Attention ladies of
Fairfield, the career planning
center announces the opportu-nity
of a lifetime. This Friday,
April 3 from 4-7 P.M. White
House officials will be in the
Oak Room interviewing for in-ternships.
These high profile
internships will enable four
lucky Fairfield women the
chance to work one on one with
the President himself, Bill
Clinton.
Chief White House
official, Dick McFeely reports
that the President is looking for
"a few good women to work up
close and personal with him on
a daily basis concerning press-ing
projects which may extend
into the evening hours."
McFeely also said that the in-terns
will be constantly chal-lenged
by the President himself
with the hopes that at the

completion of the internship
one women will have the honor
of sitting on his staff.
When asked what the
main criteria would be for the
four selected, McFeely said
that the President is looking for
young women "who are very
open, like to be challenged, can
work responsively under the
President, and can measure up
to her predecessors."
Dear Mr. Dalton,
I amjust writing to thank you for offering me
the experience of a lifetime. My prior internship at
the White House was a dream come true, working
under the President was challenging but always in-teresting.
Something was always coming up, he kept
me busy all of the time. In addition I was able to
develop talents that I never knew I possessed. The
support and encouragement the President offered me
penetrated me deeply- it was the most touching ex-perience
I have ever had the pleasure of encounter-ing.
I can with all sincerity urge your current stu-dents
to become White House internship candidates.
You may be discouraged because you don't feel you
will measure up to past interns, but have no fear be-cause
the Democratic nature of Mr: Clinton allows
him to be open to woman of all shapes and sizes- his
tastes are truly nondiscriminate. I invite you to take
this opportunity with all assurance that the Presi-dent
will welcome you onto his staff with open arms.
Mr. Dalton, I feel that I owe this experience all to you
and the Career Planning Center, thank you again.
My sincere best wishes to all intern candidates!
Sincerely, Monica
aNot-so-Great" Hunger Clean-up:
A Miserable Second
Dole R. Givemee
Contributing Writer
In a huge setback,
Fairfield University lost 1998's
March Madness for the NCAA
Hunger Clean-up's top prize.
It was very disconcerting Jesu-its
worldwide that all these rich
students could not raise more
money. Despite the advertised
minimum fee for participation
being a mere $5, that was only
a suggestion. Unfortunately,
too many volunteers took Cam-pus
Ministry at its word and
thus we are losers for '98.
University officials
are shaken so much, efforts are
being made to increase the
motivation to participate in this
day of "service." They tried
giving out "free" tee-shirts to
those who paid enough. Then,
to encourage higher fund-rais-ing,
prizes were given to the
highest raising efforts. It
seemed a sure formula: the
more money you submit, the
more stuff you get. Now, they
are considering granting three
credits and fulfillment of the di-versity
requirement in order to
gain the trophy again in 1999.
They are also considering a more
Jesuit-like theme for 1999: "Pay
to volunteer and Get Stuff."
I guess the day was not
a total loss, however. Some
valuable work was done in
neighboring towns. Because of
Fairfield students' efforts, an
exclusive boys club has new
wind screens around their ten-nis
courts. Another such club
has a brand new fence for the
Lacrosse field. However, this
year another club did not allow
weeding to be done by our stu-dents
because there was an in-stance
of a stick accidentally
scratching a BMW in the park-ing
lot. Fairfield contends that
it feasibly could have been a va-let
parker who scratched the car,
but FU. students were blamed.
Nevertheless, tremendous work
was achieved at many other ex-photo:

Clean Up.
elusive local sites.
Just think, the work of
Fairfield students enabled Glen,
the gardener at one club, to have
the day off! Imagine how great
the Tennis will be at that
Southport country club! Also,
to ensure that hunger was
beaten, subs and soda were
served in the Barone Campus
Center for all the workers after
the day's events.
In conclusion,.
Fairfield University is mourning
the fact that no video collage
will be shown on MSG, no tro-phy
will be given to us, nor will
we be able to publicize our-selves
as Champions of this
money-focused volunteer day.
Well, let's all take the lesson
from this: Focus on FU's Jesuit
ideals and start submitting your
money now for 1999! Remem-ber:
Pay to Volunteer and Get
Stuff.
