Before college students are eligible to cast their first vote in the national Presidential election, they have an important decision to make: How will they register to vote? For students from North Carolina, the process is simple. However, out-of-state stude nts have bigger decisions to make. N.C. natives who are not a felon must register by Oct. 10 and can do so at agencies like the Division of Motor Vehicles, local public libraries or high schoo ls, or through the College Democrats in conjunction with the Department of Student Life at HPU. Residents of N.C. who will not be available to vote during the time of the general election may also register and vote at a one-stop absentee site as early as 19 days before the election.

Straight Talk with Dr. Nido Qubein A young man whom I had known since he was in high school stopped by to see me and proudly displayed his new MBA. "I know a master's degree alone doesn't guarantee success," he said. "What do you think is the most important quality for someone who wants to become a business leader?" I answered without hesitation: The ability to conununicate. Individuals who communicate effectively with people at all levels, of both genders, and from a variety of cultures and backgrounds are today's pacesetters. In the old-style hierarchical, authoritarian setting, communication is relatively simple. TI1e top person tells the underlings to jump, and the underlings need only ask, "How high?" In a modern organization, communication requires more finesse.

Th e door to effective communication will open to anyone who uses these three keys: (1) Desire : Human infants have an inborn desire to communicate, and that desire enables them to pick up words quickly and to enlarge their vocabularies continuously. (2) Understanding the process: Reduced to basics, commun ication consists of sending and rece iving messages. Language is the primary conveyer of thoughts and ideas. It turns abstract concepts into words that symbolize those thoughts. Th ose words take the form of spoke n sounds or written symbols. (3) Master the basic skills: Some people think the first requis ite for good communication is an exhaustive vocabulary. Some people think it's impossible to communicate well without first absorbing a heavy dose of grammar, then memorizing a dictionary of English usage. Read the Gettysburg Address, The Sermon on the Mount or Robert Frost's poetry. The communications that endure are written in plain, simple language.
