Thursday night was Kappa Delta's
big night as Maiy Wood Beasley, South
Carolina's first lady, was inducted as
an honorary member.
Kappa Delta's annual Shamrock
Project gained the support of the first
lady because of the fundraising efforts
to heln nrevent child abuse. Since be
coming the first lady, Wood Beasley
has advocated many issues, several relating
to children.
For example, a few years ago, Gov.
and Wood Beasley launched their campaign
to decrease the infant mortality
rate by promoting prenatal care.
Wood Beasley kicked off this year's
Shamrock Project fundraising campaign,
said Ansley Mitcham, Kappa
Delta alumnae president. All of the
money raised in this campaign goes to
help the prevention of child abuse.
Wood Beasley is the first honorary
member to be inducted into the Kappa
Delta sorority, Mitcham said.
Kappa Delta chose Wood Beasley
to become an honorary member because
her philanthropic work across
the state, Mitcham said.
"An honorary member induction
is designated to honor certain members
of our society," Mitcham said. "It
is out way of acknowledging them."
Wood Beasley said she was look:

ensemble, Brothers and Sisters in Control
(BASIC).
BASIC Theater, founded in January
1997, is a division of the Office of
Multicultural Affairs. What sets this
theatrical ensemble apart from the rest
is that it allows students the opportunity
to display their performing arts
mlents while exposing the campus community
to theater that addresses so:ial,
cultural and diversity issues.
In the past, BASIC Theater has
performed pieces addressing subject
matters such as AIDS, sexual abuse
and drug awareness.

It's time to start thinking about
internships. ;
No matter what your major or
low far along into it you are, it's never
too early to consider an internship,
according to Anne Orange, Career
Center librarian at USC.
Students should begin filling
iut applications for spring internships
and for some fall internships.
"January can be too late," Orange
said. "Some internship deadlines
are a year in advance."
Finding the right place to look
for internship information can be difficult
and confusing. Students can
jet advice from all over the university,
not just the Career Center, but
it's considered the "cleanncrhmise"
ivhen looking for scholarships, Orange
said.
There are certain requirements
;hat differ from department to department
for gaining accreditation.
For some departments, including the
School of Journalism and Mass Communications'
advertising and public
relations departments, internships
are normally taken during junior or
senior years, according to Jerome
Jewler, professor and director of ad/ertising
and public relations in;ernships
program.
Orange advises students to keep
m mind that not all schools give credit
for internships and there could be
some classes that must be taken before
credit can be given for an in

Jamilah Fraser' Abdur Rahim, the
ensemble's producer, said one of the 19
most rewarding benefits of being in- to
volved in such a group is that each per- f0I
formance allows you to "express your- m(
self in a different light."
"We control what we bring on,
that's why it's called Brothers and Sis- ^
ters in Control," Rahim said. ^
BASIC Theater also is dedicated sir
to building the students' character, self ^
confidence and self-esteem. The the- gD
ater serves as another avenue for stu- ^
dents to share their talents.
