Pi m r> (SklCe^ clKoC**! *w-^ Frosh By The Carolina Life Staff The following is a zoological survey of some of the younger animal life at USC. Most of these creatures are harmless, but should not be disturbed in their natural environment. Dorm Rat:Freshman who never leaves the security of the dorm. Addicted to MTV in the lobby, pale skin from too much fluorescent lighting and Nintendo games. They keep Domino's and Wings on Wheels in business. Uncertain if the Dorm Rat ever sleeps because it is always in the lobby or ) at the snack machines. Freshman SlobiThis creature is straight out of parochial school and never wants to feel anything but sweats on its body again. Rarely spotted in the dorm showers, the Slob can often be detected from great distances. Eats only USC's greasiest cuisine; allergic to nutrition.

By The Associated Press When Warren Beatty showed up time and again for Dick Tracy press interviews wearing a gray double-breasted suit and black Tshirt, style watchers took note. T-shirts have become bona fide men's fashion. Sure, they started in the street as walking advertisements, vacation souvenirs, personal statements. One of the hottest right now is a bootleg Bart Simpson tee ? with a black Bart But we're talking upscale, as in Warren Beatty chic. T-shirts represent a $2.6 billion annual market in America, and the average retail consumer buys 6.6 per year, according to a recent survey by the Nike shoe people. They should know. They do the "Bo Don't Know" shirts. "Beatty wasn't the first one to wear the look," says Larry Hotz, "but he certainly might be the catalyst to induce a lot more people to pick up on it." Hotz, a spokesman for the Men's Fashion Association in New York, says the trend started in big cities like Los Angeles and New York where fashion non-conformity is more prevalent. But there are differing opinions of just how it started. Robert Bryan, fashion editor of M Inc. magazine, says ttot "while nobody likes to think it came from 'Miami Vice,' the show certainly did popularize it" The difference, he says, is that now men are wearing softer colors in the same range, rather than contrasting colors. Kimberly Cihlar, fashion editor of Daily News Record, a trade newspaper covering men's fashion, says part of the credit has to go to The Gap. "The Gap showed us that you could take an ordinary Hanes-type T-shirt, combine it with a sportcoat, and you're pretty much j i ?J n:Li? ?? */ 1A urcsseu, says v_iniar. iuu i;uuiu almost wear it to the office. Come to think of it, people who have some leeway on the job do it." With all the variations on the Tshirt theme, there's much more than Hanes and The Gap out there. T-shirts are coming from the drawing boards of well-established designers. For those who seek a quick, ingflMOTI * * ? ! \ . ir?

Rough Hewn. Dricier at about $48, offers a washed pique with a yacht club insignia in hunter, teal, dark red and purple. For upper-end customers, there's Giorgio Armani, who counts Tshirts as a major part of his collection. For next summer he has cotton, cotton-linen and silk-linen blends, ranging from $100 to $300. They're ideal with an Armani slouch suit. For cooler days ahead, look for Armani's long sleeve woolen polos. They range from $250 for a woven knit to $700 for cashmere. Likewise, you can keep warm with a dark wool polo shirt from Studio 000.1 by Ferre, $270. Another cold-weather option comes from designer Tommy Hilfiger, who offers a long sleeve crewneck T-shirt in heavy cotton jersey. It comes in eight colors for around $39.50. Axis is introducing all-cotton Tshirts with 1940s photos of athletes screened onto them. The photos were culled from the Library of Congress. Available next February in stylish shades of kiwi, spice, lapis, gold, terra cotta and storm gray, as well as black and white, they'll retail for about $24-$28. w?A mm uii VY ccinug, pic^iutiu ui Axis, says the tees can be worn equally well with jeans, jacket or sack suit. "That's our generation's alternative to structured clothing," he says. Designers are also coming up with T-shirts reflecting concern for the environment, an important ' theme this season. The Falke Group has the Eco-T. Designed by graphic artist Eileen > Toohey, the all-cotton tees in , bright colors will be available Sept. 22 at about $25. In one, Albert Einstein stands atop the world and says, "You don't have to be a genius to figure it out ... pollution pollutes." J Joe Boxer, an American mens- * wear designer, has a cotton T-shirt with the slogan, "If this T-shirt was a rain forest, its gonna be a tank top in no time."
