"Fishing Pole Song" is about the disarray of the welfare system while "Tempted" was motivated by the movie Alive. "Boy Vs. Girl" is the most personal and personable song on the four-song cassette. The chorus opens with "She spends her time thinking about the boy." Eventually, it gives way to the more regrettable "She wastes her time thinking about the boy." In its Milo Aukerman/Descendants kind of way it simplistically yet perfectly describes that time in between happiness and regret. The happy thoughts of yesterday are met with the head shrugs of today.

M PILLOW Staff Writer For students looking ahead to a isible foreign exchange stint, optunities are more abundant than ir, according to David Ross, assoje director of the International Stuit Exchange Program at USC. The ISEP office, while only one of ny exchange programs at USC, can ve as an easy place to begin the ring process for anyone interested itudying abroad, because of each gram's different restrictions and iracteristics, Ross said. "Students from all disciplines can 1 programs which will accept them, I we advertise for many of the difsnt programs on campus," he said, lot of programs aren't directly run ough here, but we do serve as a d starting point." While Ross' office usually requires 0 GPA to participate, he said most dents with a 2.0 or better would be e to find a receptive program. The ior year is normally the most popr, and safest, time to go. "For many, it works out best for jurs," Ross said. "As a senior, it's a le difficult because students have y specific requirements to fulfill, dors can apply as sophomores and in the blanks as seniors." And here are flexible summer proms that students can participate as early as the summer after your hman year," Ross said, at 50 to 60 s overseas through ISEP or any of programs run through the unirity.

It has been at USC for the past 10 years after a short layoff in the early 1980's, contributing to the 250 to 300 USC students that go abroad each year. Ross says behind personal knowledge that the experience is second to none. "As far as being able to interact with people of different cultures and to realize your way is not the only way to look at things, you can't beat it," he said. "You get to experience leaving the U.S. and going to a different state of circumstances, and the people who do go just have a wonderful time." The experience is further enhanced by the fact that students can choose to go "pretty much anywhere," according to Ross, but, he admits, traveling across the ocean is not always wrinkle-free. "There's always some transition problems," Ross said. "Culture shock is a real phenomenon. Even returning home for some students is difficult."

Credit and housing are the same way?norms vary between programs. ISEP has the institution students traveling send transcripts back to the Unitr ed States, where the individual school's departments decide how much credit the student receives. As far as housing is concerned, different arrangements are made at different institutions within ISEP. Some stay in dormitories, some stay with host families and some stay in apartments. "The most common is student housing or host families," Ross said. "Host families are especially good to learn a second language." And under normal circumstances, exchange students don't have to even think about getting a job. "It's very difficult to work abroad," Ross said. "Most countries don't allow students to work. Ordinarily that's very hard." For more information on becoming a foreign exchange student, call ISEP at 777-7461. 9 ice s 'Certain exelusk
