VCR’s, Stage Two prove trendy Each year brings new trends in clothing, phrases, and activities. This year at UT was no different from others in bringing its own trendy concepts. Trends in fashion allowed for individualism in expressing moods with accessories being key details. Students seemed to match their dress with how they felt, what the day promised, and what the weather was like. Silver loafers and purses, old brooches found in grandmother’s jewelry cases, hair styles with shaved effects, oversized sweaters, men's shirts on females, high top heels, faded and prewashed jeans all formed some of the fashion. Just as styles pinpoint a year, so do activities. A popular activity was discovered at Stage Two. a new teen night spot. Also, students attended after-game dances at school. Renting movies to watch on VCRs was an inexpensive and convenient evening activity. In the Fall nearing Halloween, students took advantage of area Haunted Houses. Of course, students continued to find enjoyment in their favorite music, ranging from hard rock to punk. They continued to do homework, wearing their earphones, or watching MTV. Students also demonstrated interest in politics in the fall and in the results of the Iceland Summit regarding nuclear weaponry. As a result of the discussions, many students took up the slogan. ’’Make love, no war. borrowed from the 60’s peace movement. Beth Stotts. Staci Kohn. and David Perry model additional current styles. Movie videos and VCRs are major entertainment (actors this year. Jana Miller, Glenda Miller, and Jennifer Black make some picks of movies. Jeff Goering. Susie Kryzanek. Melissa Manwaiing. and Margie Mel ernon model outfits that prove the importance of accessories. STUDFNT LIFE 15
