LeConte CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 sity in undergraduate enroll ment. Bierbauer said private funds would be necessary to aid in both the renovations and the transi tion to a different facility. He said he sees the fund-rais ing effort as largely his responsi bility. “As quickly as I am successful at raising the funds to support this project, that will determine the pace at which we can move forward,” he said. Bierbauer said he is confident that the college will acquire the necessary funds, despite the lag ging economy. He said the College of Mass Communications and Information Studies will be successful in its fund rasing because the college | has been promised a building since the 1980s. “So I’m very hopeful that our alumni and our friends yvjll rec ognize that this is something that is long overdue,” he said.

The event is open to the public, and tickets are $3. The String Project was modeled alter a similar program at the University of Texas at Austin, but has meta morphosed over the years into what it is today. There are about 30 string pro jects nationwide, primarily based on those at Texas-Austin and USC. Because of a grant from the Nord Family Foundation, USC’s String Project will soon see some changes. Gail Barnes, program di rector, says the money will be used to buy more string basses, giving students better access to the expensive instruments. Grant money will also be used to award a limited number of scholarships to local students. One of the project’s missions is to serve students who might otherwise be unable to afford music lessons. Another change the project faces is relocation — its current building is the site of a new re search park being planned by USC. “The String Project was one of the drawing factors for me in choosing Uoi/, Newton said. “But since be ing here, it’s af firmed the fact that I’m sup posed to be a music educa tor. The hands on teaching ex perience has confirmed the pas sion that I have for music, but in addition, the passion that I have for teaching younger children.” Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com “The String Project was one of the drawing factors for me choosing USC.” DANA NEWTON SECOND-YEAR MUSIC-EDUCATION STUDENT Fair CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 really know where I’d start look ing for a job,” Vanlerberghe said.

There are also “on-call hours,” which offer students who can help with resumes, as well as counseling meetings without appointments. About 800 students participat ed in the fair last year, as well as some alumni and younger stu dents, Reyes said. This year , however, it is focused more on seniors. Amy Rybarcvyk, a fourth year Russian student, said that it’s very difficult for students majoring in Russian to find a job pertaining to their area of study and that the uncertainty of not having a job makes her anxious.
