What’s Hot, and What’s Not? Lying there sandwiched between two lids of plastic, feeling like you were in a coffin, drops of perspiration ran down your face. Soaking it all in, you did nothing but lie there as the heat increased and your skin got browned until the end of the single session when the timer went off and the lid was raised. Where were you? You were in the popular sunbed, of course. Sun lovers had a chance to get the year-round tan they wanted for that healthy golden-brown look. Ranging from $25-$35 for ten ses- sions, tanning beds such as those at Fiesta, Jack D. Whitacres, Slender You and Griff’s were busiest before spring break. Many students tried to get a start on their tans before heading to the sunny states. “I go just mainly to get conditioned so | won't | get burned when | go to Florida over spring break,” said senior SHELLY © DYE. Not only were some students working on their body to look great, some also took extra interest in mak- ing their hair look great too. “Spike it’’ was what some of the guys were PHOTO BY LISA PHOTO BY LISA PFISTER saying to their hair stylists. No longer combing their hair straight down, guys were tired of girls getting the ad- vantage of having a variety of hair styles. Other styles guys opted for were permed waves and curls. If hav- ing even hair got boring for the girls, many of them chose to have half their hair long, half short for the diagonal look. Gel and mousse were used by both sexes to help get the style desired or just to give hair body. Hair wasn’t the only thing that came in swatches. With times and trends always changing, so did the fashions in watches, and along came the Swatch. Face designs on the swat- ches varied from grids to paisleys to stripes, along with oversized numbers. ‘I like them because the different shades of colors match your clothes good,’’ commented JACKIE BLOMEKE. With the many colors, styles, shapes and sizes, students seemed to agree that anything different was in.

Ee Ee em ls Fat Really Beautiful? “Thin is in, and fat is where it’s at.” Or is it? The diet and fitness craze has set in, and people of all ages have plunged themselves into it. Many people were striving to become physically fit and stay in shape. Sweating and giving muscles a com- plete workout gave people the satisfication of knowing they worked their bodies to their fullest. Reasons for exercising varied from junior STEVE SPAHR’S ‘‘to make myself look good’”’ to freshman RUSTY ZAY’S wanting “to be healthy so | can do everything I’m capable of.”’ Being in a sport kept the athlete in shape during season but to stay in shape or to condition themselves, athletes and students often worked out at the YMCA, the gym, at Hiers Park for aerobics, or even at home, along with anywhere else they felt like it. Dieting became easier to do without starving when lunchtime roll- ed around. The newly added salad bar gave students the choice of whether to opt for a crisp lettuce salad, or on special days, the low- calorie baked potato with topping bar. Activities in the summer usually kept people from gaining much weight, but when winter came and spring break was on students’ minds, dieting was tried more regularly. ‘In the winter | get bored and just lay around and eat, but in the summer I'm on the go,” commented JULIE BOWERS , sophomore. From the increased interest in the YMCA to the new addition of the salad bar, diet and fitness seemed to be a dominant part of many peoples’ lives. MEG MACHALL PHOTO BY RICK RUPPERT TO keep his body in shape for both basketball and baseball, senior SCOTT HIERS found weight training class a necessary challenge. WHETHER dieting or not, the new salad bar was a bonus to the usual cafeteria menu. Try- ing out the addition were sophomores MARYBELL GARRETT and PAUL JACOBS. 26 SCID ENTIRE
