Wear The Threads Are Skirt lengths as economic indicators? Maybe so. In the 60s, the economy was in pretty good shape and skirt lengths rocketed upward to the micro mini. As the economy slowed, hemlines plummeted to midi's and maxi's of the mid-70’s. Well, if students are an indicator for this brand of clothing economics, it would be hard to establish any concrete theories today. Fashion here is an array of opposites. Skirts are up and down. A line or western wide. Shirts are loose and blousy or high-necked and fitted. Variety is the word for college fashion. With the freshman class, in swept a new individuality. They are not to be pinned down. One day a short skirt with bold-colored blouse, the next day a ruffly western look with boots. Monica Hammond. a freshman, puts it. I buy what I like. As one sophomore adds. Anything goes with the freshmen. The word on short skirts, at this point, is that they won’t go to the dizzying heights of the 60's. Most hemlines run just above the knee. And women are quick to admit they're not for everyone all the time. It takes the right figure and the right temperature. I like mini's in the spring, admits one wearer, but it's too cold in the winter. And of course, there is always prep. This style has turned into a real institution. If the word for the freshman class is individuality, the word for prep is conformity. Izods. button downs, loafers and cheenos are classics that may never die. One suit in a classic style will last for years. Herringbone. as senior Margaret Platt stated, will never fade away. But whether it's western, vogue, prep or your favorite ratty blue jeans, it's all a matter of individual style. I'm going to be me” says sophomore Belle Raines. And that means looking my best in conservative clothes or vogue fashion or the western look. You have to be yourself no matter what.

Love it or Leave it It is really home away from home? Students are not in total agreement on the subject of dorm life. The dorm (derived from the Latin dormir = to sleep) is not only a place to put one’s head to the pillow as the root suggests, but is also a hub of activity involving all aspects of student life. Snoozing, studying, socializing, and snacking are but a few of the activities a resident student must juggle in the dorms. As a result of all the chaos, there emerges a split opinion on the value of dorm life. On one side of the debate is Clare Folio, a senior, who states. I love it! We’ll never have another chance to live in this kind of situation with so many good friends so close.” Supporting this view are the many activities found on the halls (parties, “jam sessions.” co-rec teams), the peer support of friends during the not-so-fun times, and general hall unity. A succinct remark from junior Leanne Cartee points up another view of “blissful” dorm livinq: It's not home. Cited were problems with lack of privacy, persistent noise levels, inadequate kitchens, and overall community living burn out. What we put up with for the sake of academics. one wistful student sighed. Mo one washes your clothes. added junior Karen Bell. Different lifestyles require a lot of consideration that some guys aren't willing to put forth. remarked one male resident. Obviously, the dorm cannot be home to everyone, but it does make for an exciting existence. Possibly a remark from sophomore Jay Beard serves as a middle-of-the-road concensus. After a while, you just sort of get numb. That doesn't need qualifying, does it? Sue Williamson Striking a pose. Beth jVIcKoy. Shontainc Barba. Melanie Colson.
