Barnes said his &rt is In representa¬
tion of the complexities of life.
The casts that you see here are not
complete; they weje; but now they are
crumbled, so that all that Is seen now is
what used to be.
The crumbled casts convey the con¬
cept of the arbitrary life decisions we
have made In the past, the decisions we
make in the present and the decisions
we will make In the future;" he said.
Barnes Is an Instructional support
technician. He's the "how to" person of
CSUF"s art department

that Is three dimensional, which In¬
cludes bronze casting and silk screen
techniques." he said.

ment. Barnes was a high school metal

Job," he said. *

They work hard. They master difllculj bodies of
thought. They conduct scientific research and con¬
verse in foreign languages.
But now that spring Is here, students again are
communicating with each other a little morepriml-
Uvely: with their T-shirts.
"Students have their Identities tied up with shirts to
averygreatextenLandlbelieve they do communicate
.withoneanother through their 'snirtspeak' language,"
said Prof f^n-^ayre of San Jose State University, who
surveyed stud ■ ..wi*. campuses *bout their T-shirt
preferences.
> T-shirts give you a group Identity. It shows your
loyalty to a particular team or group." added Memphis
State University's BetUna Comwell.who also has con¬
ducted scholarly research into why T-shirts, of all
things, are so popular on campuses. y-
"Colleges are wonderful areas to look at and study T-
shlrts because so many students wear them." Comwell
noted.
Not everyone Is happy that students wear T-shirts,
or with what they're saying.
In early March, University of Southwestern Louisi¬
ana Dean of Student JJfe Mary McPhaul told a USL
fraternity to stop selling T-shirts with messages that
"could be construed as negatlvewhen the university ts
trying lo put its best foot forward."
USL business fraternity PI Sigma Epsilon had been
selling shirts emblazoned with the Top Ten Reasons I
Chose To Attend The University Of Southwestern

student to teach me English" and "Could Not Spell L S
A similar shirt—listing 15 reasons why "Beer Is
Better Than Women At Tufts" - was sold last springas
Tufts University in Massachusetts. It led to a ban on
potentially offensive shirts In certain campus "zones;"
which later was'overtumed on free speech grounds.
Such shirts say more about the wearers than about
the schools they attend. Sayre and Comwell contend.
Both professors said that shirts sporting collegiate
logos or the Hard Rock Cafe T-shirts are popular at
