V., mov- ies also are subject to faddish trends. Where last year's favorite Rocky pulled at heart-strings, this yearls favorite Star Wars has excited the senses with its special effects.

But fads are prob- ably most evident in the World of fashions .en , I ,W M' 1 X L. If you want to see the stars, don't go to the movies, the best place to see the latest stars are on T-shirts like the one sophomore Kelly Pellegi-am is seen wearing Iabovel.
