From left to right, Justin Jacobson, a sophomore from St. Charles studying journalism; Ashley Herzfeldt, an undecided freshman from Arlington Heights; Billy McGuire, a freshman from Chicago studying architecture; and Sam Stein, a sophomore from Skokie studying criminal justice, sit in a kiddie pool Tuesday outside Faner Hall to recruit for their water polo club. Stein, the team’s secretary, said this was the first time the team tried this recruitment tactic. “There are plenty of kids who swim and play,” Stein said. “We just have to find them.”

The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders will come out in 2013. It is the go-to manual for those working with individuals who have mental disorders. The committee in charge of the manual has eliminated five of the 10 personality disorders.

One of those disorders includes narcissism, to which I disagree.

Their logic is a disorder disrupts order. If narcissism is the majority, then it no longer disrupts the order but instead becomes the order. In other words, with the majority of the American people being narcissistic, narcissism is now a characteristic of American culture.

Narcissism is contradictory to cultural living; therefore it is a disorder.

Culture is about all of the people, not specifically the individual. John F. Kennedy

addressed this issue in his speech when he said, “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” I like to switch out the word “country” for “neighbors.”

If a narcissistic majority makes it okay, then what of something like psychopathy? If it were to spread through the people as fast as narcissism, would they throw psychopathy out of the DSM?

With their previous reasoning, it would have to be thrown out. The majority of us would

live with a lesser and shallower emotional spectrum. It would be like having all of the vivid colors stripped from our sight, getting used to everything being pale and being okay with it, not knowing better. So, what ought we to do with our narcissism?

We should all be aware of the fact that we have narcissistic tendencies. Most of us have a Facebook, a Twitter, a Flickr, an Instagram, etc. — a page of a website is dedicated to you. How many times a day do you check out your page and see what

people said about or to you?This, ladies and gentlemen,

is narcissism. Though it seems minute in comparison to the rest of our lives, it is because we have a suspiciously small guise. We were brought into this world by two people, no matter who they are. Step one of annihilating narcissism in our lives is realizing how much we owe others rather than ourselves.

Let us make a commitment to add to our lives, to experience every color and live mindfully of ourselves.

Max Senteney of Carbondale, a gardener for the Carbondale Park District, pulls weeds Tuesday at Turley Park after planting new flowers. Senteney said the park district initiated the planting in an effort to revive the colorful gardens after the drought browned the park scenery. “Since conditions have started to improve, we’ve been weeding and planting to make the gardens look better,” he said.

Aries — Today is a 7 — There’s plenty of work to be done, and it’s the lucrative kind. But there are also plenty of distractions. Add a dash of fun and spice to keep it interesting.

Taurus — Today is a 7 — Feed on other people’s ideas, and add your personal brilliance. Others look to you for advice; see how you can make it work for you, financially.

Gemini — Today is a 7 — Go for it. There’s really nothing stopping you, even if it seems so. You may fail, but you won’t know if you don’t try. Restore your power through yoga.

Cancer — Today is a 5 — Reinvention is called for. Your intuition and creativity come to the rescue. Co-workers get inspired and join the project. At the end, you’re all stronger.

Leo — Today is a 7 — Do the necessary research, and find the very best deal so you don’t spend the money that you’ll need later. Don’t overthink it, though. Trust your instinct. Add respect.

Virgo — Today is a 7 — Make an educated decision. They’re saying nice things about you at work. Ask for more (and get it). Friends help you get the word out. There’s fun going on, and you’re in the thick of it.

Libra — Today is an 8 — Take on a leadership role. With your excitement, everything seems easier now. Close the door for more privacy. Discard junk and gain creativity.

Scorpio — Today is an 8 — Improve your home with a touch of love. Listen for miracles. Don’t force the issue, though. Your fame precedes you. Walk the walk.

Sagittarius — Today is a 7 — Dedicate some time to write, as you’re very persuasive now. A walk outdoors helps clear up your ideas. Play the game, listen to your intuition and score.

Capricorn — Today is a 6 — It’s worth the extra effort to put your ideas in action. You’re getting more and more curious. Revamp your wardrobe. All it takes is a little juggling.

Aquarius — Today is an 8 — Work from home, and use money to make money. Your friends cover for you, but you have to ask them. A happy secret gets revealed. Provide information.

Pisces — Today is a 5 — Your genius and efforts are appreciated. Grasp the new opportunities coming your way. Don’t be afraid to assume authority. A familiar routine is comforting.

Freshman golfer Mattie Lindner, left, and senior golfer Amber Phillips, right, practice their full swing Tuesday at Hickory Ridge Public Golf Course. Head coach Alexis Mihelich said practices focus on technical skills and then the practical application of those skills. “They work on technicalities, then put it into play,” Mihelich said. “When they’re in a real game, they have to be able to switch modes.”
