A T-shirt for everything is still the college style, and this student displays an unusual shirt for a unique OSU fad, the annual Streaker Night celebration. The latest New York crazes are sometimes slow in reaching our mid- western college town, but it doesn't take long for a fad to catch on to an eager college crowd. A most popular fad was disco, and the fashions conformed to the beat of the music and the glamour of the night club atmosphere. A silky dress, glittery hose and high heels were the attire for women and casual suits or slacks for men, as styles got dressier and many discos enforced a dress code for entrance. Other fads pervaded the campus life, including some traditions that have lasted through the years. The old-fashioned panty raid was renewed this year when one sorority house was invaded by the men of a campus residence hall. The streaker craze saw another year when students observed the sixth annual Streaker Night on the strip immediately preceding spring break. Programs to keep fat off and a healthy composure were devised by groups, and it wasn't unusual to see a team of joggers heading across cam- pus. The newest sport was roller skat- ing. Not only were roller disco and outdoor street skating a popular affair, but coeds also utilized their skates as a new way to travel to class. In Vogu nw ig H' Graduation is a long-awaited affair, but it can't be completely serious. A graduating senior Cabovej wears a favorite hat along with his mortar board at the '79 commencement. The demand for country music will never grow old in Stillwater, and students had a chance to enjoy a day of country and rock music at the annual Springfest celebration in April Qrightj. .. . ft w t' 'sa f .QW tx: , . , . .lm ' r 2.62591 rv' P? ix W' 5 we 'z?'s.si'Y'A -4.-gff,'f r 3'5 J, 5 4 t r vii? , .wigs . ,,16,,,.'QQ,',. ,pp . . ,A ...vis t . . . ,M V , .5 .5 .... . w g - ' 31 , rifflwf-iq..:,f15 -.,,,f, 1 ,gf 1 Jxf .

An experienced roller skater displays his talent as he practices the sport with others on campus sidewalks. PQ it While fashions moved back in time and became reminiscent of the penny loafers and oxfords of the 50's and 60's, music jumped forward to a style of disco and a new type of rock and roll. The Blues Brothers from the pop- ular Saturday Night Live television show were among top performers. The group would emerge on stage wearing suits, hats, sneakers and sun- glasses and would sing and dance to their own tunes. Junk food was still in, but chronic dieters and naturalists gave Stillwa- ter's health food stores a good busi- ness as they invested in natural vita- mins, grains, and other items. Inflation once again held its grip on the economy, and the government introduced the Susan B. Anthony dol- lar, a silver coin resembling a quarter. The coin proved to be a nuisance since it could be easily mistaken for a quarter unless the individual took a closer look to discover the larger size and the ridges on its outer rim. The newest mode of transportation to hit campus was roller skates. Skat- ing became so popular that a local shop opened to supply students with their own pair of skates. Fads as well as fashion made major contributions to a unique year and added their own color to the OSU life style. Fads 'N Fashion 19
