Anyone who has watchedBravo at some point has seen theoverly dramatic Jeff Lewis withhis passion for interior design orsupermodel Heidi Klum with herrunway expertise.

Recently, UK design stu-dents mastered both elements at“Product Runway,” anInternational Interior DesignAssociation competition held inLouisville on Oct. 20.

Students in the InteriorDesign Student Association atUK competed against 15 otherteams and brought back twoawards — first place and the DaVinci award.

Helen Turner, an instructor

in UK’s interior design schooland director of IDSA, describedProduct Runway as a “nation-wide annual event, in whichinterior designers are given theopportunity to express their tal-ents beyond the professionaloffice environment.”

To participate, a firm ispaired with a manufacturer ofinterior finish materials, Turnersaid.

“We formed a design teamwithin the university,” Turnersaid. “Then they’re paired with amanufacturer and can only usethe materials they provide.”

Turner said weeks of designand fabrication culminate with afashion show of each team’s gar-ment being modeled on a run-way in front of a panel of judges.

Apparently, that panel favoredUK’s team.

“A Dress to AddressDisaster” received the Da Vinciaward, given to the team that bestshowcased its design concept,

Turner said. “The design is intended to

communicate an individual’sphysical and emotional responseto a disaster,” Turner said of “A

A team to be fearedUK Hoops toughens up

PHOTOS BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFFHead coach John Calipari said freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will likely be a starter.

Get ready, health gurus — Jamba Juice willopens its doors near campus in December.

“We hope the public sees us as a way to growa healthy lifestyle by inspiring and simplifying,”said Don Marquess, owner of the new Lexingtonbranch of Jamba Juice, a smoothie franchise thatspecializes in a healthy lifestyle for its customers.

Jamba Juice will be complete when studentsare let out for the semester, but the smoothie shopis postponing its grand opening until January,when the spring semester starts.

A soft opening with events for family andfriends will be in early December. All the detailsof the grand opening are still being discussed.

“I didn’t know (a Jamba Juice) was opening inLexington, but now that I do I’m really excited forit,” said Mae Seay, a psychology junior. “It’s agreat place to get a smoothie.”

On top of providing fresh smoothies, JambaJuice will be the first branch to provide frozen yo-gurt to customers.

Jamba Juice in Lexington aims to get involvedin the community and start lunch programs atschools in the area, Marquess said.

Marquess owns the franchise rights for JambaJuice in Kentucky, Southern Indiana and SouthernOhio and is deciding to use this branch to providenot only smoothies, but snacks and food during theday.

The shop will replace the recently closed J.Gumbos on South Limestone.

Students will be able to use UK Plus accountsat the branch. Marquess hopes it will “generatesome excitement” at the university.

Another Lexington location is schedued toopen in spring 2012 at Fayette Mall.

“The healthy lifestyle that Jamba helps deliveris something important and missing in Lexington,”Marquess said.

After much anticipation from both fans andplayers, the Cats were able to play someone otherthan themselves in an exhibition game againstTransylvania Wednesday at Rupp Arena. The Catscame out on top of a 97-53 final score, shooting59.1 percent from the floor.

Transy started off on top with junior guardBarrett Meyer scoring the team’s first five pointsearly in the game, but UK answered with an 13-0run to take the lead 17-11.

The Pioneers were playing fast with the guardsfrom the start, hustling on both sides of the courtwhile playing fearless defense and drawing fouls.

“We approached this game as a way to try tohelp the University of Kentucky get ready forthose early games in the season,” Transylvaniahead coach Brian Lane said. “There was not an in-tent at any time to come in and think we were go-ing to win the game.”

Lane said the goal was to provide offensivestrategies that UK will likely see throughout theseason.

The Cats, finally getting a chance to compete,were performing defensive strategies, but there isstill room for adjustment. They were pressing, butoften lost men on all sides of the court, allowingthe Pioneers to find an open man on the perimeter.

