News Argus, December 2000 Student Life Holiday Heartache Being home for Christmas doesn't always mean being with whom you love By Niche Vereen Argus Reporter Being from two differ ent cities or states can put a damper on your holiday when you cannot be with the one you love. Now that Christmas break is upon us, one has to wonder how couples on campus are going to handle the distance. Mow will they com municate? When will they see each other? How will they be able to handle it? These are just a few of the questions that cou ples have to deal with over holiday breaks. After talking to sever al couples on campus, the answers were unani mous. They said that they would make the necessary arrangements to compromise their hol idays. Despite the great dis tance for couples such as Corey Ruffin, who is from Charlotte, and Yolanda Patrick, who is from New York, they have been compromising as well. Patrick visited Ruffin for Thanksgiving, and Ruffin will visit Patrick over Christmas break. For couples such as Sharon Thompson and Donald Frunding, they can visit each other more because they are in the same state. For them, distance is nothing to be afraid of. "The time apart from one another should make you appreciate the time that you do spend together," said Patrick. If you are in a long distance relationship, some great ways of communicating with each other are through e-mail, letters, sending each other love packages and, if at all possible, try to sneak in a visit or two. Not enough people attended school fair, students say "We as students tend to take things like this for granted. More students really should have come. ” By Niche Vereen Argus Reporter The Office of Career Services had its annual Graduate and Professional School Fair on Nov. 8. The fair, in room 207 in the Thompson Center, gave students a chance to gain vital information about graduate and pro fessional schools, includ ing fellowships, assistant- ships and departmental information. Among attendance at the fair were UNC Greensboro, UNC- Chapel Hill, High Point University, East Tennessee State University and NC State University. Students were able to find out about prospective schools by talking to a representative from each school who gave informa tion that is hard to obtain from a brochure. Two WSSU students, Telicia Young, a senior, and Bridgett Terry, a junior, were very pleased with what the fair had to offer but were disappoint ed by students' atten dance. "We as students tend to take things like this for granted. More students really should have come," said Terry. Despite its small atten dance, the fair was still a success.

"It is not too many times that you have a chance to really get dressed up and have a good time and not have to worry about your safety," said Damiko Faulkner, a member of the fraternity. He was not the only one that had good things to say about the ball. Kenita Upchurch, an Omega lady, said, "I had a great time and cannot wait until next year's event." Ernest E. Just, Oscar J. Cooper, Frank Coleman and Edgar A. Love founded Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Nov. 17, 1911, on the campus of Howard University.

"Students tend to have a misconception about life. They think things are going to fall into their lap, and that is the wrong way to think. You have to go out and do things for yourself and this was one of the days to do so," said Young.
