Car windows were adorned with the stuffed form of cartoon cat Garfield grasping the glass with his section cup paws. At about S20 a piece, Garfield was a reasonably affordable replacement for those little yellow signs that were once everywhere. As for the cars Garfield hung in, the popular models were mostly foreign - Hondas, Mazdas, Toyotas, and Volkswagens. Mini-trucks with painted rims and trim were com- mon, as were Rabbits, CRXs, and Volkswagen bugs. Steak fajitas turned up at many restaurants and became popular about the time Chicago Bears quar- terback Jim lVlclVlahon began tout- ing their virtue for Taco Bell. Chicken and shrimp fajitas were soon to follow. Probably the biggest trend of the year was that lovable spotted-eye mutt hawking Budweiser. Yes, Spuds MacKenzie - really Evie Oles. a female dog from Illinois - became quite the fad. Her likeness adorned not only Anheuser-Busch ads, but dolls, shoes, shorts, hats, t-shirts, and more. The Spuds clothing caused a controversy as schools across the country, including Lodi Senior Ele- mentary, banned the apparel. The rumors of his untimely pass- ing frun over by his own limousine, drowned while water-skiing, hit by a Budweiser truckl were not only unfounded but added to his appeal. by Helen Schorr photos by Eric Johnston Fads 61

Fashion captures individuality Ever since the beginning of man people, especially students, have been using fashion to express their individuality. Fashion makes a state- ment and the style of clothes one wears was used to express one's personalities and attitudes. A person's style was influenced by many different sources including music, sports, ethnic background, and activities. Last year some students expres- sed their individuality through their style of clothes, whether it was spiked hair and black attire to mini skirts and leather jackets each per- son staked claim to his or her own original style. Many times style was used as a tool for finding a common interest. Since style revealed a person's personality and attitude, distin- guishing different groups on cam- pus proved simple. Some of the groups were deter- mined by music such as the wild style where both boys and girls withdrew to spiked hair, black cloth- AM 1 'N 4 .-w-pr- es, and combat boots. One would assume that this type of style was influenced by New Age, and Euro- pean type of music. Another group influenced by both their love of the farm life and country western music, expressed their attitudes by wearing the ever popular Wrangler jeans and cowboy boots and hats. Taking a break from the strange many kids were seen sporting the leather bomber jacket brought in with the i'Top Gun rage, mini skirts which have been in circulation since the 6O's, and the newest type ofjean, acid wash, which were given special care to make them look as old and worn as possible. Still to this day sport lovers display their lettermen jackets in both rain and shine, sleet of snow and dark of night. With each style came a difference of opinion, and a difference of attitudes, but one thing that every- one shared in common was the use of fashion to create the indivi- dual. by Jennifer Jacobs photos by David Lyon 5. Hemlines hit the fashion line above the knee as many girls, including soph- omore Melissa King, wore mini skirts of all kinds. Fashions 63
