Tradition annually proves our As we flaunt craft and talent (con ' t) designed to revolve around Mountaineer Week, explained Beth Secrist, in charge of the lec- tures, to give students a chance to learn about West Virginia history and the heritage of our state. The arts and crafts show, which symbolized for many the true spirit and heritage of the mountain state, began Wednesday. Artists gathered their pottery, paintings, wood- craft, glassware. leather goods, photographs and jewelry together for others to in- spect and learn of their handiwork. Student Foun- dation, which organized Moun- taineer Week, sponsored a Mountaineer School Days pro- gram which gave more than 400 area grade school students a chance to view first hand the traditional festivities of the state. Music of the mandolin and dulcimer by Russel Fluharty and his wife from Mannington, W. Va., entertained students while Moe McCue, a storyteller from Beckley, W. Va., regaled a spell- bound audience with tales of the mountains. The State Music Festival was held in the Moun- tainlair ' s Sunken Gardens, Thurs- day and Friday. The day of the 27-9 triumph against Temple was also the week ' s awards day. At halftime, Mrs. Hazel Ruby McQuain, the most loyal West Virginian, and Jack Fleming, the most loyal Moun- taineer, were honored. Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer, John Canfield and Sheryl Hyden were announced. Saturday night the annual fid- dlers contest at the Coliseum finished out the week of activities. As booths were removed and quilts folded up, memories of pride, traditions and unity among the mountain peo- ple remained. — Debbie Butcher A magic balloon, shown off by Dr El- doonie, mesmerizes both the young and old in front of the Lair.

Fads and fashions run wild on the As students state prep -positions lY HAT WAS your prep- position in the fashion turmoil between preppies and non-prep- pies? Traditional gator-hunting preppies decked out in bermudas, oxford shirts, monogrammed crewnecks and argyles. Safety pin earr- ings, leather skirts, four-color hair and high top sneakers con- stituted the anti- preppy punker ' s wardrobe. Many a p - pearances called for the ever popular blue jeans. Designers Jordache, Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt, plus more casual Levi ' s, Wrangler ' s and Lee ' s brands were most often seen. Blue jean material crept into the coat depart- ment as jean jackets became staples in many wardrobes. The Flash- dance look raged across campus with cut-off sweatshirts and t- shirts being sported by girls and guys alike. Three-piece suits, skirts and blazers and hats gave students a more professional look, usually seen during interview sessions on campus. Hiking boots, heavy jackets and flannel shirts made the lumber- jack look popular with students, even more so on snowy days. Jewelry trends emphasized add- a-bead necklaces, rhinestones, bulky costume jewelry and multi- ple ear piercing. Foot fads in- cluded penny loafers, dock- siders, short- topped boots and animal slippers. Regardless of a student ' s prep- position, fashions let students say something about their person- alities. — Arika Anderson Searching for a match for earrings, Marcy Widmer examines the jewelry at Pinocchio ' s.
