Everybody ' s Doing It! larion, although not a trend- setting town, has 5000-plus students from many different places where trends do begin. Be- sides the start of new classes, the fall semester also brings to Clarion the latest trends in movies, music, and clothing. This year in music, concert-goers were keeping a close eye on the comeback trail of Tina Turner. Not only did she impress everyone with her musical talent, she gave a whole new meaning to being over 40. By strutting her stuff on M-TV it was obvious that more than her voice was selling albums. Another woman desperately seeking her way to the top of the charts was Madonna. This belly-bar- ing beauty, adorned in a wedding dress and screaming, Will you mar- ry me? , rocked thousands during her Virgin Tour. If words like dynamic, patriot- ic, and the boy next door come to mind, it ' s obvious you have seen or heard the guy who put New Jer- sey on the map— Bruce Spring- steen I At a time when America needed a boost, Bruce was there to pick everyone up with songs about hometowns and being Born in the U.S.A. He gave us ail what we needed— a shot of pride. If, upon returning to Clarion for the fall semester, you thought you were in sunny California, it wouldn ' t be surprising, because more than half of the student population was decked out in Jams. These brightly colored beach bum shorts brought a little bit of the West Coast to western PA. With the other half of the student population left, it wasn ' t surprising to see evidence of other trends that were big in the nation and on cam- pus. These other trends included Miami Vice, Rombo, The Cosby Show, pro wrestling. Ma- donna bows, and anything with a paisley print on it. So thirty or forty years from now when our grandchildren ask us about all the crazy things we wore, watched, and listened to, our only reply can be, Sit up and straighten the ' trendy ' paisley tie your grandfather got you for Christmas I -Kim Krelder 12 Trends
