From Dungeons And Dragons Probably the biggest fad of the year was the Rubik ' s cube — though it had been sold for over a year before. The six-sided, six-col- ored puzzle amused, confused, and aggravated enough people that 6.68 million copies of The Simple Solu- tion To Rubik ' s Cube were printed. It also led to the development of the snake — by the same designer — and the pyramid, the missing link and other variations on the tneme. Dungeons and Dragons and oth- er role-playing games were popular at luncn and after school. After school video games con- sumed electricity at home and quarters in arcades. Atari and Intel- livision were the top-selling home games. They sold versions of the most popular arcade games, such as Pac-Man, Asteroids and Space In- vaders, as well as sports and field games, racing, poker, and battles on sea and in the air. Some people had so many key chains you could hear them com- ing. On them were Rubik ' s Cubes and other games, pictures, sports and hobby items, food, cute sayings, advertisements, including minature Tupperware and even a few keys. Rainbows, hearts, Hello Kitty and Little Twin Stars, alligators and unicorns were on barretts, pins and other trinkets. Shoelaces, too, were decorated with stars, stripes, rainbows, ice cream cones and nearly anything else kids wanted. Group names were on KLOS and album-cover buttons and on con- cert shirts. Old favorites included the Stones and inspired Beatle- mania — a play on stage and a real interest on campus. 96 Fads

Preppies To Pirates In fashion, there was something for everyone ' s taste. It varied from the practical, preppie look, to the high fashion dressed-up style, and included the always popular casual attire. Save an alligator, shoot a prep- pie, was a saying ignored by peo- ple who chose to wear Izod-Alliga- tor shirts, knee socks and top-sider shoes with skirts, walking shorts or nice pants. Guys as well as girls followed this fasion, making it a sort of dress-up style for the guys. Girls who wanted more style did so with For Play cords and oth- ers, wool skirts, sweater dresses, pretty angora sweaters, and frilly pirate shirts. On their feet were the still popular cowboy boots and high heels. For jewelry, maile and fern leaves of all sizes were dipped in gold and worn on chains and earrings. Belts, shoes and hair ac- cessories were silver, gold or bronze. Designer jeans were still around, and so was designer wrap- ping paper, sheets, underwear, and even chocolates. Dressing casual was dressing for comfort, and no one argued that it was enjoyable. Students wore sweat shirts, pants and even mini shirts of the same material. Knickers, pedal pushers, and sailor middie shirts were old styles brought back and were really popular. Leg Warn- ers were worn over pants to keep the chill away. To add the finishing touch on an outfit, girls wore head- bands from bandanas to metallic braid around their heads. Comfort- able shoes ranged from moccasins, to all kinds of tennis shoes, even high-tops in the still-popular in color — purple. Staying in fashion, we kept places like Contempo, Judy ' s, Mill- er ' s Outpost, Bullocks, Broadway, Windsor ' s and Red Eye in busi- ness. 98 Fashions
