More News J SELECTED GROUP DISCUSSES THE ESSENCE OF THEIR MAJORS Cylea Seabrook cylea@yahoo.com In May of 2002, Emilio J. Waters will graduate from Elizabeth City State University with a degree in accounting. “There is no major that is easier than the other. They all require hard work and dedication,” said Waters. A native of Trenton, North Caro lina, Waters decided to major in accounting his senior year of high school. He said that students should have a basic idea of what they want to major at end of their freshman year in college. “A student should research their major of interest and talk to a professor in that department so he or she can be sure that this is what they want to do,” Waters said. His greatest challenge in his field is auditing because of the many concepts, and it is time consuming. “The General Accepted Auditing Standards are essential to auditing because they are the 10 rules on how to conduct auditing, with out them any accountant will be lost,” he Waters. Waters is currently working on his internship at Black Water Tactical Training Range in Moyock, North Carolina, where he does financial analysis. He accredits Dr. Ebbre Oriaku for his achievements. “He cares about his students, expects them to do well, plus he looks out.” To relieve the stress of dealing with facts and figures he involves himself with campus activities. He is a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., the National Association of Black Accountants, a residence assistant in Mitchell Lewis Hall, and a Business and Economics Scholar. After gradua tion, he plans to attend East Carolina University and receive a master’s degree in business administration. Darian Gatling, a junior, from Northampton County, North Carolina majors in Industrial Technology with a concentration in Math and a minor in Secondary Education. In January of 2000, he trans ferred from Halifax Community Col lege. At HCC he received a diploma in welding technology and industrial technology and an associates in applied science degree in industrial technology. “I always wanted to major in industrial technology when I was majoring in welding. I like to work with my hands and from talking to other industrial technology majors they, told me that it was a hands on based major,” says Gatling. According to Gatling the most difficult aspect of his major is that it changes everyday because technol ogy is always changing. Gatling said: “You will have to take trigonometry geometry, and physics. There are formulas that you will have to learn for hydraulics and electronics.” After graduation, Gatling would like to teach industrial technology to high school or junior college stu dents. Gatling says, ‘There is no major that is easier than the other, it all depends on what you like. For some one who enjoys reading and writing they should consider majoring in English. It’s not a matter of what is easy, it’s what comes easy to you.” Ebony Marie Hunter is an Art major with a concentration in Mu seum Studies and a minor in Busi ness. A sophomore from Oxford, North Carolina she was home schooled by her parents at the Jesus First Home School. Hunter decided to major in art this fall after changing her major from accounting. “1 was getting art courses as I went further into my major in accounting. 1 decided to go with my inner fire and pursue my dreams as an artist,” says Hunter. Her concentration in Museum Studies requires that she take prepa ration courses that will familiarize her with the different origins of art if she decides to work in a museum. Hunter says, “There is more to art than drawing or painting. There are variations in art like, photography, glass, ceramics, and jewelry.” By having a major in art and a minor in business she wants to attend graduate school and major in market ing and advertisement. “Dr. Alexis Joyner has been my biggest inspiration. He is doing what he loves and teaches it well,” says Hunter. In her spare time she is a Disc Jockey at Jazzy 89.9 and makes appearances at Jazz Caf6. She wants to start drawing comics for The Com pass. Hunter says, “The greatest thing about being an artist is that I get to show the public the world through my eyes. They are able to visualize what type of person I am.” After graduation she would like to get an art residency in Ghana, Africa and work in the Smithsonian for a year. FASHION Adia Keeler Fashion Editor NYFASHION626 @ hotmail.com FASHION DILEMMA WINTER BEAUTY TIPS Do you want to know how to achieve a Trendy denim look that is hot for the Fall/Winter season of 2001 ? Well, this fall there are certain types of denims that are really hot. Here are a list of a few styles and types of denim to not forget to add into your wardrobe. 1. Washed black jeans 2. “Mod” cfenim look (1960s look) 3. All types of denim jackets (puffed sleeves, wool lined in the inside, and accents of fur on the collar and sleeve cuff, and studs) 4. Jean suits (they look like busi ness suits) 5. Cuffed denim (already made is the best) 6. Fur on denim pants (hottest item this season) 7. Antique Jeans (same thing as worn) Now that you know that there are different denim looks being attained this season, here are a couple of tips to give you versatility tc your denim collection. 1) Let’s deal with denim color combina tions. It is best to stick with one color palette when wearing a jean suit or outfit. For instance, you should wear blue stonewash with blue stonewash. It is not a good fashion idea to wear mixed color denims. 2) If you are going to wear cuffs or roll-up the legs to a pair of jeans, it is better if you try it on a pair of straight leg jeans. You are trying to look trendy not summery! 3) If you decide to go with fringe or unraveled look, try them on a pair of boot cut jeans or a pair of wide-leg jeans (they are not too attractive on tapered or narrow-legged jeans). 4) Those that are willing to be different and can carry this look to the bank, I recom mend wearing a pair of capris with a pair of knee-high boots. This is a hot looking this season since high boots and denim are a necessity this season. The worst thing you can do trying to achieve this look is to wear a pair of ankle boots or a pair of boots that are shorter than the pants (you don’t want to show any skin). 5) Pick a pair of jeans that best fits you. Whatever makes you boat float is cool, but when you are trying to be fashionable there are certain things you should and should not do in achieving a fashionable look. Women with short torsos look better in low-waist jeans (lengthens your torso) and women with longer torso can either wear high or low- waist jeans. 6) Lastly, for those who wear stretched jeans or jeans that have a tight fit around your shoes, you can either wear the crunch look (extra material stacked) or slit the jean a couple of inches on the seams, they’ll be able to fit over the shoe and give a trendy look. In the winter time our hair and skins is abused by the cold temperatures and the harsh wind. Here are some survival tips for keeping your skin, hands, and hair like they would be on a spring day 1) Shampoo your hair at least once a week and condition your hair with penetrating conditioners 2) Rejuvenate your scalp and hair with nourishing essential oils 3) Avoid way or petroleum-based pomades and heavy oils that keep out moisture and attract dirt and lint 4) Try roller setting instead of blow drying 5) Wear hats and scan/es that are silk and satin-lined to protect your hair from the elements and breakage As temperatures drop, so does humidity. Add to that dehydrating effects of indoor heat, and before you know it you’re left with dry, flaky, lackluster skin that seemingly no amount of lotion can cure. 1) Resist the urge to submerge yourself in hot water for long periods of time. Take short, tepid baths and show ers, and wash with gentle, soap-free cleansers. 2) Supplement baths and showers with skin-softening treatments and gently pat skin dry with a towel. 3) Apply lotion immediately after bathing to lock in moisture. 4) Guard against ultraviolet rays by wearing sunscreen and a hat for added protection 5) Always dress adequately for the weather. Wear clothing of natural fibers to allow your skin to breathe and help reduce moisture loss. Cold weather has a tremendous effect on a lot of people’s hand. Our hands are two of the hardest-working parts of our bodies and the most easily damage. 1) Clean your hand and nails with a mild, lanolin free soap. Use fast-drying antibacterial sanitizers only on the palms of your hands, where the skin is less dry. 2) Use moisturizing lotions and creams that have long-lasting effects. 3) Keep small containers of lotion and cuticle moisturizer handy for use when you’re on the go. 4) Touch up chipped nails with polish between manicures rather than taking it all off with depleting removers. 5) And take cover from the ele ments in warm cotton-or-cashmere-lined gloves or mittens.
