By College Press Service LAFAYETTE, La. ? From the shiny bell bottoms of disco to old flannel shirts of grunge, the most popular look for the '90s is retro, according to students who have honed their sense of what's authentic on trips to thrift stores. Goodwill and St. Joseph's Distribution Center are becoming more popular than department stores with the "phat" of contemporary society. Thrift stores offer a wide variety of used items, with the most popu lar item being clothing. Here, someone's discarded junk can be another person's collected treasure. It is not unusual to find vintage clothing from other eras among the piles and racks of clothing offered. Shopping can become not a chore, but a miniadventure with guilt-free, affordable purchases. Tight-budgeted University of Southwestern Louisiana students agree that they are shopping at thrift stores as a solution to their budgetary needs, and also because it's fun. "The reason why I thrift shop is because it's a hobby," said Rachel Le Tulle, a general studies junior whose favorite shop is St. Joseph's Distribution Center.

Rita King, who has worked at St. Joseph's for four years, said she noticed a significant increase in the number of young people shopping there within the past year.

Something that I would throw away, they pick up." King added that although younger people bring a lot of business to St. Joseph's, the clientele varies in all aspects. "We see just about everyone," King said. "We even have people that come from out of town just to stop here. I have some ladies from Opelousas, St. Martinville, Breaux Bridge, Cade and Maurice. "It helps them because we sell at minimal prices," she said, adding that all funds go directly to the St. Joseph's Men's Shelter. Petty Robinson, manager of Ambassador Caffery's Goodwill store, recalled a time when Goodwill was in an old warehouse. "We started in a warehouse in Broussard," she said. "There was no air conditioning in the warehouse and no heat. We were just trying to make an old warehouse look like a retail store before this store was \ " * '; II 3as an Airlines Ticl TICKET DESIGNATOR SERIAL NUMB B45 STUI TICKET DESIGNATOR STAR FILE B60 N*/COI TICKET DESIGNATOR FOCUS B75 F*TKT/C( Passenger fiinnflti ira/SrJmnl FOR OFFICE USE ONLY Ticket Number Date Of Ticket Issuance AA Agent Die/Location Travel Agency Name/IATA# Travel Agency Location .?

Shopping wisely fits naturally into ? * the clothing area of the economy." Angelique Guillory General studies major built." Robinson stressed the quality of the merchandise at Goodwill stores. "We get 5180 designer blouses from Anne Klein and Ellen Tracy, and we sell these for 53.49," Robinson said. "We get a few people that are clotheshorses, and they come here in the morning and rack up on 5100 and 5200 stuff for 53.49. That is a real deal!" Wilbert Morrison, a music theory freshman, said he can "never pass up a bargain." "There's a market in used clothing," he said. "Personally, I think since I'm into music, that that has a lot to do with why I shop there. I see a lot of artists there, too. I think they're trying to project an image.

Students with high grades * get free tuition By College Press Service WORCESTER, Mass. ? Students who pursue four-year degrees at Clark University will be eligible for a fifth year ui uw luiuou iu cvmpicic a master's degree under a new program designed to combat the rising cost of ed* ucation. Essentially, the program allows eligible students who maintain grade point averages of 3.25 or higher to receive a master's in business administration, health administration or other fields for the price of a bachelor'^ degree. ,1 Clark Provost Roger Kasperson said, there are three advantages for students who opt for the five-year, com-, bined degree programs. ii "First, they can save themselves the* price of a master's degree or MBA," he said. "Second, while they are doing that, they can accelerate their studies through well-designed and' strong academic programs. Third'* they can make themselves more competitive in the job market without incurring substantially more debt." Clark has offered the accelerated five-year degree programs for more' than 20 years. Students who opt for the programs are accepted into the master's programs in their junior years, begin meeting requirements in their senior years and fulfill the requirements in the fifth year. Cr\mKinpH Kirhplnr's anH mastpr's programs are available in biology, chemistry, education, environment^, technology and society, international development, physics, and business, and health administration. The waiving of the fifth-year tuition^ believed to be the first program of itsn kind in the nation, recognizes students and parent concerns about the esca-^ lating costs of a bachelor's degree. also recognizes that a bachelor's^ doesn't necessarily ensure profes-i sional career opportunities anymore,, the university said in a news release. The cost savings are substantial^ particularly for expensive programs such as MBA degrees. MBA students at Clark can expect to save about $22,000 in tuition, room and board for the sixth year they won't need, plus the $17,500 in tuition that the university will waive for the fifth year.
