Students seek low prices, vintage party
outfits at local used clothing stores
By Aaron Meier
Staff writer
F or years, the fashion runways
of New York City, Paris and Mi
lan have been filled with styles
modeled after the vintage clothes of
the ’60s and ’70s. Students at Texas
A&M who cannot afford the cloth
ing of Anna Sui or Jean Paul Gaulti
er have to search elsewhere for vin
tage clothing.
Charity resale shops, such as
Goodwill and Twin City Mission’s
Second Chance Resale, offer clothes
hounds a way to indulge their fash
ion sense or to find a crazy outfit for
a party.
Denise McDonald, a junior ac
counting major, recently shopped
at Second Chance Resale at North-
gate for some retro outfits. As a Bon
fire chair for Fowler, Hughes and
Keathley, McDonald shopped for a
“Pimp and Ho” Bonfire cut.
McDonald said at the “Pimp and
Ho” cut, dorm residents will dress
up in ’70s outfits.
“I have been to some other
places looking for stuff, but this
place has all kinds of cool retro
stuff,” McDonald said.
Among the items McDonald
found was an old polyester Uni
versity of Texas button-down shirt
with longhorns embroidered on
the collar and sleeves.
McDonald said she planned to
alter the shirt so the longhorn
would be hornless.
Pat Baillargeon, manager of
Second Chance Resale, said stu
dents look for all sorts of things in
the store.
“Some students come in here
looking for clothes for strange par
ties, like ’60s and ’70s parties,”
Baillargeon said. “We have Fish
Camps come in looking for stuff to
wear. I even have student cus
tomers that come in here every
day looking for things.”
Items besides clothing can also
be found in the shop. From eight-
tracks to copies of National Geo
graphic dating to Oct. 1969, vintage
items can be found on every rack
and shelf.
“As I was walking through here, I
got nostalgic,” McDonald said.
“There is so much stuff here to look
through. It really takes you back to
middle school and high school.”
Baillargeon said the resale shop
benefits many different charity or
ganizations, such as Phoebe’s
Home, a shelter for battered
women and children.
The Goodwill Store at 2600 Texas
Ave., donates its proceeds to training
programs for disabled and handi
capped people. The training pro
gram teaches them job skills for the
modern workforce.
Martha Robbins, manager of the
Goodwill store, said students shop
ping for party clothes visit the store
often.
“The clothes we have carry a big
nostalgia factor with students,”

ienn Krauser, a junior zoology major, looks at clothing at Second Chance
Resale in Bryan. The store, among others in the area, contributes to charities.
Robbins said. “The parties for the
’50s, ’60s and ’70s bring in a lot of
business. Also, people come here to
throw together a cheap Halloween
costume.”
Kyle Kendall, a senior account
ing major, recently purchased a
blue leisure suit for a ’70s-themed
fraternity party.
“The clothes for the decade par
ties are easy to get a hold of,” Kendall
said. “The stuff is usually really cheap
and popular because everyone is
able to do it.”

er, Henderson hides an un

The SCS may sound familiar
from the list of important telephone
numbers every student is given at
the beginning of the summer. How
ever, this service is far-reaching.
College life poses many prob
lems for new students. Many have
to deal with leaving home and fam
ily, dating, grades, tests, career
choices, professors, drinking, drugs
and sex. These factors can overload
an already-burdened student. For
