Dear Shana,
1 really like this girl, but she doesn’t
even know that I exist . She has a
boyfriend but he treats her very badly and
1 am sure that I could treat her better!!!
How can I approach this girl without
causing any conflict between her
boyfriend and myself?
Lost In Love
Dear Lost,
You have two choices. Either wait for
her to approach you(which according to
you seems very unlikely) or approach her
and make yourself an indisposeable friend
10 her. Eventually Mr. Wonderful will get
on her nerves and you can be right there to
pick up the pieces! Remeber-timing and
discretion are everything and patience is
definitely a virtue. As for her boyfriend,
he will get over it!
Shana
Dear Shana,
A person on our floor has a serious
problem with body odor. Everyone has
noticed it but no one knows how to tell
him. Please help us!!!
Severely Nauseated
Dear Nauseated,
Be nice, considerate, polite and
discreet; but most of all be sure to tell this
person they need to check their body’s
odor. Dont try to hurt his feelings but do
make him aware that he has a problem
then offer him suggestions on how to
solve it. Also remember, what is obvious
to you may not be so obvious to him.
Therefore, think about how you would
want to be approached and give him the
same respect. Good luck!!!
Shana
Dear Shana,
1 am involved in a relationship with
a guy who is 33- years- old and I am only
21-years-old. I really like him a lot but I
can’t tell my parents, because they will
definitely disapprove. What should I do?
Thinking
Dear Thinking,
In this state 21-years-old is legal age,
so follow your heart. If you do decide to
go ahead with things as they are though,
give it some time and your parents may
accept this man. Don’t stop reaching out
to them, however, because family is
forever, this relationship could be over
next week.
Shana
Dear Shana,
I have a serious problem! My best
friend is a guy and 1 am starting to have
very deep feelings for him! We have been
friends since junior high school and care
about each other deeply, but I don’t know
if 1 should tell him how I am feeling. If I
do how should 1 go about it?
Helpless iMve
Dear Helpless,
You arc right! There is nothing more
helpless than a person who knows what
they have to do and doesn’t have the guts
to do it!! If you love him-iell him so. If
he is a true friend he will either let you
down easy or give you a straight-up green
light. Chances are, if you are as close as it
seems, he probably has romantic feelings
for you too. Take a load off of your mind
....just tell him!!!

Could Tuition Costs
Increase in 1995?
BYJAMITA GRIFFIN
Editor
Is Tuition increasing and your
finances decreasing? Does it seem that
you may not finish school in the
designated four years? Well, there is
one more problem you may have to
face.
In 1993, the General Assembly
directed the Board of Governors to
establish a 25 percent tuition surcharge
for students taking more than 140
degree credit hours in four year
program or degree credit hours in a five
year program. The General Assembly
also directed the Board of Governors to
ensure that students at each campus
average 15 credit hours per semester.
For students in the UNC system,
this may be a problem. On December
1, 1994, the SGA along with members
of the Freshman and Sophomore
Classes began stuffing envelopes with
letters to the parents of all students
attending WSSU. The letter contained
information explaining how this law
can effect students here at WSSU.
They also enclosed a letter for parents
to send to the legislators and senators.
Because many students come to
the University with different levels of
preparatory classes, some feel that
students may be put behind in their
four year curriculum. The students
that have to work while attending
school also have a disadvantage. Some
feel that for the students that have to
work during the summer and are not
able to attend summer school to lake in
those extra classes, they may be at a
disadvantage. Also, the National
Collegiate Athletic Association’s
minimum number of hours is 12 hours
per semester (instead of NC’s proposed
15.) NC athletes would be at a
disadvantage in any national
competition against athletes that could
take 12 hours. There are other issues
ignored by this law. Double majors
and academic minors would not be able
to be pursued without financial burden
because these courses would push
students past the four year deadline.
This discourages academic freedom.
The Student Legislation Task
Force here at WSSU are asking parents
to call the legislators and senators or
send them the letter to voice their
concerns. They are not asking that the
Bill be repealed, but that they make
some exceptions.
