Simons almost lost her job this
year. Because desk assistants were
being hired through work study
programs, housing services planned
to fill the positions with work study
students. Luckily for Simons, not
enough work study students needed
their positions.
"By the grace of God, I got my
job again," Simons said. "When I
thought I didn't have a job here, 1
was hurt. I knew I'd miss the greai
staff members."
Few major problems occur ai
Preston Hall, Simon said, because
she claims it mainly houses "more
mature" upperclassmen. Having tc
call people who have exceeded
their visitation limit or dealing
with someone who has had toe
much to drink are two issues thai
she handles a lot, especially or
weekends.
But Simons' least favorite pari
of the job is one that haunts hei
daily: girlfriends with attitudes.

come in alone sometimes to
see the log-in sheet of who's

The line up of music is only possible
because of the calibre of
musicians that make up the USC
Orchestra. The music the orchestra
plays would be considered difficult
for a major orchestra to play well
and it is a compliment to
Portnoy and the students at USC
that they play at a level which prepares
them for orchestra careers. If
last season is any indication, this
season will be a great one.

we're really strict about visitation
policies this year. Sometimes last
year, visitors who had figured out
ways to gain entry into the building
after visiting hours would run out
the front door past the desk assistant
