Style ,88 Students Dress For Success Clothing is an all-persuasive and powerful expression of human imagi- nation and spirit. At Southern you need not look far to find the fashion conscious student. What is most impressive about the fashion scene at Southern is the large array of attire which can be seen on a daily basis. One should never feel inhibited by their attire when entering a college classroom. In class you can expect to find anything from old worn out gym shorts and sneakers that can walk by themselves, to Pierre Cardin slacks and a stifly starched Calvin Klien shirt. ls the statement Clothes can make for breakj a man true? Clothes can make men or women the talk of the town, yet at the same time send their well-dressed souls to the poor house. With the fitness fad of the eighties came better built bodies to carry bet- ter priced clothes. Better priced clothing often means higher-priced clothing. Do you re- member your grandparents talking about the sixteen cent pair of Ro- buckers they ordered in the good ole days? Well today Robuckers run rampant, but are better known as Geaubux and Guess. Although these denim delights are readily available, they have never been sixteen cents and never shall be. The average cheap fashions of the eighties can run from S65 to S105 and still lack something. Stone broke students need not de- spair!