“We have a long way to go. I think everyoneknows it,” UK head coach John Calipari said.“We’ve got a couple guys that play with great in-tensity. They’re going to have to spend a lot oftime on the court.”

Cats beat neighbor Transy

97-53 in exhibition

Sophomore forward Terrence Jones said alternating todifferent roles “with so many different good playersaround you” wasn’t easy in the Cats’ first game.

Transylvania wasn’t the teamthat started the opening exhibitiongame slow after its long, arduous0.4-mile walk from its campus toRupp Arena. It was UK.

Transylvania jumped to a 5-0lead in the first 1:49, promptingUK head coach John Calipari tocall his first timeout of the youngseason.

“I was hoping the powerwould go out,” Transylvania head

coach Brian Lane said, “so wecould spend a little more timewith that lead.”

They did, kind of, as theywere still within one point after12 minutes.

“We thought we were goingto win by 100,” Calipari said. “Iwas so happy the game was close(early). It’s a teaching tool. It’s achance for me to tell them, look,they’re a good team, but they’reDivision III. Come on.”

Even the opposing coach wasusing the game as a teaching toolfor UK.

“Elevate,” a documentary about four high-school basketball players from Senegal strug-gling to make it to American college teamsand then the NBA, may not have the depth of“Hoop Dreams,” but it is an engaging look atyouthful ambition and cross-cultural connec-tions.

Aziz N’Diaye, Assane Sene, Papa Mede-thie “Dethie” Fall, and Byago Diouf are ath-letes who know each other from Dakar butend up in schools in Connecticut and Illinoisand, at least in terms of what director AnneBuford shows us, had a relatively easy transi-tion. The students, teachers, and coaches seemto like them and their relatives and friendsback home all wish them the best.

Even when they run into problems — aplayer realizing he’s not as good as he shouldbe because he started playing basketball as ateenager; or getting a B in French — it hardly

seems like the end of the world.Only when it looks as if one of the players

may not get a U.S. visa does “Elevate” hint atturmoil.

While the players, all Muslim, are shownavoiding pork on menus, their religion didn’tseem to be a source of conflict either.

But each of these guys is so likable youcan’t help but get caught up in their story androot for them despite the lack of major drama.

Amadou Gallo Fall, a Senegalese playerwho now works for the NBA but formerly wasa scout and president of international affairsfor the Dallas Mavericks, makes a brief ap-pearance. He founded the SEEDS (Sports forEducation and Economic Development inSenegal) Foundation, through which the fourplayers were discovered.

“It is inevitable that enor-mously growing numbers ofpeople across the globe willbe adversely affected by natu-ral or man-made disasters andthus in need of humanitarianaid,” Crimm said.

Crimm hopes this confer-ence sheds light on some ofthe unseen hindrances to inter-

national aid.“There are numerous

complexities behind such de-livery of disaster relief aidthat usually is not clear frommedia reports,” Crimm said.“The lack of that insight al-lows people to wonder whythe delivery of aid is not con-sistently a smooth, fast andefficacious process.”

Crimm is the second Las-siter Distinguished VisitingProfessor. Lassiter professors

are expected to teach a courseand hold topical conferenceseach year regarding law.

Crimm has published nu-merous books regarding theFirst Amendment and is high-ly knowledgeable about non-profit organizations.

ontapPardon the Interlude:Low attendance can’tstop Avett Brothers

It couldn’t have been abigger relief when the AvettBrothers took the stage atRupp Arena last Thursday.

Sure, I was super pumpedto finally get to see the amaz-ingly progressive band that’stoo unique to call pop andtoo modern to call bluegrass.However, the real relief ofseeing the standing bass andbanjo appear on stage res-onated with the fact that Jes-sica Lea Mayfield, the open-ing act, was long gone. Andeven though I’m partial torather melancholy tunes, I didnot find her strung-out voiceappropriate as an opening actfor such a high strung, feet-stomping band.

