Career Fair to staff writer SHMOHHE POTTS Many freshmen are getting a head start in the job market by attending this year's career fair. Students agree the career fair will help them understand the workings of specific careers and raise their awareness of alternative fields. "Some people are not sure of what they want to do, so I think they'll go to this fair to enhance their knowledge of other careers," freshman Nicole Turn er said. ] 1 Students to < staff writer KATIE MIXON , When students vote on Thursday , for the 1998 hall government officers, . they will select students who will eventually spend thousands of residents' , dollars on hall government activities ( for the year. ( Students elected to serve on the ex- j ecutive board of hall government meet , weekly to discuss anything from social events to building improvements. Any- ( one who lives in a dorm has the opportunity to attend the meetings and voice an opinion, even if they are not on the executive board. When students pay to live on a res- , idence hall, they pay a student activi- . ty fee. These fees add up, and the students decide where the money should ] go- j "This is the studenf s voice; we want j to respect that," said Mark Jennings, , Residence Life coordinator for Capstone ( area office. j Those elected represent the students that live in their building in the Resi K ^ -ASSi ^e are cu Mainframe , Mnstomsak tyreeinis I0!3?.

It is a good idea for students to attend the fair because of its less formal atmosphere, said Maureen Durkin, the program's coordinator. "We want our students to succeed, and this is the kind of event that provides students with co-op jobs or internships," Durkin said. The career fair is in its 23rd year. Previously the fair had 75 employers representing different companies. Now the fair has 90 representatives. elect RHA lence Hall Association. RHA members include anyone that lives on campus, making this the second largest organization at USC. "My main goal this year with RHA is to work side-by-side with Student Government. The last president did an Dutstanding job, and it will be hard to follow up," RHA President Emily Rivers said. Each residence hall has its own government or council. Those elected serve a one-year term. The positions available include president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, two RHA senators and two floor representatives. Anyone who lives in a dorm is eligible to run for an office. "I want to get more involved in RHA aesides just being a member.
