A Profile In Style Students Prove Ready for the new Trends Ithough attending college is often synonymous with tight sched- ules and even tighter budgets, a stroll around campus makes it clear that students find plenty of time and money to keep themselves decked from head to toe in the latest attire. Governor ' s Square Mall, located on Apalachee Parkway, is a favorite haunt among the fashion conscious. A variety of stores cater to the ever changing needs of Tallahassee ' s university students. Ormond ' s, a store specializing in the clothing needs of young women, is one of the top contenders in bringing trendy threads to the pub- lic. Ormond ' s is noted for its afford- able prices and wide selection of quality merchandise. Some of their best-selling items this season are brand-name jeans and vests in sol- ids and prints. Benetton, a store that caters to both male and female clientele, takes a more selective approach to fashion. The store has slightly higher prices, but offers clothes with a distinct international flair. Vivid col- ors like hot pink and bright red are staples on Benetton ' s shelves, while the more subdued pastels take a back seat. Other shops that students inhabit frequently are Chess King, The Gap, The Body Shop, and Stuarts. Ac- cording to Dave Hunter, a senior and a computer science major, The Gap is the leading store in the city. They have hig h quality clothes and excellent sale items. Their clothes At The Limited, Sofia Mercado shops for bargains from the new fall merchandise Suzanne McNeill are very versatile and can be mixed and matched, he said. When asked to name their favorite jean, a poll taken of ten students revealed that six of ten opted for the legendary levis, available in all sizes at The Gap. Athletic shoes, a must for the physically active, are also ranked according to favorites. The same poll showed that Reebok reigns supreme, with Nike a close second, and LA. Gear and Lotto rounding out third place. Champs, a Tallahassee sports store specializ- ing in athletic shoes, sells daily to students who desire the latest in foot fashion. Madueno Jaussem, a sopho- more engineering major, picked Nike as his top choice in sneak- ers. He says, Nike is the best brand because it is both fash- ionable and high in quality. To complete the collegiate look, many students don sun- glasses that serve not only to pro- tect their eyes from the Florida sun but make a bold fashion statement as well. Oakleys, Blades, Frogskins, Cazals, and Raybans are some brands seen perched on the noses of stylish students. Daphne Turner, a sen- ior communications major, pre- fers Cazal sunglasses for the sim- ple reason that They (Cazals) are very sophisticated. The price for being fashionable, how- ever, is quite steep. The cost of a pair of Raybans begins at $35.00. So, how do collegians prime their pocketbooks for purchases? According to mall merchants, most pay by check or credit card, while cash is the exception. As for the plastic of choice, Visa wins hands down. Although the sky is the limit concerning student attire, some take a more laid back approach. According to L.A. Crim, a junior, the philosophy of fashion is quite simple: Throw on a pair of shorts and an FSU t-shirt, and you ' re ready to go! — Tara McArthur 16 Student Life

Danny Negis gets assistance from Rick Patillo Mark Rebecca Grimison does a set of cross-over crunch- Weidler es. Suzanne McNeill Building the Student Body Students Make Good health and Firm Physiques Top Priority I he stereotypical college student inks beer, eats junk food, lays on the )uch all day long, and gains an inev- ible fifteen pounds. However, the trend i campus these days is a preoccupation ith fitness, weight, and general appear- ice. Students have become part of the itionwide fitness craze! With fitness as a priority on many stu- snt ' s self-improvement lists, enrollment : gyms near campus is at an all time gh. Dannitte Mays, co-owner of Gold ' s ym, comments, In the mid-seventies, I in remember there being only one gym town other than Tully. It ' s amazing how any students today are health con- gous and working out on a regular ba- s. Recognizing that the majority of their ientele is students, many gyms cater to tern by offering semester specials, hich allow for a health club membership i a student ' s budget. Is everybody having fun?! yells the ' eless and ever-enthusiastic aerobics in- :ructor to the nearly 60 girls, packed into te mirrored room like sardines. Nodding exhaustedly and forcing smiles, the girls wipe the sweat from their brows and con- tinue on with their leg lifts, determined to shed that Freshman 15 by spring break. Aerobic classes are a favorite, and al- most everyone can find one to suit their needs, with classes ranging in difficulty from Body Conditioning for beginners to High Intensity for the more advanced aerobiciser. Clad in tight Danskins and leotards, the girls dance to the latest mu- sic, burn 300 calories and hour and ac- tually have fun while they ' re keeping in shape. Senior Tracey Gompf says, I ' ve Scott Tucker lifts weights at Westwood Fitness. Mark Weidler been doing aerobics since I was a fresh- man. It keeps me in shape, helps to re- lieve stress, and it ' s a lot of fun! Much of the male student body is striv- ing to banish their beer bellies and attain the ideal physique. Motivated by the the- ory, No pain, No gain, they push their muscles beyond what they are willing to endure. Richard Perrin, who gets his work out at Tully Gym (where use of facilities is free of charge to students), says, Working out makes me feel more con- fident and less stressed out. If pressures are getting to me, going to the gym is a great way to vent my frustrations. The gym is not the only place where students can be seen in their efforts to get fit. Walking, running and cycling are also very popular and effective activities used to keep the student body in shape. With all of the exercise efforts that are going on around campus, healthy is clearly the concensus and the slothy student stereotype is surely out of style. — Suzanne McNeill Fitness €p
