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
