"I've seen students go off on tangents about how much they love KU basketball without mentioning anything about the program they're applying for," he says.
Stay off personal e-mail and Facebook while at work.
Recognize the generation gap. There's a good chance that the people you will work for will be from a generation where formal manners and professionalism were valued more highly than they are today. Remember that before you throw "loi" into e-mail.
Good manners and etiquette essentially come down to awareness. It's easy to get wrapped up in text messaging or e-mailing, but recognizing the needs of those around you is the first step in courtesy.
Patsy Rowe says good manners contribute to well roundedness and it takes more than being "good on paper" to achieve success.
"I feel that some young people have the idea that their professional learning, their educational qualifications alone, will carry them through life without understanding there has to be a balance. Their personal and interpersonal skills have to be honed.The combination of charm, style and good manners is a pretty hard one to bear, and the good news is, all three can be learned," she says. JP

The Clipse:
Road To Till The Casket Drops
Virginia-based duo The Clipse (Gene and Terrence Thornton) hooked up with Marc Ecko's Complex Magazine to commemorate the December launch of their new clothing line, Play Clothes, by releasing Road To Till The Casket Drops, a free, downloadable prelude to their upcoming LP (Till The Casket Drops).
The mixtape goes hard from the get go, with Pusha T spitting the mixtape's most memorable punch line: "It's the hood's Obama, shoveling McCain/Out the project window the drama's insane/The rap game's upside down like David Blaine/You fans is Times Squared for following them lames." The true highlight of Road To Till The Casket Drops are tracks five through seven where the duo's cold, raspy flows mesh perfectly over minimalist production, most notably on "Pop Champagne." "Numb It Down" marked the first time that Lupe Fiasco has allowed another artist to use the rights to one of his beats, and The Clipse didn't take that opportunity for granted.
Pusha T begins the bass heavy track: "Feel this, I'm fearless, now hear this/Tackled it after Lupe killed it/Push Ton the last son of Mildred/ Stumbled upon the rock like a pilgrim."

The tape rounds out with The Clipse solidifying their swag on "S.I.U." and "Swing Ya Rag" and shouting out every known drug dealer in Virginia on "Feds Taking Pictures." Running just under 37 minutes,The Clipse have just enough time to prove why they have earned the title of being hip-hop's cocaine kings.
