Yes, time did march on as Behrend
students modeled into the latest styles
and trends for the present Spring and
upcoming Summer seasons.
Last Thursday, the National Society
of Black Engineers sponsored their
annual fashion show held in the Reed
Commons. There were about fifty
eager students, faculty, and visitors
patiently waiting to see what’s hot and
what’s not. The styles on display
ranged from army-style attire and
swimwear to casual and business wear.
In the swimsuit category, the ladies
either wore a two-piece or one-piece
colorful bathing suit with a matching
sarong skirt tied around their waists.
The models introduced the bright neon
colors that seem to be the choice for

traditional swimming trunks or swim

that the predicted freshman GPA will
be going up next year for four-year
degree students, as well as associate
degree students.
Lilley also predicted big things for