But being the glass half-full kind of girl that I am, Ijust heavily sipped on myoverpriced alcoholic beveragein hopes that the whiskeywould slowly numb my mu-sical standards.

Luckily for my liver, and

my sanity, the boys gracious-ly took the stage and kickedoff the show with plenty ofboot stepping and banjoplucking. Their sound ex-ploded across the disappoint-ingly empty arena, liveningup the mood with their shout-ed harmonies and catchylyrics.

Soon after, the stage wentblack and the band vanisheduntil the loud click of a spot-light echoed throughout thefading chants that yearnedfor more. Then the simplelight shone on the stage, illu-minating pieces of dust danc-ing on the air, which wassoon accompanied by thepresence of both Seth andScott Avett.

The brother’s duet fea-tured the ever popular andequally enjoyable song,“When I Drink.”

Seth’s no-fuss voice easilyventured its way into theopening lyrics of the song,welcoming Scott to join himon the guitar. With compli-menting strums on guitars, andthe occasional comical blurbof harmony from Seth, it wasclear that these boys havehearts that could fill any voicein any semi-empty arena.

KERNEL POP!

In celebration of Diwali, the Hindu “festival oflight,” the Indian Student Association will illumi-nate the Singletary Center like never before.

The event, Diwali Dhoom, is a 10-actshow blending traditional Indian influencesand dance with modern pop music. Thespectacle is a chance for the UK communi-ty to experience the vibrant Indian culture,ISA President Ravi Mahajan said.

“We hope that it (the event) increasescultural awareness on campus,” Mahajansaid.

The light surrounding Diwali signifiesthe victory of good over evil. Each day ofthe festival marks a significant story involv-ing the Hindu gods. The light that prevailsrepresents one’s inner light and higherawareness. During the Diwali festival, thisinternal flame materializes in fireworks,sparklers and oil lamps.

But the Singletary Center does not permitthe use of pyrotechnics. Instead, flickeringLED candles will light the auditorium and afew performances will slip in a fog machine.

The lineup includes Bollywood-inspireddance routines, a cover band and an unprece-

dented performance from a Korean hip-hopgroup. Guests from the University

of Louisville, University of Cincinnati and WrightState University will also perform.

Three bands will take the stage, includingKoshish, a Bollywood-influenced group of UK stu-dents. Sonam Chourasia is a master’s student inbiomedical engineering and the lead vocalist ofKoshish.

“It’s all traditional music from India, but we’remaking it entirely our own by adding new guitarsand drums,” Chourasia said.

The band’s music also incorporates the tabla, atraditional Indian drumthat makes a variety ofunique sounds whenstruck with differentparts of the hand.Through Koshish’s fu-sion of traditionalsounds with moderninstruments, its musictouches a wider audi-ence, Chourasia said.

“Different kinds ofpeople can relate to our music,” Chourasia said.“And we love doing it.”

Diwali officially took place last week, and dur-ing that time, many of the Indian students from UKtried to recreate the traditions they have at home.Chourasia has been in the U.S. for three years, andspending Diwali away from India is a difficult ad-justment, she said.

“We actually did feel homesick,” Chourasiasaid. “So we decorated our homes with lighting, weworshipped our gods and asked all of our friends tocome over for dinner so we could celebrate togeth-er.”

And this is what Diwali Dhoom is about: the In-dian student community opening its arms to thesurrounding Lexington community, as the festivalin India is about welcoming guests into one’s home.

“Diwali is about meeting people, so studentsshould come to Diwali Dhoom,” Chourasia said.“We would welcome you.”

The marathon of Bollywood music and glowingperformances will be followed by a traditional Indi-an dinner, catered by Shalimar Indian Restaurant inLouisville. Expect aromatic curries, fluffy slabs ofnaan bread and mounds of aromatic basmati rice.

After digesting the whirlwind of culture that theevening will showcase, Majahan hopes that guestswill walk away with a new “enlightenment” of In-dia.

