W hen it came time to decide on a major, fourth- year College student Bahie Rassekh wasn't interested in merely following the pre-med path or limiting her studies to the confines of a single discipline. So she joined the ranks of students who have majored in fields such as "Irish Studies" and "Persuasion." Coming into the University, Rassekh had a strong interest in studying health and she thrived on the challenge of completing her pre-med requirements. But she also liked sociology and psychology, and she thought that a health-centered education would be incomplete without focusing on the social aspects that affect a person's well-being. Rassekh instead wanted to personalize her major to encompass community service, along with the educational and medical issues that affect health. And she discovered that she did not have to resort to a traditional program of study to accomplish that goal. Rassekh took advantage of the Interdisciplinary Major Program and put together her own requirements.

Just aikido-it By Katie Sullivan Cavalier Daily Senior Writer The third floor of Newcomb Hall reverberated yesterday afternoon as full-grown men flung each other to the ground in Newcomb Hall Ballroom. The only potential damage was to the floor itself, however, because all the fights were just part of the Martial Arts Expo. The expo, organized by fourth-year Engineering student Jae Woo Pak, was designed to increase the martial arts presence on Grounds. "I get frustrated because it's hard to book good rooms," Pak said.
