by Anna Marie Sumner ashion simply defines a person's style of dress and general appearance. A fad is a period of time in which a particular style of clothing is hot in fashion. In actuality, there is no one way to define it nor one way to do it. Yet fashion, year in and year out, can define almost anyone’s personality and lifestyle. Main emphasis for the year however, can be narrowed down to fashion from the waist down. With America’s old standard, the blue jean, providing fashion’s building block, ev- ery college student was sure to have more than one pair in his or her closet. The ’85-’86 school year at BCC showed style with their blue jeans. The fall introduced stirrup pants with oversized paisly shirts. The jewelry was outrageous — anything that 16 Campus Life David Shaffer dangled and sparkled and dressed up the outfit. Winter unloaded a more conservative bundled up look Long coats that skimmed the ground with sleeves rolled u and a bright scarf around the neck. Paisly styled clothes final went out of style in mid-winter. Spring appeared an launched new fashions. Everyone peeled off the winte clothes. Now the big bermuda shorts with oversized shir and T-shirts roamed the campus. So many colors, so mar styles, so much fun it brought spring fever madness! Who’s to say what fashion will be year to year. As for d fining fashion, well, there’s no one way to do it. But you c bet it will continue to define the times and the people wt wear it.

Changing of the Times Out with the old In with the new by Nikki Hambalek ounds of hammers, drills, and other tools became a part of daily life this year. The Applied Technology Build- ing was a slow but sure project with a tentative opening time of Fall 1986. The addition to the Science building was on schedule with some faculty moving into their new offices by the second semester. Although most seniors will never use the new additions, everyone felt the im- pact. Parking was often a long drawn out experience but with the construction the fun was increased. Only a small portion was actually affected but when you were in a hurry it seemed like the construction was everywhere. It took a couple of weeks before we realized which row in parking Lot O had the fenced in section for the construction workers. Still you wanted to hit sor .ething or someone when you had to tnake the U-turn and then saw the spot you were eyeing in the next row filled by the guy who didn’t fol- low you down the row of NO RETURN. Lot O gained some parking spaces ). J. Young Jr 18 Campus Life when the Y-Building was demolished. The issue was highly controversial with several faculty members mounting a campaign to try and save the building. It was one of the two buildings remaining from a coun- ty-run poor farm and was closed while the 16 faculty members who had offices there were moved elsewhere. Eventually the site will be the home to a new office building. County Officials stated the building was structurally unsound. Ironically, a local ar- chitect that represented the protesting faculty members, said he believed the building was structurally sound. College President, Donald W. Beattie, said he had sympathy for the groups’ goals. He further stated, ‘I’m sensitive to those buildings that ought to be saved. But, based on the importance of the building, | didn’t have the ability to save it.” Changing faces of the campus are evident all over. Let’s celebrate the 40th Anniversary in the style by remembering the good times and good places. J. J.
