Denim was as popular as ever with frosted, acid- washed, stonewashed, and traditional blue jeans. Popular designer names included Guess?, Pasta, Camp Beverly Hills, and Liz Claiborne. Sweats bearing college logos also became more popular. Not only were the traditional I.U. and Purdue sweats worn, but also Ari- zona, Yale, Harvard, U.C.L.A., West Point, Notre Dame, and Alabama appeared. On the entertainment scene, the top movie hits seemed to be “Dirty Dancing” and ‘‘Three Men and a Baby.” Hot concerts in- cluded U2, INXS, and the four-time sold out John Cougar Mellencamp concert. Also more popular in music were CD’s. Collectibles from fast-food restaurants also seemed to be popular. Leading the list of collectibles were the California Raisins. Poundpuppies, Christmas reindeer, folk bears, Garfield mugs, and Gus and Jacques, the Cinderella Christmas mice, were also col- lected. Senior econ classes also started their own fads by peddling their merchandise to the underclassmen. They sold Quaker tanks, mugs, buttons, and notepads and entertained the student body with their “special an- nouncements.” Marla Lich and Kerl Hemphill model some of the year’s popular fashions by Pasta.
