Representatives from more than 125 companies met with students Wednesday for Fall Career Day in Alumni Park. Real-world opportunities come to USC IBM, Pepsi, AT&T attend career fair to recruit students By Jack Isselmann Staff Writer FBI agents stormed Alumni Park for an "initial contact day" Wednesday, along with representatives from more than 125 companies who met and recruited students during Fall Career Day. Companies and corporations, including IBM, Pepsi, Boeing, Honda, By Petula Dvorak Staff Writer Plans for a new teaching library, scheduled for completion by the fall of 1992, have raised concerns about the future of the university library system and the cost to improve it. Many students have expressed concern that the $28 million project has ied to cutbacks in financial aid. "I don't think the university needs another library as much as students need the money to help pay their tuition," said Lyla Yee, an undeclared sophomore. However, funds for the library are coming from the Campaign for USC, an effort launched in 1984 with the goal of raising $557 million dollars through outside donations, said Charles Ritcheson, university librarian. University President James Zumberge and American Telephone & Telegraph Co., set up booths throughout Alumni Park to offer advice, accept resumes and schedule interviews. Career Day, sponsored by the university's Career Development Center, has grown immensely since its inception in the early '70s and has become something that students depend on, said Jerry Houser, director of the center. "Students rank career opportunities up with academics as their primary reason for coming to USC," Houser said. "I'd say we see about 90 percent of the student body in our ofPce at one has frequently declared that the library, which began development seven years ago, is the central point of the campaign, Ritcheson said. "Having a library of this caliber is a responsibility to the campus community," Ritcheson said. "I would like to emphasize the supreme importance of a teaching library for the university." With the new teaching library, Doheny Library will serve as a true research facility for the humanities and social sciences, he said. Because Doheny Library is built to serve only half of the students actually attending the university, students' complaints about the system were vital to the decision to build the new teaching library, Ritcheson said. The need for the library was a decision confirmed by the entire university, he time or another before they graduate. Career Day has become an important part of our career placement program." Many student participants said the event familiarized them with the current state of the job market and their chances of finding employment. "I'm just here to get a feel for things. It was good to have these companies here and see what kind of jobs are available to choose from," said Renee Naness, a senior majoring in communications. "I thought there were going to be all (See Career Day, page 6) said. The Student Senate, Faculty Senate and deans of every school and department agreed that it was a priority that had to be addressed. The teaching library will meet the needs of both faculty and students, with a 75-percent increase in the number of seats available, a doubling of the current volume of the foundation collection and about 150 computers, Ritcheson said. Students also have expressed the need for a 24-hour library, he said. "When you live with someone else and you have conflicting study schedules, you need to have another place to study, any time of the day or night," said Gigi Vallejo, a junior^majoring in psychology. Ritcheson said he heard student complaints last year and extended College Library's usual closing time from midnight (See Library, page 16) Graduates lose bid for fund plan Carry-over financing proposal defeated By Jason Carroll Staff Writer The Student Senate defeated legislation Wednesday that would have allowed the Graduate Program Board to use carryover funds to finance graduate school events. The narrow decision was reached after a heated hourlong debate, during which several of the proposal's points were attacked. According to the senate constitution, any funds remaining in a carry-over account must be consolidated into a general holding account, which is added to the next year's Student Programming Fees for reallocation. The defeated proposal attempted to exclude the Graduate and Professional School Program Fee rebate from that law. Had it been approved, the Graduate Program Board would have been authorized to use its rebate from the previous year to form a joint programming account. (See Senate, page 15) In Brief Top medical award given to inventor of French abortion pill NEW YORK — America’s most prestigious medical award was given Wednesday to the developer of the controversial French abortion pill, a decision criticized by anti-abortion activists. Dr. Etienne-Emile Baulieu studied the workings of hormones for nearly 30 years before provoking an international ethical debate with his discovery of the drug RU 486, which prevents a fertilized egg from developing into a pregnancy. The drug, reportedly being used for about 15 percent of elective abortions in France, has not been approved in the United States.
