Students, teac. tiers and administrators admin-istrators are usually well aware ol the policies, but often students ma' be templed to focus on f ads 1 1 wt . a( ( i irding t o t he code, att ract improx-r attention to the individual individ-ual and sometimes interfere with the educational process. hach school administration within the district tends to interpret inter-pret the dress code a little dif fer-' fer-' entlv. but trie spirit of the policy is that clothing, hair and accessories do not interfere with the educational educa-tional process or endanger the student tjody. Another part of the dress code includes no prof anity-Vulgarity and no cl'rthing or paraphernalia referring to or promoting alcohol, tolwcco. dr ugs, violence or sexual harassment . 'ITus means no .Joe Came! or Spuds MacKenzie shirts or other graphic T-shirts and sports shirts violating the cxle. Other problems with shirts are bar e arms or lare midrif fs. Willi Wil-li w creek Middle Scl tool's policy slates. "No bare midrif f s. Shirts. dr esses, and blouses must have sleeves thai cover shoulders and underarms." "Dress code violations are usually usu-ally worse in the spring." Open-sliaw Open-sliaw said about the often skimpy outerwear. Here are a few reminders to help the ck)tlx;s-buying process go more quickly: I Boy s canrx A wear muscle T-sliirts. Girls, no spaghetti-strap sun dresses, tank -tops or short shirts. Try layering tank tops under or over T-shirts for a more appropriate eff ect. I Shorts and skirts can sometimes some-times be kxj short. Shorts and skirts should be much closer to t lie knees than the hips. A popular test is if the wearer is standing with good posture with the arms relaxed at 'he side, the fingertips should not be able to touch the thigh. Capri's, Bermudas and knee-length or longer skirts are in: short shorts and ultra rnini skirts are out. I Another problem with shorts, skirts, and pants is the low riding or low rise. "No displaying of any undergarment," states the policy. For girls the new trend is low rise jeans. This creates two problems. The midriff is often bare and undergarments often show with low -rise pants. For boys, no sagging sag-ging and bagging. I Found a cool hit or bandanna? bandan-na? Don't wear it to school. The policy reads "No hats, bandannas, or other types of head covering worn in the building" I Finally, the policy says there should be no "displaying of colors col-ors or symbols associated with gangs."" For more inf ormation on the dress code or other student policies, poli-cies, refer to the Alpine School District Web site. www.aJ.pine. k 12 ut us and after checking in as a student or parent go into "About ASD" and click on "district policy ." A search for the category student policies under rules and regulations will bring up the dress code under "Standards of Dress and Q"wming." If a student wears inappropriate inappropri-ate clothing, there are several options. "We wiU visit with them. They can cover up with a sweater or change if it is needed." Openshaw said. "Sometimes we will have parents bring a change of clothes. But I don't have a bright colored T-shirt, like some principals have, that says 'My aajinunistrator loves me.' We don't embarrass them. This doesn't show them the respect re-spect we want them to learn" Fortunately, he said the dress code doesn't get violated all that 'often Agency is modeling diversity Sarah Bills V 'i irr! i mi Ii. she s nut generally consid-. consid-. i r. i.iii niuiigt; in In- ,1 ruiiw ay model.

"We are filling a need in the industry by providing models of all different ethnic backgrounds" she said. confidence," Sam said. Her vision is huge, she said, with plans to open similar agencies throughout the nation and the world that represent all ethnicities and ages. She trains models for three categories: cat-egories: runway, commercial and fitness. But, visions like that come at a cost. Ezzi Alahwal, a UVSC junior from Yemen Ye-men who manages the agency, said the company started from scratch with just himself and Sam training models, managing manag-ing the business and presiding over the company. Sam even quit her job in order to devote her time to the agency. She said she is seeking a loan, but right now, the agency's funding comes out of her own pocket. Chinyere International doesn't charge models an entry fee like most agencies, she said but models will return 20 percent of their earnings to the agency. "It s a bit tough, but I can see the great pxential in the people we have," Chinyere said. "I believe that if I give them all the necessary training and invest in-vest in them, they will go out and I strongly believe they will produce quality work." Murielle Mobere, 44. from Haiti, Sam's assistant as-sistant said she's seen Sam's training work on her 13-year-old daughter, who looks like a professional after only one month of tutelage. Moliere said she's confident that Chinyere Internal ional will continue to grow in success and in size. It's a dream coming true for Sam, who said she hopes landing the commercial with UPN will help make potential clients aware of all of their ethnicities. The agency also plans to develop their clientele and make producers and directors aware of their presence in part through holding a spring and fall fashion show each year. for city celebration Joyce Gunther Opportunities to help with Lindon Days abound, and compensation com-pensation is icing on the cake.
