Students who are thinking of changing their body into a work of art can find healthful tips before heading to the tattoo and piercing parlor and can learn what to do afterwards. If students are having problems with stress and sleep depriva tion because of midterms, shs.tamu.edu also gives helpful tips to manage time and stress levels. But this site is more than just a body art guide and stress reliever. SHS benefits students looking for relationship advice, sexual health information, cancer warning signs or Aggie REACH volunteers. Frequently asked questions about student parking, arriving 20 minutes early to appointments and class excuses are all answered on this site. There is also an opportunity for students to win money. While some information tends to be a little lengthy, and stu dents wouldn’t browse this site for hours of pleasure, shs.tamu.edu is a solid resource for students feeling sick or wanting to know the best ways to stay healthy. 80s.com As much as everyone may try, no one can forget the 1980s. Bis hair, punk rock and “Back To The Future” were a way of life. However, the 80s were more than tube socks and Converse snd ers. The online 80s server fills in the blanks left in people’s minds about the decade, focusing on TV, music, politics and sports. Outside of facts about the 80s, the Web site features games, trivia and polls dedicated to the decade. The site even offers visitors a chance to purchase 80s merchandise. The layout is also a step back in time with hot pinks, blues and yellows as the main color scheme Unfortunately, that step back is limited by the need for a VIP membership. While much of the site is free to anyone visiting, there are large portions that are password protected. VIP membershipto the 80s server is $39.95 a year or $3.95 a month. Membership unlocks sections of the Web site and allows users the option to create an e-mail account. While it’s fun to step back in time for a while and remembera decade as eventful at the 80s, it’s not worth the membership fee. Much of the site’s factoids can be found on free sites if one is will to do a little research.

What about the story of a man setting the cruise control on his car and then crawling into the back seat for a nap? How about the lover’s lane story that ends with a hook on the car door handle? These and other urban legends can be found on the Urban Legends Reference Page (http://www.snopes.com). The Web site’s goal is to record and prove, or disprove, as many urban legends as possible. Urban legends are folklore that come in the form of old wives’ tales, campfire horror stories and bits of misinformation that have been spread and expanded. Most urban legends seem to have a grain of truth to them. If one does, the Urban Legend Reference Page will have that truth flushed out in detail. The Web site is as informative as it is interesting. It puts to rest many rumors and is a great reference tool for obscure facts. The Web site is easy to navigate, and its legends are organ ized by category. In addition, the site’s search engine can find a story relating to almost any topic imaginable, and features a fre quently asked questions page and a message board. However, once one gets past the first page, the site’s layout becomes random. Some pages have music, while others have distracting bright colors. But the information available on the Urban Legends Reference Page makes the design mistakes forgivable. It’s a fun site that should be on everyone’s “favorites” list. The Division of Student Affairs provides an easily accessibldfi site for students and faculty to get the latest campus informatiotff Howdy.tamu.edu lets Aggies preview an entire month of acti# helping students organize their social calendars with community'' events held at Texas A&M and throughout the Brazos Valley. Students can find out what the campus dining facilities, such as Sbisa and Ag Cafe, are serving daily. Better yet, students canclicft the blinking apples for nutrition information about the food served^ campus. The site provides great links to useful sites, such as the campus security site, where users can access criminal behavior statistics. Students can also sign up for free lunch and interaction with J. Malon Southerland, vice president of student affairs. The howdy site is a good source to find maps, a daily weather report, money and banking suggestions, medical contacts and even the words to Aggie songs and yells. The site is an excellent source to keep students and faculty informed about campus happenings. If users can’t find what they're looking for, a suggestion box is available. /Is V/teni Walker Woo< —Shena Bad A hi a s t e of Cyberspace Nr-N-ty-Lp'Uj* Keep on Surfing Web - Worthy Plan to Stay Logged On J|h J^, 0^.
