After a quick glance at a bulletin board in Cabell Hall, you could have your schedule for next week filled with concerts, lectures, plays and symposia.

The idea of trying to get a job in New York City conjures up images of living in overpriced, tiny apartments while working two menial jobs and jumping at every opportunity to get hired somewhere else. But it doesn't have to be that hard. Next Tuesday, University Career Services will hold an information meeting about the New York Recruiting Alliance for third- and fourth-year students interested in a job or an internship in New York.

The alliance serves as a liaison between students at those schools and companies in New York who are interested in hiring them. After the information session, students from any school can drop off their resumes in the UCS office by Jan.

Courtney Hagen -- Fourth-year CollegeMargaret Kramer -- Fourth-year Engineering Q: How do you two feel about the fall season in Charlottesville and at U.
Last year I was one of five girls in my senior class to be voted "Most likely to be Presi-dent." Not that being politically oriented is a bad thing, but if you knew me, you would realize why this "honor" carried an air of absurdity. For one, I hate "leading" because I always end up doing all the work (or maybe I have a hard time trusting other people -- but that's a whole web of psychoanalysis for another day).Besides, you should see the other girls who were selected. Yearbook at my school practically was a career, run by an oligarchy of overachievers who made it their mission to document every single aspect of our all-girls' school life, annoying the student body to no end in the process.They snapped useless pictures and wrote copy that no one ever reads in the name of "Quill and Scroll" awards.

On the surface, it doesn't look so bad.