“It’s a chance for people to come experience In-dian culture, and it’s a celebration of our campus’diversity,” Mahajan said.

Getting up in the morn-ing, writing a research paperand delivering a speech areactivities that are typicallydreaded. UK women’s bas-ketball head coach MatthewMitchell wants to add the taskof playing his team to thatlist.

“We focus on beingtough, tenacious and as coachsays all the time, being dread-ed,” preseason All-SEC guardA’dia Mathies said at the SECMedia Days in Birmingham,Ala., last week.

“We’re trying to be thetoughest, most dreaded, scari-est team in the country,” saidsenior UK Hoops guard Key-la Snowden. “We want to beso disciplined that we do nottake a possession off.”

Two years ago, with aseven-to-eight player rotation,the Cats employed an up-tem-po, full-court pressing style ofplay, forcing almost 23turnovers per game en routeto a 28-8 record and an EliteEight appearance.

“It is really tough to pre-pare to play that way,”Mitchell said about the team’sstyle of play.

Now he is trying to instillthat same tough-nosed ap-proach to a deeper and poten-tially more talented roster ofplayers, comprised partiallyof two consecutive top-10 re-cruiting classes. There is actu-ally a concern that enoughminutes may not be availablefor all the talent at Mitchell’sdisposal.

“We have 15 playersnow,” Mathies said. “Myfreshman year we were reallyonly playing eight, so it is a

big difference.”In terms of the team’s

depth, Mitchell said, “I haven’tbeen in this position before.”

“It doesn’t matter if youare a senior or a freshman,”he said. “It matters what youdo when you show up on thecourt every day and practice.”

The Cats’ defense forced24 turnovers a game last yearand averaged 5.9 steals and4.4 blocks per game.

“You’re not going to playif you don’t play defense,”Mitchell said. “That is some-

thing we try to make veryclear early on. If you don’tbuy into that, there are enoughpeople on the team that willand you will get left behind.”

Mitchell has a deep tal-ent-laden team that he hopeswill push itself to becomebetter each day in practice.

“You can’t survive here ifyou’re not in to hard work,”he said.

“There’s a lot of rewardsto coming here, but it’s notthe easiest place in the coun-try to play.”

Mitchell: UK Hoopsaims to be ‘dreaded’

Players focus on being tough, disciplined

PHOTO BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFFGuard Keyla Snowden, shown in this photo from a Feb. 24 gameagainst Arkansas, said UK is trying to be the “toughest, mostdreaded, scariest team in the country.”

Lane said, in perhaps the first-ever in-stance a coach straight-up said his teamentered the game with a zero percenthope of winning.

UK ended up blowing the Pioneersout 97-53, but those first few minuteswere a reality check. Guard Doron Lambsaid the team came out “nonchalant.”

“It let us know it’s not going to be aseasy as we thought it would,” guard Mar-quis Teague said. “We expected to comein from the first half and be up 30.”

Not because this team is overconfi-dent. It’s so easy to get carried away af-ter watching the defense-optional BigBlue Madness and Blue-White scrim-mage. UK had looked in mid-seasonform before the regular season had evenbegun.

UK’s slow start Wednesday provid-ed perspective. Calipari said his team isyoung every year, and this year is nodifferent. It’s easy to discard those linesbecause he’s proven so adept at gettinga young roster running smoothly early,but they’re still true.

This team has only been a team fora few weeks now. Even during thoseweeks, players were split up. Someguys, such as Terrence Jones and An-thony Davis, have only played witheach other a few practices.

So yes, there was a lack of cohe-siveness early.

“We just weren’t on the same pagesometimes,” Teague said. “Defensively,we were breaking down. They weregetting open looks. Offensively, wewere discombobulated at times. Just a

little confused.”Yes, this team still has to figure out

how to impose its will. UK had a mas-sive height advantage. The kind of ad-vantage where, to prepare for Davis’length, Lane held a broom over hishead and made players shoot over it.

