New Look for campus fashion trends in 1980 Students began to dress up this year more than they did in other years. The faded blue jeans and T-Shirts, although still around, were replaced with de- signer jeans and velour tops. Velour was also popular with the men on campus who chose to wear them with various shades of cords or cotton pleated pants. Blazers and the prepie look were definitely a part of this year. For both men and women, blazers, cords, sweaters, small collared cotton shirts and docksider shoes made up the prepie look. Formal wear consisted of the slit skirt and ankle strapped shoes for the women and suits with small lapels, small collared shirts and the skinny tie for the men. Shoes con- sisted of duckies, clogs with heels and candies. Even the hair changed as braids and combs were used for women as the hair length went short for men. For school use, backpacks for books and down vests were popular. The most popular T-Shirt was Mr. Bill. It was a dress-up year at B.S.C. Three-piece suits are worn by many women. The new addition is the skirt and the heavy use of tweeds for the fall and winter months. Slit skirts are really popular this year for both formal and casual wear, along with the velour top. The prepie look, right, is also popular. On her way to class is Mary Beth Kotanchik with her books in her backpack while she begins her walk up to the campus grounds.

Luzerne Hall residents are hanging their banner expressing their feelings about the high cost of tuition In Pennsylvania. Class boycott and demonstration fight high cost of college tuition On October 24, students rallied in a demonstration against higher tuition for the spring semester. The protest was sponsored by C. A. S. (Commonwealth Association of Students) who urged, not forced, students to boycott their classes. According to C. A. S., the empty classroom symbolized three different events. First, the empty seats refered to students who will no longer be able to attend college due to rising costs. Secondly, no professor symbolized the personnel either retrenched or facing that fate. Finally, an empty classroom showed a dim picture of the possible deterioration of higher education. The day started out briskly; the picketers outside the classrooms walked, jumped, and stamped their feet to keep warm. They appeared at the classroom buildings at 7:45 a. m. Around 10 a. m. a large crowd gathered outside the library to chant and picket to the music of WBSC. A few of the members of the marching band also joined the demonstration and led the throngs in a grand march around the campus and then up to the administration building to show the administrators how the students felt. A small group of demonstrators went inside the dorms to get the rest of the students out of their beds. Later that afternoon approximately 1,500 students turned out to listen to faculty and officials state their feelings towards the boycott and the protest. Students were urged to phone into Harrlsburg and voice their opinions about tuition as a prelude to the actual demonstration on the 24th. 24
