Idaho students were geared to go. Rugged hills and icy, gravel-covered paths forced almost everyone to wear sensible clothing. Granola hiking books, preppy duck shoes, or kicky cowboy boots allowed students to express their individual styles and still keep their traction. Students kept the cold out with leather jackets or water-repellent coats in colors such as lime, magenta, and navy. The rugged wore open-work crochet sweaters in open defiance of the Palouse winds. The truly rugged continued to wear shorts in December. Long hair and short, short bobs were seen on both men and women. Women wore leggings under skirts and sweaters and both men and women stepped out in pegged jeans or pleated pants.
