Despite objections that there is nothing to do on campus, one need look no further than the cam- pus calendar before he sees some- thing which interests him. For those on a student ' s budget, free entertainment is abundant. Spacious Murphy Center almost becomes a focal point when the sun goes down. It is generally thought of as a building for all purposes. When the bleachers are not filled with chants of GO, BIG BLUE! during sports events, it houses screaming fans at guest ap- pearances from various well- known artists. Because of its location, MTSU is labeled a suitcase college. Many young co-eds travel that well-worn path back home every Friday afternoon to mother ' s cooking, cleaning, and general lov- ing attention. While some rush back to cam- pus early Sunday afternoon to pick up that forgotten book, others prolong the anguish of facing an- other week of classes as long as possible. For those that don ' t go home, they can always make the short drive to Nashville to visit some of the better known hot spots. While trying to recuperate from all the hectic scurrying around between classes, meetings, dates, and road trips, one is able to snatch a few moments to catch up on laundry, cleaning, and even a forgotten as- signment or two. Although MTSU is usually bus- tling with activities, one is able to lose himself if he wishes. By taking a slow walk under the autumn col- ored trees, or just settling down with a good book under the last rays of the afternoon, one is able to find his own Walden, the peaceful serenity that keeps him coping with reality. And, so, like the Blues we say, Where do they come from, where do they go.- ' iS

FASHION This year ' s campus fashion seems to have been dictated by the phrase anything goes. In the past years college campuses witnessed the blue jean phase, the chic fashion -oriented stage, and now, it seems that students are dressing more to suit their own personal taste, be it dressed up or dressed down. LaRita Bailey, Sarie Doty -Hamlin and Dawn Drake are pictured in apparel which many stu- dents may be seen wearing to class. Camel, black, and shades of brown appear to be very popular colors this year in dress wear. The tweed wool jacket modeled by Dawn is also a very popular asset to anyone ' s wardrobe. The camel -colored hat worn by LaRita is an acces- sory that will be seen more and more. Hats are once again returning to the fashion scene and are details which add that finishing touch to many an ensemble. LaRita and Greg Humble are outfitted for that occassion that demands a little more than just a casual look. LaRita ' s ruffle-necked blouse, accented again by the versatile blazer, is of a mode that will be turning up more and more. This style is very flattering, very feminine perfect for that fashion -conscious coed who desires that stylish appearance. 15 fashion
