Students prepare for spring
by hitting the tanning beds
■ Local salons report a boost
in business as nice weather
approaches and students
prepare for spring break
By Diane Huber
Oregon Daily Emerald
Each year, a strange phenomenon
occurs at Precision Cuts and Tan
ning: The sun peeks out somewhere
in mid-February, students become
suddenly self-conscious about their
pasty-white skin and Precision
Cuts’ tanning schedule becomes
completely booked.
For some students, the sun’s first
appearance is a reminder that
spring break is fast-approaching,
and preparation for trips to Mexico
and California won’t be complete
without a “healthy” glow.
Precision Cuts manager Cara Hill
said business picked up about three
weeks ago. Before that, “You could
walk in any time of day and get in
within the hour.” Now, students
should schedule their tans at least a
day in advance, she said.
“The instant the sun comes out,
(students) want to do outdoor stuff.
... They want to look like they’ve
been outside.”
But the No. 1 reason business
boosts in March is because students
are going on vacation for spring
break, Hill said.
“If (students) are going to sunny
places, they don’t want to get burned.
They want a base tan,” she said.
The biggest portion of Hill’s clien
tele are students, almost equally
male and female, and she said busi
ness ebbs and flows with students’
vacations. This means once sum
mer hits, her business goes back
down, she said.
Senior Heidi Tweedt is heading
for Southern California for spring
break, and she said she’s been tan
ning in preparation since February.
She said she tans more frequently
since moving to Eugene from Cali
fornia to attend the University.
“It makes you feel better when
you have a little color, even though
it’s super bad for you,” she said.
But not all students pre-tan prior
to spring break traveling. Heidi
Phillips is going to California with
Tweedt, but said she isn’t going to
tan beforehand.
“I tanned once, and I burned really *
badly,” she said. “I’m definitely
whiter than everyone else, but that’s
better than being painfully red. ”
Hill said tans aren’t the only busi
ness that increases as spring break
approaches. People also come in for
haircuts, she said.
People “are ready for a change,”
she said. “They’ve had the same
haircut all winter.”
Business also increases in March
at Pineapple Kiss Swimwear, ac
cording to owner Marcia Knee. But
her business comes primarily from
“professional working women”
who have the money to travel and
“come in to buy two or three suits,”
she said. Students, she said, don’t
have as much money to stock up on
new swimwear, but business does
increase for students as well as
spring nears.
For Tweedt, tanning is more than
preparation for her spring-break vaca
tion —tanning improves her mood.
“It rains so much here.... I am in a
better mood after I tan,” she said. “I
feel like I’ve been at the beach all day. ”

Officials warn against chew, snuff
■ Research shows smokeless
tobacco is used by 16 percent
of 18- to 25-year-old males
By John Liebhardt
Oregon Daily Emerald
Chew, chaw, dip, plug, wad and
snuff.
Whatever it’s called, smokeless to
bacco is a public health dilemma. As
lawmakers are placing increasing re
strictions on cigarette smokers in
bars, restaurants and workplaces,
health officials are seeing a rising
use in smokeless nicotine alterna
tives. More and more often, that al
ternative is smokeless tobacco.
“Chewing tobacco is something
you can do in a smokeless environ
ment,” said Herb Severson, a senior
research specialist at Oregon Re
search Institute.
Smokeless tobacco use has
climbed steadily among males from
age 18 to 25. At least 16 percent of
this age group uses a form of smoke
less tobacco, Severson said, which is
a number he called “pretty high.”
Alec Horley is one of those users.
Horley’s brand of choice is Skoal.
He’s been chewing tobacco for
nearly three years and is now up to
a tin a day.
“The first dip I had, I thought it
was disgusting,” the University
sophomore said. “Now, it’s almost
delicious.”
Horley knows his math. He knows
that because the list price of a tin of
Skoal runs more than $5 on campus,
tobacco can be a pretty expensive
habit. He also hears the warnings
about tobacco use and bad health.
Horley said a friend told him he
may have a precancerous growth
on his lower lip.
“It’s pretty bad, considering (the

friendis) pre-med,” Horley said.
Even after countless health warn
ings, sin taxes to keep the price high
and national advertising campaigns
warning of its risks, Horley still goes
back to chew every day. However,
he won’t use it everywhere.
“I don’t use it in class — I consid
er myself a ladies’ man,” he said.
University health officials con

health concerns on campus. They
have begun a series of smoking ces

ers and chewers to give up tobacco.