UK didn’t post up as much as itshould have. Teague acknowledgedthat, and so did Calipari.

“Here we are with a big height ad-vantage, and five of our first six shotswere threes,” Calipari said. “That’swhat happens when you have youngguys or guys playing without that fire.You settle.”

Did the problems concern Calipari?“It’s always alarming to me,” Cali-

pari said. “I’m an alarmist. Is that aword?”

It is for him, but it doesn’t mean thisgame should create panic. In no wayshould this game cast doubt on UK’sability to work through these areas ofconcern; it just served as a reminder thatyes, young teams have their issues tofigure out at a young juncture in the sea-son. UK will certainly figure them out.It did last season, and it will again thisseason, probably sooner than later.

Especially now that players willstart playing together more often.Teague said he felt the chemistry im-proving in the second half and expectsthat to continue.

But for now, UK isn’t perfect.“The good news is everybody in

this building saw it,” Calipari said.“Anybody that watched it on TV sawit.”

We saw it. But we’ll also see UKkeep improving as the season comescloser.

SMITHContinued from page 1

drive and multiple difficultieswith mismatches, the players areaware that they have some ad-justments and improvements tomake in order to successfullycompete this season.

“Every freshman was proba-bly the best player on theirteam,” sophomore forward Ter-rence Jones said. “(They) shotmajority of the shots, and nowyou gotta alternate to differentroles playing with so many dif-ferent good players around you.It’s not as easy as it seems.”

The adjustment isn’t comingas a shock for the freshmen,though.

“For them to be that smallthey played really aggressive andphysical without big guys,”freshman guard Marquis Teaguesaid. “At first we were havingtrouble posting them, but theywere really physical with theguards all night.”

But this game doesn’t counttoward the season and UK waslooking at Wednesday as a wayto come together and play as ateam for the first time.

“It was fun to actually get tocompete against other teams andall (of) us to play together for thefirst time,” Teague said.

Five of the Cats walked awayfrom the exhibition game withdouble-digit points. Jones fin-ished with 22 points and 12 re-

bounds. Seniorguard DariusMiller countedfor 10 points andfive rebounds.Sophomore guardDoron Lamb end-ed with 19 pointsto close out thegame while fresh-men MarquisTeague and for-ward MichaelKidd-Gilchris tdebuted with 14and 19 points, re-spectively.

Calipari saidthat Kidd-Gilchrist, judgingfrom Wednesdaynight, would like-ly be a starter forUK. Since theCats did start offslow he changedthe attitudes of the players topick them up and have them playmore aggressively and with moreintensity.

“He plays just like DeAndre(Liggins). He is a great playerand dug deep,” Lamb said. “Heplayed good off the bench mak-ing shots and playing defense.”

Freshman forward AnthonyDavis had eight blocks to end thegame, most of which occurredwhile Transy players were at-tempting three-point shots, andthis is something that is to be ex-pected from Davis as the seasonprogresses.

In regard to possibility guardStacey Poole may transfer fromthe program in the next week,Calipari said, “We don’t haveany roster changes, so there’snothing to talk about right now.”

The official “Year of Chi-na” logo is a single red staragainst a yellow backdrop,with just a few of its red dotsmissing.

One possible interpreta-tion of this logo is that Chinais becoming “less red,” turn-ing away from its Communistpast while remaining a stablestate. There is also an invert-ed version of the logo, withan equally weak yellow starframed by a red background.“Awaken the past, discoverthe future” serves as the Yearof China tagline, featured onlecture programs and semi-popular (free) T-shirts. Al-though the University ofKentucky attracts significant-ly fewer international stu-dents than many other largecolleges, they do exist. Whilethe “Year of China” is thefirst time the entire campushas focused its attention on

this country, the opening ofPanda Express at the StudentCenter marks the primaryAsia-related economic eventof the year. Still, there ap-pears growing recognitionthat both Chinese traditionand the contemporary culturalmilieu deserve study.

