A guy’s guide to style do’s and don’ts Students discuss men’s fashion David Jones Entertainment Writer
Men’s fashion is on the rise, with designers diving into new color patterns and styles, but University males may be hesitant to follow suit. Esquire magazine counted sand-blasted jeans, bright boots and unlined blazers among its 25 men’s fashion trends for spring 2012, but University students take a different approach, declaring individuality as the biggest indicator of a fashionable male. Colby Rushing, construction management sophomore, said affordability was
the most important aspect of his daily wardrobe. “I get all my clothes from the thrift store,” Rushing said. “I don’t think you need a lot of money to look decent.” Rushing said his everyday style consists of crew neck sweaters and gym shorts, accessorized with a vintage snapback hat. For formal wear, he prefers to wear a polo-style button down. Kristina Pellegrini, fashion merchandising sophomore, said she prefers men with a refined style, who can add flair to their garb when necessary. “I love casual blazers on men.” Pellegrini said. “Men’s fashion has become more polished. The messy look is out.” Pellegrini said men should individualize their
fashion trends and take risks, but there is a limit on what is appropriate for males. She said the most common fashion faux-pas she has witnessed around campus are sagging pants and overlyskinny skinny jeans. Both Pellegrini and Rushing said fraternity-inspired wear dominates male fashion on campus. Both listed shades, Polos and short shorts when describing the popular look found among fraternity brothers. “It’s either you dress like you’re in a frat or you dress comfortable and cool,” Rushing said. Nicholas Morel, business senior and member of the Acacia fraternity, said the similarity in fraternity apparel is mainly because of how MEN’S STYLE, see page 13

Gadgets that can help you get healthy Taylor Balkom
Entertainment Writer
Personal fitness is a priority for many students on campus, but as they balance class, work and time in the gym, getting in shape can be a tall order. Here are four cool gadgets to help with healthy exercising: 1. Fibit Ultra The Fibit Ultra is a small, wireless clip that tracks the number of steps taken, calories burned, calories consumed and flights of stairs climbed, as well as sleeping patterns. The device is only half the package, though. At fibit.com, users can view workout totals and customize your calorie counter by adding specific foods.
With that information, users can apply different techniques to increase stepcounts or try and sleep longer and better.
2. Adidas miCoach For more serious workouts, the miCoach pacer bundle comes with useful tools to track activities. It comes with a miCoach pacer, a heart rate monitor and a stride sensor. All together, these can give a clear idea of workout activity. Users also have the ability to share these stats across social networking sites, comparing and bragging to friends about how fit they are. 3. iPod Nano With the release of a software update last year, the iPod Nano is more of a workout tool than ever before.
provide motivation for finishing that last half-mile. The included FM tuner makes radio available to the MP3 player, allowing for greater music variety.

The Adidas miCoach has a free iPhone app to aid training.
A built-in accelerometer tracks steps taken and calories burned, and the Nano’s handy clip can attach to almost anything. Plus, a person’s favorite songs
4. A sports watch Getting down to the basics, a good sports watch is the easiest way to start tracking stats about an everyday routine. Some include a pedometer and distance calculator, while others boast heart rate monitors and a built-in GPS. The Nike+ SportWatch GPS is a great product that tracks time, distance, pace, heart rate and calories burned in addition to the GPS that keeps track of locations.

How to keep your beard fresh, clean, sharp Joey Groner Entertainment Writer
If you take a walk around the Quad or poke your head into almost any classroom, it won’t be long before you realize facial hair is making a big comeback. The problem is, many men new to beard growing don’t know how to take care of their newly acquired facial accessories. As a proud beard owner myself, the alarming number of overgrown, unwashed beards disturbs me. That’s why I’ve outlined a set of guidelines below for all beard owners to follow. 1. If you can’t grow a beard, don’t. The only thing worse than an overgrown beard is an undergrown one. Rather than coming off as manly, a feeble attempt at growing a
beard screams to everyone that you’re trying too hard. This epidemic seems to mostly affect freshmen. The problem is, a lot of guys aren’t capable of growing a proper beard at this time, so they wind up with an odd-looking hint of a mustache or a repulsive neck beard. Anyone I went to high school with could tell you I was a perpetrator of this rule, so learn from my mistake. If you can’t grow a beard now, just keep a clean-shaven face. Your time will come. 2. Don’t overgrow your beard. I understand the temptation to grow your beard to Gandalf-like proportions, and indeed, in places like a fantasy film, such a beard can look great. But let’s be realistic here. BEARDS, see page 14

Thrifty, healthy eats in walking distance Alibaba, others near campus Austen Krantz Entertainment Writer
Students looking to eat healthy around campus don’t have to worry about thinning out their wallets. A number of near- and on-campus locations offer filling but lower-cost meals for students to combat the “Freshman 15.” And although campus offers vegetables, fruits and lean protein foods in the 459 and The 5 dining halls, students can still find a variety of similar, affordable foods off campus as well. Some options on the border of campus include the West Chimes Street restaurant Alibaba Greek and
Lebanese Cafe’s chicken shawarma meal, which offers marinated chicken with chickpea-made hummus, salad, rice and pita bread. While the meal is priced at $7.95, it offers a filling, diverse meal on one plate. Students looking to grab an on-the-go filler or a tasty, cool drink can swing by Smoothie King on the corner of State Street and Highland Road. “Trim down” smoothies include fruit-flavored drinks with less than 300 calories, along with a multitude of “stay healthy” smoothies. Twenty-ounce smoothies cost just over $5. Students looking for healthy sandwich options have a number of locations to choose from near the University. Along with monthly $5 footlong sandwich deals, Subway on State street offers

roasted chicken or ham sandwiches for $3.50. State Street’s Pita Pit has healthy option pitas, like the veggie and hummus pitas, which run at about $6, while turkey and similar lean protein pitas run slightly more than $6. The store also has a spicy black bean pita for
$6.95. Qdoba on Burbank Drive and Atcha Bakery on Nicholson Drive both offer cheap eats with healthy twists for students willing to travel slightly farther off campus. Atcha sells gyro, chicken FOOD, see page 13

