Do your friends dictate to you what’s in, what’s out, what's hot. what’s not? Fads enter our lives, whether we are trying to mock someone else or implant our own style. Some of the most note worthy fads this year were, Louie Vuitton hats and clutch bags, friendship bracelets, col- lege sweatshirts, and Guess jeans. Junior.

In the past, we found our- selves falling into certain fads and finding it very difficult to climb out. Even though her mother disagreed, senior, Shelean Williams confided, “When everyone started getting two or more earrings in one ear. I decided 1 had to as well.” Eddie Baker, a junior, re- plied. ”1 fell into the fad of carrying a Louie Vuitton handbag, with the hat to match.

The main question will be did fads control us? Sonya Martin LEADING THE PACK, are three of the hottest styles in shoes this sea- son— Troops. British Knights, and Bass Deck shoes.