Professor Jeff Wasser-strom’s keynote lecture re-flected that shift. The publicseminar, titled “China and theAmerican Imagination: Fromthe Days of the Boxer Risingto the Age of the Internet,”traced a modern Chinese nar-rative recounted through adistinctly American perspec-tive. Wasserstrom tended toemphasize difference in hisremarks, differences withinthe interchange of Americanand global pop culture andthe Chinese experience. Chi-nese people may appropriatefrom the West, he acknowl-edged, but they do so withoriginality and over an un-even geographical distribu-

tion. So a popular Chinesesocial media site, Renren, isat least a little different thanthe banned Facebook. Point-edly, Wasserstrom noted thatRenren makes a request forinformation that the Americanversion does not: blood type.Apparently blood type indi-cates dating compatibility, ina cultural tradition Wasser-strom said derives from Japanand Korea. This is a clear ex-ample of difference betweencultures existing within famil-iar social media sites. As inStudent Protests in 20th-cen-tury China, Wasserstrom alsoreferenced similarity withinmulti-stranded experience. Heconcluded with the approachof both the Chinese andAmerican states to publicprotest. Similarity, not same-ness, best describes the statereactions to the inklings of a“Jasmine Revolution” and,say, Occupy Wall Street.

As there is more than oneversion of the “Year of Chi-

na” logo, there might also bemore than one aesthetic inter-pretation. On campus, I positthe “Year of China” logomight reflect a residual suspi-cion of “Red China,” project-ing measured cheerfulness

that China could becomemore like us. It certainlywould not represent the firsttime UK turned a jaundicedeye toward the expansion ofcultural knowledge. But itsdisintegrating and pointillistred star could invite anotherinterpretation. While ques-

tioning China’s commitmentto full-scale “Communism” ismore than understandable to-day, the disappearance of thered dots might suggest some-thing other than disunity ortrending toward market capi-talism. Red in Chinese cul-ture also signifies wealth,happiness and fecundity, asWasserstrom indicated. Uni-versity public relations offi-cials likely do not mean toimply Chinese depressionthrough their graphic design.But for interest in China to bemeaningful, spreading knowl-edge of the various culturalback stories must becomepart of the project. For now,the inclination toward studyin middle America serves assource of a guarded opti-mism.

There I was, sitting at mycomputer during my shift inthe Underground FitnessCenter at 11:59, mouse hov-ering over the word ‘Regis-tration,’ ready to click. Callme a dork, but I’ve learnedthrough trial and error thatregistration day at UK is oneof the few days you have tobe on your game.

As the large clock on thewall ticked ever so loudlyand slowly, a multitude ofthoughts passed through myeager head. I pondered the

plethora of other faces, justlike mine, simultaneouslystaring at the screen, eachhoping that this will be thesemester — this will be thesemester where they get theteacher they want. They willbe challenged and they willlearn and they will excel.Yes, so many other handsgingerly gripping the mouse,just like mine, anxiouslyawaiting those last seconds totick down.

Boom. My eyes flewback to the screen. Good,the computer hadn’t crashed.Boom. Already another sec-ond? My, that was a quickone. Boom. I wonder whatI’m going to have for lunch?Boom. Wow that guy’s abeast. Boom. Oh wait, itsbeen 12:00 for like two sec-

onds now. My fingers automatically

react to the briefly panickedneurons slashing through mybrain. “Click.” I wait. AndI wait. And I wait.

The clock on the comput-er changes to 12:01. Hmm. Iponder, this is taking ratherlong to load. No worries, Itell myself, there’s clearlymore people on the networkright now than usual.

Another minute passes.Then another. Then another.It’s 12:04 and I’m still star-ing at an unloaded page. Myeyes narrow. My pulsequickens. My body tenses.