For a few weeks, we in Baton Rouge have “sprinter time,” a combination of spring and winter, when temperatures can range between 30 and 55 degrees as cold fronts pass over the river and sweep into the rest of the city. In the coming months, most would be happy to drape an ankle-length trench coat around the nape of their neck and wool and cashmere on the broad of their back, but we instead look confused by sprinting past winter straight to spring in suede knee boots with tank tops. But for good reason. In the morning, Jack Frost may nip at noses, but by noon it’s just about sizzling under your stylish tweed cropped
jacket or wool blend blazer. L e t ’s try a different pace. As I stroll through the Quad, I’ve seen plenty sights that could atAl Burks tract or Columnist repel attention.

College lifestyle, stress conducive to acne Diet influences breakouts Josh Naquin Entertainment Writer
The standardized tests and school assemblies are long gone, but for some University students, one aspect of high school life remains – acne. Acne plagues a majority of youths as they undergo puberty and transform into adults. Acne appears as the unfortunate side effect produced by the same hormones that spur physical maturation, according to acne.com. Despite the wishes of today’s youth, acne often persists after puberty is done. While this is often
due to biological factors, college life has been found to be conducive to blemishes for several reasons. College students often think about economic and caloric factors when shaping their diet, but those conscious of their complexion should take other factors into consideration. Acne.com advises students to watch their meat and dairy product intake, as American meat and dairy products often contain hormones and antibiotics which can cause bacteria and inflammation in the pores of the skin. “I try to stay away from snacking on too many processed or dairy foods,” said Kelly McCoy, kinesiology junior. Grooming and makeup products also act as a cata-
lyst for acne breakouts. Acne.com suggests limiting the amount of gels or hairsprays one uses, as they clog pores and cause acne if they come into contact with skin. Stress may be the biggest acne-causing factor for college students to overcome. According to acne. com, all types of stress trigger an inflammatory response in the body, which can lead the pores of the skin to break and form pimples. Combatting acne through careful decisions regarding diet, grooming products and stress is a good start, but for some it is not enough to ward off the skin disease. Topical creams are a popular line of defense against acne, but more
serious medications like Accutane are becoming more prevalent. While acne is a medical condition that may cause emotional and psychological harm, the Federal Drug Administration warns of possible side effects associated with acne treatments like Accutane. “I used Accutane and it worked well, but I had a friend encounter side effects while using it,” McCoy said. Regardless of acne treatment, careful choices can help cloudy complexions clear.

easy it is to wear. “There is a basic uniformity within fraternities, but everyone can wear what they please,” Morel said. Morel, who describes his style as simplistic, said men’s fashion is moving into a “neo-hippy era,” where most men wear beanies and skinny jeans.

Pellegrini said it is possible for every man to be fashionable on a daily basis. She said men should ditch the T-shirt and sweatpants look and try a bolder fashion alternative. “It’s not really a hard thing to do,” Pellegrini said. “A button-down with a shirt under it could be considered fashionable.” Contact David Jones at djones@lsureveille.com salads each contain lower calorie food ranging from $5 to almost $7. Qdoba also claims buying a naked burrito cuts 330 calories and 54 grams of carbohydrates from the meal.

trying to comprehend the atrocity of her bottom half. In no way can I imagine that outfit being fashionable, but if you wish for people to totally ignore your facial features, by all means help yourself to this look. What I do love to see is a whole look assembled with thought and complimentary color palettes. If you’re a brunette or honey-haired blonde with fair or brown skin tone, try a jewel-toned hat, head wrap or hoodie that would seriously compliment stonewashed fitted jeans with neutral or black fringe boots and matching jean or twill vest. If you’re more of the preppy type, a nice unisex look would be a casually sophisticated Ralph Lauren striped button-through shirt, paired with a lovely
classic-fit dark denim and top-sider shoe or moccasin. This look is especially great for ladies, with a slightly fitted cap sleeve or quarter-length-sleeved sweater so you can get through your day in the city without feeling suffocated by the afternoon. A nice fruit-colored crew neck cardigan could accompany a peanut butter messenger bag quite smoothly through the hallways, with the ease of knowing Blue Bayou won’t be dripping underneath your armpit. Spring is either approaching soon or months down the line. I can never really tell, but I hope these pointers help you stay on the appropriate side of the style line.

Think about what a prospective employer sees when you walk into an interview with a chest-length beard. Chances are you won’t walk out of the office with that job.

must be cared for and loved, or else it will be your worst nightmare. The best way to take care of a beard is daily shampooing. If you’re really serious about your beard upkeep, conditioning doesn’t hurt either. A twice-daily brushing is also a good way to keep your beard from getting out of control. It’s best to do this directly after a morning shower and before going to bed.

Your beard will probably only grow fully in certain sections around your mid-face and under your chin, but will continue to trail down your neck or up your face.
