Stylin ' Style: it ' s been defined and redefined over the years. What used to be out is now in, and what once was in is now out. Style is constantly chang- ing with the times. The way people dress, talk and act are all reflections of style. The sixties and seventies were perfect examples of this. During a time period of free love and unrest, people expressed themselves through bright tie-dyed colors. It was not only through their clothes that style could be seen, but through their hair, music and speech as well. Things have changed a lot since the sixties. Jeans have changed from tight bell-bot- toms, to loose-fitting Levi ' s. When asked what could be found in her closet, senior Jen- nifer Davide said, Lots of sweaters, lots of jeans. Students have many perspectives about style. Even though everyone tries to have their own style, many people still dress like one another. Instead of creating their own looks, many times people wind up copying ev- erybody else ' s ways of dressing, said freshman Chrystal Jones. I think of kha- kis and collared shirts, for guys at least, said freshman Joelle Leader. Freshman Kevin Grobe had a different take on style. It is the pattern you develop that is unique to you, he said. In everything you do, its shape is affected in a different form. Without you it would be one-sided, just another name and face. One group has made a name for itself in terms of style on campus. The Breakdancing Club was created in the spring of 1997. Its member- ship grew to over 100 members within a year as the breakdancing fever was caught by students. Club members strutted their stuff in front of au- diences at Grafcon-Stovall and performed on the commons. 28 Student Life Molewski
