Point of View

BY La u r a Re m s o n

No one denies that Baylor’s campus is beautiful. Often, it seems like each branch, leaf and flower are placed, by hand, in a specific place to make the overall effect just right. Perhaps even the sun is placed at just the right angle in the sky to make cam- pus look like an extraordinary wonder- land of perfection. Thinking about it, I can’t name an eyesore on the campus. I can however, name a ‘nose-sore.’ I’m referring to the elevators in the Dutton Parking Garage. One brave step into any of the three elevators is like playing some sick game of Russian Roulette. Each has its own unique, dare I say – flavor – that more than saturates its rider. As clichéd as it sounds, trying to describe the smell is impossible. Even for Public figures must show civility, reporting’s sake, I couldn’t bring myself to stand in there long enough to detect the minute differences between the three elevators. It would be like comparing an hold themselves to higher standards old sewage to a rotten hard-boiled egg milkshake to a fish head stuffed with Editorial meat factory leftovers. Sorry, Baylor students, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. This past week was ridden with outbursts nationwide. The political, athletic and entertain- ings.

In look 12, the jumpsuit cuts a full pant-length hem — one of several hem lengths for jumpsuits and rompers for spring. Bright colors Remember in February when Marc Jacobs brought the 80s back with his Fall 2009 collection that covered a full spectrum of electric and neon colors? Just like leather jackets, jumpsuits and rompers, bright colors get new life in Spring 2010. But don’t expect the bright colors to be quite the same the second time around. Bright prints were aplenty at Anna Sui and the bright colors went bold and patterned at Marc by Marc Jacobs. Zac Posen, Betsey Johnson and numerous others also keep the trend alive for the upcoming season. Off the runway, Hinsdale, Ill., junior Meghan Enright is working on a brightly colored swimsuit in one of her design classes, citing some of her inspiration as coming from the runway. “I’m always a fan of bright colors, especially this bright purple that I’m working with for the swimsuit,” Hinsdale said. Not all of the design students are as convinced about the bright colors as a trend. “I’m not a big fan of the neon,” San Antonio senior Meredith Mitchell said, “but shoulder pads, defi nitely, because they just make women look good.” Shoulder pads and strong shoulders are Across 50 Ready 27 Maui or Kauai one of a number of other trends for spring. 1 1988 tennis Grand 54 Kid going nuts 28 Barrier at a zoo The new season has more to offer than a few returning trends; Spring Slam winner with building 29 Big name in ASSOCIATED PRESS 2010 is wrought with new trends that can be mixed and matched with 5 Partner of alas blocks? chips the older ones to create entirely new looks. 10 “City of Seven 57 Insolvent S&L 32 Chicken __: Herve Leger by Max Azria is the king of bondage dresses.
