Thrift store!
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. "And because
it's so inexpensive, I can find many

Rita King, who has worked at St.

a significant increase in the
number of young people shopping
there within the past year.

what they like. 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

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.
