College pays off,: By KEVIN WASSILCHACK oiaii writer What will you remember about college in two years? In 25 years? In 57 years? Three USC graduates said their experiences with college courses proved beneficial in the "real world." The three, who together have nearly 100 years of professional experience, say they arc proof that college courses do pay off. They graduated with their classes in 1929, 1961 and 1984. Susannc Sartcllc, a 1984 graduate, tnajorcd in journalism with emphasis in advertising and public relations. "Aside from the required journalism courses that I had to take, I'd say the theatre and speech classes really paid off," she said. Almost everyday she finds herself faced with the challenge of doing live radio and television interviews where voice inflection to enforce the main points is important. As director of public relations for the Myrtle Rparh Area rhamhpr of fnmmprre chf? cairl feels the knowledge she gained in these courses has proven to be the leading edge in public relations. "In collcge you arc taught to apply what you have learned out of a book into real life situations. The key in public relations is to create with words. One must know how to organize, create and affect the public with smoothly flowing speech," she said.

He said the courses most beneficial to him over ; the years were the core journalism courses, but that his political science minor helped give insight into political aspects. If "If I were to take any additional courses, I'd like * to brush up on economics," he said. "I'd like to better understand economics because it's very important to my job." Russell Maxey, a 1929 graduate of USC with a civil engineer degree, has always had a love for ; engineering and photography. His classes at USC were mainly complex mathematics and architectural engineering, but his hobby of photography went "hand in hand with the engineering process," he said. During his college years, he learned to apply photography to engineering. "It's the basic tool bet- ! If ween the engineer and the construction process until ; " the job is done," he said. His love of photography is preserved through his three books on historical Columbia. They are Historical Columbia, The History of Columbia High and Columbia's Bicentennial. He is currrently working on a graduate thesis titl- ; ed Photography as an Engineering Tool. 1 box .1, cnue 256-1201 O X I I Z 8 DISCOUNTS I )N ALL LINES 1 ART SUPPLIES 1 C o /Vide Range |: O leS . . . g: DT STRATHMORE D'ARCHES * ed some help tiese! -: $ KSJ*'* : ^ :? i b - ^H ) work with the ack Yearbook your help. iddress & phone number to: LUllUI (5131, USC , SC 29208 )R ? 316 Russell House get to USC 1,
