TABLE OF CONTENTS HAWK TOPICS too hot to handle 13 16 REVIEWS we tell you what we think 19 SPEAK hair woes EDITOR'S NOTE Boy, do I know the pain of dealing with acne. Marion Hixon understands my pain (and I'm sure some of you do too) and she is the first to tackle Jayplay's new department: Health. Look to this department to deliver the lowdown on all health/beauty-related issues that currently plague our fine campus. On page 10, Kelsie Smith takes a look into another plague: the Adderall epidemic. She'll tell you why taking your, ahem, "unfocused" roommate's pills may not be a hot idea. For an alternative pill fix, read about Malinda Osborne's experience with herbal supplements. She risked her health to bring us the details of the effects of herbs on her brain. Melissa Byrd also took one for the team by forgoing her usual diet of pepperoni pizza and trying out the new food pyramid. If only I had self-control... Screw it. It's the weekend. Lindsey Ramsey An article in last week's Jayplay needs clarification. Comments about Jomana Qaddour's appearance and attire were portrayed incorrectly, and should not have appeared in the paper. It was not Qaddour's intent, nor that of Jayplay, to make it seem like Qaddour was putting herself on display. Jayplay regrets and apologizes for the fact that the article cast Qaddour in that light.
