A series of student surveys and interviews regarding the world of entertainment were conducted in the fall. Varied opinions were ex- pressed and several favorites emerged. Teenagers who experience stress and frustration said they often seek an outlet. Television and movies were described as an escape by sophomore jennifer Donnelly. Similarly, music provided a means of getting away from it all ac- cording to junior Melisa Conner. Apparently, students spelled relief: ''E-N-T-E-R-T-A-I-N-M-E-N-T. Mood alteration was another outcome of entertainment. Fresh- man, Billy Elmore, claimed that, it Cmusicb is enjoyable and very relax- ing. It keeps me from going crazy! attested junior Scott Beahrs. Per- haps the most unique response came from senior Ricky Petty, who suggested that he listened to music because, it's too hard to drive and watch T.V. In the years to come, when the events of 1985 become faded memories and today's sight and sound favorites are mentioned only on Trivial Pursuit cards, students' responses will serve as a reminder of what was in entertainment.- Harold Brian

Almost all students use fashion to advertise their individuality. When that expression empties wallets, however, students think twice about buying nything that meets the eye Guess jeans and Gucci bags, walking shorts and, of course, the ever-popular .IAMS-our clothing represents our lifestyle, and dress- ing fashionably is a goal of most students. Everywhere around you the sub- tle hints of fashion pressure are seen, Vuarnet sunglasses come complete with three different col- ors of strings, while alligators and horses still stampede across the bo- dies of many students. Does dress- ing with the times have a deeper implication? Sophomore, Susan Good, stated that, They ffashionsj contribute a sense of belonging, a student's lifes- tyle adapts to whatever is in fash- ion. As with any outstanding facet of the student lifestyle, the way a person dresses tells a great deal about their personality. Are they shy in button-down Polo's and sweater vests or adventurous in long flourescent sweatshirts com- plete with leather belts? The fashions of today's world al- low more freedom than ever before in history. The many different styles of the modern wardrobes allow a more relaxed feeling-there is something for everyone. But some- times clothes can obscure a per- son's true self, because it is com- forting to look basically like those around you. Also, there comes a time when a student must decide if a pair of Guess jeans are really worth the six- ty dollars paid for them. Have you ever been tempted to remove an alligator from a pair of five dollar Izod socks and attach it to your favorite no-name brand shirt? With Gucci bags running an aver- age of seventy-five dollars, a stu- dent finds her funds depleted very quickly. In the quest for the title of best- dressed a person may find the road littered with more dollars than can be considered even remotely practi- cal. lndividuality does not have to be bought with money, nor does looking nice necessarily have to empty your patents' pocketbooks. Whatever your wardrobe, you need only to open your closet to find the best expression of your true feelings, emotions, and moods.-Caro! Caron Waterproof Swatches are a popular acces- sory for many students. Marc Highland models a pair of colorful iams, a favorite item in any guy's wardrobe. Fafhion 15
