L OOK around campus and you'll realize
that it's anything goes in today's hair
fashions. Students are wearing
everything from avant-guard styles
which feature the Japanese look or
spiked locks to soft waves or pixies. The
only consensus among stylists is that
hair styles should reflect the wearer's
personality and work with the war-
drobe.
There seems to be mostly discord
between stylists about what the. "in
look" is. According to Wendee Sweets,
a stylist for A Cut Above Hair Designs,
the concentration camp look is out and
natural curls are in.
"Styles are back to pretty," she says.
But Andrea McCuiston, a Hair Force
stylist just back from an international
hair show in New York, described the
new styles as very short, spiky, neew
wave, and tribalistic.

A LTHOUGH the flowers have not bro-
ken through the cold soil and the mercury
rarely reaches a comfortable 60
degrees, Spring is officially here and
sports stores have lined their walls with
the newest warm-weather fashions,
just waiting for the temperatures to
catch up.
Clearly, the most popular styles of
this season for both men and women,
will be in nylon. Once used only for
protective raingear for runners, nylon
has exploded onto the sport scene as the
most versatile warm-up suit, according
to Paul Bedford, manager of Sneakers
and Cleats on State Street.
In addition to being attractive, nylon
suits are also reasonably priced. A
men's Nike nylon warmup jacket - '
available in mostly greys, blacks and
navy blue stripes, - ranges in price
from $27.99 to $31.99. Matching Nike
pants are about $22.99 a pair.Adidas has
also come out with their own unique
styles of nylon sweat suits. The pants,
which run about $25, are similar to
those of Nike, but the nylon jacket is a
bit heavier than the Nike one and costs
approximately $30. Adidas has recently
introduced a light weight nylon tank top
for more freedom, which costs about
$10 in most stores. In an attempt to
equal their competitors, Nike has also
come out with a matching tank top
which is equal portions of polyester and
cotton and runs about $14.
In men's running gear, the current
demand is for running tights. "Running
tights are in," said Bedford.
"Everybody saw them in the Oympics
and even though they've been around
for years, people are just now catching
on."
The best selling brand of tights, for
the more serious runner, is Dolphin.
Available in a wide variety of colors,
Dolphin tights are made of a stretchy,
spandex material and sell for ap-
proximately $25. Tights have become
popular, mostly in racing, because they
shield the runner from the wind and
also allow a great deal of flexibility.
Still popular in men's warmup suits is
the traditional Adidas style of 100%

shiny, polyester material. These suits,
available in traditional red, white and
blue colors, are quite a bit more expen-
sive, ranging from $79.99-99.99.
Quite different from the men's rather
traditional styles and colors, are this
year's vogue women's fashions.
Hawaiian-looking, short sets are the
"in" fashion this Spring, according to a
sales clerk at Herman's World of Spor-
ting goods who wished to remain
anonymous.
Dolphin has a cotton/polyester blend
women's white tank and matching
shorts priced at about $15-16 in most
area stores.
Adidas, however, is a bit more daring
with it's new line of women's tanks
($12.99), cutting them at only three-
quarters of the normal length. For a
few more dollars, to accompany the
funky tanks Adidas carries polyester
shorts in matching stripes or conser-
vative solid pink or blue colors.
Although the brightly colored short
sets fill the racks, most of the warmup
suits are still pastel colors made of a
cotton/polyester blend. Nike and
Adidas - the most requested brands at
Hermans - vary in price, depending on
the style, from $39.99 to $59.99.
When it comes to what runners wear
on their feet, they have to be and are
selective in what they choose. Accor-
ding to Steve Sartori of Hermans, most
of the traditional shoe manufacturers
- Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Saucony
and Brooks to name a few - continue to
be the most popular brands. But
Reebok, a relatively new company, is
on its way to becoming the most sought
after manufacturer of shoes in the
nation. "Reebok's used to be just for the
elite, but now the prices are coming
down, so others can afford them," said
Sartori.
Among the top-selling men's shoes
are the Maree trainer, priced at $39.99.
The women's Classic is the most
popular among ladies and runs about
$39.99.

In this Spring's tennis wear,
manufacturer's haven't developed any
new fashions. However, companies like
Adidas, Nike and Head are all ex-
perimenting with diagonal stripes as
well as expanding on conventional
pastel colors and conservative styles.
In women's wear, tennis dresses are
out, according to Denise Munson,
manager of Rack 'n Racket tennis shop.
For those tennis players who really
want to look their best on the court with
name brand outfits and can afford ex-
pensive tastes, Fila and Ellesse are the
names you will want to look for. They
are expensive (for a warmup suit they
range in price from $220-$260) but, ac-
cording to Munson, they are worth it.
When it comes to tennis shoes, once
again, Reebok seems to be the
dominant brand for the Spring. "right
now, Reebok has the best tennis shoes
in the nation," revealed Sartori. Mun-
son agreed, saying that, especially for
the women, Reebok Phase One, priced
at $45.95, is the hottest name on the
market.
