The Clarion September 8, 1988 Page 3 0 O&LLeo^ 1. McLarty-Goodson— the Humanities classroom building, also known as M-G. You will grow to love this place. 2.Beam Administration Building— this is where the Prez and Dean Langley hang out, also where you pay your bills. 3. Moore Science Building— lots of interesting dead things and rocks in here. 4. Jones Library— quietest place on campus to study, a great place to escape from your roommate Spike and his punk music. 5. Cafeteria— most popular place on campus and easiest place to find whomever you’re looking for. 6. Coltrane Art Building— gets pretty strange here at the end of the semester when all the art students have their projects due. 7. The sun— the only thing you’ll see at BC up this earily besides Doc Wood and Randy Jackson playing loud rock and roll in M-G. 8. BC students- seen here engaging in one of their many study- skills popular on campus. (Cartoon and notes by Matt French) What’s /lot —and what’s not atBC by Heather Conrad YOU weren’t going to ask. YOU didn’t want to know. But curiosity got the best of you. Now you must inquire...What is “in” this year at BC? What is “out”? And pray tell, what’s on everyone’s mind?? Searching EC’s campus, the first “in” to consider becomes obvious: Freshmen. Freshmen are in, all 430 of you! However, sophomores are certainly not out. Just out numbered. Next, clothes must be considered. Pastels at BC are setting as fast as the sun, giving way for earth-toned apparel to fill dormitory closets. New colors, what next? New wear? Nope new underwear. Boxers, in particular. Col ors, prints or plain, boxers are leaving dad’s drawers empty and the Fruit of the Loom guys in utter ecstacy. Teamed with Tretorns, Vans or even a pair of boots, box ers are tops for bottoms on BC’s campus. Tie dyes are lingering while rips and shreds are tearing the clothing scene apart. Destroyed, distressed or defunct apparel may seem ridiculous, especially if it’s not your own doing, but it is “in” nonetheless. Hair is making a big statement for BC’s students this fall as weU. Hair is being grown long by both sexes, then waved, not permed. And if long just isn’t you, butch cuts and geometric or lopsided short hair styles are cutting up the conservative, mid-length look of yesteryear. And as for the male faculty members at BC, they seem to be opting for the “no hair” look. Marvelous! Music-wise for BC students, the in music is reserved to each individual. Bocephus to blues, classic to Chapman — irtusic in any meter or melody form fits to ‘he BC individ^l. And in case you haven’t heard it through the grapevine, Marvin Gaye’s song is simply a cult classic, but the oh-too well known California Raisins are ripening into overpublicized and processed raisinettes. And as if the world around us “BC tren dies” isn’t changing enough, check out the attitudes of people these days. Apparently sell awareness is in, but world awareness is out. Colleges and universities, America’s prime hotbeds of controversial ideals and inspirations, are slowly receeding into a woodwork of passiveness. For example, to find a single handful of college students who could name the presidential can didates and their platforms is literally im possible. But never fear.Today’s college student isn’t totally uncaring. Peace is “in” — the symbol, that is. The peace emblem itself is booming — from earrings to bumper stickers, to et chings on the notebook or an idling stu dent’s mind, the symbol is gaining ground. However, its essence is like a shadow, it holds no substance nowadays. Insecurity and discontentment is “in” and within our nation’s people, of all ages. Papers ex press it, songs proclaim it, the media is chock full of it. Hopefully, these stirrings will be “out” before they grow to be too “in.” Computers are in, manuals are out Quick money making is desired by many college students, and time is not only o«l, but if its used in excess, it’s bad. Efficien cy calls the game in society today. So there you have it, the hots and nots of 1988 in BC and the world. Now, you may wonder, is there anything that has remain ed forever “in”? Yes, there is one thing. People's curiosi ty to read articles about what's hot and what’s not in I heir .vnrld
