From Gentlemen’s Quarterly to Ixathy Courtney and Rich Thompson are featured at the Cottage restaurant. Courtney is wearing stylish knickers, a ruffled blouse and bronze slippers. Thompson is dressed in the rugged look: he is wearing a Ragg sweater, cords, and comfortable Hush Puppies. These two spend an enjoyable evening making several trips to the salad bar. The comfortable look was in, as shown by Jessie Dunnagan and Ron Skanse while playing Atari’s Asteroids. Dunnagan is wearing the ever-popular sweat outfit, leg warmers, a bandana and Tretorns. Skanse is ready for the recruiter with his army pants, shirt and hiking boots. The Atari brings out the competitiveness in both. 28 • Fads and fashion

The winter dance. Usually a formal dance that was not too successful. But, this year the Student Government made one slight change — they made it singles only. They did this, “so there’d be no pressure on anybody,” Student Government Vice President Rick Larkin said. The government decided that the other winter dances put too much pressure on people to find a date if they wanted to go. By making it a singles dance, they relieved this pressure and made it fun for everyone. “We wanted it to be like a party,” Larkin said. The cost of the dance was $2 and about 700 people attended. “It was one of the most successful dances at Jefferson,” Larkin commented. Because the dance was informal, single, and the total cost of the evening was less than any formal dance, it was a success. “It was just great,” Student Government Advisor Erv Deering said, “I was very pleased.” Another thing that helped to make the dance a success was the fact that a D. J. was hired instead of a band. The sound system was Spirit Unlimited, with D.J. Steve Walker, who told the crowd that Jefferson was the best group he’d ever worked with. What did students think of the dance? Debbie Bihler: “It was an exciting, enlightening, exasperating, experience.” Theresa Kosmo: “It was a good time. The Doors were great.” Steve Rhodes: “It was something that everyone could participate in.” Kim Finnegan: “I have never been to a dance like that!” Jodi Hanson: “It was DEVO!” Kathy Gray: “It was relaxing and I felt like I could be myself.” Scott Dahl: “It was fun. I wish I remembered it!” “The people made it a success,” Larkin said, “and it will happen again.” Jefferson Jam • 27
