in the song-writing process while Haynes
is the primary lyric writer. "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.
Those interested can get the cassette
by calling (803) 799-8322.

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.

16 years old and based in Washington,
D.C. 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."
Ross said the cost also depends on

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.
