The Center for Career Choice will
conduct the second of a five-session
workshop on job interviewing skills
Monday at the Counseling and Testing
Center on the third floor of the Univer-
sity Union.
Students may attend the series on
Mondays from 2 to 3:30 p.m. or on
Thursdays from 3 to 5:30 p.m, said Dr.
Fred Lopez, coordinator for the Center
for Career Choice, a division of the
Counseling and Testing Center.
Dr. Lopez said it is not too late for
students to participate.
The workshop is designed to help stu-
dents develop interviewing skills.
Some of the topics to be discussed in-
clude why people are accepted and re-
jected, how to organize knowledge
about yourself, personal appearance,
how to set up interviews, what are
typical questions in job interviews and
Lovers swallow bewitching potion
Cunning women's approach lingers on Valentine tradition
Bv BARBARA CORDRAY
Staff Writer
Valentine's Day is a day for lovers and
friends, but those who only have been
able to gaze at their loves from afar can
still have hope.
Love potions are available.
Love potions are associated with
witchcraft and voodoo, and some
cultures, such as in Haiti, still use them.
Dr. Joseph Gray of the sociology and
anthropology faculty said.
If someone in the Denton area wants
to buy some of the magic potion, Dr.
Gray said, he could check with occult
bookstore owners in Dallas who could
direct him to witches who could come up
with some.
Although there is no recorded date for
the first love potion developed, Dr. Gray
said, "they (potions) could be found all
over the world. They were first men-
tioned in Europeon history about the
Middle Ages.

"Cunning women would make the
love potions for women. Usually the
woman (requesting the potion) was a
wife who was worried about losing her
husband.
"She (the wife) would get the potion
from the cunning woman and put it
somewhere around her house, under a
pillow or in a chair or whatever."
Some women wanted the potion to at-
tract men away from their wives, he said.
Although love potions were used
primarily by women, they also were
available for men "With males, (the use
of the love potion) was often more of a
seductive thing," Dr. Gray said. "They
wanted something to make them feel
more attractive."
However, love potions usually were
desired by people who wanted to in-
crease their self-confidence.
Love potions come in many shapes
and forms. If someone wants to keep his
lover's affection, he would use
something other than a liquid, such as
(lowers or candy. If the potion was
needed only for a temporary fling, a li-
quid would give a more drunken affect,
Dr. Gray said.
The ingredients of love potions vary
from mix to mix, but a rose often was
used as a main ingredient. "The rose was
used mainly becuasc it's red, a color as-
sociated with love," he said. "Belladon-
na was also used. In large amounts, it
(belladonna) can be poisonous, but in
small amounts it can be a hallucinogen."
Other items used were drugs that
dilated a person's eyes, and symbolic
things, such as flowers, that lasted a long
time (symbolizing faithfulness), also
were used, he said.
Witches became associated with love
during the Salem witchcraft trials in the
American colonies during the 1600s.
Three Puritan girls who wanted to see
who their future husbands would be
started the witchcraft trials, Dr. Gray
said. The girls followed a ritual of star-
ing into an egg in a glass much like peo-

discourages
smokers
The Dallas American Lung Associa-
tion designated Valentine's Day as a
non-smoking day, Kim DeWitt, director
of public relations, said.
The association is urging all smokers
to quit smoking for someone they love
with the help of two new manuals
published by the A LA, she said.
One manual, titled "Freedom from
Smoking," provides a smoker with a
program to quit smoking in 21 days.
The program can be used at the con-
venience of the smoker and without any
group participation, Ms. DeWitt said.
The manual outlines the stop-smoking
program in two sections. One section
helps the smoker stop smoking. The
other section is a maintenance manual to
keep the person from smoking again.
The second manual is titled "Life of
Freedom from Smoking" and discusses
the benefits of living without smoking.

how to respond effectively.
Other activities will include a short
film on non-verbal communication and
a practice interview.
One of the highlights will be when the
students are videotaped during the prac-
tice interview. "This will help the stu-
dents see themselves in an actual inter-
view situation," Dr. Lopez said.
The counseling and testing staff is of-
fering the workshop because many stu-
dents are unprepared in the area of inter-
viewing when they try to enter the job
market, he said.
Interested students may sign up in the
Center for Career Choice. A $ 10 fee will
be charged to cover the cost of materials
and videotaping.

"One of the girls saw herself in a cof-

and the girls became hysterical," he said.
"They (the Puritans) associated this with
the devil."
Modern witches look upon love po-
tions with disdain. "They look at them
as something tacky, like reading palms,"
Dr. Gray said.
If someone is unable to find a witch to
make the potion, how-to books on the
art of making love potions are available
for the do-it-yourself person.
Fortunately, love potions are not re-
quired for all love relationships. In most
cases, the pure and simple magic of love
itself is enough.

fall victim to times
It may have taken more than 2,000
years, but inflation has finally reached
ancient Greek scholars.The
phenomenon was discovered when Dr.
(iustave lerre of the philosophy faculty
instructed his introductory philosophy
students to purchase a small paperback
book of Plato's writings as a supplement
to the course's textbook
Dr. l erre was amazed to hear that the
70-page book, last copyrighted in 1956,
cost $2.40.
"When I started using it, it only cost
35 cents," he said.
After puzzling over the situation brief-
ly, he said "It seems strange that it
should cost so much more because Plato
hasn't added a word to those writings in
centuries."
