When Stephanie Klein came ro Eastern chis fall, her first night in college was spenr ar a "ghetto" theme pany. "I wore cur-off swear pants, a black wife beater, an Adidas hat tilted to the side, a bandana around my arm," said Klein, freshman education major. "And some bling-bling of course." Theme parties have become more popular on campus because they're more fun and unique than regular ones, according to Michael Worden, senior computer information systems major. "The typical dance party in a really dark room with people hump-dancing while lighrs Ricker kind of made my head hun the fLrSt rwo years here," he said. Although he said he's nor opposed to "hump-dancing," Worden feds theme parties are a nice change. Worden recently hosted his own party with an '80s theme. "For that particular party we had the Miami Vice crew with aviators and pastel suirs," he said. "Miami Vice means one thing: man glamour." A music compilation ofJourney, Duran Duran, Mororhead and Iron Maiden helped set the mood for Worden's theme party. Shannon May, sophomore elementary education major, said the best theme party she's ever attended was a lingerie party. "Besides oudirs, the place was decorated with can­ dles and rose petals, and there was wine," May said. "You know, the usual ingredienrs used ro create a sexy environment." The most creative type of theme party she's heard of is a Rubik's cube pany. "It's where everyone wears one article of clothing that has the colors of the Rubik's cube on it; like a white shirt, red panrs, green socks, ere.," she said.
