6647 One of the few good things about going to school this past year was be- ing able to see all the different trends. Some lasted and some died off right away. Whatever the case, the trends were examples of one's personal style, whether it was in the way you dressed, styled your hair, or the kind of car you drove. The most popular and common trends this year were set in the kinds of clothes you wore and how you wore them. One of the newcomers to the fashion world and one of the most successful was acid-washed clothing. However, just as successful were the comeback of the mini skirt, trench coats, and tie-dyed clothes. Accesso- ries were greatly popular this year. Many people gave each other friend- ship bracelets. Also, safety pins were considered in and used as accents on iackets or shirts or were used to peg pants. Foot wear was a source of originality this year. Many people could be seen wearing boots-some even wore cowboy boots. An alterna- tive to wearing tennis shoes were big roach stompers called creepers. Another way people showed their style was in their hair. One could tell that hair spray was popular leven though it always has beenl. Many people, mostly surfers and skaters. got a step in their hair to show their style. Many girls wore their hair very high, and were iokingly called hair bears. Some people used their transportation as a way to show their taste. Tom Hempler drove his nostal- gic '57 Chevy to school this year. Ke- vin Alsobrook inherited a new car also. His Austin-Healy could be ad- mired throughout the school year. All in all, the year was full of new and exciting sights. lt didn't matter if you weren't like eveyone else be- cause it was a way to show your per- sonal style rather than being trendy. cas' ,,...

ala! avzaoedo As the world focused its attention on the Persian Gait, the Iran-Conta hear- ings, and the Stock Market, it may have seemed that nothing was happening in San Jose or the Boy Area. But it was just the opposite. More was occuring locally than ever before. Headiining most Bay Area papers wereethetiiiants. ln a time whentootbail? Santa Clara Street north at Montgom- ery Street-the former location of Downtown Datsun. Supporters of the arena feel it will bring big business to the Downtown Area and make San .lose o maior city.

With a slap in the face. The city refused the Giants a newbstadi- um in a November vote. The 'city also refused to alot city funding toconstruct a root on Candlestick, Park to prevent the winds from hamperingrthe team's play. Manager Roger Craig stated after the vote that he would relocate the team. Craig's threat! promise prompted San .iose's city planners to call for a new are- na to bebuilt in the downtown area. The proposed 200,000 seat sports arena wouid draw the Giants to the city. On Novermber 'l3.ithe San .lose City Coun- cil selected a site for the arena---West thenewQFoirmont tloteloheoed in Onto?

The transit mail is an eight block corridor of shops, cate's, and hotels. Weiss is charged with offering the investigators exhorbitant gifts and sums of money to overlook foundation cracks and other flaws.

Suddenly, we were flooded with campaignpropaghando as thirteen candidetesentered the race for the office of the presidency. Prominent early in the race were Republicans George Bush, Robert Doie, and Pot Rob- ertson and Democrats Jesse Jackson and Michael Gore. Gary Hart left the race, and then re-entered in December. The other candidates--Republicans Haig, DuPont, and Kemp, and Demo- crats Simon, Babbit, Gephort, and Duka- kis--fell behind in the popularity pals due to a lack ofthe public's knowledge of their achievements. And no matter what happens around the world, locat movement and motion wiil always capture our attentions.
