Denney Anything Goes In The Bows, banana combs, braids and benders are the stylish in- struments of today ' s hairstyles at Olivet. Left behind is the fresh- man big hair in favor for the natural look. It seems like a lot of girls are letting their hair grow long. Hairstyles are more casual this year, said Tammy Salyer. The casual look isn ' t lost on the campus men either. Short, spiked hair is common — so is the razor- cut on the side of the head. Guys who are more athletic wear their hair short because it ' s mainte- nance free, said Andy Furbee. The collegiate look, a short, feathered haircut parted on the side, looks best on guys, accord- ing to Lonnie Kellogg. I like the clean-cut collegiate look. (But) for self-image, variety is important. Change is good. Rather than spending hours of curling and fluffing, women have found banana combs and French braids an easy way to do their hair and still look attractive. Last spring saw the first of banana combs as women with long hair pulled back their locks into the clip-on combs. Since then they have gained in popularity, espe- cially in warm or wet weather. Bows also became popular, as they added to both hair styles and clothing outfits. Bows came in all designs. Some were worn with casual outfits and others added a touch of style to an al- ready dressy outfit. To add body (to our hair) some of us use hair benders, or get a body wave perm. For those times when we feel a little on the wild side, we use the crimping iron which is a lot of fun and gives hair a really funky look, said Tanya Salyer. The natural look has been enhanced by the use of benders or body waves for an easy way to style. The crimping irons are prob- ably the newest fashion on the campus. Jane Matlock said, There are all kinds of hairstyles. I ' m old enough that I ' ve seen so many hairstyles, but you see eve- rything here: long and curly, long and straight, short and bobbed. Crimped hair, though is new to me. I actually didn ' t know that people could do that to their hair. The fashion magazines have acclaimed the return of long hair as the latest style, and that ' s been seen among Olivet women. Candace Leitner noted, I see more straight hair with styled bangs. It ' s more of a freer look in the hairstyles now. Certainly all the fashionable hair pieces (such as banana combs, bows and braids) are designed for longer hair. Whether short or long, straight or crimped, Brigette DeMink ' s statement holds true for this year ' s Olivet hairstyles as well as those in past years, There is def- inite room for creativity.

Giddy with excite- ment, the Olivetians plan their entire evening full of food and entertainment. To the student from a relatively small town, Chicago offers brand-new experiences, and even to the student born in a large city it constantly makes new impressions. Senior Doug Stutzman claims, It still fasci- nates me after four years, be- cause every time I go I see some- thing different. Although the majority of trips to Chicago are taken on impulse, planned events such as play per- formances or jazz festivals offer high quality entertainmant. Museums and learning centers provide students with a variety of exhibits from art to laser shows. But, of course, what is Chicago without food? The choices range from cheese french fries at Ed Debevec ' s to stir-fried vegetables at The Pea Pod. Junior Tammy Salyer confessed, I enjoy going to Ed Debevec ' s, The Hamburger Hamlet, and I always stop at Mrs. Field ' s for a delicious milk- chocolate chip cookie without nuts. The specialty snack shops on Michigan Avenue and Rush Street are the stopping places for most students. Said Anne Reams of one of her favorite snack shops, I never forget to stop at Garrett ' s. I can smell that pop- corn a block away. Restuarants like Ed Debevec ' s or Gino ' s offer a unique atmo- sphere in addition to their novelty foods. At Ed Debevec ' s students are snapped at by obnoxious waitresses, while at Gino ' s they carve their names in walls and tables. After several visits, these novelties become tradition. Chicago certainly is not just food and museums, for the peo- ple inside the car and the ones walking by on the street. Tammy Salyer said, We always walk up and down Rush Street and stare at all of the strange people. We once sang with a beggar and got him more money. Most of the time one ' s compan- ions act just as strangely as the people on the street. Ethan Reedy said he went to Chicago . . . because no one knows you, so you can act as crazy as pos- sible. A certain feeling of inde- pendence and freedom accom- panies students to the city, sometimes prompting slightly er- ratic behavior. The memories of each trip last at least until the next weekend. For the lure of Chicago ' s food and fast-paced entertainment more than likely turn the student ' s weekend escape into a year long ritual. By Shelly Comstock TEXTURE 23
