Well, it has come topass that the UnitedStates of America hasselected yet anotherPresident. In 2008 wesaw much diversity in thecampaigns, well beyondthe issues of color andgender.

CNN as well as localnews broadcasters gaveextensive coverage to anelection in which therewas a record turnout ofvoters. “At least 2.2 mil-lion people…voted usingabsentee or other types ofballots that allow them tovote before the pollsopen,” said MichaelMcDonald, associate pro-

fessor of politics and gov-ernment of GeorgeMason University.

Many things were sureto change following this

election. And many stu-dents were relieved to seethe election go the way itwent.

“Even though I knew

Oklahoma would goMcCain, I had a goodfeeling that Obama wouldbe in the oval office,”commented Lucas

Freeman, sophomore psy-chology major.

Now that the election isover and all is said anddone the American peo-ple will simmer down tosee what the future holdsfor the victor.

Jennifer Melton, juniorEnglish major with awriting emphasis, stated,“Much of the world seesAmerica as arrogant, andI think Obama will helpcreate a better image ofAmerica for the rest ofthe world.

“I think Obama will bemore diplomatic in hisapproach,” Melton added,emphasizing how shethought the next fouryears might play out inthe white house.

President elect Barack Hussein Obama gives speech Tuesday after winning election.

In today's day and age,connection with yourfamily and friends isextremely important.With the technologyindustry booming, theInternet is becomingmore popular than everbefore making it easierto keep in touch. Buthow private are the pop-ular connection sites likeMyspace and Facebook?

It seems that nearlyevery person has accesssome way to theInternet. Sites likeMyspace and Facebookare two of the most pop-ular among teenagersand adults alike. Thesesites allow you to uploadand share pictures,videos, send messagesand comment on yourfriends pages, and evenkeep an online diary,often called a blog.

Myspace andFacebook open a wholenew realm for peopleneeding to advertise, gettheir band recognized bybuilding a fan base, orjust to have a fun way tocommunicate with fami-ly and friends.

Sure it is all in funright? Today, 22 percentof employers are check-ing your Myspace orFacebook accounts

before they hire you tosee what you are up to;everything from whetheryou drink or do drugs, tobasically just see whatkind of a person you are.

College admissionsofficials are even knownto check your Myspaceor Facebook accounts tosee if they should acceptyou into their university.There have been a fewschool issues in the pastthat have had a negativeend result due to some-thing that was publishedon Myspace orFacebook.

Loni Williams, anEnglish Education majorsays, “I worry a lotabout my privacy online.I do not put too muchpersonal informationabout myself onFacebook or Myspace,most of the stuff is justgeneral. I only acceptpeople as friends that Iknow. I keep my pro-files set to private sothose who aren't myfriends can't see myinformation”.

Both of these sites,Facebook and Myspace,have privacy settingsand ways to keep safe.Students are reminded touse common sense andconstantly keep in mindthat what you put onlinemay not always be asprivate as you think.

One of the most impor-tant aspects of any collegeor university is the stu-dents. Enrollment figureshave been coming out forarea colleges and univer-sities.

According to informa-tion released inSeptember, enrollment forSoutheastern this semes-ter was 3,889, a slightreduction from last fall'snumber of 4,002 students.

Several other local col-leges have released theirenrollment figures. Somehave shown big increases.

Enrollment for theArdmore HigherEducation Center is up by20 percent from last fall,and up a total of 42 per-cent for the last 10 years.

There was a 21 percentincrease from last fall forGrayson County Collegeamong students who aretaking between 12 and 14credit hours.

Eastern Oklahoma StateCollege and Carl AlbertJunior College showedmodest gains.

Kim Faris, director ofadmissions and records atGrayson, said in a pressrelease from Graysonthat, “people are lookingfor value closer to home.”She also said that, “Themore expensive four-yearcolleges become, the

more attractive GCC is.Our students have accessto exceptional courses andprograms, outstandinginstructions and numerousservices at a fraction ofthe cost of four-year insti-tutions.”

The Southeastern fresh-men class for fall 2007was 1,294 students. Thesophomore enrollment forthis fall is only 571 stu-dents. There has been asignificant drop offbetween freshmen num-bers and sophomore totalsfor quite a few years.

Dr. Larry Minks, execu-tive vice president of aca-demic affairs atSoutheastern, said that thereason for the drop innumbers is a complicatedissue. He said that part ofthe gap is because somestudents do not take a lotof hours.

“Freshmen are classi-fied by hours,” Minksexplained. He also addedthat this year, of the 1,346freshmen, only 612 mem-bers of the freshmen classare first time college stu-dents.

Minks said that reten-tions have improvedsomewhat over the lastfew years. But, he alsoexplained that studentscycle in and out fornumerous reasons includ-ing working to pay forcollege, supporting others

and getting married. He also said that a key

issue at the University iscreating support systemsthat make sure the differ-ent processes atSoutheastern such as aca-demic, residential life andothers are working prop-erly. The school is con-centrating on focusgroups to hear feedbackfrom students on theseissues.

Ben Kenagy, a freshmanin aviation atSoutheastern, commentedon why he thinks numbersmay drop between fresh-men and sophomores. Hesaid that when new stu-dents enter the aviationprogram they are toldthat, “we come in withabout 60 freshmen in avi-ation, and then by thejunior year there are onlyabout 15.” He explainedthat one of the reasons forthe big drop is becauseaviation is expensive andsome of the studentseither change majors ordrop out of school.

This could also be aproblem in some otherdepartments.

When asked if he wouldever transfer, Kenagyreplied, “I do not know ofany colleges that have adecent aviation programfor the price.” He added,“I would like to stay hereif at all possible.”

Native American Symposiumwill host Choctaw storyteller

The Native AmericanSymposium is back onNovember 12.

Chair of the event, Dr.Mark Spencer, associateprofessor of English andHumanities, said that “theevent this year is not thefull symposium, but asmaller single speaker pre-sentation called Insights.”

The speaker will be TimTingle. According tochoctawstoryteller.com,“Tingle is an enrolledmember of the Choctaw

Nation of Oklahoma, asought-after speaker andstoryteller, and an award-winning author of NativeAmerican fiction and folk-lore.”

The presentation willbegin at 9 a.m. in the FineArts Theatre, and after-wards the audience canmeet Tingle in thelibrary’s Native AmericanRoom.

“The event is free andopen to all students, facul-ty and staff,” Spencer said.

Among SE’s 1,346 freshmen students, 612 arrived on campus in August as new students.

President elect BarackObama… say it again...doesn’t it just roll off thetongue? Well, it doesn’t doanything but leave a badtaste on mine.

Here it is, the morningafter the 2008 presidentialelection and my plea toany true remaining conser-vatives out there is that itis time to start gettingtogether and lookingtowards 2012.

I have been scanning themorning shows this morn-ing and they all disgustme. History has beenmade… Obama is anAfrican American and hehas been elected Presidentof the United States… solet’s get over it.

All the media can talkabout this morning is theblack community rejoicingover this milestone. I amnot belittling this at all,please do not misunder-stand me. But all we arehearing about is “a blackman being elected.”

We are not hearing any-thing about his enduringexperience that qualifieshim for the office… ohyeah, he doesn’t have anyexperience.

We are not hearingabout all the laws that hebacked in the UnitedStates Senate that definehis ideological views… ohyeah, he hasn’t voted onany of any substance.

We are not hearingabout how his immensetime in the Governor’soffice or in the armedforces will add to his pres-idential decision making…oh yeah, nothing thereeither.

Essentially, the two

things that qualify thisman to take the oath ofoffice are (first) that he isnot George W. Bush and(second) that he is black.

There… I said it, beingan African American addsto the spectacle of anObama presidency.

John Edwards (anotherwhite guy) would not havestood a chance against aJohn McCain campaign.

This country is so tiredof the fumbled last twoyears of Bush’s presidencythat they are willing todrink anything that resem-bles water… even if it isDemocratic Kool-Aid.

Obama being a blackguy is nothing more thanicing on the cake. AfricanAmericans account for 16percent of our population;they did not win this elec-tion for him. Obama car-ried over 60 percent of thewhite vote that is also dis-gusted with theRepublican machine.

Oddly enough, thewaters of Lake Michigandid not part to allow thecoming of the Messiah.Maybe they are waitingfor that to happen on theshores of the Potomac onJanuary 20... I just don’tknow.

But, in all sincerity, Ioffer a heartfelt congratu-lations to the BarackObama camp. They foughtand won a bitter campaignwith help from a lot ofpeople.

McCain lost this one fairand square. He did nothingto ignite his conservativebase; he is one of the mostleft-leaning Republicans inthe Senate. Guys likeMike Huckabee and MittRomney should have beenon the road with McCainfor at least the past month.They should have beenhelping him secure all theloose ends in the shatteredglass ceiling on the rightside of the aisle.

But, oh well, it is timeto move forward and look

ahead. Barack Obama hasevery possibility to be oneof the greatest presidentsever. On the same hand,he may prove to be one ofthe worst.

The fact is that a terribleeconomy led to theFranklin Roosevelt aris-tocracy of 1932, 1936 andagain in 1940. MaybeObama will be the nextFDR.

Then again, the lastpresident who raised taxesas much as he wanted toduring this kind of reces-sion was Herbert Hooverin 1928... We all knowwhat happened in 1929.

I predict we will have areplay of 1976 whenRonald Reagan lost in theprimary, the Democratselected Jimmy Carter justto spite a much disgustedRepublican administration,and he became one of thebiggest jokes in presiden-tial history.

I see Mike Huckabeespending the next fouryears campaigning whileObama will fall on hisface. It took four years ofCarter to give us Reagan;it will take us four yearsto realize our mistakeshere.

I wish the best to thenew administration but donot look for it to happen.

I know many of you arewaiting on your check toshow up in the mail… it isnot coming. I know youall may think that the jobmarket will be better onMonday… it will not.And, most importantly, Iknow you all think thetroops are on their wayhome… they are not.

This country has a rudeawakening in store forthem concerning just howmany promises our newlyelected Marxist presidentis going to break before itis all said and done.

Controversy over the mag-nolia trees was on theStudent GovernmentAssociation’s agenda at lastweek’s meeting.

Under New Business,Todd King showed the stu-dent senate several pages ofa petition being signed oncampus asking theUniversity to not removeany Magnolia trees.

King said that the trees hadbeen a part of the campusfor a long time. “They stillmake up our front lawn, andour front lawn is beautiful,”King said.

He discussed some of thereasons not to remove any ofthe trees, which includedkeeping the campus cooler.

“We are called the schoolof a thousand magnolia’s,”said King. “That’s who weare.”

There had been some talkearlier of moving some ofthe trees. King said he hasdone research on this ideaand that it is an expensive.

Adam Lovell, president ofSGA, told King that a sur-vey is currently underway tofigure out which trees mightpotentially be removed. Hesaid the survey results willbe available in about amonth.

King told the senate that hewanted toknow theintentions ofwhy theU n i v e r s i t ywants to takedown some ofthe trees. “Iwant to knowevery reasonwhy you wantto take outthose trees,”he said.

VicePresident ofS t u d e n tAffairs SharonRobinson saidthat she haddiscussed withanother personin administra-tion about tag-ging whichtrees are rec-ommended tobe removedbecause ofovercrowding,and thereforeendangeringother trees.The taggingwould givepeople on

campus an idea what thecampus will look like afterthe process is complete.

King said that some of thetrees might just need deadlimbs cut off. He also saidthat trees last longer than alot of people. He added thatremoving some trees inorder to keep other treesfrom being endangered isokay.

King said that they are stillworking on getting the peti-tion signed, and making sureit is a fully informed petitionfor those signing it.

Yvone Taylor said thatwith regard to handicapparking on the loop, theexisting loop parking shouldbe redone instead of gettingrid of the back part of thehorseshoe.

Lovell said that it is, “dif-ficult to put handicappedparking on the loop.” Onereason is to meet ADA stan-dards.

Taylor said that whilehandicapped parking open-ing into traffic is not recom-mended by the ADA, it isnot against the ADA rules.

Lovell replied that theUniversity is held to a littlehigher standard.

Taylor told the senate thatshe would like theUniversity to consider keep-ing the loop open as is, towhich Lovell replied, “Itwill definitely be taken intoconsideration.”

Trent Castleberry, vicepresident of SGA, com-mented that he wanted tohear the official report fromthe survey before making adecision on the matter.

Lewter weighs in on Obama win

This week’s Times Talkfocused on thePresidential electionturnout, with Dr. BruceJohnson, assistant profes-sor of political science,leading discussion aboutelection turnout and localimpacts on the overallelection.

Johnson opened by say-ing it was an interestingelection year. He thenpointed to Oklahoma'soverall Republican vote.

“Oklahoma voted sixty-six percent John

McCain,” Johnson stated. Oklahoma is counter

cyclical, it tends to revertto being Republicanwhile the rest of the coun-try becomes moreDemocratic, Johnsoncommented.

John Swaboda, seniorEnglish education major,asked the question, “Oneof the strangest phenome-na I see is how can somestates be declared if theyare reporting zero per-cent?”

These have always beenrough estimates, Johnsonanswered. They are basedon exit polls and he said,

“(The) most notoriousexample of exit pollsoccurred in Florida in2000.”

Of course, we are allfamiliar with the 2000election and the circum-stances surrounding it.

Dr. Shannon McCrawthen asked, “Should it beviewed as Democrat ver-sus Republican or urbanversus rural?”

Johnson talked aboutvarious trends withincounties around cities anduniversities.

“The more education aperson has, historically,the more likely they are tovote Republican,”Johnson said. However,he did point out that thistrend lasted up to gradu-ate level education, afterwhich the stronger influ-ence became Democratic.

The Times Talk is heldevery Wednesday at noonon the second floor loft ofthe Southeastern StudentUnion.

For hun-dreds ofyears, theeconomicschool ofthoughtwent thatsupply of a

good or service createddemand for itself.Therefore, if businesseswere allowed to conductthemselves without regu-lations or other hin-drances, they could cre-ate the demand for theirproducts. Let’s call itSupply Side Economics.

We now know that thisis not true, at all.Economists now knowthat this is just the oppo-site, that instead demandcreates supply. Let’s callit Reality.

Think about it, if youwere an Eskimo inAlaska, you would haveno need, or demand, fora t-shirt or Bermudashorts, so there would beno supply of those goods.However, if a business-man wanted to sell snowboots and hand warmersthere would be quite ademand for those prod-

ucts, so the supply is cre-ated.

Personally, I don’t buyChristmas gifts until afew days before the 25th,so the timing of thoseseasonal products won’taffect me one bit. Butgiven the current state ofthe economy, I don’tthink it would makesense, business, econom-ic or otherwise, forstores to put these thingson the shelves, since thedemand is down.

Just putting theseproducts out there won’tmake consumers buythem, people have tohave the money to buythem.

The economy is goingto get worse before itgets better. During thesehard times, we need toremember what’s reallyimportant: seeingfriends and family andletting them know youlove them. Maybe theiPod can wait.

Bells, bells, bells. For the last few weeks Southeastern has been treated to,or perhaps inflicted with, the hourly sound of bells coming from the top ofMorrison Hall.

Several types of songs have been playing, including the school alma materas well as the Beatles. A most interesting playlist of songs.

But, are the bells a good idea? For one thing they do not really sound thatgreat. The audio coming out of the speakers sounds way too electronic. Somesongs are easily picked out by the listener while others leave him or her clue-less as to what the tune is, if it is even a tune at all.

The bells can also be a problem for students trying to study. While somestudents are able to zone out different sounds, others are not so lucky. Tryingto study with electronic bells ringing out random and sometimes unrecogniz-able songs can be incredibly difficult.

Also, what about classes being disturbed? Classes on Monday, Wednesdayand Friday usually end about the time the bells begin to ring near the top ofthe hour so as to not disturb students. But, classes on Tuesdays and Thursdaysare usually still in session when the bells begin to ring.

Now, the bells are not necessarily a bad idea. It is always cool to hear anhourly chime. Plus hearing the school alma mater is kind of cool, especiallysince it is not heard often.

But, the quality could be made to sound much better. Also, turning downthe volume would be a good idea. This is after all a university where studentsdo occasionally study.

The columnists provide readers with their own insight regarding an issue relevant to current events each week.This week’s question is: Is it too early for Christmas items to be on the store shelves?

I don’tknow if it isjust me get-ting older,or thattimes aregenuinelychanging;

but it seems that Christmasitems are on the shelves earli-er and earlier every year.

I don’t think it is me, forgarland and Christmas lightsseem to show up at Wal-Martas soon as back-to-schoolitems are on clearance in earlySeptember. Sometimes itseems utterly insane.

I used to be the classic cynicwho said that Christmas stuffhad no place on the shelvesuntil the day afterThanksgiving.

My cynicism towardChristmas began to narrowwhen I married my wife. Sheis a hopeless romantic who isconstantly wrapped up in thespirit of the season.

Our son was born twelveweeks early in October of lastyear when my wife went intoearly labor due to injuries sus-tained in a car accident.

Because Jackson was sopremature, he encounteredcountless complications and

was in the Neonatal IntensiveCare Nursery for the first 204days of his life.

He was admitted to the hos-pital two-weeks prior toHalloween and we finallybrought him home the dayafter Mother’s Day. Everyholiday in between was spentin the hospital, so we didn’treally have a Thanksgiving,Christmas or New Year’s Eve.

I remember watching theclock strike midnight onDecember 25, 2007 as Iimmediately prayed to Godand offered “thanks” that sucha frail little boy had evenmade it to Christmas.

He is home now and all iswell, and his first Christmas atour home will be great.

You don’t truly appreciatefamily holidays until you gowithout a few of them, soChristmas can’t get here soonenough for me.

Granted I wait until afterHalloween to start hangingChristmas lights, but theycould start stocking Christmasshelves on July 5 for all Icare.

Christmas brings out thebest in people. There is noth-ing wrong with bringing thatbest out earlier in the year.

Pers on on the street

Each week, SE students, faculty or staff will weigh inon an issue concerning SE or the Durant community.This week’s question is: Do you think that the newly

elected president will have a positive or negativeeffect on student loans?

Alex BakerSophomoreComputer Science andCommunications

I think he will havea positive impact on studentloans. Loans are going to bewell established for students.

by Quiency Smith Brannan

Jason HallSophomoreComputer Science

I think it will be posi-tive. I think he under-

stands education and its need. Heunderstands it is critical to ourfuture

Kenneth ChinnProfessor of Economics

It would seem likeObama would have

more concern for the youngergeneration. I wouldn’t thinkstudent loans would be thathigh on the agenda, though.

Wade FullerJuniorCommunications

Positive. Very positiveactually. He has voted

yes, and most of his campaign is seton setting costs, and that involveshow much college tuition can goup.

Opinions. Each day Ihave new ones regardingthings like my favoriteshampoo, who makes thebest pizza or what televi-sion shows I like thebest.

So many thoughts in aregular day, why weshould vote, who weshould vote for, doblondes really have morefun?

A big opinion of minecomes to mind everytime I drive to theSoutheastern campus.Why would they re-do aparking lot during theschool year? It’s juststupid! Hello! Couldthey not have done thisduring the summer?With there already beinga parking problem, whyshut down a whole park-ing lot?

Somebody did not

think this through... Opinions are made

every minute of everyday.

Most people think theprice of gas is still toohigh, except for the oilmagnates who arebecoming millionairesoff the rest of America’spoverty.

I even have an opinionon what’s the best cereal.Of course it has changedthrough the years but atthe present moment it’sRaisin Brand Crunch.Oh! How I love it, thecrunch just makes analready good cereal riseto the best. I have myclose second withCinnamon Toast Crunch.

I guess I like thecrunch.

I think the worldshould revolve aroundDr. Pepper. It’s my

favorite drink and anyother drink like Coke orPepsi is just too “acidy.”Yea, sure others maylove the taste of rocketfuel running down theirthroats but I prefer thecool fresh taste of a Dr.Pepper all day long.

Potato chips. Thereare so many differentkinds like plain, bar-beque, sour cream andCool Ranch. But my newfavorite is ranch andpizza mix. They have anultimate awesomenessthat can only beexplained as great! Themix of pizza and ranchfits like a hammer andnail. These chips arejust great.

Our opinions are whatmake us who we are.Without them we are yesmen in a world full offools.

Student never runs out of opinions

“Mommy, Iwant a NinjaTurtles mask forHalloween . . .oh, and thatNinja Turtlesstocking too, soSanta can bring

me some toys!”Sound familiar? Over the past

several years, “trick or treat”and “ho ho ho” have started toblend together. One could evensay the two terms pop up aroundthe exact same time of year.After Labor Day, stores are bom-barded with decorations forwhat seems like every holidayimaginable.

In terms of merchandise anddecorations, Thanksgiving occa-sionally gets a bit lost amidst thegusto of Halloween andChristmas. Still, many peoplebelieve that the last couple weeksof November should initiate theChristmas merchandise mad-ness. Why, then, can fun-sizedSnickers shaped like pumpkinsand witches be found right nextto red and green M&Ms?

I have been seeing Christmasdecorations on shelves of manystores since early September.Yes, it is more than a little weirdto see snowy Christmas décor inWal-Mart when it is 95 degrees

outside, but in some strange way,I can understand it. Christmas iscoming, and when you’re busy,months can pass like days.Personally, I cannot blamestores for wanting to nudge us inthe right direction a month ortwo early.

Just imagine all of the elabo-rate set-ups in certain housesyou see every year. Why shouldpeople put so much effort intosomething like that only to haveit displayed for a week or two?Buying Christmas decorationsearly allows plenty of time forthought as to where to placethings, and believe me, somepeople do not take that stufflightly. Besides, one of the worstfeelings is to have your eye onsomething while continuallydelaying the purchase of it – onlyto find later that it has beenswept up by another person insome Black Friday sale.

As a long-time procrastinator, Ihave experienced the horror ofwaiting in outrageously longlines when that familiar snow-man-shaped sign in the storesays “Less than ten days leftuntil Christmas.” There is noth-ing fun about that. So until Santaswimsuits pop up in the summer,“too early” is an oxymoron inmy eyes.

It's mean and greenand it just hit DVD.I'm talking, ofcourse, about the“Incredible Hulk,”Marvels’ latest forageinto the market offilm.

Let's begin thisreview by first sayingthat this film is no“Iron Man.” That ismeant in two ways:first, it is the Hulk, adifferent characterand a different wayof viewing theMarvel universe, andsecond, it has far lessemoted action and ismore introverted.

The story begins asthus: David BruceBanner (EdwardNorton, “FightClub”), a biologist, istesting what hebelieves is a way toresist radiation.Unknown to him heis actually messingwith a super-soldierserum and when hetests it on himself heunleashes his inner

demon, the Hulk, amassive, destructivebeast.

Following theHulk’s creation, thestory picks up whenBanner is in Brazilhiding from GeneralRoss (William Hurt,“Dune”), who seeksto have the secrets ofthe Hulk. Ross stopsat nothing, sendingthe vicious MajorBlonsky (Tim Roth,“Planet of the Apes”2001) to hunt downBanner and eventual-ly causing the cre-ation of one ofMarvels’ worst supervillains ever -Abomination.

This film is direct-ed by Louis Leterrier,“Transporter 2,” andhas some kick-arseaction sequences thelikes of which willamaze some audiencemembers. The char-acter development isintense, with realemotions being dis-played as Banner andcrew clash in orbit ofthis thing that is theHulk. Although thefilm does feel too

short, not promotingenough characterdiversity.

The DVD has tonsof extras, featuringcommentary, a lack-luster animaticsequence, behind thescenes commentarythat has detailedinsights and so muchmore. Not to mentionthat it comes with thenow patented digitalcopy which can beeasily uploaded intothe computer(sweet!). And, as inthe theatre release,there is an Iron Mancameo at the moviestail end - nerdgasmof the highest degree.

All in all this Hulkis much better thanAng Lees’ nightmar-ish 2003 release of“Hulk.” It has somespot on performancesand some great detailto story. There are afew weak moments,but this is a greatfilm. The DVDrelease of the“Incredible Hulk”receives a 4 out of 5star rating. Rent it,buy it, just see it.

Maybe you've found thatquitting dip or chew is noteasy. But you can do it andhere’s why you should.

Spit tobacco use may causecancer of the mouth.

Sugar in spit tobacco maycause decay in exposed toothroots.

Dip and chew can causeyour gums to pull away fromthe teeth in the place wherethe tobacco is held. The gumsdo not grow back.

White patches and red soresare common in dippers andchewers and can turn into can-cer.

Research shows that usingspit tobacco may cause pan-creatic cancer. Spit tobaccouse might assist in the devel-opment of cardiovascular dis-ease.

A can-a-day dip habit costsnearly $1,100 per year.Likewise a pouch-a-daychewing tobacco habit costsover $700 a year. Think of all

the other things you could dowith that money.

The smell of spit tobacco inyour mouth is unpleasant.While you may have becomeused to the odor, others aroundyou notice. Brushing yourteeth won't make the tobaccojuice stains go away.

Nicotine, found in all tobac-co products, is a highly addic-tive drug that acts in the brainand throughout the body. Dipand chew contain more nico-tine than cigarettes.Kicking the spit or chew habitcan be tough, but you can doit.

You have to want to quit tomake it through those first fewweeks off tobacco. Don't letoutside influence get in yourway.

Pick your quit date. Even ifyou think you're ready to quitnow, take at least a week toget ready. Low-stress timesare best for quitting.Cut back before you quit

Some people are able to quitspit tobacco "cold turkey".Others find that cutting backmakes quitting easier.Cut back to half of your usualamount before you quit. Tryleaving your tin or pouchbehind. Carry substitutesinstead such as sugar-freechewing gum, hard candies orsunflower seeds.

Notice when your cravingsare strongest. What eventstrigger dipping or chewing foryou? Go as long as you possi-bly can without giving into acraving. Now, pick three ofyour strongest triggers andstop dipping or chewing atthose times.

It's a good idea to avoidyour dipping and chewingpals while you're trying toquit. That will help avoid theurge to reach for a can orchew.

Don't switch to other tobac-co products like cigarettes! Ifyou smoke, this is a good time

to quit.Right before your quit day

let friends, family, and co-workers know you're quitting,and that you may not be yourusual self for a week or two.Ask them to be patient.

Suggest ways they can help,like joining you for a walk,helping you find ways to keepbusy and telling you theyknow you can do it. If theyuse dip or chew, ask them notto offer you any.Make your quit day specialright from the beginning.

Change daily routines tobreak away from tobacco trig-gers. When you eat breakfast,don't sit in the usual place atthe kitchen table. Get right upfrom the table after meals.

Start the day with a walk. Itwill help you relax. It boostsenergy, stamina and all-aroundfitness and curbs yourappetite.

Withdrawal symptoms don'tlast long.

Symptoms are strongest thefirst week after you quit. Theworst part is over after 2weeks.

Urges to dip, cravings. Deepbreathing and exercise helpyou feel better right away.

Feeling irritable, tense, rest-less, impatient. Walk awayfrom the situation. Deepbreathing and exercise help toblow off steam.

Constipation/irregularity.Add fiber to your diet (wholegrain breads and cereals, freshfruits and vegetables).

Hunger and weight gain.Feeling hungry is sometimesmistaken for the desire to dipor chew. Eat regular, well-bal-anced meals and avoid fattyfoods. Keep low-calorie foodshandy for snacks.

Desire for sweets. Reachfor low-calorie sweet snacks(like apples, sugar-free gumsand candies).

Drink 6 to 8 glasses ofwater each day.

Work about 30 minutes ofdaily exercise into your routine.

Write down some of yourtriggers and what you'll doinstead of dip or chew

Get rid of any leftovertobacco.

Quitting takes practice.Try not to slip, but if you do,

get right back on track. A slipdoes not mean "failure.”Figure out why you slippedand how to avoid it next time. CONGRATULATIONS! Ifyou can stay off 2 weeks, thenyou know you can beat thisaddiction. Don't give up!

Healthy Tips for better Living: Spit Tobacco: A Guide for QuittingProvided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, the National Cancer Institute and SE’s Student Health Services

It’s time for change, all Americans agree. And we sawthat agreement Tuesday night at the polls. WithObama’s new presidency comes new everything. Iwould like to take the time to talk about some of hisenvironmental plans for our country that hopefullywon’t fall short of victory. After all, as we’ve discussed,every person counts.

New Energy for America: Barack Obama and JoeBiden have a comprehensive energy plan that providesimmediate relief to struggling families. It also summonsthe nation to face one of the great challenges of ourtime; confronting our dependence on foreign oil,addressing the moral, economic and environmental chal-lenges of global climate change and building a cleanenergy future that benefits all Americans.

The Obama-Biden comprehensive New Energy forAmerica plan will provide short-term relief to Americanfamilies facing pain at the pump, help create 5 millionnew jobs by strategically investing $150 billion over thenext ten years to catalyze private efforts to build a cleanenergy future, plans within 10 years to save more oilthan we currently import from the Middle East andVenezuela combined, will put 1 million Plug-In Hybridcars- cars that can get up to 150 miles per gallon- on theroad by 2015, cars that we will work to make sure arebuilt here in America. It also ensures 10 percent of ourelectricity will come from renewable sources by 2012,and 25 percent by 2025, and the plan will implement aneconomy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce green-house gas emissions 80 percent by 2050.

Whether we live in a red state or not, the time fordeciding which candidate to vote for is over. So manytimes we see Americans complaining about the outcomeof our government. When asked if they voted, they allapathetically reply with a no. I’m very proud to see somany young people stepping up and doing theirresearch to make a suitable decision for our greatnation. I encourage you to stand with us in preservingour earth, employing our citizens and caring for oneanother in a way that this country has needed for solong. Let’s be the change.

