That left me with a clearer idea of myself and what I need and what I want, not just from people, but from myself and from the world. "The whole experience (of watching him get sick and die) also taught me to look after myself a little more. I'm always looking after other people. He also taught me a little bit about dedication and really being committed to what you believe in." Sasser's lecture was sponsored by Residence Hall Association and Health and Wellness Programs. Keisha Mouzon, NACURH communications coordinator at RHA, said Sasser has i.i l'ttj i._ i : i~ c j-r/r a uie iujwiy uj uniig peupie ituiu uinerciit backgrounds together. "I think if s a really good opportunity for students because I know working with other organizations and the programming that goes on, it's kind of hard to get students to come together," Mouzon said. "By having Sean, you're going to get a more diverse group, and being that it's Diversity Week, you want to try and get diverse groups to come in. There will be a better mix of students, so you'll see better ideas, and you'll see everybody's point of view. "I think it was a really good move by RHA to have him come. Everybody sees Sean Sasser or at least recognizes MTV and 'Real World,' so you'll get a bigger crowd with more ideas to talk i i nil il i 1 at>out some 01 me issues mat are mayoe a little more touchy and most people don't want to talk about." Jackie Rice, president of RHA, said Sasser's speech benefits RHA because he promotes interaction among people who are different. "The Residence Hall Association tries to represent everyone on campus," Rice said. "We want people to know that we are about more than free food.

At USC, many student leaders stand out because of their dedication to the school Last week, the university recognized the efforts of one leader, Clifton Chestnut, through the Outstanding Freshman Advocate Award. "The Freshman Advocate award recognizes any student, faculty member or person in the Carolina community who has made a significant contribution to the freshmen this past year," said Julye Johns, the 1995 Outstanding Freshman Advocate. Acoording to freshman Teddy Elgarico, who nominated Chestnut, the award gives back to the school by showing the efforts of faculty, students and administrators. "The Outstanding Freshman Advocate award recognizes what makes this school great," Elgarico said. After working with Chestnut in Freshman Council, Elgarico decided to nominate him for the award. Elgarico said he and Chestnut had a normal mentor relationship until the Student Senate elections when Chestnut gave advice based on his own experiences. "He told me that even if I didn't win a senate position, I stilled gained experience r 1EMM? msmmt - v i w ...

The interview process allowed the selection committee to talk with the nominees and gain a better understanding of their involvement with freshmen. "The committee looked for someone who had not only done something for one freshman because they had to, but someone who truly advocated freshmen," Johns said. "We wanted someone who understood (the freshmen's) experiences and helped them in any way possible." After interviewing the nominees, the committee felt Chestnut best fit the definition of a freshman advocate. "Chestnut showed true commitment to helping freshmen; he helped many," Johns said. "He understands what they're going through and knows how to help them." Chestnut said he sees the award as imnnrtant heranse the needs of freshmen are overlooked in many ways. TJSC does a lot to orient (freshmen) to college life, but it's up to the upperdassmen to make them feel welcome as well," Chestnut said. Speaking for upperclass, he added, "since we've all been in the position (of being a freshman), if s the least we can do. If more students were willing to assist rather than criticize freshmen, it would make their lives a whole lot easier."
