they are visiting universities
across the country as part of the
National Student Exchange
program.
On the other hand, USC has
accepted 20 students in return.
Accounting junior Todd Hoffine,
from the University of
Wyoming, is one of those atten
uing lor a year.
"It's a challenge," he said.
"You just get so used to
everything being the same."
He chose USC because of the
weather, southern hospitality and
golf and said he has no regrets.
"I think there's a lot of history
here," he said.
"It's like being a freshman all
over again," accounting major
Beth Rcilly said. She is from the
University of Massachusetts at
Amherst and she chose USC
because she likes the area, the
people and Hilton Head Island.
Elementary education junior
Wendy Clark from the University
of Delaware is president of the

Association, a club for NSE participants.

"I find the weather quite conducive
to non-academics," said
Dhru Ciirard. Originally from the
University of North Dakota, he is
in continuing education and
plans to stay here for a year.
According to Susan Heyward,
coordinator of academic support
programs since 1982, an exchange
is an opportunity to sec
more than a university. In past
years, exchange students have
traveled to Charleston. Atlanta
and Savannah. Last winter, NSE
participants went skiing in Banner
Elk, N. C.
In addition, exchange students
must belong to National Student
Exchange Association. Hey ward,
who acts as advisor, said, "It's a
support to help the students
become adjusted to Carolina."
Those who want to participate
in NSE must have a minimum 2.5

Each person must have
completed one semester at their
home campus before exchange
and preferably be a sophomore
or junior. Exchange programs at
USC are for a year or a semester,
and some other universities have
summer nroerams.
The decision to send a student
to an NSE campus is made at
USC by a four-person committee.
However, placement is not
guaranteed, especially to popular
locations.
Heyward said placement is
similar to a brokerage system,
comprised of three rounds. The
first round is competitive, and
often direct student exhanges are
made. Second and third rounds
include more diversified tradeoffs.
The object in all rounds is to
place the student at a university
beneficial to everyone involved,

According to Bernard NzoNguty
of the Office of International
Exchange and Study
Abroad Programs, USC students
have four options for international
study: USC sponsored programs,
the International Student
Exchange Program, applying
directly to a foreign university or
exchange in cooperation with
another American university.

applying dircctly to USC.
Students who want to study
abroad must have a minimum
GFR of 3.0, said Nzo-Nguty.
Selection of students is standardized,
and placement is competitive.
Junior year is the ideal
time to study abroad, and
students may apply for a year, a
semester or sometimes a summer.

In addition to building cultural
awareness, programs are held to
help make foreign students feel
welcome at USC. Every Friday
from noon to 1 p.m., Columbia

American and foreign students.
The council works in cooperation
with USC, and various groups

146 proposed agreements.

credibility, the fact that the
: movie is filmed in Reno with little
- cinematographic coverage of the
i area is an absolute error on the ^
part of Director Donna Dcitch.
' Except for one explicit sexual

martyrs for their cause instead of

<; One positive aspect of "Desert

I '50s rock 'n' roll is appropriate
lor the movie's late DUs setting,
s Artists such as Elvis Presly and
Patsy Cline are part of the sounde
track. An ironic scene involves a
dance where Cline's "Stand By
1 Your Man" is playing.

major point of "Desert Hearts,"

a trite. But witnessing with closed
eyes, the viewer may hear some
