Tech fashion class visits Europe
United Press International
LUBBOCK — For $1,900 and
loose change, 25 students can enroll
in a course at Texas Tech University
this spring called “Clothing and
Textiles 330.”
There are no prerequisites and a
seat is available to anyone with the
tuition. Ordinarily a three-hour
class at Tech would cost state resi
dents $50 plus regular fees.
But Dr. Patricia E. Horridge,
chairwoman of the Clothing and
Textile Department, isn’t worried
about filling the class with the not-
so-exciting title. The course, she
feels, has its own merits.
Much of the semester students
will remain in class, listening to lec
tures from language instructors and
art historians. But in mid-May the
class will move off campus — to
Europe.
There, during non-class hours.
students will have the chance to
stroll the Champs Elysses, photo
graph Westminster Abbey or sip
Chianti in Rome.
During work hours, the itinerary
will include tours of Europe’s lead
ing fashion houses like Pucci, Dior,
LaChasse of London and Gucci.
There also will be excursions to tex
tile mills, fashion schools and
museums. Finally, students will lug
their notepads to Stratford-upon-
Avon in England to observe the cos
tumes worn by performers in a
Shakespearean play.
For three spring semesters stu
dents have made the annual fashion
pilgrimages, alternating each year
between New York and Europe. At
$500, the New York trip is cheaper.
Dr. Horridge says, but in an in
creasingly international fashion in
dustry, students need to see Euro
pean fashion houses first-hand.
“The value that we see j n ^
trip) is a culmination of, really, ^
the fashion industry is. Wetryij
expand (the students’) horizon
Fashion is not just drawing a d ress
and producing it. she says.
Students have the opportunity
she says, to observe the fashion jj.
dustry from a European pointy
view and to receive first-hand ij.
struction from business profession

Persistent joggers
risk heart attacks
United Pre«* International
DENY'ER —— Zealous joggers who run despite the cold or a bout of
the flu risk asthma and heart disease in their persistence, an Ameri
can Lung Association researcher reports.
Dr. Edward Morgan, a University of Colorado Medical Center
researcher in exercise and the mechanic’s of breathing, said symptoms
include shortness of breath, wheezing or chest discomfort following
exercise.
Joggers who experience a tight chest after running in the cold may
actually have asthma, which can be induced by exercise, coldairor
viral infections, he said.
“A combination of the three might really do the trick, Morgan
said. The heart strain in extreme cases may cause a heart attack.”
Fhe persistent joggers, along with "hidden asthmatics who attrib
ute their breathing problems to the cold air or pollution can becunaj
with drugs, he said.
Although there is no pn>c>f that inactivity during viral infection
will prevent permanent heart damage, it makes sense. And it niakes
sense in general for a person with a viral infection to take it easy, lie
said.
