Guess Who! 'l'l0 Mini-Mag gfriiffygg Foreign Horizons . Staff It's a chance in a million and the most fun that any- one could ever have. Be- ing an exchange student is sharing cultural experi- ences, meeting really dif- ferent people and travel- ing to unfamilar lands. The word to sum up the life of an exchange student would have to be pure ex- citement. I was happy and sad at the same time. Happy be- cause I was going but sad because I was leaving be- hind all my family and friends. It was a great ex- perience. Still in the be- ginning I was very nervous but excited, Marisol Rau said. The excitement an ex- change student feels is equal to the amount their host families experience. It takes special people to be able to accept someone they don't know into their life and give them love. At first I was really ner- vous about having some-I one I didn't know come' and live with us, because I didn't know how to act or what in the world to talk about. Then I got to think- ing what I would want my host family to act like if were an exchange studen and I realized they were l lot more nervous than w , could ever dream abou being. That made me fee better, Anne Marie Kel- ler said. I To be an exchange stu-I dent a person must be re- ally determined and will- ing to work very hard. There is a lot of admiration for these students. It's really interesting tc me to learn about foreign people and places and t see the exchange student learning things from uw that they will carry back home with them, Christy Holloway said.

Are tanning beds more than Deluxe Toasters Melody Case 7 Staff It's that time of year. Winter is over and a little voice whispers, Tanning bed. Tanning bed. Hundreds of people go to tanning beds each day. This is a dream of a lifetime for devoted sun worshippers. I like going to Tantastic because there are really nice-looking guys that work there. They always comment on how well everyone looks after tanning, jessica Roenne said. Tanning has made things easier. Some can remember sitting outside in a bikini when it was not even sixty degrees. A portable heater helped avoid the frostbitel Tanning beds give one a healthy look on the outside, and when you look good on the outside, you feel good on the inside, Mrs. Chrisco said.

It has not totally proven that tanning beds cause all types of skin cancer. Sitting in the tanning bed is a long and boring time to wait for a tan, but it beats laying outside in the heat sweating, Tammy Green said. Tanning beds are the ultimate in sweltering heat boxes.
