The eyeglasses have it
specs can improve your image

Eyeglass wearers concerned with
presenting a professional image are
finding that their specs can be an asset
rather than a liability.
Even people with normal vision are
attracted to the distinguished look
glasses can add, opticians say.
David Lane, an optician at Uni
versity Opticians in University
Square, said more and more people
are thinking of glasses as fashion
accessories.
The current trend in eyewear is
toward metal and round, tortoiseshell
frames, often called the "schoolboy
or "Clark Kent" style, Lane said.
These frames alone, without prescrip
tion lenses, range from $45 for plastic
to $90 for metal, he said.
Frank Drey, an optician at Pearle
Vision Center in Durham, said the
conservative style of frames is par
ticularly popular with young law
students. Students choose this style
because they think it makes them look
smarter or more dignified, he said.
Marion Zoot" McClure, a junior
from Mooresville who wears glasses
with a slight correction, said he thinks
glasses give a distinguished, business
look.
Opticians agree that students'
desire to present an authoritative
image is increasing the demand for
"pianos" frames with plain glass.
"Some students a senior who
is job hunting want to project a
corporate image, Lane said. "We
have done a lot more of that business
(pianos) than I ever thought we
would."
Pianos are often a professional
investment. Lane said surgeons and
dentists, whose careers put them in
direct contact with blood, are buying
pianos as protection from AIDS, like
a pair of rubber gloves.
Drey said people with youngish
features wanting to look older buy
pianos. Often these are people who
are in positions of authority.
Brian Beverly, a sophomore from
Lusby, Md., said he wears pianos
because they are stylish. "It's like
wearing sunglasses on a cloudy day.
You don't need them, but they look
fashionable."
Students who have a choice of
when to wear their glasses are opting
to wear them more often than
necessary.
"I get a lot of compliments on my
glasses," said Laura Gaglione, a
sophomore from Charlotte. "People
always want to try them on to see
how they look in them. I think it is
a fad for our age group."
Gaglione and Beverly said they
chose their frame style for fashion
reasons but think the image will be
useful in their expected careers in law.
The negative connotation tradi
tionally attached to wearing glasses
is slowly fading away. More people
recognize that glasses can be fashion
able as well as complementary to a
professional image.
"There is a sense of geekiness that
is almost a fashion," said Ken Holt,
a junior from Raleigh. "It seems like
you trust people with glasses more.

Coming off a 73-50 blowout at the
hands of Clemson, the North Carol
ina women's basketball team will look
to rebound against Duke tonight in
Durham. Game time in Cameron
Indoor Stadium is 7:30.
UNC has lost seven of its last eight
games en route to a 7-8 overall record,
1-4 in the ACC. Duke, meanwhile,
enters tonight's contest with a 13-4
mark, 2-4 in the conference.
Despite the recent poor performan
ces by her team, North Carolina
coach Sylvia Hatchell seemed optim
istic about the face-off.
"Anytime UNC and Duke get
together, you know there is going to
be hype because of the big rivalry,"
Hatchell said. "We feel like we match
up well with Duke because of our
inside game. We are pretty positive
we're going to win. But, we are
definitely the underdog. Duke has
been ranked most of the season."
For the record, UNC holds a series
advantage of 1 18-105, with a 1-1 mark
under Hatchell. And despite the off
record the Tar Heels now possess,
there are problems on the Duke side
of the ledger, also.
The main concern facing Duke
coach Debbie Leonard is the avail
ability of all-conference candidate
Katie Meier. Meier is the Devils'
second-leading scorer with 17.2
points per game. However, she has
been out with a knee injury and
played only sparingly over the
weekend.
"The key for Duke is whether or
not Katie Meier can play," Hatchell
said. In Meier's absence, Duke has
dropped out of the Top 20.
But UNC fans should not breathe
easy just yet. This Blue Devil team
is still equipped with AU-American
Chris Moreland. Moreland leads the
team in scoring with an 18.6 per game
clip. She also leads the team in
rebounding, pulling down 11.5 a
game.
North Carolina also boasts a player
of star quality coming into tonight's
action. That player is 6-foot-2 senior
forward Kathy Wilson. Wilson leads
the Tar Heels with 20.7 points per
game and 9.5 rebounds per game. But
Hatchell is looking for more consis
tency out of Wilson and the team as
a whole.
"I knew when I first came here that
Kathy could be a great player,"
Hatchell said. "But the key for her
is consistency. If she can maintain a
solid level of consistency she should
be able to realize her vast potential."
UNC also has rugged six-foot
senior forward Tia Poindexter to
work inside the lane. Coming off an
excellent 20-point, nine-rebound
performance against Clemson, Poin
dexter is second only to Wilson in
scoring and rebounding with averages
of 11.9 points and 8.5 rebounds.
For the second year in a row, the
money from ticket sales will be
donated to the Ronald McDonald
House in Durham.

The right eyeglasses can create a businesslike image
They seem less threatening. " - : :. .5
Holt said he . wears glasses when
he wants to concentrate because he
feels more studious. He said he also
chose to wear glasses to a job
interview because of the image the
specs present.
Andre Zwilling, a junior from
Raleigh, said he thinks television
programs like "L.A. Law" have
heightened the awareness of glasses
as a fashion tool, associating glasses
with the "yuppie" image.
"There is a particular style, like a
shirt or a tie, that is popular now,"
he said. Glasses are just a part of the
image a person presents, he added.
"If you have stylish glasses but a
polyester suit on, you are still a geek."1
Zwilling said he probably would
not wear his glasses to an interview
because they suggest trendiness.
Marcia Harris, director of Univer
sity Career Planning and Placement
Services, said she would not recom
mend buying pianos for interviews,
but suggests that people who have a
legitimate need for glasses choose
eyewear carefully nothing
unconventional.
From staff reports
Listen up, all you hoop gurus,
because this one's for you.
Student tickets for the first and
second rounds of the 1988 NCAA
East Regionals will be on sale Feb.
1-3 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Smith
Center ticket office.
The first two rounds will be held
March 17 and 19 at the Center. The
tickets will cost $50 per set and
include admission to the two sessions
on the 17th and the one session on
the 19th.
Teams and times will be announced
at a later date. The North Carolina
Tar Heels are eligible to play at the
Smith Center because NCAA regu
lations allow a team to play at home
for the first and second rounds only.
Sting concert
is still on
Despite the fact that he has can
celed several tour dates this week,
Sting will -perform-at the Smith
Center tomorrow night as scheduled,
said Smith Center public relations
coordinator Deana Nail yesterday.
Due to illness, Sting canceled a
Nashville show last night, as well as
two Atlanta dates. Apparently, he
became ill last Thursday during his
Miami concert, said Nail, and nearly
lost his voice. She said that his malady
was thought to be a virus which was
running its course.
Taken from both upper and lower
levels, 200 tickets will be available to
students. They must have a valid
student I.D., athletic pass and reg
istration card to purchase tickets.
Cash only will be accepted. A limit
of one ticket set per student will be
in effect. Tickets not bought by Feb.
4 will go on sale to the general public.