Its 12:11 now and I slammy fist against the desk.“Those pesky honors kidshave probably all registeredby now!” I silently scream.

“They’re all smiling and hap-py and going on with theirdays, knowing that spring willbe their best semester yet!”

As for me, it’s 12:25 andmy limp body lies sweatyand cold under the pale light,completely decimated and ut-terly defeated.

By this time I’ve hit therefresh button approximately13,000 times to no avail. Mybrain turns on its desperationmode. ‘Get out of here!’ itscreams. I comply.

“I’ve got to go register!”I plead with my boss. “Can Icome back in 10 minutes?”

Thankfully, she consent-ed, and I dashed over toWilly T to see if my luckwould fare better there.

Luckily, it did, and some-how I still managed to sign

up for many of my topchoices. I returned to workboth overjoyed and exhaust-ed. This had definitely beenthe hardest I’ve ever workedto register for classes.

For many students, how-ever, their tale did not endquite so happily. I later re-ceived an email from theHonors senior academic co-ordinator asking students tobe patient; she had more than100 emails from those whowere not able to register suc-cessfully. Apparently thesystem had indeed crashed,leaving many unhappy stu-dents in its wake.

And so I ask the govern-ing forces of UK’s registrationsystem, why? It was no secretthat registration was to beginfor many students yesterday.

It was no secret that the sys-tem was going to be at full ca-pacity around noon. It’s hap-pened many years before.

So how were we not pre-pared for it? Many preparedand tuition-paying studentsare now out of luck simplybecause they chose thewrong place on campus toregister for classes.

But what’s done is done,and there’s no reconcilingthis misfortunate incident.The only thing to do is to bebetter prepared next timearound, so sprinting andsweating can be replaced bya simple “click.”

Dress to Address Disaster,”which was created by a teamof nine UK interior design stu-dents and was sponsored byTeknion, a workstation manu-facturer. Materials includedlaminates, acrylics, black meshor Velcro and white leather.

“We were trying to showan initial destruction … kindof like a rubble pile,” saidSabrina Mason, a fifth yearinterior design major. “As itgoes up the dress it shows theregrowth and passion. Whenshe took off the Velcro collarand threw it down, it wassymbolic of throwing off thepsychological damage andmoving on.”

Mason, who competed forthe first time, said it was fun toactually see a product fromconcept to finish.

“As students, we never getto see a finished project, andso it was exciting that wecould take all of these materi-als and ideas and see some-thing tangible that we coulduse,” Mason said.

Olivia Steitz, who mod-eled the dress and worked onthe destruction of the materi-als, said walking down therunway in the dress was diffi-cult.

“During our practicewalk-through … a zipperbusted and they had to sew meinto the dress,” Steitz said. “Icouldn’t take it off and Icouldn’t sit down. At the endof the competition they had to

cut me out of the dress withscissors.”

Deborah Drury, ofDeborah Drury InteriorDesign, and five UK interiordesign students whom sheinvited to work on the piecedesigned “SleekSophistication,” the dress thatwon first place.

“I decided I wanted to dosomething sleek … red carpetlook,” Drury said. “We had tolook at the materials firstbecause they’re meant to beflat on the floor. Once I sawwhat the products could do, Icame up with this design.”

“Sleek Sophistication,”which was sponsored byflooring manufacturerJohnsonite, was created withweld rods, sheet vinyl, vinyltile, luxury vinyl tile, jute and

vinyl cove base. Turner said the experience

the students gained during thecompetition was invaluable.

“They got to know manu-facturers and a lot of people inthe industry,” Turner said.“Not only do they get tobecome familiar with materi-als they will be working withon a daily basis, but they getto meet professionals anddevelop their creativeprocess.”

Product Runway was acharity event, with all partici-pants and models volunteer-ing and all materials donated.All proceeds went to the Dressfor Success charity.

The winning dresses willbe on display in the PeaceGallery in room 103Funkhouser until Nov. 10.
