Changes in consumerism are just aa hard to figure It was the year of the Jacksons: Jesse Michael and Bo The movie industry ran out of ideas and sequela so they have had to raid the comic books for Batman and the upcoming Dick Tracy and Jetaons movies In a strange twist USA Today became a television show based on a newspaper that was based on television Consumers faced with media reports of the hazards of everyday life made some seemingly Revolutionary Humor Columnist issues Clothing sizing is useless By Dennis Hinkamp Consumer Information Writer Utah State University It’s an old joke that “as I get older my clothes shrink” However you may be experiencing exactly the opposite circumstances in your ckxhcs closet Even if you have gained a little weight you probably wear the same size and if you have maintained your weight you may even wear a smaller size than you did 10 years ago My own closet is full of an assortment of small medium and larges of what arc basically all the same type and fit of shirt Women tell me their sizes are similarly unpredictable It’s hard to believe but there arc sizing standards set up by the National Bureau of Standards but they are only suggested standards says Ruth Clayton clothing specialist in the Utah State University College of Life Family Clayton says there is no way to force manufacturers to use them Every company knows what these standards are but it is a matter of how they use them interpretation “Most companies have a target market they shoot for This means there is a certain type or build of person they manufacture their ckxhcs for This is why a size lOdressofone brand may not fit the same way a size 10 of another brand docs” called “size deflation” over the years Clayton says A size 10 in 1960 might be called a six now Since different brands have changed their sizes varying amounts a woman might wear anything from a size six to a size 12 depending from whom she buys She speculates that size deflation has taken place for psychological reasons Clothing manufacturers can use this ploy to help convince people they can wear smaller sizes than they used to Or that they can wear the same size even though they have gained weight The recent “big look” trend and the trend toward small medium and for sizing used in large designation has made choosing the sportswear correct size even more confusing she says All this size variation comes at a time when catalog sales are booming She says fortunately most catahave liberal return log companies policies Most also provide a sizing chart that tells you in inches what the sizes mean Help CUFS help Cljylon says She says there arc even size variations within brands That is two dresses from the same manufacturer may not fit the same even if they are both labeled size 10 This can hapin pen due to slight imperfections the construction process There has also been something Central Utah Food Sharing Inc provides for the emergency food needs of Millard County residents In addition to food grooming and toiletry items are needed at the CUFS food bank If vou’d like to help call by Comrade Ken Rand Today’s column is about typical common routine ordinary dull everyday stuff that nobody care diddly about anyway so if you want to go away and take a nap glue your nostril together or iron your socks if okay HI probably just ramble on and on and on ad infinitum and ad nauseam (Yawn) Nothing important No biggie Ho hum So on and so forth Etc Blah blah blah zzzzzzz Good! You still with me? Comrades sympathizers secular humanist and other fellow travworkers’ elers! The day of the paradise is almost at hand! Our plot to liberate the teeming toiling masses of workers and peasant downtrodden beneath the oppressive bootheel of reactionary US imperialist aggressors and their lackey running dog stooges moves forward! Long live the People’s Republic of Soviet Utah! Long live the Long live Lenin! of Proletariat! the Dictatorship point! Long live the exclamation We no longer have to use code in this column to communicate with our propagandists provocateurs saboteur and other socialist brother and sister agents in the f eld No longer will we have to say “Provo” when we mean “Moscow” or “BYU” when we mean “KGB” or the “Osmonds” when we mean “Castro” or “go figure when we mean “blow up another school bus” How did this come about? From the start we struggled to liberate this column from bourgeois readers so that we might communicate openly We systematically insulted the capitalists most revered institutions making tacky references to BYU (the the Provo Herald Republican politics (president Shrubbery) green jello country and western music (an Fo“Wheel of and oxymoron) rtune” We have now alienated everybody but you and me The effort has been aided unwittingly (pun intended) by the preoccupations of many readers themselves That preoccupation intense than the typical desire to obtain a really crunchy breakfast cereal dishwashing liquid or snuggly soft toilet tissue In Billiard County northside and southside resident bicker constantly with each other A recent decision to merge the two roach abatement county’s districts has citizen up in arms Ditto a move to build a polo grounds on the southside and a separate decision to build a statue to Bugs Bunny on the northside a recent meeting I observed during which flame throwers were checked at the door I came away enlightened by the knowledge of how many racquetball courts can be built on the head of a is more American pin Despite valiant efforts neither has cornered the market on pettiness How arrogant it is for one side to claim to be les arroThat gant than the opposite always make me feel good Some have determined that the newspaper is in favor of the other Reside whatever that means member the Smothers Brothers “Mom always liked you best” routine? many readers have Anyway quit reading the column because they are so preoccupied reading about people they love to hate freedom to Our communicate may give rise to the belief that now we can tell the I would cauto we want truth if tion against that The problem is in order to tell the truth we must first determine what it is I would also caution against premature plans for an invasion The deer hunt is coming up soon and these people are armed to the teeth Finally you should be prepared for a return to coded entries in this column Readers know I’m a Wyoming fan If BYU wins the WAC they'll start reading the column again to see if I eat crow That’s all for this week Next week details on how we will infiltrate and subvert the PTA 4H FHA and FFA side You and Your Child: Success in School by JIM CAMPBELL Utah Education Association President Dian Thomas Utah’s “First Lady of Creativity” will be a feature speaker at the Utah EducaConvention tion Association’s Thursday October 12 at 2:45 pm in the Salt Palace Assembly Hall Ms Thomas whose appearances on the Phil Donahue Show Good Morning America and Johnny Carson Show has provided her a national audience will direct her comments to the classroom teacher “There is no greater calling than that of a teacher I’ll have something for every teacher at my session And of course I want to be available for questions” she said “In fact I’ll be sharing many of the ideas that I present on my “Home weekly ABC television Show” Ms Thomas as author and former classroom teacher is a consultant for such Fortune 500 companies as Kraft Foods Dow Chemical and Proctor and Gamble “We’re excited at having Ms Thomas addressing our teachers” Jim says UEA President Campbell “If she can in some way lighten the load of our teachand in some way enhance the ers education of our young people she will have played a major role” he continued Over 50 education professional groups and their members will hold their meetings during the two days of UEA Over 400 exhibit booths will be open both days at the Salt Palace REC continued refundable or not Subcon tractors have incurred expenses There is also a clause in the contract coverthat ing “anticipated profits must be figured into a buyout Sfyler said that figure could go from $50000 to $150000 “We got to adding it up and felt like there would be a minimum of $ 100000 lost if the project were to be stopped” Sfyler said “with the possibility of that cost coming close to $200000” The commission relied for their action on state statute which defines rights powers and authority granted special service districts The law also says the governing body that created the district can with certain exceptions limit those powers which is what the commission did in revoking the Board’s authority to spend Commissioner JerTS Brinker-hof- f said the Board was asked to provide an accounting of their “We want to know how asset much money is coming into them and how much they are paying out” he said “and we want to see their budget" All new hiring by the Board would have to be approved by the commission “We decided that if we were going to look at all their operations” Sfyler said “that was one area we needed to look at too” The commission is also watching a state legislative study of That special service districts study is expected to result in legislation during the next session to designed tighten accountability of districts ”1 think that we ought to look closely at our special service districts” Sfyler said “Maybe what’s good for one is good for all of them” JAAMEETING jJ v A 7 J 2 A SCHEDULE ?
