Many students o to tanning salons to chieve a dark tan. It is eat having a dark tan all ear round, stated one tudent. Nowadays there re two different types of inning salons, a tanning ooth and a tanning bed. The newest item on the larket is the tanning ooth. In the tanning booth, you stand in a small hexagon shaped booth with bulbs all around you. In the booth the maximum time allowed is 15 minutes. The old but still popular idea is the tanning bed, a bed with bulbs above and below. The maximum time allowed is 30 minutes. Se- nior Tracy Ballard said, I like being in a tanning bed for only 30 minutes instead of sitting outside in the sun all day. ! think I tan a lot faster in a tanning bed. Tanning salon prices range anywhere from $3.00 to $6.50 a single session. The more sessions bought the cheaper it is. The salons still, however, have many questions to them. Even though there are many questions to tanning beds and booths, many DC stu- dents would not know what to do without them. New Eyes Every year more stu- dents change from glass- es to contact lenses for one reason or another. Many however, change for appearance reasons to make themselves not on- ly look better to others around them but to them- selves. There are several dif- ferent types of contact lenses: soft, hard and gas permeable. But now growing more popular are the extended wear lenses. With the extended wear lenses the individual is al- lowed to wear them for up to 30 days without taking them out. However ex- tended wear lenses are not for all lens wearers; they can cause problems for the eyes. They are not recommended for very sensitive eyes because of chances of build-up on the lenses that can cause an eye infection. Becoming even more popular are tinted contact lenses. Many students chose to wear tinted lens- es for various reasons. Senior Vicki Horreil stat- ed, I ' ve worn contact lenses for over six years. I just recently purchased brown tinted lenses and I have found they are eas- ier to find when lost. I think they have changed my eye color considera- bly. I plan to buy them again when I need to. Students change color to give variety to their eyes. Some fee! this enhances their appearance and gives an even t)etter look. Contact lenses these days are becoming more popular for several rea- sons. Many DC students would rather wear contact lenses than glasses. a O H Mini Mag 15

What the Stars Have in Store for You Many believe Astrology to be an infallible science (similar to astronomy). Others tend to be- lieve that it ' s pure nonsense. Astrology deals with the stars, pl anets, and planet movement. Many students at Decatur be- lieve in horoscopes, or read them anyway. One student said, I read my horoscope in the paper every day. It ' s just kind of fun to think you can know what ' s going to happen before it does. I don ' t think I really be- lieve In them. A junior student was asked about where horoscopes orig- inated and why they are still popular. His response: I really have no Idea. And who really cares? They ' re just interesting. It is said that the heavens are a large circle, which is di- vided into 12 equal parts. These divisions represent the signs of the Zodiac: Aries the Ram, Tau- rus the Bull, Gemini the Twins, Cancer the Crab, Leo the Lion, Virgo the Virgin, Libra the Scales, Scorpio the Scorpion, Sagittarius the Archer, Capricorn the Goat, Aquarius the Water Bearer, and Pisces the Fish. Individual birth dates deter- mine what sign a person falls under. For example, it is be- lieved by many that if one is born between March 22 and April 20 he she belongs under the sign of Aries. Aries people are said to be pioneers, ideal- ists, and the leaders of the world. They are inclined to start new things before finishing the old. These people are not at all consistent. However, Arieses are high- spirited, generous, and tactful. If born be- Tauruses are in need of creature comtorts. They enjoy home life and children. In business they are forceful, yet in love they are undemonstrative. They usually remain calm and self-controlled. Those born between May 22 and June 21 belong un- der the Gem- ini sign. Geminis are often flirts — along with being versatile, flexible, and changeable. These people are said to have turbulent minds, but they do remain charming and stimulating. So- cial success for the Gemini is assured; however, in business they must work. The fourth sign of the Zodiac is Cancer — birthdates be- ing June 22 to July 23. This is the domestic sign. These people are sensitive and easily hurt. They are very apt to worry, be nervous and fretful, craving change and ad- venture. In love, the Cancerians are loyal, very loyal. Leo, the next sign of the Zodiac dates from July 24 to Au- gust 23. These people love adulation, and if they don ' t get it, they imagine it. They have many mi- nor weaknesses and yet they still show strength. Leos are willing to give the utmost for those they love. They never stoop to anything petty or mean. Virgo, the sixth sign of the Zodiac, is an intellectual sign. Born between Au- gust 24 and September 23, the Virgo is almost always too crit- ical of himself and of others. On the other hand, he she is an excellent conversationalist, and usually very agreeable compan- ions. Born be- tween Sep- tember 24 and October 23 is the Li- bra, seventh sign of the Zodiac. Libras are sociable, happy, and often tal- ented and artistic. They love to experiment in life. Libras often give in easily on small matters, but still, they can be firm if needed. Between the birthdates of October 24 and Novem- •ynr ber 23 falls the Scorpio. Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Zodiac. Scorpio persons are very jealous, quick to anger, and hot for revenge. Many turn this great passion to hard work for a cause they believe in. If born be- tween No- vember 23 and Decem- ber 22, you are deemed a Sagittarius. Sagittarians are of- ten open, honest, and very blunt. Often these people lack tact, but they really are splendid people. Sagittarians are ideal- istic, unselfish, loyal, and un- derstanding. The tenth sign of the Zodiac, Cap- ricorn, born between De- cember 23 and January 20, is said to be a social climber. If born under this influence it is best to keep your feet on the ground — be firm, but not unwilling to change. Born be- tween Janu- ary 21 and February 19 are the Aquarians. Those under the eleventh sign of the Zodiac are people that give themselves to the world. They tend to be more interested in others than they are in them- selves. Aquarius people are very loyal and will make dependable husbands and wives. Persons born between February 21 and March 21, in the twelfth and fi- nal sign of the Zodiac, are the Pisces. These people are agree- able companions. They are of- ten too generous and as a result popular. They love beauty and the desire to attain. These descriptions are only representative. To discover the exact profile for one person, one will have to research deeper. Information taken from Astrol- ogy for Everyone By Evangeline Adams. Superstition: Fact or Fiction? Is there an answer? How many read the hor- oscopes every day? And, how many take tnem se- riously? How many wor- 2r about black cats? Lad- ers? The number 13? Yes, everyone seems to have some type of super- stition, and some even swear by their beliefs. Never wish an actor or actress good luck! Tell him her, believe it or not — to break a leg! In Webster ' s superstition is defined as a belief or practice resulting from ig- norance, fear of the un- known, trust in magic or chance, a false concept of causation, a notion main- tained despite evidence to the contrary. Senior Heather White stated, Say what you like, but my good luck charm always works for me! Melodie Prilliman, senior, said that, no — she doesn ' t necessarily believe in, well horo- scopes, for example; but sometimes they do seem to fit the situation. How do you explain that? Superstition is some- thing yet to be explained — until that time comes — look for those four leaf clovers, watch out for black cats and ladders, and, of course — FRIDAY THE 13TH! 14 Mini Mag
