Even though many students
wear sports clothes for comfort
there are certain activities that require
specific sports attire.
In fencing, for example, the clo#
thing depends upon whether one is
* competing or just practicing. Besides
the obvious mask one musl
wear, one also needs a glove foi
the weapon hand and genuine tennis
or fencing shoes.
** Graduate student Scott Dean, a
fencing club member, said the
most significant items in his wardrobe
are his knickers and his
jcock fencing jacket. "Technically,'

are more tight-fitting and puncture a
, resistant than sweat pants. e
"Most clothing is from a point

fashion," Dean said. He said cy- t
. cling pants are becoming some- c
what fashionable to wear under the r
knickers, but he added that "it de- s

One particular item that stands s

my clothes are cut-up stuff I don't f

The Whitewater and Mountaileering
Club is so varied in its acivities
that there is no certain type
>f clothing to wear. One activity,
ock-climbing, does require some
;pecial attention to dress.
Club treasurer Stephanie Simonion
said the pants should be looseitting
and comfortable. One usuilly
avoids jeans because they are
oo restrictive, she said. There is
ilso a snecial rock-climbine shoe.
rhese shoes are very snug and are
nade of a special rubber designed
o allow the wearer to feel the rock
mderneath.
Simonson said the new hiking
