So here's the scoop. See this little Paper-doll/Nephite/Superman dude? He is going to be floating around the institute this week, hiding in classrooms, hallways, and in nooks and crannies all over the building. If ever you spot him, take him to the front office area near the south entrance and the ladies there will give you a T-Shirt in return.
The T-Shirts this year are actually pretty sweet. I've seen three different colors floating around: blue, pink (which Bro. LeFevre insists is "red") and then a blindingly bright green.
The fine print of the unwritten rules of the free T-shirt contest states that if you do become a recipient of one of these coveted Institute T-Shirts, you must wear it every Tuesday.
You may be thinking EVERY Tuesday? Idk if I want to wear an Institute shirt EVERY Tuesday. Being a recipient of a T-shirt myself, I want to just throw my two cents in about this -
In the Arts and Culture section of the Huffington Post, I read this article by a Ms. Barnett about T-shirts and how so much of who you are can be portrayed just by the shirt that is on your back. I posted the link below. It's kind of fun to scroll through all the pictures of people and take mental note of the things you assume about the person in the photograph just because of the shirt they are wearing.

I have a cousin -let's call him Andy - who refuses to wear anything with a logo or brand name on it - no Hollister shirts, Abercrombie and Fitch, Aeropostale, etc. Tbh, I think it's because he is cheap and he wants an excuse, but he argues that he sees no good reason why he should pay a company a "single penny to be a walking billboard for them." Though I think Andy should get a summer job and buy some quality clothes, I have to admit his comment caused me to think about what I am actually saying to the world when I wear the clothes I do.

Ms. Barnett of the Post said this about T-shirts and the things we are "saying":
"The messages are similar to the very coats of arms warriors painted on their shields letting the enemy know just who they were fighting. Individuals wear t-shirts as a kind of badge of honor that says, "I belong to this group not the other,” and these images create a time capsule, placing the wearer in a time and place in history."I love institute and I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints in this time in history! If that's what my message is when I wear that shirt on Tuesday, I guess I can do it EVERY time. There's not a club on campus that I'd rather be a walking billboard for than this one:
