August 20, 2010 WESTERN CAROLINIAN re) fs Page Our Take Find out what's going on Incoming and transfer students on Western Car- olina Universitys campus should keep the follow- ing information handy to obtain information about whats going on around campus and learn about up-to-date news. Students can pick up a copy of The Western Carolinian, listen to 90.5FM and/or Channel 22 and watch TV62. They can also use online profiles and Internet sites, Facebook is one way to do this. Many students only use Facebook as a social networking site, but it can actually be used to share information, pictures and videos. Organizations on campus have Facebook groups and send out event invitations to members. By befriending The West- ern Carolinian, WCU Counselors, athletic coaches and other groups, students can keep track of events happening on and off campus. Another social networking site exploding on the Web right now is Twitter. As a student, if you do not have a Twitter by now then you need to get one. Twitter may appear to be similar to Facebook status updates, but its so much more. Twitter al- lows people to follow news organizations and even WCU news outlets. You. can even change your pro- file settings and get tweets sent directly to your phone. If tweets are a little too invasive for your taste, then send direct messages that only you and the respondent can read on Twitter. If you are ahead of the pack and already have a Twitter account, consider following these WCU outlets: @WCUsnewspaper, @WCU @P. Times are changi new way to not only keep in contact with friends, but to keep up with whats going on in the world and on your college campus. Get involved with us Interested in journalism?

Sou cain TORe ] THE BELover Gasarineg ] Ghancea WIth Tenvad THE SWlGLE-THEORY-TO- EXPLas-EVERYTHING Mantac Sex and the Valley elby Harrell | WC Editor Hooking up in college is an all too regular occurrence; its not only deadly (because of all the diseases floating out there), but because it sometimes can have negative affects, espe- cially for freshmen college students who may not be ex- perienced in relationships. Lets say you get to col- lege and all of a sudden, you aren't under mom and dads Tock and key, so you decide to run crazy totally. You start to hook up with some people, which soon becomes habit- ual - the next thing you know, you find yourself depressed or heartbroken or pregnant. Just to set the record straight, hooking up, is a vague term that ranges from person to person. Its defini- tion can range from gentle touching to intercourse. But according to UrbanDiction- ary.com, hooking up is de- fined as engaging in romantic or sexual activity with another, usually at a gathering or party. It usually involves little or no emotional attachment. A person sees this attrac- tive guy/girl at a party. They talk for a while and realize that they have chemistry between them. One thing may lead to another, and they hook up. The next day, the pair returns back to their normal lives. This is hooking up. According to a survey of 555 college students taken by Elizabeth Paul, a psychol- ogy professor at the College of New Jersey, 78 percent of college students participate in this ritual Hooking v is as popular: i as it has ever been among col- lege students, according to a Journal of Sex Research study. According to the study, college students hook up because of the short-term commitment, and the no-strings attached sex. With hooking up, one does not have to worry about the obligation of having a rela- tionship and only staying with one person. But with causal sex comes some negative emotional ef- fects, which could be a big Debbie downer for some. Those interested in more. than a physical relationship may feel empty in other emo- tional ways. Someone could feel used or rejected from a hook up, and other times (since guys views and girls views are so different) men and women may not agree to the terms of a hook up which can result in someone getting their feelings hurt. Along with emotional dis- tress that is associated with hooking up, sexually trans- mitted diseases (STDs) are more likely to occur with multiple partners. Accord- ing to The Center for Disease Control, two-thirds of STDs occur in people 25 years old or younger, and, by age 24, one in four sexually active peo- ple will contract some type of STD, Alcohol use is generally a foundation when it comes to hooking up, especially in college, About half of those ADORE Labet Sag =>" AOE 10 GREE OFTEN VOR see THE MIGHTY FAMOUS BlosHor GRERT Reprano). | AOVANTAGES: GaSY TO (GNORE.. iy 4ou'as wh cones. | Warne: THE IS LICE. who reported hook-ups that included sexual intercourse under the influence of alco- hol did not use or were less likely to use a condom. So whats wrong with drunken hook ups with no con- doms? Well if you wouldnt be concerned in this situation in this day and age, then you must have been living under a rock these past 10 years. We all know about the dan- gers of STDs, and while sex is fun and can seem glamor- ous, there is nothing glamor- ous about Gonorrhea. Adolescents and young adults sexual attitudes and behaviors have gotten a lot of attention the past decade. Trends have shown a decline in traditional forms of dating, which tell us that casual sex has become an alternative to the traditional exclusive sex- ual relationships, It is still important no matter what your age or sexual matu- -rity that you consider all of the effects of hooking up, espe- cially if its a new experience LETTERS POLICY ney the Valley SGX for you. There are dangers of being considered easy, which is generally not a com- pliment for women, and you may also be in danger of get- ting very attached to someone who is not interested in any- thing more than your body. My advice would be to make sure that you are physi- cally and emotionally prepared to just hook up with someone, because sometimes (usually involving girls) people hook up and realize they want more. Times have changed and so has the perspective of sex, So it is now your job as col-. lege students to take care of yourself both physically and emotionally. This is college so go and get crunk when you want, but by all means be safe about it. Col- lege may be the best 4 years of your life, but the best 4 years shouldnt be worth giving up a happy future.
