I ' ll le you be you if you ' ll let; me be me teil« iversit:y Day - Nearly 250 Hood College students, most of them sporting specially de- signed T-shirts, gathered around the Pergola in the center of campus for a IV2 hour rally organized to promote diversity on campus. The rally, held Thursday, Sept 22, was spearheaded by a group of students identifying themselves as the core group who said they were concerned about racial, cultural and sexual preference issues on campus. A handful of faculty and staff joined the rally, billed as a celebration of diversity. The organizers were very pleased with the celebration and the turn out, said Marcia Bailey, one of the day ' s organiz- ers. She also said that the group hopes that the celebration wouldn ' t just occur once a year. Students wore T-shirts of various colors, which Bailey said help exemplify how di- versity can be shown merely by wearing (them). Attendees were asked to sign a pledge on an oversized card that proclaimed they would not tolerate racism or sexism of any form. Brief one to two minute speeches were presented by members of the committee Laurie Johnson and Marcia Bailey. Others who spoke in- cluded Hood President Martha Church, Gerald McKnight, pro- fessor of history and chair of the Department of History and Po- litical Science and Roger Reit- man, instructor of sociology. The speakers spoke of the con- cept of equality for all, President Church asked students to assist her in recruiting more minority faculty and staff members. The organizers provided music with feminist, social, ra- cial and friendship themes. Ar- tists included Tracy Chapman, UB-40 and Michael Jackson. — Shelli Dronsfield. : ' :. y;i GETTING CARDED.

7i They ' re a fashion statement, so get A ith the style sporting Sunglasses Are you under the influ- ence of the archaic no- tion that sunglasses are worn for the sole purpose of protecting one ' s eyes from the harmful ultra-violet rays of the sun? If so, get with the times! Sunglasses have become a fashion statement and no where was this more evident than at Hood. There were an unlimited amount of colors and styles to make a selection from. Wayfarers were popularized several years ago when audi- ences viewed Tom Cruise per- forming some Risky Busi- ness. They remained in style and became a favorite of sophomore Angela Layser, who wore her shades to look cool. Another popular style of sunglasses were Ray Ban Aviators. The dark mirrored lenses and simple wire frames were the favorite of sophomore Kim Adams, who said she wore sunglasses to hide in when she was hungover. For those with the animal within, Sun Cloud made a very popular style which they called Cat Eyes. These tortoise colored sun- glasses were sophomore Jenni- fer Waterbury ' s favorite. 1 need a pair of sunglasses with dark lenses when I lifeguard so 1 can see well, she said. The real reason one chose a dark pair of sunglasses was to be able to see all the good looking guys with- out having them know they were being looked over. Everyday one saw television stars, movie stars, political fig- ures, and even SGA President Liz Hyatt clad in sunglasses. While there were many reasons one wore sunglasses, freshman Vicki Rollins said, Sometimes I wear sunglasses for the look, sometimes for the style, but al- ways for fun and to look sexy. Whether one chose Way- farers, Ray Ban, or Cat Eyes, sunglasses were worn for mak- ing fashion statements. So if you were like sophomore Carrie Davis, who said she wore sunglasses to avoid the bright- ness of the sun, get with the times! — Michelle Routzahn. MIRROR. MIRROR, ON THE WALL.