Sara Peterson and members of the Peterson family pose with SE PresidentMichael D. Turner at the commemoration of the Bob Peterson EndowedCommunication Scholarship. The late Mr. Peterson was owner and publisherof the Durant Democrat for many years. Peterson’s popular “Keeping in Step”column was a staple of the newspaper. He wrote it for 47 years. His motto was“get it first, but get it right.” Peterson passed away in 2004.

A traveling man with amission to save the world.That’s Josh Hendrickson, a stu-dent at Southeastern.Hendrickson is seeking hisbachelors in chemistry andbiology and wants to attendOU Medical School.

Hendrickson is a graduate ofThackerville High School. Atage 21 Hendrickson has beenprominent in his home, com-munity and Durant.

A member of the MariettaBaptist church, Hendricksonhas been on numerous medicalmission trips.

Hendrickson’s first missiontrip was to Guatemala were heassisted doctors in the cam-paign of “Doctors WithoutBorders.”

He has seen the poverty of afamily he lived with thatcooked all night to sell foodduring the day. The medicalteam hiked up mountains toremote villages to perform

small surgeries and childbirths.All the sick were lined up out-side, Hendrickson recalled.

Hendrickson’s last trip wasto Liberia, Africa where hestayed with doctors and nurseson a cruise ship named MercyAfrica. The mission lasted sixweeks.

To arrive there he had totake a plane from Dallas-Ft.Worth to New York. There wasa delay in Dallas and he had torun to his terminal in NewYork to make the departure.

After New York there was alayover in Belgium for 13hours. In Belgium water coststwice as much as beer andMcDonald’s even makes itavailable with their valuemeals. Some people find itpretty amusing that a HappyMeal can come with orangesoda or a “McBeer.”

After this long layover hefinally reached Africa.

A sponsor for the grouptold Hendrickson that the partof Africa they would travel into

was nicknamed "white man'sgrave" because usually mis-sionaries died within threemonths of being down there, towhich Hendrickson replied,“Luckily I'm only there for twomonths. Ha-ha.” Hendrickson reached Africaand began his first day. Theyperformed 36 cataract surgeriesand there were one or two gen-eral anesthesia patients whohad eviscerations (eyeremovals). Four translatorswere necessary to translate the20 some odd dialects of Africafor the group.

The next six weeks werejust as intense, with 20 to 30patients a day and lines of hun-dreds waiting for care. Whentraveling to other remote vil-lages children would yell“white people, white people.”They were very excited to seethem and viewed them asangels of mercy.

“The only way to explainthis trip is amazing,”Hendrickson said.

Alex Moore ready for rivalry

Alex Moore grew up inRowlett, Texas, where heplayed high school ball. In2005 Alex helped Rowlett totheir first playoff appearancein 2 years. Alex’s biggest fansin high school were his broth-er and sister. They’ve missedmost of his college career thusfar due to his brother’s mili-tary service in Iraq and his sis-ter’s residence at Prairie ViewA&M University in Houston.

“Big Herm,” as he is knownby his teammates, says helikes to pattern his game afterDallas Cowboy starDeMarcus Ware.

In the last 3 games Alex haspicked up 16 tackles and 2.5sacks as the Southeasterndefense has shut down offens-es when it counted resultingin a 3-game winning streak.

“When you get 40 points puton you over and over, theplaymakers start to step up,”Alex said of the new-foundmotivation, adding that theteam has really come togeth-er.

Alex explains that the suc-cess of the defense can beattributed to one thing: theirswag. “We have a swaggerwhen we’re out there becausewe know we’ve got the tal-

ent.” Moore added that it’sthis swagger that will give theStorm a chance to competeheavily with the LSC Southnext year for the overall title.

“Our o-line can push aroundany d-line if they want, wehave the receivers and backsto pressure the defense, andthe quarterbacks to make theright decisions, they just haveto have confidence that theycan,” Moore said of his team-mates.

As for this year,Southeastern still has workleft to do. With ECU comingin this weekend for a rivalryshowdown, “Big Herm”understands the importance oftaking the game seriously.

“They haven’t done muchthis year, but they’ve got play-makers just like we’ve gotplaymakers. They hate us, wehate them, it’s always beenthat way.”
