep holes in their apartment walls while another house was condemned. Despite these few setbacks, there are some advantages. One gets to live in a more home-like atmosphere that no dorm could sup- ply. Parties can be held without worry. There are no resident assistant ' s (R.A. ' s) around to bust the party and no dorm deans to explain to about the bust. Decorating the apartment is always in- teresting. Odds and ends from every- one ' s homes are used to create inter- esting and comfortable surroundings. With the group of friends and no rules and odds and ends, the year seems easier to handle.

Living with four to six people can be alot of fun especially in those times when a warm spring day rouses one from the house and into a lively game of volleyball with the roommates. Close relationships are formed between friends by living together each day and growing together each day. 20

New Look for campus fashion trends in 1980 Students began to dress up this year more than they did in other years. The faded blue jeans and T-Shirts, although still around, were replaced with de- signer jeans and velour tops. Velour was also popular with the men on campus who chose to wear them with various shades of cords or cotton pleated pants. Blazers and the prepie look were definitely a part of this year. For both men and women, blazers, cords, sweaters, small collared cotton shirts and docksider shoes made up the prepie look. Formal wear consisted of the slit skirt and ankle strapped shoes for the women and suits with small lapels, small collared shirts and the skinny tie for the men. Shoes con- sisted of duckies, clogs with heels and candies. Even the hair changed as braids and combs were used for women as the hair length went short for men. For school use, backpacks for books and down vests were popular. The most popular T-Shirt was Mr. Bill. It was a dress-up year at B.S.C. Three-piece suits are worn by many women. The new addition is the skirt and the heavy use of tweeds for the fall and winter months. Slit skirts are really popular this year for both formal and casual wear, along with the velour top. The prepie look, right, is also popular. On her way to class is Mary Beth Kotanchik with her books in her backpack while she begins her walk up to the campus grounds. Blazers are popular for the college men as shown by Tom Jones, left, and Mark Bujno. Tom also is wearing the small collared cotton shirt with an additional shirt to create a layered look. Mark decided to go prepie today as he wore his blazer and sweater along with his cords. 22
