STACY ROBERTS AND BRAD TATE have a style that goes hand-in-hand: denim and leather. Photo by Joe Mahoney Denim and leather give fashion a natural look Many coeds desire comfort and wear SUNGLASSES ALWAYS MAKE a personal statement. Chris Chavez demonstrates their versatility. Photo by Karen Fehlberg Although department stores like Jos- lins, May D F, Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue are miles away, students still pursue a fashion statement that represents them, consciously or not. 1988 showed fashion dictated by the desire for comfort and wear. Clothes be- came versatile and much more function- al for the college coed. This was a welcomed change for those pinching pennies to pay for an education. The year ' s look was natural and sim- welcomed change for those pinching pennies to pay for an education. The year ' s look was natural and sim- ple, and fashion shined through from hair to underwear. Hair styles stayed short for men and spiral perms and bobs were the look for women. Denim and leather items were popu- lar. The old worn look of jeans was the upbeat style. However, denim was made to look this way not by actual wear and tear, but by the stone-washed, acid-bleached or patched effect. Some fashion-conscious students slashed holes in the knees and patched the rumps of brand new $45 pants just to keep up with the times. The gals skirts were one of two ex- tremes: short and tight or long and full. Leather and denim were again popular for all skirts, especially miniskirts. Tops ranged from oversized T-shirts with the minis to blouses with dressier bottoms. Rugby shirts with wide bands and multiple colors were perfect for work or play. Men of all ages sported the heavy shirts and often accented them with tur- tle necks, polo shirts or scarves. Big. comfortable, heavy sweaters were worn by both sexes. The popular design was bold and colorful, and showed the personality of the owner. Leather bomber jackets came about with the movie Top Gun ' ' and con- tinued with their popularity. Denim Leather bomber jackets came about with the movie Top Gun and con- tinued with their popularity. Denim jackets were also available in the old look and were worn equally by males and females. No outfit was complete without acces- sories. Shoes complemented every outfit in a different way. Boots of all styles and colors were worn with dresses, skirts or jeans. Wide leather belts, large watches, bright scarves, gaudy earrings and hats were some of the essentials to any wom- an ' s wardrobe. Ties in a large range of colors and patterns accented the dress shirts of a man ' s business suit. Eyeglasses and sunglasses gained respect as an accessory also. The studi- ous look was nothing to be ashamed of. Vaurnet and Ray Ban sunglasses did the job of blocking out UV light while ad- ding the finished look to any outfit. Shen Zapp 14 Fashions

Photo by Chris Revburn Gyms fill with those on a quest for a great body Gym membership is a p art of tuition AN INDOOR TRACK offers runners like Betty Carpenter a comfortable jogging atmosphere even when the weather outside is cold and snowy Photo by Chris Reybum As the glamour of being fit and trim surrounded us. we looked at ourselves and thought. I don ' t think I could do one push-up. We tightened out belts and went to work out. Fear chewed at our stomachs as we put on the sweats and wondered if we would make a fool of ourselves. We staggered through the first workout and haltingly made the third. About seven down the line we wondered if it did any good, but we were paid up for thirty and so.... Twenty-fourth workout, and the routine is down! We can look at the beginners and smirk, as they drop the weight on their foot. So now that we ' ve been at it for a few years, what does UW offer us in our quest for lean bodies? The full-time student has a member- ship at Half-Acre Gym and Corbett P.E. Building. The membership is in- cluded in the S778 Wyoming residents pay in tuition and S2.442 dollars paid by out-of-state students. During the aca- demic year the full-time student has ac- cess to a locker, shower and towel exchange. The student can participate during open recreation times. These posted times indicate when different rooms in the facilities are available for use by the student with their Vali-Dine. Activities available at the facilities in- clude basketball, volleyball, raquetball. jogging, indoor tennis, weight training and swimming. Fitness classes are avail- able for students and faculty desiring a more direct course of exercise, but a small fee is required. All this informa- tion can be obtained in monthly bulle- tins published by the Physical Education Department. Half-Acre Gym runs smoothly under Director Donna Earley. She takes charge over the staff and the various programs. Part of the staff is comprised of work- study students and graduate students. The rest of the staff is hired on the basis of experience. All programs are carefully supervised so injuries are less likely. The work-study students keep records of how many people use the facility and what they do there. This information is then used to. keep the program up-to- date with the wants and needs of the students, faculty and staff. Half-Acre Gym has an average of 1,200 people who use the facility each day. The building is not only structured for many activities, but it houses both the R.O.T.C. and the Dance Departments. Students who use the facility are often diligent in their endeavors to stay fit. All age groups on campus are represented at the gym. Adeptness at physical activi- ty is also a consideration. The In- tramural Program allows participants at all levels of ability to compete in or- ganized sports as a way of becoming a healthier student. Ms. Earley felt the students over twenty were often more active and kept up with their routines. Half- Acre Gym is open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., from Monday to Friday. Ms. Earley said. And it caters to the stu- dents first and foremost. Some students prefer health which is gained in more personal ways. Depend- ing on the weather, bicycling is an im- portant part of many programs. The geography around Laramie allows the rider to choose paths which are geared to their level. Running is also popular. Of course, there are many who feel the walk to the Classroom Building is the only exercise anyone could ever need. Diane Buck 16AVorking Out
