Threads with Pizzazz Where did you buy that blouse? ”1 found it at the local thrift store. It's a great place to find the look of today's fashion. As unlikely as that may sound with the 1985 fashion, it was not unusual to find clothing carried over from past generations. Clothes from preppy to punk, and classy to casual, hit the fash- ion scene on campus. It was as common to see tennis shoes in the halls as it was galoshes. The season was full of color, huge sweaters, and laces. New labels such as Forenza, Guess, and Esprit influenced students as we! as the high prices. Styles were also inspired by local stores such as Judy's, Contempo, and other Fies- ta Mall shops. The hottest items around were bracelets made of silver, crystal and rubber accessories, big belts, and large dangling earrings. Laces and ribbons also added the extra touch to the crtc blunt haircut. Buckled boots, lace-up sandals, and the K-Swiss sport shoe all dominated the foot craze. Everywhere you walked on campus, you saw someone with his or her own unique style. Fashion was the best way for someone to express their identity. Design by Debi Ferguson. Photos by Karen Herbaugh and Andy Phelps.

Other popular places included a variety of fast food restaurants such as Burger King, Carl's Jr., Jack-h-the-Box, and McDonald's. While some fiked spending the evening out, others elected to stay home. Some popular forms of home entertainment were a mu- sic video station, MTV, home computers, cable television, and the new exciting game. Trivial Pur- suit.

Other editions available were the Baby Boomers Edition and the Silver Screen Edi- tion. Another favorite pastime was listening to the radio or stereo. Several different types of music were enjoyed by the students, with Van Halen, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Prince being on top of the music charts this year.
